Female dogs are capable of having puppies at about 6 months when they have their first heat, but breeding them at that young age will do great damage to their still-growing bodies. There will be fewer, less healthy puppies born than if you waited, and they are often born dead. It is much better to wait until the 3rd or 4th heat to breed them.

no feed them baby formula until two months or until mom wants to feed them then u can feed them puppy foodAnother answer:Sorry, the answer above is not correct. Puppies can start eating moistened puppy food at about three weeks. If they don't eat enough of it, you can supplement with formula. By six weeks they should be completely off formula and on food only. Feed your puppy some milk from the store and be shure to take good care of your puppy too


Do 12week old puppies pee a lot?

Puppies do not gain bowel or bladder control until they are around four months of age. Until then, you shouldn't expect a puppy to "hold it" for every long. A good rule of thumb for how many hours a pup can go between potty breaks, is the puppy's age in months, plus one. A three month old puppy shouldn't be expected to "hold it" for more than 4 hours. Until the puppy is trained to relieve itself outside, it would think nothing of going to the bathroom in the house, because it doesn't know any better.
