Kelpies as a stud,

I have only had 1 litter but we put a small bowl of milkey cereal in the run when the pups were about 3 weeks old & upped the amount slowly, to start they seemed to get more on there coat than they would eat but as they got older it did help the bitch.

I do t see the point in weaning on cereal ... start them on some warm mince or liquidised meat ... having it warm is key as it would be warm when the bitch regurgitates it ......

it will be all meat derived food when i start,my greyhound training mate told me there are jars of baby food in the markets also that is very benefictial to the pups ,but mostly blended chicken/tripe and scraped beef,

You want to start offering them puppy milk like lactol on its own from 3 weeks old 3 times a day and within a few days they will be lapping up bowls of it when they get the hang of which will take a lot of strain off the bitch, then from 4 weeks I start soaking Farley’s baby rusks in the puppy milk to start firming it up a bit, do that for a few days then when there getting  towards 5 weeks soak a quality puppy biscuit in warm water till it goes mushy then add some warm puppy milk to it and they should start scranning that easily, do that for a few days then stop adding the milk to it just giving the well soaked  puppy biscuits then you can start adding meat or whatever to the biscuits and your away. Works for me anyway

Or just do what socks says and feed them meat liquidised which is far better for them than rusks and biscuits .. this is what I done and pups turned out crackers

Can see that them pots of stew are having a positive effect on the pups. . Love the sight of fat healthy pups.

You could close your eyes picking a pup from most infact 90% of Any first x That’s  if there breed right the rest is just luck
