I think that depends on the breed. I read that 50% of the people who adopt Dalmatian puppies do not keep them past the first year because they're not prepared for the extremely high energy level. It's a shame because, from a reputable breeder, these dogs settle down to become great (but still very active) pets.

How long do have to wait before you can bath puppies?

Puppies should not be bathed until they are at least 8 weeks old. Younger puppies are not able to regulate their body temperature well and are more sensitive to cold. Waiting until they are 8 weeks old ensures they are more capable of handling the bathing process without any risks.


At what age do you take the puppies away from the mom?

How do dogs feed their puppies?

For the first few weeks, puppies are nursed on milk produced by the mother dog. As the pups develop they need to start transitioning to solid food. If assistance from the breeder is not available to produce gruel for the puppies to eat, the mother dog will eat and partially digest food which she then vomits for the puppies to eat. This sustains the puppies while they practice eating solid food until they are able to digest it themselves.

What percentage of people with autism and Spina Bifida are aborted?

It would be completely impossible to determine the percentage of people with autism and spina bifida who are aborted, given as they are aborted! You cannot diagnose autism until a person is born, even then some people don't get a diagnosis until well into adulthood.

How long do people need to keep newborn dockson puppies?

If the puppies are with the mother then you should keep them with her until 8 weeks of age. The mother will instinctively wean the puppies on her own, but you may need to help her by removing her from the puppies. The puppies can technically be taken away after 6 weeks, but the longer the puppies are with the mother the better because they will learn from their mother.
