That is a great size litter!!
Thank you for your input. I am aware of all that. The puppies are doing great, I go check on them about every 30 minutes. They are in our spare bedroom with mom and on a heating pad. This mom usually has a ton of milk so I may not have to supplement at all but I was just more curious as to what others have done in the past with large litters. I have had litters in the past with 6 pups but this is my first 7 pup litter. I am just looking forward to getting some sleep tonight.
