Sit with the bitch and put the pup to the teat, if she tries to move hold her still and let the pup have a feed

is it her first litter??

put it on the teet she will either accept it or not bud.

but some pup milk from the vets and a special little bottle and you will have to feed them your self mate about every 2 hours as i had the same problem and after a day or 2 my bitch come round and let them back on the tit again

this is gonna sound disgusting but most dogs reject there young from human scent if you've got some gloves put some on then get one of the sack they were in and dirty the pup up in it this will help mask your smell then put it infront of her to clean. This is what we do with lambs if there rejected we can even do this to introduce a lamb to a foster mum by rubbing it in her after birth/sack. This should work but if not then milk and hand rearing but if your pup doesnt feed with her for the first 6 hours get some collestrum its what the mother produces in the first few hours it boosts there immune systems and helps prevent puppy viruses

you will have your work cut out but wish you the best with the little chap.

i would be tempted to let nature take its course
