Originally Answered: Do dogs feel sad if you give their puppies away for adoption? No, not really. They are more than glad not to have the puppies wanting to nurse after the time of weaning. The female actually gets irritated and will snap at the pups at about 9 weeks.

Timely separation is important for the puppies, but what of their mothers? Many owners of mom dogs have reported that their dog did not seem especially sad to see her pups go.

When the pups are around eight weeks old, their mother has significantly decreased the amount of time she spends with them.
