Puppy Journey

From birth to a new home.

A detailed, age-based view of development, care, observation and preparation for responsible handover.

0

Birth and maternal care

Warmth, nursing, clean bedding and close observation are the priorities. The mother and litter remain together.

2

Early sensory development

Eyes and ears begin opening. Handling remains gentle and brief while maternal care continues.

3–4

Movement and first exploration

Puppies become more mobile, interact with littermates and begin experiencing normal household sounds.

4–6

Weaning and routine

Food transition, hygiene, deworming schedule and observation of individual development become more structured.

6–8

Veterinary and social preparation

Age-appropriate vaccination, health review and controlled social exposure support preparation for future homes.

8+

Responsible handover window

Handover is considered only after age, health, feeding and buyer suitability have been reviewed.

Lifelong ownership

Training, veterinary care, exercise, nutrition and companionship continue for the dog’s entire life.

Development is individual

No two puppies are identical.

Ear position, confidence, size, appetite and learning pace can vary. Photos and observations are current snapshots—not guarantees of adult appearance or temperament.
