whelp
Immature canine offspring
A whelp is a young dog, or more broadly, the young of various carnivorous mammals like wolves, lions, or bears.
The verb means to give birth to such young: The dog whelped six puppies.
Applied to humans, whelp is dismissive or insulting—a brat or upstart youth: That insolent whelp needs to learn some manners.
