"Okay, so we know we're taking care of a very tiny puppy that's only about twelve days old. And I have one here, to show you the difference in how they grow. As you saw the previous puppy really could not walk. She was not even crawling yet. They don't start to do that until three to four weeks of age, actually after three weeks. This one you can see is doing great and totally is agile and is able to maneuver well and we're going to also look at the teeth. The puppy that we previously had, had no teeth. She was still nursing. She didn't have any baby teeth coming in. But this puppy, if we look, we're going to notice, hi baby, okay we're going to check in here, come on open your mouth you silly thing. And this puppy has even molars. These are all little baby teeth. They are much smaller and narrower than adult dog teeth. So this puppy, puppies get all of their baby teeth in by eight weeks of age, so this puppy we know is at least eight weeks of age."
