Why do dogs bury their puppies? General Dog Discussions
Our dog just had puppies 2 weeks ago. Occasionally I see her taking a pup in her mouth,going across the yard,and laying the pup in a hole. Usually she will then pick the pup in her mouth and take it back to the doghouse. When I saw her carrying the pup in her mouth,I assumed she was trying to expose the pup to the outside world,but I didn't understand why she would try to "bury" it.
