I was staying with a friend where her dog (Belgian malinois) became pregnant and gave birth the week before covid lockdowns. Let me tell you, it was such a blessing that I was able to be home everyday all day because those puppies needed care ever hour or so, and it was about 20 mins of work. They’d wake up, pee and poop and you gotta clean it up before they get it everywhere. And then the mom got an infection in her nipple, poor thing. But they all came out big and healthy. The hardest part was getting them new homes, it’s so sad letting them go after you spend 2-3 months caring for them.
We got surprised by our blue healer having pups . She did so good so I want to make sure she gets the treatment she needs and her pups too. First thing I did was came here for advice. I came across this channel years ago and liked the training videos and I followed all their puppies progress. So when our dog had puppies first thing I did was came here for good advice and never lets us down. Great information
I like how you emphasize that if you are not doing this full time, the quality of your litter suffers and the life quality of the momma suffers drastically, which is less than ideal! This is super important for a any breeder to consider. Quality care produces quality dogs. ❤️ I also like that you prep the food by the dogs so they experience the home noise. I am glad you made this video to show how breeding is not just about creating cute puppies 🥰
Don't breed . adopt a homeless street dog or a dog from a shelter. This is not cute it's a insult to animal control that has to kill pets bc of overpopulation. Get your pets spay n neutered. There are not enough pet homes n animals are being killed because there is no more space. We cannot adopt our way out of the dog cat overpopulation. Do the animals n world a favor don't breed to kill.
Cabbage works great for mastitis frozen in the freezer you take off a leaf and apply it to the breasts! And do it several times a day!! And antibiotics!! Use Nutra Cal for gaining weight! Use the Royal Canin with goat milk Mush at three weeks! Along with mommies breastmilk and they’ll be nice healthy puppies!!!
Everybody does things differently. I saw a thumbs down, and I hate that when someone is trying to help others, and isn't bat face crazy. I wean my puppies with warm puppy can food and Tomlyn's high calorie puppy paste and move them to dry via soaked kibble - all based on what the individual puppy is ready for. I've added some esbilac in as well too, but the current litter didn't need it. I do I have to say the puppy paste is,,essential to have on hand, those puppies struggling with weight can use that extra boost and it's good from birth through their transition. Especially good for the transition, I've seen 'em drop weight switching, and the paste helps. I'll never have a litter without esbilac POWDER (not the canned, the calories in the premixed can suck), or puppy paste and a number of other goodies.
I love the way you help Piper. She must feel safer with you around. I will not have a litter but i am caring for a breeder’s momma. Down the road she will have a litter under the breeder’s care and i will get a chance to participate.
You're so amazing people and I am loving all the beautiful things you've doing for the puppies... good job.. she is a beautiful mamma bless them and bless her heart..
I know it’s been said a million times but thank you for these videos. We adopted 3 pugs and 2 of the females will be having puppies! We wanted to learn as much as we can and your videos have been so wonderful!
@@narcisacris8525 umm they could have been pregnant when she adopted them? Because adopted dogs are usually spayed unless pregnant so mind your damn business. even if not just mind your business
@@narcisacris8525 the term backyard breeder means someone who breeds dogs in unsanitary and unsafe conditions usually in sheds in the backyard hence the name aslong as you keep the dogs genetics and health and well-being at the main focus that’s all what matters and breed for quality not money
@@StandingStoneKennels i need to learn about dew claws, how they are removed, and more about docking tails. obviously i need to learn alot more than this but this comes to mind right off the bat
I have nine newborn German Shepherd puppies that are now four days old. Some gained a few ounces above the 15 ounce average birth weight and then rebounded back down to birth weight. Some stayed at the same weight as birth weight over those 4 days. They are eating about every 2 hours. They are strong and vigorous. They only cry when hungry and can easily crawl over to feed themselves. In between feeding if they don't cry, they sleep and don't act hungry. We have a light bulb that keeps a small area at 85 degrees thats available when they aren't next to mom. We've checked rectal temps on a couple and the were 97-99 degrees. We have started a small amount of formula, about a tablespoon at a time in between feedings. The small amount is to prevent aspiration. The vet recommended a tiny bit of Karo syrup rubbed onto the tongue occasionally to keep blood sugar ok. We didn't get much information from the vet so far to tell us when we should be worried. How many days can they remain near their birth weight and still be ok? We want them to gain an ounce or two a day but we aren't sure what we need to do differently? I know it's possible they could have worms or something? Mom seems to be making milk. The puppies seem satisfied. We give the mom canned puppy food mixed with a regular dry dog food, a hard-boiled egg every day and some peanut butter for fat. We aren't sure what would require taking them to the vet? We have good vets and they didn't ask to see them yet. I know it's possible that the first few days they might not gain much? But I want to stay on top of everything. Most information I read is that they should gain 1-2 ounces a day after the first 24 hours.
