the problem with that method, though, is that fostering is a risk in and of
itself (especially at that old of an age). I've had some successful fosters,
but I've also had one mother eat a foster pup, so it is always a risk. In fact
I'd say more so than introducing adults as a pup hasn't got a chance.
