Hello -
My best friend and I have just recently adopted puppies from the same litter. While we do not live with each other we are just a few blocks away and I anticipate seeing him and my puppy’s littermate often. We’ve also considered using similar doggie daycare and walking services. However, I’ve been reading a lot about littermate syndrome, so am now wondering if our dogs are at risk in developing the syndrome if we allow them to spend too much time together. Would appreciate any/all input based on your personal experience.
