Oh he is just so adorable. I will let the breeders answer this one as my only advice is to keep him with you like you already said. :lol:
Little Timmie
Here is a picture of Little Timmie. He is now four weeks old. He was born in a litter of 13 and was the one always pushed aside so we had to start supplementing him. He is doing great but we had an awful scare the other day. I went out to feed him and he wasnt there. I counted and counted and kept getting 12 puppies! The pups ar ein a garage, and there is no way they could get out by themselves , unless the mother intentially carried them away (as she has access to the outside via a doggie door). We looked all over for Little Timmie and I thought she must of took him outside to die (it was -25). Well I finally found him.. in my horses stall hidden in the hay! I couldnt believe it...
Any suggestions. Was she trying to kill him b/c I was feeding him. The odd thing is that the other day she I found her lying in the same spot. Was she trying to get him alone to feed him? She had to take him out of one building and go about 100 feet to another! If she was trying to kill him would she have burried him in the hay? I am just lucky that my horse didnt step on him.. thankfully he was crying or I may have never found him. She wants to be around him when I have him ( I am not going to let her have him back- he stays with us in the house now).
Anyways, he is doing great. Very tiny but very active.

Some times Mama's will kick a puppy to the side so to speak (I know sounds awful but it is a part of nature) if they think the puppy is not gaining like the others or if something is wrong with a puppy. They just have this way of knowing what we don't. I'm not saying that is what she was doing just letting you know that sometimes Mama's do this. 
Hi Molly, Little Timmie is sooooo cute, I could just squeeze him
I think you are smart in taking him away from Momma. As cold as it is, he could freeze in no time. He is old enough and as long as you teach him what his momma would, he will be just fine. I had to take a pup away from his momma just recently because momma was being so rough with him. He was a singleton pup and momma was very rough with him causing terrible bruising to his neck (neck swelled up to the size of a golf ball). I paid special attention to try and teach him like his momma would since he had no siblings to learn from either. He turned out great and his new family just adores him and says he's "perfect". We wonder why the momma's act in these strange ways, sometimes there is a reason but sometimes there isn't and we must intervene. Give Little Timmie an extra hug tonight

Little Timmie is doing wonderful! We bottle fed him for a bit, than this week he started drinking on his own. He is eating soft soaked food tonight for the first time. He is growing, and my 9 month old boy and him are best friends. I think he just needed some extra TLC!
