There is always a bond between a mom and her pup, just as there are with human's. No matter how old they get, there is still a bennefit of the parents. My mom just lost her chi Chiffon this summer....we had kept one of her pups, and the mother/son were so close that I know Salt would not live 6 months without Chiffon...and I was right....so yes, there is a bond and that bond will always be there no matter how old. I look at dogs much the same way I look at humans.....If a baby is to be placed for adoption, it is best to get the baby into a new home as soon as possible after birth....a toddler is not gonna have an easy a time as an infant, ect.....
