Puppies are young dogs, typically under one year old. They are known for their playful behavior, curiosity, and rapid growth. Puppies are born blind and deaf, relying on their mother for warmth and nourishment. As they grow, they begin to explore their surroundings and develop social skills through interaction with their littermates and humans. Puppies come in various breeds, each with unique characteristics and temperaments. Common breeds include Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, and Beagles. Proper training and socialization are essential for puppies to become well-adjusted adult dogs. Regular veterinary care, including vaccinations, is also important for their health.
