Cute Baby Puppy In The Flower Garden And Looking Around Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Puppies are baby dogs, it's that simple. But how long does it take for a puppy to become a dog? Well, tiny breeds like Chihuahuas and Yorkshire terriers are considered full grown dogs at about 10 months old. Medium size pure breeds like Springer spaniels are puppies for about a year. Large dogs like German shepherds take about 15 months to fully mature, and some giant breeds like Mastiffs don't stop growing till they are nearly 2 years old. Mother dogs are pregnant for between 58 and 68 days, and puppies are born in litters of just 2 to as many as 16.
