A puppy is a juvenile dog. Some puppies may weigh 1–1.5 kg (1–3 lb), while larger ones can weigh up to 7–11 kg (15–23 lb). All healthy puppies grow quickly after birth. A puppy's coat color may change as the puppy grows older, as is commonly seen in breeds such as the Yorkshire Terrier. In vernacular English, puppy refers specifically to young dogs, while pups may be used synonymously for other animals as well. Puppies are highly social animals and spend most of their waking hours interacting with their mother or littermates. They begin to play with their siblings and become much more active during the day.
