🌸 New Babies at Habibi Bears: Springtime Joy in Our Nursery
Published: April 2025
Spring Has Arrived — And So Have Our Puppies!
We hope that wherever you are, spring is blooming in your world and filling your days with sunshine and joy. Here at Habibi Bears, we have something extra special to celebrate — Marigold, one of our cherished mamas, welcomed a surprise litter of six precious baby girls last week! Followed by Bella, Pansy & Violet, and Ruby!
This beautiful group of little ones are officially our Dahlia Litters — and we’re absolutely in love. Each season brings new life, and these puppies are the perfect reminder of the magic and renewal that spring represents.
🐾 A Legacy of Love (Over 30 Years in the Making)
Did you know we’ve had the joy of raising thousands of puppies over our 30-year journey? Watching newborns grow from blind, snuggling bundles into confident, social companions is what keeps our hearts full. And while it may look like work from the outside, it truly feels like a calling.
We pour our heart and soul into every litter, ensuring they’re not only adorable — but also emotionally prepared for the lifelong bonds they’ll share with their future families.
🧠 Puppyhood Is a Journey — Let’s Talk Development
It’s so easy to forget that a puppy who looks like a miniature dog is actually still very much a baby.
That’s why we love to educate our families about puppy development — because with the right expectations, you’ll enjoy the journey so much more.
Here are a few facts to keep in mind:
-
Neurological Development Puppies continue developing mentally until 18+ months for larger breeds. While they reach ~90% capacity by 4–6 months, full brain development takes a full year more!
-
Social Development Habibi Bears develop socially until around 12 months (mini sizes), and up to 15 months (moyenne sizes).
-
Physical Development Smaller pups finish growing physically around 8–12 months, while medium-sized pups may take up to 15 months.
And don’t forget: their gestational period is only 58–68 days. When your puppy comes home, they’ve barely had time to figure out the world. Be gentle. Be patient. They’re learning every day.
👶 They’re Babies — Not Mini Adults
They may walk, bark, and play like grown dogs, but your puppy is still learning:
-
How to control their little bodies
-
How to respond to human cues
-
How to self-regulate emotions
-
How to feel safe in a whole new world
Every “mistake” is really just a moment of growth. When we shift our mindset and see our puppies as developing beings rather than finished products, the magic of the bond begins to bloom.
