A Chihuahua should be at least 6-8 weeks old before it is homed. If you are giving/selling away the runt of the litter you should keep it for approximately 10-12 weeks to let it live off the mothers milk for extra nutrients so it can grow to be stronger and healthier.
A group of puppies is called a litter. The size of a litter can vary drastically based on the breed and if it is the dogs first litter.
My dog had six puppies in her 1st litter of puppies.
No, the quality of a litter of puppies is not determined by the order in which they are born. Each litter can vary in terms of health, temperament, and other factors.
You will not no intell she has her puppys.
The possessive form for the irregular plural noun puppies is puppies'.example: This is the first litter for the puppies' mother.
well they say 4-5 puppies in a litter but i cant believe that cause these puppies are really small well my Bichon Frise had her first litter and there was 6 puppies BTW they where all girls
It varies, like all pregnancies. However, my friends pit had 9 in her first litter.
No, just because the litter is small doesn't mean that the puppies won't be healthy. You can have unhealthy puppies in a large litter as well. The best way to make sure that the puppies will be healthy is to make sure that the mother has the proper care and nutrition during her pregnancy. First litters can also be low in number.
Small dogs can have varying litter sizes in their first litter, but typically they have between 1 to 4 puppies. It ultimately depends on the breed of the dog and the individual dog's genetic factors.
this can be anything from around 5 - 9... but looking under your dog you'll see how many teets it has, it should be 8-10, this gives you a clue on how many babies it is likely to have :)
there is not set number of puppies in a litter, the pups can range in number from 1-13, bigger dogs, like mastifs have larger litters, around 6-13 puppies on average.
Nope. But it will do surely as it cant live without doing excretion.
