After the puppies are born, their heads swing from side to side, tentatively walking towards the mother dog’s nipples, looking for the nipples by touch, and once they touch the nipples , he immediately curled his tongue and sucked. However, weak puppies are unable to move and often cannot find the nipple in time or are easily squeezed out. Some female dogs often abandon puppies that do not grow well and push them out of the birth box or block them outside.

This will allow a litter of puppies to grow evenly and avoid polarization.
