How do I know if my dog has rejected one of her pups?

Answer #1

She wouldn’t be taking care of it.

Answer #2

She won’t take care of it, sometimes she may even snarl at it or the other pups may even gang up on it. Its the pecking order system. Usually a mother will do that if she knows it would not survive in the wild. The reject may be a runt or have a disformity or seem sickly in some way, you can mother it though.
