So I was just watching some random TV show of a dog trainer working with different dogs and one of the dogs he was working with was a puppy. Then for some reason this question popped in my mind.
When two dogs have sex and end up having puppies, does the male dog know that those are his kids? Obviously the female dog knows because she birthed them and stuff like that, but does the male know? Like with humans we know that sex leads to pregnancy, a woman takes a pregnancy test, tells the father that she is pregnant, etc. But I assume dogs don’t know that sex leads to pregnancy because they don’t have sex ed class or parents having the sex talk with them, and dogs can’t talk so it’s not like the female dog is telling the male that she’s pregnant lol. So how would the male dog know those puppies are his? Does he just not know and think that the puppies are just random other dogs?
I’m aware that this probably sounds like an idiotic question but I’m just not sure and now I’m curious ever since the thought popped into my head
