How do you breed dogs to enhance the physical traits?

There is no way to "make" the puppies look more or less like either parent - only genetics can decide what the puppies will look like. It can take at least several weeks for puppies to develop their characteristics and personality. In the cases of cross-breeds, there really is no way of knowing. Some pups may look more like their mother, some will take after the father more, or they may be a complete mix of the two.


How do I know the mother dog will let me touch her new born puppies?

Interacting with a mother dog and her newborn puppies should be approached with care and respect. Here are some tips to help ensure the mother dog is comfortable with you touching her puppies: Observe Her Behavior: Watch how the mother dog reacts when you’re near her and the puppies. If she seems calm and relaxed, she might be more open to you touching the puppies. Wait for the Right Time: Avoid touching the puppies immediately after birth or during feeding. Wait until the mother dog is more comfortable and relaxed, typically after the first few days. Approach Slowly: Move slowly and calmly. Sudden movements can startle the mother dog. Speak in a soothing voice to help reassure her. Respect Her Space: Allow the mother dog to come to you or approach the puppies herself. Do not force interaction. Use Gentle Touch: If the mother dog allows you to touch the puppies, do so gently and minimally. Be aware that she may still be protective. Ask for Advice: If you’re unsure or the mother dog seems anxious, it’s best to consult with a veterinarian or an experienced breeder for guidance. Always prioritize the comfort and well-being of both the mother dog and her puppies during interactions.
