Puppies just nurse and sleep their first 3 weeks. At 4 weeks, they are running about playing with each other. At 5 weeks, they begin exploring their world.

At 7 weeks, they start to get feisty …even with their human. They start to get ‘nice’ again around 14 weeks.

The three weeks 4 – 6 are when puppies are at their cutest, whether playing or sleeping. This is the 4-1/2 week old Jazz x Pete litter [2M/2F] crashed on the dog sofa after a morning of activity (and being picked on by older pups) while I prepare their breakfast. They sleep lying down AND upright when they are that tired.
