There have been a few people interested but nothing definite. Can you imagine me on the day they are sold? I'll be a complete mess!

The sheen on their fur is just amazing, I can almost feel it! Just post that washing basket down my way thank you very much!

Thanks Trish, you can gladly have the washing basket but not the contents!! :) The sheen on their coats is from feeding the mother all natural food and none of that @#@# in canned dog food.

Well the puppies are now three weeks old today. I thought I would see if they were ready to start nibbling on a bit of raw meat.Well! They were ready alright! They only had a little bit this morning but tonight I made rissoles for tea and saved some raw mince for them. You should have seen them go for it! They have only just started getting teeth so they sought of sucked on it and they gobbled up every little bit of it! I took a few photos of them today so here they are!!

Fantastic pups !!!

Remember when we had to feed Crickets pups from agte two weeks as she was ill ?? We tried boittlefeeding but it didnt work so they got raw mince mixed with puppy milk. Worked a treat. The puppy milk makes it sloppier and easier to eat. Makes for big healthy pups too. Looks forward to your updates :rofl:

Very true re the raw mince. Our Golden Retriever had 10 pups once and I had so much fun at feeding times! Raw mince and milk (and a little farex when they were really young) worked wonders. They loved it.

 

When they were still being fed by Roxie I had a baby bassinet (the pre-feed basket), in which I would put the 10 puppies I would give her 3 pups at a time, and when they were fed I would put them in a washing basket (the post-feed basket!!) and grab the next 3, then the last "shift" was 4 puppies. (had to keep an eye on which teats I used as well!! )

 

When they were old enough to be supplemented I would feed the 10 one at a time with a dropper and also move them from bassinet to laundry basket.

 

It was a full time job for me, every few hours was feeding time.. in hindsight..... one of the best times of my life!!! :hap:
