Cute and beautiful animals Part 1
All of us adore puppies. Surely, it is almost difficult for any dog enthusiast to not do. Why would you not love Wriggly, fluffy, affectionate, and rather beautiful? They are intriguing as well as gorgeous. Discover some of our fave puppy facts right on here .
Born powerless:
When puppies first arrive, you might think they are useless. But did you know they lack teeth and are essentially born blind and deaf? Puppies have closed eyes and ears; hence, even the renowned canine sense of smell is inactive at birth. They open their eyes between 10 and 14 days old, and their eyesight fully develops at around seven weeks.
Touch comes first in developing senses:
Puppies start with touch; most of their senses are not fully developed at birth. A puppy’s mother will lick and nuzzle them, therefore triggering their sense of touch almost from the minute they are born. Your puppy depends on touch constantly throughout their life.
Puppies are capable of becoming twins:
Did you know that dogs can be twins? Vet Kurt de C Kramer delivered the first officially confirmed case of this through the Caesarean section in South Africa in 2016. This was the first known incidence of identical puppies being born, even if further unverified examples of genetically identical canine twins are plausible.
Their first teeth are in place:
Another fascinating fact about puppies is that they lose their first set of teeth. You could call these teeth “baby teeth” because they are so cute. Around 4 months old, your puppy will get adult teeth in place of its baby teeth.
As they get bigger:
their fur might change color. And just like with people, dogs’ coats may change color as they age. Different breeds’ color spots can change and grow in different ways. Dalmatians, like dogs, don’t get their famous spots until they are two or three weeks old. If your puppy is purebred, you can roughly predict their appearance based on the appearance of their parents. But if your puppy is crossbred or mixed-breed, it can be trickier.
1.2 million puppies born around the world:
Another interesting fact about puppies is that about 1.2 million puppies are born every day, which is a lot more than the 360,000 kids that are born every day. That’s about three times as many puppies as people!
