A friend made this. Those babies are from a dog who he rescued, took care and healed. She gave birth at his place. She has given birth to 10, two died, two already been taken, and six are left. Mama became ill with eclampsia and then mastitis. He bought a manual pump and took the milk from Mom.
My friend is not a rescuer. He learned what he had to do along the way. Very proud of him ……… better he could not do it.
Just as the saying “a chip off the old block” often holds true for humans, it can apply to dogs as well. Puppies that are well-socialized are more likely to come from dogs that are well-socialized.
A basic part of a pup’s socialization is based on their mother’s attitude–relaxed or skittish–toward people. The way you interact with your new puppy can play a big role, too. Playing, petting, and talking with your pup can help him or her develop the “people skills” needed to be a good member of the family and the neighborhood.
While weaning for puppies can take place at six to seven weeks, they are still learning important skills from their littermates as their mother gradually leaves them for longer periods of time. Puppies that stay with their litter for at least three months are more likely to develop good social skills as they act as role models for each other.
