There were no problems with the whelping. Hazel has great instints and is very attentive. The puppies mostly eat and sleep.
Early Neurological Stimulation has begun. Each puppy gains about 1oz per day. We love the dark red color of this litter!
A few of the puppies have started to open their eyes. We perform Early Neurological Stimulation everyday. Hazel is keeping all the puppies fat and happy.
All eyes are open and the pups are getting around on all fours. Their personalities are starting to come through as they interact and explore their suroundings with improved eyesight and mobility.
Weaning has started. Some of the pups are begining to lap up a little Espilac on their own. They are getting more vocal with lots of little barks and growls as they play fight. The puppies have had several interactions with different types of people and the puppies enjoy it.
The puppies are starting to chow down on canned puppy food. They love to interact with people and play outside when it's warm enough.
The puppies love exploring outside their pen and playing with visitors. They still nurse a bit when they can but the majority of their food is puppy food.
