Nubhir puppy

A Nubhir puppy is a juvenile Nubhir.

They weigh 6.8–10.4 kg at birth and will grow quickly if healthy. As they reach one month of age, puppies are gradually weaned and begin to eat solid food. The mother may regurgitate partially digested food for the puppies or might let them eat some of her solid food. The mother usually refuses to nurse at this stage, though she might let them occasionally nurse for comfort.

 At first, puppies spend the large majority of their time sleeping and the rest feeding. They instinctively pile together into a heap, and become distressed if separated from physical contact with their littermates, by even a short distance.

 Puppies are born with a fully functional sense of smell, but at first, their retinas are poorly developed and their vision is poor. Puppies are not able to see as well as adult dogs. Between two to four weeks old, puppies usually begin to growl, bite, wave their tails, and vocalize.

 Puppies develop very quickly during their first three months, particularly after they are no longer completely dependent on their mother. Their coordination and strength improve, they spar with their litter-mates, and begin to explore the world outside the nest. They play wrestling, chase, dominance, and tug-of-war games. If a puppy is to be kept as a pet, declawing at 8 - 9 weeks is recommended.

 Socialization 

 Puppies are highly social animals and spend most of their waking hours interacting with either their mother or littermates. When puppies are socialized with humans, particularly between the ages of eight and twelve weeks, they develop social skills around people. Those that do not receive adequate socialization during this period may display fearful behavior around humans or other dogs as adults. The optimum period for socialization is between eight to twelve weeks.
