Dogs can have puppies when there only six months
However, this is FAR too young. Their bones have not fully developed and they will still be growing and need all their enery for that!
Female dogs should not be allowed to have puppies before they are 2yrs old.
She probably isn't biting them. It is more like she is nipping them. This is normal. This usually occurs as a sign of discipline when the puppies are being rough. The mother dog will tolerate the puppies, but she will control her young when they nurse to hard.
The puppies need their mother's milk. No one wants to feed a liitle puppy with a tiny baby bottle several times a day. People want puppies that can eat puppy food. They want puppies that can walk.
Typically, the sex of a newborn puppy can be identified within the first few days of birth by examining the genital area. Male puppies will have a small protrusion called the prepuce, while female puppies will have a vulva. It is recommended to handle newborn puppies gently and with care when determining their sex.
Yes
It is difficult to provide an exact number as birth rates of dogs in the US can vary. However, it is estimated that tens of thousands of dogs are born each day in the US due to the large population of dogs and breeding practices.
from the day they was born
1 to 12 kittens
They are puppies, not humans. Puppies born to the same litter are considered litter mates, but not twins.
Yes, puppies of that age will basically sleep all the time, and feed the rest of the time, but mostly they will just sleep.
Puppies require more regular feeding than adult dogs. It will usually be around 3 - 4 times a day for the first few weeks and this can be gradually reduced. I personally advise reducing it to twice a day as once a day is not regular enough
Dogs can mate at around 6 Months. But please do consider all the unwanted puppies that are killed every day; do we really need more puppies and is it fair to these two pups.
i usually feed them twice a day and i think they're pretty happy with that.
Usually night.

It likes a day of silence and peace. Puppies are born deaf and blind. They cannot walk, so often wriggle and crawl short distances but usually stay very close to their mother. Newborn puppies may be different colours depending on the breed. They will have tiny legs and paws, round bodies and very large heads with their eyes closed.
At birth, same day puppies are born. The second day after birth will double the pain and recovery time. Worst case should be up to the third day of birth, but always within 5 days of birth.
About 63-65 days for a small dog breed, or about 60-70 days for a larger dog
