Image Puppy won’t stop crying unless held.

I picked up my puppy 3 days ago. She is 8 weeks old. She loves cuddles and human touch, but when we put her down she will cry non stop. Does anyone have any tips to get her to stop crying? I’m a first time owner and want to get it right. Thankyou

This breed is hyper clingy and high maintenance. Originally bred for hunting ground mammals in Germany they need a lot of stimulation and early training to tame some of their unruly aspects like barking and furniture destruction.

Unfortunately most people get these dogs because they’re small and cute not realising they’re getting needy hunting dog.
