Congrats and good luck!
Our Lexie had a littler of 7 on 07-17-07. They are 11 weeks old and are going to their forever homes. We have 2 males left. Just realize that big litters just mean more work. I was home for the summer when they were born so I was very lucky. Lexie free whelped all 7 with no trouble, we were very lucky. She cared for them all herself, but at 3 1/2 weeks I started to help her because she always looked so tired, even with all the extra food I was giving her. All the puppies are wonderful and were from 2.25 to 3 pounds when they had their shots at 9 weeks. Oh, this was Lexie's 3rd litter, she had 6 with the other 2!!
If you need any help or have any questions about large litters, please feel free to PM me. Again, good luck. You will be in my thoughts and prayers!!! |
