It is normal for dogs to be protective of their pups, and generally when the puppies are a little older, the mother dog’s protective behavior is not as strong. Because puppies still need the care of the mother dog, so do not separate the pups from the mother dog unless there are special circumstances. When it is necessary to separate the mother and the pup, the owner needs to pay attention to not to carry the pup in front of the mother, but to take the mother to the side and then carry the pup to avoid a sudden attack by the mother.
