The mom was on site, when my brother went to the breeder's place the pup's mom was barking at him but once he was in the apartment she settled down. When the breeder went over to pick up the pup, the mom snapped at her as if she wanted to bite her. Is this kind of behavour okay? I've never bred dogs so I have no idea how the mom is suppose to react around her puppies. It's too cold to take the pup outside now but people come over ever now and then, they pick her up and hold her. If she backs away I will pick her up and hand her to the person. Am I doing the right thing?
