if you are going to let them to continue to nurse, just remember NO vaccines until the puppies are completly wean off , and then you should wait at least 2 weeks for the vaccines, or the vaccines can fight against the mother's milk inmunities., this is why I wean by 7 weeks and start vaccines at 9 weeks, my litter just got their first vaccines at 9 weeks, that way i can watch for reactions and other posible problems while the babies are still here, then they get their 12 week vaccine right before they go home and the new parents are responsible for the 14- weeks final booster and the rabies at a year old.
