Can you keep a dog from a litter of 4?
Saying that though, the one Dog (Johnny-Litter of 4-all males)I kept from that litter is very attached to me, but, if he gets something in his mind, you still fall last. As to other dogs he can be, not aggressive, but definitely not accepting of other males or females near his favorite girl.
