Congratulations!! i know what you are doing right now...our litter of 7 is 12 weeks old and we had such fun raising them. I agree that the Mom should get the extra feedings, and I did that for Lexie for the whole time she nursed the puppies. Our Lexie also free whelped all 7 and she looked so tired all the time, but nursed all 7 for the first 4 weeks before I started to supplement the babies. They were weaned at 5 weeks, which is the earliest one of my litters have been weaned, but we have all healthy puppies that are now going to forever home as we speak. I hope you are ready for the work of this big litter. I was at home the first 4 weeks, but then went back to work, and I found it very hard to give them the attention they need and get the required sleep, but I made it through. If you need anything, or have a question/concern that I can help with, please email me
