I have never had a mom let pups nurse at that age but I am sure some would. Some people don't start feeding the puppies solid food soon enough and the pup will nurse longer then. It is possible that the momma was being snappy at the puppies because she did not want them to nurse. I imagine it hurt. I do know that some breeders will lie about the ages of the pups just to make the buyer think the puppies will be small when grown. It is sad the way some people treat their dogs. |
