    She may sense it has a problem and may not make it. If it isn't going to, the rest of the litter is better off if she does put it out.

    Might I ask how much research have you done on breeding? Responsible people do exhaustive research before even selecting breeding stock.

    I merged your questions into one thread. I have little more to add. You might as well do a net search. Much of the advice on the net is of doubtful quality, but you may be as qualified to evaluate what you find as many here.

    Please be patient, we do this for free on our own spare time. Our Dog Experts may be taking some time off for the holidays to spend with their families. I am sure when Labman or Rubypitbull signs on they will answer you as soon as they read your post.

    Oops! Merging these questions was a mistake. Oh well. Mother dogs move puppies when they don't like the current location. They often want more privacy. They may also want more space to keep the nest clean.

    I'm going to agree with labman on this too. Especially if she's a first time mom, she may just be a little confused with everything. With the puppies getting a little bigger, she may just be trying to find a spot that's a little more "roomy" or quieter. The dog I had moved her puppies quite a few times before she found the right spot.
    But do some research and just keep an eye on them. You could always talk to your vet about it too.

    The mom is doing this most likely because you took the puppy and started bottle feeding it.
    As I said in your previous post... doing this may cause the mother to not take care of the puppy because the puppy is getting care from you. She may not see it as part of her litter.

    Hi
    If the mom takes it out let it be this way, nature knows best, just try feeding it yourself, most often with care, the ruts can become the most affectionate and loyal, it is worth the trouble
    Take care and all the best
