Looks like a strong bitch. They all do, but that black one would be my pick.

Really nice litter this, be nice to see them when there all 18months old. Hopefully they all go to decent lads and get good reports back on them

 

 

Let's hope you have a little better luck than you've had over the last few years with the dogs

Nice pups and the bitch has done well, I'd personally be getting them away from her now.

[Ross M 149]

Why?

[mackay 3,400]

Why?

Quite simple, for the bitches benefit.

If they're eating as well as D Loyd says then they don't need to be pulling the bitch down, they don't need to be on her now.

They are only four weeks old they will need the milk off the bitch for a bit yet ......

[Ross M 149]

Yeah at 4 weeks old? Each to their own

[D Lloyd 2,790]

they will stay with the bitch as long as i think she is fine about 5 weeks or so she is not having any probs looking after them if she gets fed up with them ill pull her out and continy with lactol and lots of good food

The bitch will tell you when it's time.a high bed can help her get out the way if she need to

What age do you take pups away from their mother then?.

[lurcherman 887 13,250]

4-5 weeks ?

Personally, I never take the bitch away from the pups if she wants to be with them and continue to let them suckle. They are no way ready to be deprived of maternal care at 4 weeks, even though they may be eating well. The bitch, if she is a good mother, will continue to clean them up, play with them, and teach them manners. I've seen plenty of litters where the bitch has been forcibly removed from the pups at 4 weeks, and even though the pups will grow up well, given the correct care by their owners, they seem to have a slightly lost look about them, and are seldom as clean as they should be. I can't see why anyone would deliberately deprive their pups of maternal care if the bitch wants to be with her pups.
