Well, that's us both disappointed then!

Thank you for giving more details, I appreciate that it's difficult - My worry is for the Pup, I can see him not being able to be re-homed due to the number of moves & therefore his inability to learn to trust, if that makes sense?

Now it's Titian that is screaming?

Dogs play fight btw - it's normal & looks aggressive & vicious, it rarely is. True dog fights end in blood

I know dogs play fight! No blood But they play fight, then actually fight, as I said Titan is scared at times, tries to run away but has no where to go. Its hours of screaming, yelping and chasing... Only one does the chasing.

Yes Titan is screaming During the fights Ali. Not of a night like Nero was.

I don't know what the norm is but they have gone 5hrs before waking me. Its getting longer though, was nearly 6 last night but they are around 9/10 weeks now

Vets, trainers and friend advised us their age in months plus 1 = the hours they'll comfortably be able to hold their toilet. So, 2.5 months old, maximum of around 4 hours before needing the loo. The key we found to house training was start them young knowing going inside isnt good, catch them before accidents.

I read the other thread about the situation, I had reservations about very young puppies being passed about and not settling, I dont think I could do it to them tbh. Still, I guess it's better to decide now than in 6 months. My boy was VERY boisterous as a pup and still is now at 15 months, although he is calming down. A firm hand and consistent training sorts it, 2 puppies are bound to fight between themselves.

Have you had dogs before? It sounds like a tough start for a newbie tbh, especially if you're not 100% in on it from the outset.
