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.
It is within the range of normal for a dog to whelp after her 58th day of pregnancy, these three days early are comparable to a human baby being born about 2 weeks early. Thereare minimal health concerns and full expectation that the puppies will grow into strong, wonderful companions if they are born after 58 days.
