She may not think the pup is up to par, so she may be trying to remove it from the litter. This does not make her a bad mom, this is just a natural thing to do in the animal world. If it keeps up, you may have to separate and bottle feed it.

∙ 15y agoSometimes a mother dog will indeed try to hide one of her puppies, the only reasonable explaination i can give about this is that the mother dog is trying to hide the puppybecause it is "sick" or to "weak" to play or be with the other puppies. Another reason would be because the mother of the puppy cant handle it, in other words she can not take care of the whole litter so she tries to hide the one she cant take care of!
