Puppies are considered gentle because they are small and weak. But as they grow, they become stronger, have sharp nails and teeth and become little ferocious animals, as is appropriate for their species. Puppies romp, claw, chew and fight with one another and their parents to prepare them for their adult lives. Only yesterday I went to visit two such wonders. They are 14 week old Boston Terrier puppies. I had forgotten how enthusiastically Boston Terrier pups and their elders greet new visitors. I should have been more careful, but as I adore dogs and especially puppies, as most people do, I was on the floor playing with the little darlings. By the time I left, my face was clawed and nipped to the tune of several pretty impressive wounds that left me bleeding. I mopped up as best as I could, but the wounds still did not curb my own enthusiasm for cuddling and playing with the captivating little devils. Tomorrow I will be bringing one of them home with me and I look forward to the introduction of my new little girl to my 12 year old Yellow Lab mix lady and my Evil Kitty (who loves waiting in hiding for my dog--you get the idea). It will be an interesting several months ahead of us, but I will be having an exceptionally good Christmas this year with my new baby girl.

Puppies may exhibit gentle behavior due to their inherent nature to play and interact with others, including humans. They learn to control the strength of their bites and movements through socialization and training from their mother and littermates. Additionally, gentle behavior in puppies can be influenced by their individual temperament and experiences during early development.

Puppies have soft fur, because once they are born, they have not fully developed their bodes yet, leading to weaker fur and skin.
