12 Days Old

If you notice moms are wet on their backside is because for a couple of weeks they have discharge and I need to clean them a few times a day. I take a blower and take out any excess water but do not dry them completely. They need to get back to their pups and an extended drying at this time only creates stress for them.
I also do not wash them completely till about 3 weeks after they have had pups. Thi sis the timeframe when they can be away for as long as it takes me to wash and dry them. Over the years I have learned this works. I do brush them out daily.
The pups are doing well. The back and white has brown bleeding through on the back so not true black and white.
Sometimes they fuss as they are too warm so we have a temperature guage to know if the heatlamps should be on or off. We also regulate it with a closed or open door to this room.
Soon their eyes will be open and the fun will begin.
I upload videos here as I can. Each day we have new ones.

Oh what adorable little ones! They are growing beautifully. Is the black and white you’re referring to the female spotted black and white that was born October 9th? That means she is a tri then right?
Yes, she is 3 coulours but not your traditional tri as she doesn't have the colour under the tail or maybe she does. I have to look. The one I am referring to is the one that looked black and white of Cinnamon. 1st born.
No colour under the tail. Maybe that black is going to go all brown. Time will tell.
Darlah I am learning so much from you. These updates are amazing. With all you are doing looking after the moms and puppies and all the updates, photos and galleries, it is just incredible. Thanks so much!
