Do dogs remember their siblings?

Should you let a dog see a dead dog?

Do dogs get sad when their siblings died?

How do you separate a sibling puppy?

Crate them separately right next to each other. Your dogs can still see, smell, and touch each other, but they’ll have a physical barrier between them. Slowly move them apart over the next few weeks until they can be calm in their respective crates on opposite sides of the room.

They can become inseparable.
