Did a quick search found this. There is a fourth critical period but it starts from 12 weeks. Hope it helps FIRST PERIOD (0 - 3 weeks) The puppy is on its mother, or substitute mother, for thefirst 21 days of it's life. Some of us have worried because a mother willscarcely leave her litter during this first five or six days after the puppiescome, even to eat or to relieve herself. This is because the puppy is socompletely dependent upon her and its litter mates for warmth, that it isnecessary for it to snuggle up to its mother and brother and sisters. Atemperature of 85 F - 90 F (29.4 c - 32.2 c) is about right for the first weekof a puppy's life. It has been noticed that the puppies just seem to sleep andeat, and the mother constantly massages them with her tongue. This licking isnecessary, not only to keep them clean, but to cause elimination, for thepuppies at birth and for many days afterwards are not able to eliminate ontheir own. Nursing puppies eat a little and then rest against their mother'swarm breast and she massages them. This is repeated many times a day. The first 21 days of a puppies life is very crucial as thetime of survival. Warmth, food, massage, and sleep are the things a puppy needsfor this period.There is a slight variation in the length of the first period,but with all puppies of all breeds it is complete by the 21st day and thenthere is a sharp break. A PUPPY UNDER 21 DAYS OF AGE CANNOT LEARN OR BETRAINED! SECOND CRITICAL PERIOD (4 weeks - 7 weeks) Beginning on the 21st day, the puppy can see quite well, andcan hear and smell. From now on, environment plays its part in the developmentof the dog. Suddenly the big world about him is opened up to his attention andhe needs his mamma very much. He can be handled, however, and socialization canstart so that he will start to form attachments to human beings. For the nextfour weeks, his brain and nervous system are developing, and at the end ofseven weeks of age puppies have the capacity of an adult dog, but of course,not the experience. During this period (4 weeks - 7 weeks) the puppies socializewith their mother and litter mates and thus form their attachments to otherdogs. This is the normal thing for them to do and plays a very important partin the well-rounded development of a dog. If they are taken from their motherand litter mates before the end of the seven weeks, they miss some of theircanine socialization and show less interest in dog activities than if they areleft the full seven weeks. Experience has shown that the puppy who does notcomplete his seven weeks of canine socialization is often the same dog that,when grown, picks fights with all the strange dogs he meets, is terrified ofother dogs, or is difficult to mate. During this four-week period, from 21 days to seven weeks ofage, playing and even play fighting begins. In some of the litters this becomesquite serious fighting, and order of dominance has begun. It is believed that the ideal time for the puppy to go to anew owner is at approximately nine weeks of age, which is also a good time forweaning. The two things are probably best accomplished at the same time. Experiments have shown that you cannot really teach a puppyuntil it is about 21 days old, and that it is probably best to leave it withits mother and litter mates until it is 8-10 weeks of age. The question arises'When is the best time to teach a puppy." The answer is, of course, assoon as it can learn, which is during the second critical period (21- 49 daysof age). THIRD CRITICAL PERIOD..... (7 weeks - 12 weeks) During the third critical period, from the 49th day to the84th day (7 - 12 weeks), the puppies should get as wide a variety ofexperiences and instructions as their puppy minds and emotions are capable ofabsorbing. Experience has indicated that it is detrimental to give puppieslonger training periods than daily 15 minute sessions at this age. The adviceis that a puppy should have the benefit of its trainer's wholehearted andundivided attention to make it feel important. Evidence points to the fact that puppies have a short periodearly in life when social relationships are established with members of theirkind and after which it becomes increasingly difficult or impossible toestablish them. The same applies to their relationships with human companions.The period in which puppies can best be socialized and begin their training isin the period of 5 weeks to 12 weeks of age.

Kelly, Erik and myself had a fantastic time. Darwin enjoyed his runs on the scooter, Daughtry enjoyed meeting other Huskies and for once wasn't the smallest there. And Echo as always enjoyed shouting at you all. Erik made new friends and me and Kelly met some new members and made new friends and renewed friendships with The Admin and Mod team. Went for some lovely walks, got well and truly plastered every evening . . . had a great laugh, Next april can't come soon enough. Massive thanks to Saz n Marc for organising the shindig, and for creating the forum in the first place. :laola:

Plain and simple. YES You have a male, this will calm him down, in 90% of cases and you then do not have the risk of him getting your female up the duff. You have a female, you do not want her getting preggers by your male or any other breed of dog you encounter on your walks.
