| They do this because in the wild, besides keeping their area clean, and besides the fact that newborn and young puppies can't eliminate on their own, it is a safety thing. The less evidence of new puppies to predators the better! But I agree with you it is a bit gross - just nature though! |

| It goes way back. Mom is protecting her little ones from predators. They will eat everything that would give any signs of young ones being around. It's instinct. |

| moms As much as we all love our dogs, the truth is..they eat poop like it was very tasty. If a mom found it nasty there is nothing you could do to get her to clean up after the pups. We know a dogs sense of smell is highly developed, so how do they go up to a strange dogs pile of poop and put their noses right to it? Have you ever used nail polish or remover when a dog is near..mine freak out and shake their heads, sneeze and run...but poop is perfume to them..LOL |

| When you have your puppies, you will appreciate that she cleans them up for you! The puppies are always nice and clean!
