My girl's breeder said her moms mope around a bit after the puppies leave and even the grandmothers do! She's got several dogs so it's not a matter of being lonely. They are all raised in the house so there's a lot of interaction with the moms, dads, pups and grandparents while the puppies are growing up so they might just all notice that there are fewer dogs around - who knows? Also, the breeder keeps the puppies for 16 weeks so that may make a difference too. |