I'm here watching these videos and I'm crying! 😭 I'm going to do everything possible for the mama and the puppies, but dangggggg it's going to be a lot of work... I have 2 amazing Dobies from a. Good line and the trainer said he would help with finding a good home.... I don't want to Lee them all but I'm scared of falling I love with them! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Our Mini cockapoo just entered into the whelping process. This is a first for both Mama & I, many emotions going on! 😌 Thanks for this information, it helped ease my mind.
I wish your videos popped up on my phone a couple of weeks ago, had a nightmare pregnancy, litter of 8 ( plus we think there was more that didn't come out) lost all but 2, I ended up by myself, mum didn't have enough milk for 4 let alone 8, so most froze and starved to death 😔
@@StandingStoneKennels thankyou, it was horrible, it was a 48 hour fight, and I lost them over 4 hours 1 by one, Great Videos! at least I can use them for the 2 that's left.
I love the idea of using different colored markers for weight gain or weight loss (simple but genius!). We will be having our first litter in 2-3 weeks and I’ve been binging your videos! So helpful! We’re having a small litter (2-3 pups pomskies). Thanks for the info!
Who hasn't seen the ASPCA commercials about homeless n abused animals? It exists bc everyone turns a blind eye. Don't breed to abuse n kill. Help with the million Texas street dogs suffering, starving, breeding n dying in the streets. Or rescue street dogs where you live. Don't breed . adopt a homeless street dog or a dog from a shelter. This is not cute it's a insult to animal control that has to kill pets bc of overpopulation. Get your pets spay n neutered. There are not enough pet homes n animals are being killed because there is no more space. We cannot adopt our way out of the dog cat overpopulation.

Abigail (Lhasa Aspo) will be having puppies in Mid June. When we did this over 20 years ago, ignorance was bliss. Watching your videos is so helpful. I would love to get a copy of your whelping chart. Do you make it available?
I have one more question 🙋♀️ since last week the puppies started sucking each other. I know the suction can be quite strong so I’m worrying they can harm each other. Is this dangerous for them? I’ve tried separating them but they cry so I don’t want them to get separation anxiety 😟 Can you please advice the best way? Thanks xx
Damn girl you're good. I mean the immense amount of information you provide in your videos makes me want to remind myself when I start breeding dogs. By any chance, do you all ever cross breed or have considered cross breeding and thought of making videos of that process?
I don’t think they do I’ve heard it can mess up the genes of the mother and she wouldn’t be able to breed full blood puppies again . True or not idk but most people don’t cross breed if they are trying to keep a blood line going.
@@clintrench6850 Nope that is not true. You are correct though, most reputable, responsible, ethical breeders frown upon mixed breeding as their main goal is to improve their breed with each litter, and to produce their next show/working prospect.

To anyone looking to just have a litter, don’t do it. Leave it to vets or if it happens by accident oh well. But don’t put yourself through it if you’re just an every day person
Underrated comment!! I can't stand seeing people breed just because they love their dog and think breeding will continue on some kind of emotional thing for them. Overbreeding is real.
