    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

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

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

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

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

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