Boxer Breeding and Whelping – Part 9 – Shugga’s 1st Litter – Weeks 2 and 3
all right well we’re day ten you see mama looks like she’s making some pretty happy babies they’re all over the place I’ll talk about a few things in this segment this little girl right here Skylar a little girl she’s now spoken for we thought she was going to be and so let’s talk about selling puppies showing puppies let’s talk a little bit about a few things first you’ll notice the 3 foot pool that was in this four foot box is now gone as these little monkey start opening their eyes they become more mobile and round pool in the square box leaves open corners and so I like to take the pool out once once the puppies begin to open eyes because they do get more mobile they do see where they’re going they’re likely to crawl off in a corner by the pool and so I don’t like that now notice Israel around the inside the box is called the piggery and what this does is whenever momma lays down when she lays down against that rail it leaves a space behind her so the puppies don’t so easily get entrapped behind her so yeah we took that out we also went from a heavy blanket for padding cushion to a sheet reason being that without the waste volume goes up momma cleans I’ll use your momma to clean the thin sheet and there’s a Eddy blanket which soaks everything else so also we put down our thick plastic this is like a cafe table covering tight plastic we get it at a local average story Hobby Lobby actually and so what you’ve got is you’ve got the carpeting so I buy I think carpet swatch from local big-box store and then the plastic and then the sheets and then so once the tri-state would come in here we pull the sheet out from under the box we use a cleaner spring cleaner we spray the plastic wife and down paper towels get it nice and clean then we put down the fresh sheet every day so that helps manage them at this stage in their life at least so the other thing I was going to talk about real quick was showing puffs one of the things when you’ve got eight pups and not a one of them looks the same it’s not as simple somebody just saying I want to clap you need to kind of get your pup find your pup discover which one you love and which one loves you back and in pick one in our case that’s can be a bit of a challenging process as we’ve got a pretty good list of people and it’s put them in order so we put them in order button take the contact they contact us 18 time and we begin to show them well guys normally we start showing pups add two weeks old why do you stay wait till they’re two weeks old well pups are always at risk you know Mama’s milk quality a lot of things put puppies at risk of failure that risk of failure is most predominant early in their life in order to get to more likely to succeed and the last thing we want to do is show a puppy that for some odd reason it doesn’t make it through so we hold off to two weeks now in this case our first first interested party has to go out of town work and so we let them coming at 10 days and picked up us and then we’re planning on starting to show this weekend and now we have a tropical storm coming in and people are really anxious to see their products picked up up so we’re gonna start showing them on day ten eleven and a little risky but we’re where the risk we should share the risk with them and they’ll understand I hope but we certainly don’t expect failure but you know – so one thing if you you know just take it deposit on a puppy that but they you know you fall in love with puppies you don’t just put a deposit on a puppy so anyway we’re starting to show puppies one one down seven to go as far as finding them homes we do sell our puppies here mean that we we sell our puppies but we sell our puppies to get good homes we don’t sell our puppies as top price normally lowball a copy and have that puppy end up in a compromised situation there’s also contract involved in buying puppies you have responsibilities on our part from a health perspective also the responsibility on the part of the buyer that they won’t change or tether the dog they only use the dog as a guard dog now there’s a number of things that we do not want our puppies to have to deal with and so we have expectations of the home they go to just like they have expectation status of delivering a quality dog with quality genetics and good health so we’ll move on and continue through the first two weeks of live welcome to week 3 we started Punk the characters [Music] so when you get you think about rainbow it’s about this time obviously guys all of their money loves them back so what’s happened they’re all doing all going well who’s the little girl he’s the smallest of the bunch of killed 13 so mama came too close to the box hardly nobody starts going on water their next meal if you know something about a time machine and don’t please settle with them you’ll notice I’ve got a board clamped across the door and now large enough that you leave this door open they will come right over the edge close this door their mom is checking their mother can get over this little riser so this keeps them in there keep some per moaning about too much so almost goes seven for them now and they’re all gonna get up in there and fight for a spot and you know she gets real quiet real quick and about 15 minutes they’ll all be no drums laying on their back stairs guys so five of these little wonders have homes three more yet to place we’ve got three weeks to place them we send our puppies home at six weeks if all is well so what have we done at two weeks they got their first worming they all get worm with 0.1 mils per pound of puppy and a murmur and then level also it’s a toaster warmer and then here in another week week four they’ll get work began from and we’ll begin the wing across this will start moving the solid food and if they like every other puppet we’ve ever had they’ll take the solid foods real quick unless a solid this we melee they actually take puppy food and we wet it and put it soak for a little bit I’m gonna take a potato masher you basically mash it into a paste and yeah felt dig in so getting week three Mama’s doing great babies are doing great I think mommy’s just about tired of this whole routine when she’s tailing it well she’s got a good job like I said earlier she’s four meals a day nutrition requirements vary based on the litter size based on progress of the litter is beating these guys eat well and so mama knows demands real high so she’s happy to have four meals a day and we’re happy to give him to her she is not that when you stretch looking really good so it looks good the way history she’s good so we’re happy with that anyway we’re moving on I think the next thing we’ll have to talk about pretty much is week four started week four into week three we’ll start put them on solid food and then we’ll begin the weaning process so get back to you all right well we’re two days into week three then we’re going to terminate this video and we’ll start the next video with conversation about the next major transition which is waiting and the configuration of solid foods those things I just want to show you real quick get a decent shot here are things I was looking at really good she generally a good box really has a little bit of a shape right in here there’s some people might consider them but what you don’t see you don’t see spine and you know some real which for a boxer Jennings they’re in good condition and she very good condition she also has been shiny coat getting good good vitamins minerals all those good things over here what we have is a mess of Huttese and all very beautiful little puppies give me your voice and they run about the Box run amok all just healthy wealthy and wise the side of the list for white almonds and then back there in the corner right there that’s I know this girl there Schuyler and every see all the girls are sold and harness of what is sold and you’ve got three other little boys that I get to be sold and so we’re doing good it’s still girl here she’s sold and so we’re good on finding good homes for these pups we still got like I said three weeks before they all need to have a home even in they don’t necessarily need that home but we like to have homes for them well before it’s time to go home go to the homes so we’ll close out this segment covering the first now we did the first week this doesn’t next two weeks and their progress and you can see they’re just little balls of fun in there you can have a great time so mom will finish her meal and mom will jump up in there for her next feeding when they get all around books just like this their chili on their way to hungry really surprised they’re as quiet as they are right now but we’re happy about that what’s the little monkeys plate they’re funny all that the more just look like to climb on each other fighting each other wrestle they’re just building little dog etiquettes all right we’ll talk to you the next one
