Hiya Bruce :)
In my experience; I've found that there is very little that can replace having a good bitch in the house to teach the young ones manner...but fast.
Aik sired a litter that I whelped. I kept the dam here as well as the pups and obviously had the sire. By 10 weeks..... the pups instinctively knew that it was just dandy to climb over PaPa's back; yank his tail, chew on his ears, climb on his belly and gnaw on his paws when he'd roll around with them....... but MaMa.....just doesn't put up with those games.
Aik did teach them a lot..... How to have fun more than anything... but when MaMa appeared; it was almost comical to watch 10 youngsters straighten right up.
She would walk past poor Aik and just glare at him.....like he's dropping the ball in the parenting department because he allows such behavior from the brood.
He didn't care though... he always had a great time with his "kids" :)
