How long does it take for a dog to go through labor?
Several hours, depending on the amount of pups.
However, if there is more than 1 1/2 hours of labor for the mother dog trying to give birth to a puppy, you will want to contact your vet.
The normal time span between puppies is 10-30minutes, although sometimes there's 45minutes between puppies.
Can a male dog breed before 6 mo?
The rule of thumb for assessing the maturation of dogs is that one dog year is equivalent to 7 human years, or in other words, dogs mature roughly seven times faster than humans. So a 6 month old dog is comparable to a three and a half year old human - which is clearly too young to breed. A human can reproduce as early as 14 years of age (although I don't recommend it) and thus, a dog should be two years old before breeding.

When is too old to breed your dog?
I prefer to wait until a female dog has reached her second year before I decide to breed her. That way, she is fully developed and will have expressed any faults she might possess. In general though, you really shouldn't breed your dog at all. If your "purebreed" female has earned some type of championship ranking, maybe then, but, in general, I cannot encourage backyard breeding. I have seen so many failed experimental combinations of dog. Many people don't realize that, other than making an odd-looking dog, you might breed serious mental instability into the puppies (cute babies, but savage adults). If I find a dog worth breeding, I only breed every two years. Age 2, age 4, age 6, and, if the dog is in super-exceptional condition, age 8. And that's where I stop. Most dogs are not worth breeding though. The shelters are full, don't add to the problem.
Dog locking is simply another term for canine mating. During their mating routine, the male dog's penis swells into what is called a knot. The knot fits behind the female's pelvic bone, and they are basically locked together until the mating it complete and the knot goes back down. That is why you should never pull mating dogs apart. It can injure both the male and the female. Once they start, you pretty much have to just let them finish.

Chiweenie New Person-Chiweenie may be right, but I always called it a dachuahua. I have one myself. They are very nice little dogs. I know this probably isn't right, but my friend always called them Weineruahuas. I guess they can be called a number of things.
Do female dogs go in heat in the winter months?
Yes, this is possible, but as the dog would be very young it is unwise to breed from her at this time. Wait until her third season at least before trying to breed from her as it could cause both mental and physical damage to the female.
Puppies can be safely held and cuddled from the moment they are born. However, it's important to support their bodies properly and handle them gently to avoid causing any harm or discomfort. Lifting and holding a puppy regularly helps them become more comfortable with human interaction and promotes bonding between the puppy and their owner.
If your dog is a female, yes she will be affected. First off, labors do not always go as planned. You are risking a very expensive vet bill if you can fix an issue and you are risking losing your dog. If all goes well, her nipples will always be a little saggy after weening the pups. Her temperament might change a little. My female became more tolerant of other dogs and is more calm. She is an English mastiff and they tend to bulk up muscle wise after having a litter. If your dog is a male, it could make him mark his territory more often. It shouldn't affect his health unless the female has an std. Yes dogs have stds. That's why you have to be careful with who you let your dogs breed with.

What does the smalist puppy look like?
They pretty much look like any other puppy. If the pup is young, you probably won't see any difference at all. Some pups' testicles don't descend until they are as much as six months old. That's the difference, though. An intact dog has testicles and a neutered one does not. Little known dog fact: there is an exception. Believe it or not, it is possible to have artificial testicles implanted when the dog is neutered. Just like breast implants. These implants are called, "neuticles." This is why judges at dog shows have to examine the dog's testicles: to make sure they are real and not neuticles.
What age can puppies go to a dog park?
Puppies can produce puppies as soon as they start their first heat at 6 to 8 months of age. But it's very unhealthy for a dog at that age to have puppies. You'll need to wait until after her third or fourth heat cycle. She'll be just over 2 years old by then. At the age of 2 years is when a dog is fully matured and can be tested for genetic health defects prior to breeding. If you do plan on breeding always find a male that is smaller than your dog. If you breed your female to a larger male your dog can have severe complications. The puppies will be too big for her to carry and deliver. She can die during the birthing.
Wild mallard ducks like to lay their eggs in areas with tall grass or shrubs. Occasionally they will lay their nests in trees and other times they will use nests that humans have provided to keep them safe.

When do new puppies get teeth and when do the start eating dry food?
When the puppy is at about two months old.
If it's available and the puppies are started on mashed wet dogfood at 10 days I've had them eating, by their choice, mom's dry food at 3 weeks. But that should not be depended on as their only source of food. Puppies still nursing should be fed twice a day. Puppies weaned from mom need to be fed three times a day until they are 3 or more months old.
