Question: do moms miss their puppies?
Answer: In my experience, as long as the puppies are 7 or 8 weeks old the mother seems to be relieved to have regained her freedom from motherhood. ... The newly adopted puppies are more likely to be lonely. But will probably miss it's litter-mates as much, if not more than it's mother (as long as it is 7 or 8 weeks old).
