Puppies 

 Our puppies are always raised in our house. The first two weeks the puppies are blind and deaf,the only things they do  is drinking by their mother and sleeping. Mother and children are in a whelping box then.

We are weighing all the puppies twice a day the first 3 weeks, to see if they are all growing well. With two weeks they are dewormed for the first time, after that they will be dewormed with 4, 6 and 8 weeks.

When the eyes are open in the 3th week, they are starting to look like real dogs! Also the ears are open now. They will try to walk now, very funny...

In the 4th week they can walk quite well, so we take them out the welping box to get them more space to walk. They will also start playing now. Now it's the time to give them puppy porridge. In the beginning they are very dirty after their dinner, but soon enough they know how to eat properly.

In the 5th week the whelping box is always open and they can walk in the puppy room. We are using papers at the ground. They sleep at  vet/dry beds. They are really playing now, and we will gte them used to strange noises, like the vacuum cleaner and the radio.  They also enjpy all the visitors who come to watch and play with them!

With 6 weeks it's time for the puppy vaccination and when the weather is not o bad they will go sometimes outside. They have almost all their teeths now, so they can eat dry food and all kind of candies. They will play also with our older dogs now, and of course with children, to get them socialised!

We will groom the puppies a little bit with a brush, to get them used to it.  We are cutting the nails and the hairs between the feet soles almost every week now.

The  puppies will be chipped by the Kennelclub between the age of 6 and 9 weeks. Now they all have their own indentification number. When they are 8 weeks old, it's time to go to their new family!
