6 to 8 weeks old
I'm assuming you are referring to the mother dog. No it doesn't hurt her, but it does start to hurt her once the puppies get close to weaning age, because their sharp little teeth can be a bit painful when they try to latch on to her teats.
Puppies have to be atleast 1 month old before they leave their mother.
The puppies start moving on week 8 of the pregnancy as the begin to get in place for birth.
Yes, they will take care of their puppies on there own. If you take care of one of their puppies it will be like if you raised them yourself and the mom will think the puppies are nothing she will proabbly not want them anymore
Drinking milk from it's mother is called "weaning". The mother should stop weaning and nursing her babies in 3 weeks... I would wait about a month. After the babies are done weaning you should immediately separate the babies from the mother AND father. ALSO male and female hamsters can only be together while the female is in heat. During that time they will mate. Once they finish mating take the male out. Keep the male away from the babies, and make sure mom doesn't eat her own pups! Hope this helped :)
yes and no they should be weaning from mom around this age,start giving them soften puppy food, soaked in hot water not milk.
They start weaning them around 4 weeks,as soon as the puppies get teeth.
You can start taking puppies from their mom at 7 to 12 weeks.
Usually by the time a puppy is 3 weeks old, they will start getting their baby teeth in! In my experience, the mothers I bred started weaning the puppies, when they were about 5-6 weeks old, because with the teeth and the puppies nursing, it starts to hurt the mother. Their nails also get long and sharp and that also hurts mom, so it helps mom alot, if you keep them trimmed! You can start introducing puppy gruel to the puppies, when they are 3-4 weeks old, but they will still be nursing from mom also!
taking it away from the mom
puppies do lick their mom
10 times a day
Yes the baby stays with its mom until it starts trying to eat grass then you start weaning it from its mother.
Start with soaking puppy food in warm water then when they get all their teeth about 5 weeks old go to dry food, made with small bites.
a little tiny bit at a time, starting with canned puppy food would be a great way to start weaning.

Puppy Chow is a good place to start and that's probably a good time to start weaning them off of mother's milk if they haven't done so on their own already.
