Mamma was taking a well-deserved break. With eight hungry mouths to feed, all she gets done is nurse. They're docked before they are five days of age. Any later, and the nerves are too sensitive. I had their dewclaws removed and tails docked all at the same time.

have you raised and sold other litters before? Yep. Two litters from her, plus puppies from other females that our male has bred in exchange for breeding fees. This is her 2nd and last litter. She'll be fixed as soon as she's able to. She's a small-framed dog, and this litter took it's toll on her. Her 1st litter was 4 pups-this one was 8. Her belly durn near dragged the ground. I won't put her through it again-she was too miserable. Too many owners have bred a litter every year from thwe same female, and their dogs have suffered health problems as a result.
