As a rule of thumb, you can more or less safely remove the puppies at around 7-9 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very often, the mother will start to snap at her puppies, almost offering a symbolic gesture that lets us know that she has done her job now and is ready to let them go. It can be easy to spot this, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/es\/como-saber-si-tu-perra-esta-embarazada-2\/\"><strong>but how to tell if your dog is pregnant<\/strong><\/a>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At around the 7-week mark, a mother will inherently start to distance herself from the puppies, the psychological distance increasing up to nine weeks when she more or less separates herself completely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These numbers are relative, however, as some breeds are said to be better off left until at least 12 weeks. Dogs of this variety that are <a href=\"https:\/\/dogcare.dailypuppy.com\/risks-separating-puppy-early-mom-4478.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">taken away too early<\/a> are said to develop behavioral issues that a new owner might have to deal with, that they might not have learned the basics from their mother yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mother Lab weaning puppy\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ymCXvN7uUyg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"is-it-okay-to-separate-pups-and-moms\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Okay To Separate Pups and Moms?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indeed, it is a perfectly natural part of the process. Allegedly, before full-scale domestication, dogs would have split up of their own accord to avoid incest and inbreeding, which inevitably lead to the fostering of evolutionary defects from DNA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A mother&#8217;s hormones will be high after pregnancy, decreasing gradually over the following weeks until they have decreased sufficiently by 7-9 weeks for the removal of the puppies, though not all at once!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mother will naturally distance herself from the puppies at this point anyhow, and thus will be at least a little relieved to be rid of their youthful energy, giving her some rest so that her shrunken paps might heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"separating-puppies-from-their-mother-relativity\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Separating Puppies from their Mother: Relativity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is all relative to the individual dog, though. Some can react very badly to the removal of their puppies from them, even going so far as to adopt surrogate puppies or young from other species so they can use their motherly instinct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some, by contrast, will begin to get incredibly aggressive towards their young if they stick around for too long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every dog is different and you should adjust your behavior accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T212601.212-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"es cruel separar a los cachorros de la madre\" class=\"wp-image-1978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T212601.212-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T212601.212-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T212601.212-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T212601.212-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T212601.212-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T212601.212-1568x882.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.walkiesandwhiskers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/CD-blog-images-2022-11-02T212601.212.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"top-tips\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are some condensed pointers for preparing to remove the puppies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Try to remove the puppies at the right time &#8211; this is difficult to gauge but you should be able to get a feel for it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give the mother full access when she wants it but also a place to retreat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slowly reduce her food intake to pre-pregnancy levels so her supply of milk naturally dries up.
