They are soft because for one thing they're babies and also because they have some kind of special fluid in their stomachs and once the fluid is gone the puppy's soft baby fur sheds and then the baby fur gets replaced by adult fur. (this is why most dogs shed) But not only puppies have the special fluid but other baby animals such as kittens, birds, bear cubs, baby monkeys and other animals also have the fluid in their bodies. Plus the human baby has it, too. And there's your answer.

∙ 12y agoBecause they're babies. Another reason why is because they're new and haven't been exposed to the elements yet such as the sun because they been sitting in the womb for so long. Also the womb contains a fluid called the amniotic fluid and for some reason it makes hair and skin soft. So when a puppy is born it's fur will feel soft. That's why puppies feel soft. Because they been sitting in water for a long period of time.

Yes. All puppies are soft. Even hairless breeds such as the Chinese crested are because their skin feels soft and smooth. And in fact pugs stay soft all their lives! When a pug is born their fur is soft and delicate and as they get older it grows thicker but still remains soft.The fur doesn't change. A pug puppy feels exactly the same as an adult pug but the puppy may only seem softer because the fur is finer and is not as thick. But their fur both feels soft almost no different.
