No eight week old puppy can survive on its own so this really depends on context, and breed. Arctic wolves live and breed in permafrost (i.e. the ground never thaws) right at the limit of what dogs can handle.

A nurtured, temperate domestic dog can't deal with anything close to that, so a good rule of thumb is probably that if it feels cold to you, it feels cold to the puppy too.

What happen during each stage of the life stage?

there is no definite 'cycle' for dogs (as there would be in an insect) unless you are thinking of 'puppy cycles'-- a time cycle of what happens to a puppy starting from birth to 1 year old-- as breeders sometimes call them. 3 hours after birth: the puppies are deaf, toothless and blind. they can feel with their head and can taste and smell. they can raise their head, roll over and squirm to their mother for milk. 1 week after birth: 90% of a puppies time at this age is spent sleeping and the other 10% the puppy will suckle, aka suck milk. The mother will stimulate the puppies to pee by licking their genitals (eww). This continues until the puppy is about 3 to 4 weeks old. 2 weeks after birth: Touching reflexes develop in the puppies front legs so that he/she can sit up. Between 8 to 10 days the puppies eyes will open but vision is still limited. Between 12 and 16 days old the puppies will start to hear for the first time as their ear canals open. 3-4 weeks: Touch reflexes develop in the puppies back legs so he can stand and movement quickly develops. The pain receptors are now developed so the puppy will feel pain as quickly as an adult dog. The puppies milk teeth will also start to appear at this age. Between 4 and 5 weeks the puppies vision will develop fully and the puppy will begin interacting and playing. 5-8 weeks: Reflexes, balance and coordination are developing quickly by now and the puppy will begin to investigate his surroundings. At this age weaning puppies for sale can begin, but some may be closer to their mothers than others. By 8 weeks the puppy will have a fully developed nervous system and will be ready to go to his new home. 8-18 weeks: This period is very important in the learning of your puppy. You should socialize the puppy at this age to make him a confident and well adjusted adult dog. Around 10 weeks of age you might experience a brief fearful stage. 4-6 months: Adult teeth will begin to appear and the puppy will begin testing limits of permitted behaviour. At around 4 months the puppy might have another fearful stage where he is nervous around strangers and in situations he is not used to. 6-9 weeks: These are the teenager months and puberty begins and may finish, where females have their first season and males begin to show masculine behavior. 1 year: Once the puppy reaches 1 year old he is technically an adult. The puppy still has a lot of maturing to do though both mentally and physically. puberty should finish by now.
