Mmm in a few days you'll be able to recognize your kids....look at them real careful, look for subtle differances. I've used liquid paper a small drop, hidden so mom doesn't go nuts when she sees it, in different colors to keep them straight. You're right nothing that they or mom can choke on.
Question did you cut Bella down? If her coat is too long the pups can get strangled up in it. It's happened. That's why show people wait to breed a female until she finishes her Championship. |
Yes we did cut Bella down Sunday evening. She had long tummy hair so it made sense. We did it ourseleves and not a job either of us is proud of
I think when I look at them I can tell them apart subtle differences like an itty bitty patch of white, one has more tan than all the others, the girl is obvious, the fat one is now claimed by my bf and nicknamed TANK of all things because of his size compared to brothers and sister.
I heard you can drown a puppy bottle feeding. How do I effectively supplement without harming the pups? I do have syringes and IV tubing, botles, you name it I will get it. I have goats milk already and we have well water here
so I ONLY use bottled water for the family including the animals.
I think you have now answered all my question for tonights phone call!
Thanks again for all your help!
