🐶 ¿Por qué es tan importante dejar a los cachorros con su madre hasta los 3 meses? 🐾

Muchos aún piensan que a las 6, 7 u 8 semanas ya es “normal” entregar un cachorro. Pero lo que pocos entienden es que las primeras 12 semanas de vida marcan el futuro emocional, social y mental de un perro.
Y en ese tiempo, la madre juega un papel insustituible.

A los ojos del ignorante, la madre “solo da leche”. Pero en realidad, ella educa, corrige, protege y enseña.

📌 ¿Qué les enseña la madre en ese tiempo clave?

🔹 Control de la mordida:
Cuando el cachorro muerde muy fuerte, es la madre quien lo corrige. Si se va demasiado lejos jugando, es ella quien pone límites. Así aprenden lo que muchos perros adultos mal socializados nunca aprendieron.

🔹 Comunicación y jerarquía:
La madre impone orden en la camada. Enseña el respeto, el espacio, y la forma de relacionarse con otros perros.
El cachorro no solo mama. Observa, copia, imita. Aprende el idioma canino directamente de su fuente natural.

🔹 Autorregulación emocional:
Los cachorros que se van antes de tiempo tienen más tendencia a la ansiedad por separación, miedo, inseguridad, reactividad y desconfianza.
¿Por qué? Porque no completaron la etapa más segura de su vida: la cercanía con su madre.

🔹 Socialización natural:
En una camada equilibrada, los cachorros no solo interactúan entre ellos, sino que la madre interviene en las dinámicas. Ella permite o bloquea ciertos comportamientos. Los guía con autoridad natural, algo que ni el mejor humano del mundo puede imitar con la misma efectividad.

🧠 ¿Y por qué hasta los 3 meses?

Porque el destete real ocurre entre la 6ª y 8ª semana, pero la educación continúa hasta la semana 12, que es justo cuando termina la etapa de socialización primaria.

Sacarlo antes de tiempo no solo lo priva de la leche.
Lo priva de la base emocional más importante de su vida.

No, no es que el cachorro “ya come solo” o “ya está bonito para la foto”.
Es que no está listo emocionalmente para enfrentarse al mundo solo.

¿Quieres un perro equilibrado, seguro, con buen carácter y fácil de moldear?
Dale el tiempo que necesita con su madre.
Lo que ella le enseña en 3 meses, no se lo enseña nadie más en toda su vida.🐶 Why is it so important to leave puppies with their mother until they are 3 months old? 🐾

Many still think that at 6, 7, or 8 weeks it's "normal" to give up a puppy. But what few understand is that the first 12 weeks of life mark a dog's emotional, social, and mental future.
And during that time, the mother plays an irreplaceable role.

In the eyes of the ignorant, the mother "only gives milk." But in reality, she educates, corrects, protects, and teaches.

📌 What does the mother teach them during this crucial time?

🔹 Bite control:
When the puppy bites too hard, it's the mother who corrects it. If it goes too far while playing, it's she who sets limits. This is how they learn what many poorly socialized adult dogs never learned.

🔹 Communication and hierarchy:
The mother imposes order in the litter. It teaches respect, space, and how to relate to other dogs.
The puppy doesn't just suckle. It observes, copies, imitates. It learns canine language directly from its natural source.

🔹 Emotional Self-Regulation:
Puppies who leave early are more prone to separation anxiety, fear, insecurity, reactivity, and mistrust.
Why? Because they haven't completed the safest stage of their lives: closeness with their mother.

🔹 Natural Socialization:
In a balanced litter, puppies not only interact with each other, but the mother also intervenes in the dynamics. She allows or blocks certain behaviors. She guides them with natural authority, something that not even the best human in the world can imitate as effectively.

🧠 And why until 3 months?

Because actual weaning occurs between the 6th and 8th week, but training continues until the 12th week, which is exactly when the primary socialization stage ends.

Removing your puppy early doesn't just deprive him of milk.
It deprives him of the most important emotional foundation in his life.

No, it's not that the puppy "is already eating alone" or "is already pretty for the photo."
It's that he's not emotionally ready to face the world alone.

Do you want a balanced, confident, good-natured, and easy-to-train dog?
Give him the time he needs with his mother.
What she teaches him in 3 months, no one else will teach him his entire life.

Congratulations on the new sis, Winnie! 🐾

This past weekend, Winnie welcomed JoJo into her home. Winnie now shares her toys, her bed, and her humans with JoJo, and unsurprisingly, they have both adapted very well to each other ❤️ JoJo has found her forever family, and Winnie now has someone to match her endless energy (maybe her older brother can catch a break now 😅). We are so happy that Winnie and JoJo get to be together from here on, and we know that their family will keep them healthy and happy, while being showered in love themselves🥰

Claudia and Thor’s sons, Dash, Koda, and Olaf are ready for their new homes!

These three playful boys are ready to tackle on a new adventure. Not afraid of anything (but their sister JoJo), they excitedly run into new situations and love to meet new people.

They are looking for a family to love them and play with them nonstop, and promise to love their new family back just as much, and to make sure their lives are never boring 😉

Blue is looking for a loving home to become a part of ❤️

Blue is an extremely energetic and happy little guy, who needs a family that can keep him engaged and active.

Most of all, he is a very loving puppy, and all he wants is to kiss your worries away while sitting on your lap…it also helps if you just ate pizza or steak 😅

We would love to talk more about him and maybe invite you over to meet this great little guy 😁 Please follow us on Facebook, and send us a message!

Someone is very fast, even in his sleep! Yes, that is Dash, who hasn’t slowed down since day 1. Poor JoJo, she is paying the price for her brother’s racing dreams 😅

Another puppy is where she belongs ❤️

Josie (aka Purple), joined her new family this last weekend. Josie, one of our sweetest girls, is too cute to be true 🥰 and now, she shares all that cuteness with her new mom and new sister. Already, both girls share walks, playtime, naps, and even toys. We know they will share a lifetime together, brightening their wonderful mom’s life every day. And as a plus, Josie’s mom and Winnie’s mom are friends, that means there will be some sister play dates in the future! So excited for that 😁
