* i would certainly hope not however I have seen dogs that get aggressive towards their pups/ dogs and have attempted to harm them

** Yes, if they are stressed, or if they haven't had good parenting themselves.

Parenting, even among dogs, is learned behaviour.

If a mother dog is harming the new puppies, she might easily cause their death. On the other hand, removing the puppies could cause the mother to reject them.

It's very difficult to know whether to step in and take the puppies or remove the mother. Sometimes it's enough to put the mother in a separate area for a while, where she can see the puppies but not reach them physically.

The best course of action when a mother dog is acting aggressively towards her puppies is to call a vet for advice on the particular situation.
