We just had puppy #11 delivered but it was another still born. We’re having problems with the momma dog and wanted to know if it was alright to keep her seperated from the pups untill feeding time? She is producing milk and the pups are starting to get the hang of feeding but still need our help. Mom acts like a brooding chicken and keeps hording the pups. So far she has squashed 4. I want to keep them apart until feeding and clean up so she cant hurt anymore but not do any social damage. We’re down to 5 out of 11 pups. Mom doesnt care about you handlng them but she has no body awareness, often steping, laying or sitting on them. She dosent keep them all together to keep warm either. We put pups in a box w/ heating pad last niight with a shelf over the top and she sat on top the shelf untill it collasped and then squished 2. This is her first (and last) litter. She cleans them well after feeding. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
Im looking for a resonably priced puppy food, that also is appeiling to him and is healthy for the growth and development of puppies.
he is a german sheperd/husky mix
thanks!
Just to add, I’ve looked a few brands up, and these are a few i think would be good, could i have your opinions on what you think of the food? thanks.
purina puppy chow
Pro pran chicken and rice puppy
Eukanuba Lamb & rice puppy formula
thanks!
which out of these two breeds would be best for someone with a dog allergy?
Many sites state that Basenji’s are fine for allergic people but then the kennle club (uk) site says that it’s not suitable for people with allergies
the portuguese water dog is good for people with allergies though and there is no site anywhere that says anything other than that it’s fine for people with allergies even though it does shed a bit like all animals with fur do.
so do Basenjis shed more than PWDs?
