Was just wondering if I possibly ruined the best acting female in my litter and what yalls experience is with situations like this. She's 3 months old by the way. I understand I made a huge mistake and I already feel bad about it so no need to let me know. Just wanted to know if anyone had similar experiences and if she'll be okay. Jack, I would really appreciate your input since you have tons of experience with puppies. Thanks in advance.
That's a good way to ruin/lose your pups.

When they begin to start is when you need to begin the separation process.

Yes, it was stupid to sit there and watch the whole pack get on your bitch all at once, but it sounds like you've already figured that out

I've had to keep fully-started pups separate as early as 6 weeks ... while others could stay together for 4-5 months. Still, by the time they're 3 months they should always be in pairs, only, because (yes) they do have a tendency to gang-up and will kill the hapless "one" they choose very quickly
