Puppies (Canis lupus familiaris) are born blind and deaf and depend entirely on their mother's warmth in the first days. Their body temperature in the first week is still only 35 to 37 degrees; they cannot yet hold it on their own. At birth a whole litter together weighs about a tenth to a seventh of what the mother weighs. The largest litter on record numbered 24 puppies, born to Tia, a Neapolitan mastiff, in England in 2004. Between the third and twelfth week comes the socialisation phase, when puppies learn what belongs to their world: other dogs, people, noises. The 28 milk teeth come through from the third week and give way to 42 permanent teeth from the fourth month.
Did you know that puppies discover in play with their littermates how much force their jaws produce? If a littermate yelps and stops playing, the bite was too strong; how much this play shapes later bite inhibition is still an open question in behavioural research. What is not in doubt is how much these weeks in the litter matter. In Germany puppies may not be separated from their mother before eight weeks of age, and dogs rehomed earlier are more prone to anxiety as adults.
