I would also be concerned that your Moms have access to each other and/or puppies. You could have a terrible fight where a Mom or mistakenly a puppy gets injured or killed. It could and does happen! Keep them in separate rooms. |
Deb, I would never mix litters without knowing exactly which pups belonged to which parents. My first AKC inspection I had a mixed litter and they did not seem at all concerned. They did do dna testing on one litter and their parents since it was my first inspection and that turned out just fine. In fact I got complements on how everything was perfect.
At what age to you microchip your pups?
