This is your complete guide to puppy development from birth to six months old.
Enjoy photos of newborn puppies and watch them develop into beautiful Labradors.
Newborn puppies may cry if cold, but do not have the strength to cry for long.
The pups are not completely helpless, they can use their front feet to drag themselves towards a heat source or their milk supply.
Newborn pups have no teeth yet, but can move their heads about to search for a nipple, and they can latch on and suck strongly.
Their mother leaves them only to eat, drink and for bathroom purposes.
While she is away, the puppies will crawl together to preserve their body heat, or crawl under a heat lamp source to keep warm.
In every other respect newborn puppies are completely dependent on the care of their mother.
They have little control over the rear end of their bodies. The mother dog washes them and licks their bottoms to encourage elimination, licking up and swallowing anything they produce to keep her babies and their nest scrupulously clean.
1 week old puppies
Your puppy will grow rapidly during his first week to ten days and may even double his birth weight.
He’ll look plumper and stronger too. And his face will look just a little more ‘dog’ like.
Changes are taking place under his eyelids to prepare them for opening.
A puppy’s eyes don’t open suddenly, it is a gradual process. And usually begins during the second week of life.
2 week old puppies
Some big changes have taken place during the last week.
Some two week old puppies will have their eyes fully open and most will be at least partly open. Ears open at this point too and your puppy will begin to hear.
The Labrador puppies in this picture are two weeks olds.
You can see that their eyes are now open and the puppies are beginning to look a little more dog like.
The breeder will be handling the puppies more now. It’s an exciting development! And most puppies are wormed for the first time at two weeks old. And things are about to get much more interesting.
3 and 4 week old puppies
The last week has brought a dramatic change in strength and mobility. The puppies’ rear legs start to catch up with the front.
Most three week old puppies can stand and sit, and are beginning to totter about. And they are also starting to develop their individuality.
No longer are they just a row of identical little fat furry sausages!
This little three week old puppy :-
Can easily be distinguished from his brother
This is also the point at which puppies start teething – cutting their first deciduous baby teeth.
