Why do dogs eat their baby puppies?

Answer 1

a dog will eat her pups when they die shortly after birth or just before they die because she knows there is something wrong with her pups and it helps her get a missing nutrient that she needs. most of the time 99.9% of the time the pups are born dead. this sounds and is gross but it happens even to the best of breed. my father raised expensive hunting dogs and that is what he always told me. i guess everyone will give you a different answer

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tinyurl.im/WBk89

After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.

Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.

My little dachshund had three healthy puppies feeding normally and I went out for a few hours the next day and when I came back she had eaten two of them...half of one was on the floor ..I am so heart broken and so horrified I cannot tell you what I am feeling today...I looked everywhere for another answer not believing what I saw and hen she threw up several times...she threw up her puppies...so there is no question that she indeed ate them alive...what they must have gone through Icannot imagine....I am horrified and heart broken.

If the mother finds that the puppies are unfit to survive and they live they will produce puppies like them which might endanger their species as a whole, it eats them to kill.

Answer 7

Because their puppies have something wrong with them.

Answer 8

Sometimes the mother is lacking in nutrition so she will eat her young because she instinctively knows she is not capable of nursing and taking care of her young.

Answer 9

I have never known a dog to eat a puppy unless it was being starved. Generally if the puppy is sick the mom will not feed it and allow it to perish or if it is not alive when born it will ignore it. I don't know how old you are sweetie, but if you are old enough to understand this: when puppies are born they come out in their own little sac. The mom will tear open the sac and eat it. This is really good for her and will help her to make healthy milk for her puppies to drink. After she eats the sac she will clean the puppies by licking them. This "bath" helps them to take their first breath. Maybe you saw that and thought that the mommy was eating the baby.
