Puppies generally stand by day 15 and take their first wobbly walk by day 21. By age three weeks, puppy development advances from the neonatal period to the transitional period. This is a time of rapid physical and sensory development, during which the puppies go from total dependence on Mom to a bit of independence.
The birthing process of a dog varies from dog to dog, depending on the amout of puppies she is birthing. She may rest for up to a hour between each puppy. The first stage of labour can last up to 4 hours before the water breaks and the first puppy is expelled.
