"Er sieht einen jungen Hund."

Translation: He sees a young dog.

[Michel694811]

"He sees a puppy." Is the same

[LRCFO]

C'mon Duo... a young dog is usually a puppy.... Maybe Duo never had a puppy (:-)))) Let's buy Duo a puppy instead of a Flugzeug

[GSGilbert]

Could you write puppy for jungen Hund or would that need to be kleinen Hund?

[quis_lib_duo]

= Er sieht einen Welpen / jungen Hund.

[Max.Em]

I imagine "junger Hund" to be a bit older than a puppy (Welpe). But I couldn't tell you where the transition is....

[Jim365236]

It worked on a different one. Granted, it was plural, but that shouldn't matter.

[Dex239957]

What's about "He look at a young dog"

[GSGilbert]

That probably requires ansehen (I'm a German learner like you): Er sieht einen jungen Hund an.

[Libor]

Einen hundschen

[SchnellerHund]

I'm curious about the usage between Hundschen, Hündchen, and Welpe. Is it regional, preference, literary/spoken?

[cmburrows1984]

Why, in this single instance is 'ein jungen hund' translated as young dog and not 'puppy'? Please be consistent.