Hello my dog had puppies 4 days ago and she's doing really well.. she's had 3 beautiful puppies but the one puppy is so small very tiny.. they are jack Russell's and I'm worried about the little one.. please can you tell me if I'm doing right please?? I've just started to help feed the little puppy because it's not feeding him properly the other two are bigger than that one... please help me I don't have a vet so could you help me tell me what to do please...I don't have money for vets bills...I didn't know that she was having puppies until i seen her tummy getting bigger...so pleasr what I do please??? Lisa
I'm so sorry you're dealing with that. We aren't vets, so we can't give medical advice, but when a puppy is really small or is losing weight, we supplement with liquid Esbilac formula in a human baby bottle with a more rounded nipple with a newborn milk flow. Something like this is great: amzn.to/4217Eim
Unfortunately there are backyard breedere that are shitty and don't do any of the things that you or any other reputable breeder does, no vet checks, no health testing, no temp checks, no socialization/enrichment/desensitization activities, mamas getting infections/mastitis and passing, them not wanting to buy puppy food or proper food for the mom, barely feeding mama or the puppies, the puppies being sent to irresponsible homes thatll drop them at a shelter as soon as it starts getting harder than they thought it would be, breeding 2 different breeds on purpose, them breeding 2 same breed dogs but with no health testing/no ofa, no temperment testing, so these breeders arent even doing a fraction of the work or spending a fraction of half the money/time a reputable breeder will on their dogs/puppies, and just wanting to breed to make money, not even really caring how healthy or sound they are when they become adults & its sad.
If you spend any amount of money on a dog and then cant take care of it that's your fault why buy a 800 dog and not want to buy food what's wrong with you
Reality is that millions of people don't care about these things because all they think is: "I want a dog." And as soon as they see the cost for a good reputable breeder, they will rush to the next cheapest option. When it comes to getting a dog, the vast majority of people impulse buy puppies.
Thank you, for replying promptly. I was watching your videos over the course of last week. I had a litter on Saturday. I breed and show Bichons. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
Love watching your videos 🥰 so professional! I have a question, my rottie have 10 puppies and they’re 15 days old. Mummy is producing good amount of milk and I’ve noticed that 2 of the puppies threw up some milk after feeding. I’m worried they can overeat so my question is how long should the feeding session be? I can feel full stomachs after 10 minutes, would that be enough? Thanks in advance xx
@@spots8060 jerk…she’s asking dum dum, that’s how most people learn. Maybe she’s trying to get the best info. Why respond without an answer, you live your miserable life on. Negative vibe you have.
@@SuaveCityGear I want to breed in the future, you know what I'm doing? I'm talking to multiple breeders asking questions before I even buy a dog to breed and will be helping whelp a litter and visit the litter afterwards before I even get my dog to breed. I'd bet she didn't even hip or elbow x ray her dogs. Or get a title on them. Why would you defend bad breeding practices, no one should breed before knowing what they're doing, it's not fair to the animals.
Hey, I was wondering how to stop my gap puppy from just sprinting around in the house? He just runs back and forth in the house. I want to know how to teach him he can’t do that
Thanks for watching! In the time period lots more dogs died. This would be the same with people in child birth. Our goal is to help without being excessive.
Sort of ironic, a video about breeding healthly dogs, yet this person is breeding a dog that sounds like its on the verge of experiencing a life thretening condition, so much so that its temperature needs to be taken twice a day., how absurb. You got to ask yourself, is this dog really fit to be bred given the precautions that need to be taken to prevent its demise? Like many things these days, the problems are being caused by those very people purporting to be all about health and safety, you can always spot them by their level of arrogance and pathological air of self righteousness. I have been breeding dogs for 20 years and never had to take mamas temp twice a day, but then again I only breed healthy animals so I dont need to, and all the fools writing comments about the great advice make me want to vomit.
