Boxer Breeding and Whelping – Part 11 – Shugga’s 1st Litter – Through Week 5
okay well it’s feeding time again we’ve
got a tray of some puppy food this was
three cups dry and then we’re taking it
over here through the kennel mouth I’m
gonna apologize the supplies but why
should I do that
puppy food water public food no it is
what it is
it happens we try to manage it that’s
that so we got puppy poo everywhere we
watch this kennel this morning and watch
it three or four times a day but eight
puppies
lots of poo you’ll notice lots of –
outside we go inside you won’t see much
they have learned very quickly yeah they
come and they’ve all got that got the
doggy door pretty well down pat and they
know what time it is
I like the only have to do is hear my
voice and then out they come so as soon
as they get through this meal well
everything that cleaned up again and
we’ll get it going as far as flies go
look just depends on where you live it’s
not these Texas especially after
hurricane Harvey you see them all take a
little little wee there when they come
out
hurricane Harvey lots of water lots of
by waste around this kennel implies the
problem we use fly traps those means we
can reasonably support you’ll see the
puppies are pretty happy when they get
their food and they’ll meander a little
bit and go to the bathroom and things
before they eat sometimes but they’re
doing good everybody’s healthy wealthy
and wise you’ll do notice two peas a
little loose and tell you some buff
apiece puppies you measure their health
by their waist if it’s loose there’s
potentially some critters in their
intestines and so that’s what we have to
look at and work at they did get their
four week worming and still had some
pretty loose stool so they’re now on a
short course eval bond to make sure they
don’t get what’s called coccidia
we had their fecal tested and there was
no no bug expect it’s a bit preventative
and it’s helping they’re not nearly as
loose as they were and like I said
everybody’s thriving everybody’s eating
everybody’s gaining weight so we were
good so I’ll get back to you all just to
say this is started week five first day
into week five let me show you inside
the kennel real quick while there’s even
one of them decide she was done came in
but uh in this kennel the puppy pad that
we take down the kennel that’s hard to
clean but it is dry and there’s no piles
what you mostly see is they’re not real
selective about where they walk so they
walk into their kennel and you’re gonna
find I’m not a clean not a clean puppy
pad but you will find that there’s no
repeat in here it’s just a matter of a
little trader footprints coming from the
files outside so they’re pretty much
kennel trained now as far as not really
wanting to go in there a little confined
space cuz they know this is where they
lay lay down so momma here is talking to
one of their babies babies talking right
back so anyway we continue along the
heading over there hey mister what’s she
doing
so yeah they were pretty much finished
eating now and now they’re meandering
their way into their house you stop that
girl got a dog back here talking to me
so they’re meandering the way back in
their house let’s talk a little bit
about mama I mama’s doing good me Becca
what I was doing good
she’s in good shape she’s quit producing
milk she’s still in the process of
drying up or what we called ninnies are
definitely shrinking in the
attractiveness yeah so she’s she’s in a
good spot as far as it goes puppies
pretty much have interest in food food
alone they love their mama and they like
spend time with their mama
nursing’s not really great hound there’s
no fella no fella no monkey anyway so
mama’s doing good now Mama’s diet she
was back to her regular diet we are
giving her more volume then would be
normal but the food that she gets is her
normal diet just a little bit more
volume as she finishes drying up her
weights good not worried about her
weight she looks good she’s not then no
rehab snow spine she’s in good shape
it’s pretty much the perfect shape for a
boxer most of our girls don’t represent
the perfect shape they represent and a
little bit heavy well let’s go clean
this kennel get it cleaned up all right
well the puppies ate the biggest part of
their cups that’s 3 cups dry once it’s
swollen when it’s several times that
volume so their bellies are full they of
their own accord went inside lay down
for them and look I want to apologize
for these flies but just can’t the state
of all ago this word in her hurricane
Harvey relief area we got 46 inches of
rain for days and everything is soaking
wet the fact that we haven’t have
puppies through it know just is what it
is you learn to deal we’re good at power
washer what used to wash this off with
we wash it off between at least four
times a day sometimes more than that
which also creates water to see the
water here water’s not running down here
very quickly so regretfully it is it’s
just a pro high prone for time for flies
at this point but we’re doing all we can
in fly traps in place kitchen pretty
much trillions of flies and sadly we’re
rearing gazillions of flies so we’re
doing we can luckily the dog doors
pretty much
sealed and inside the puppet kennel it’s
quite quite dry and comfortable it’s 74
degrees and you can see the bigger they
don’t water beautiful baby boxers right
there which is where they spend most of
their day but I’m so glad that they like
a glass side and use the bathroom so now
we’re gonna we’re gonna home some pretty
smart little puppies when the time comes
for those that are willing to confine
their puppies they’ll have it it’s
pretty decent to produce a life if they
take their puppy from the Kindle it’s a
pad or kennel to outside they’ll be all
right now
all right well week five all’s going
well fingers crossed
