Birnur X Duman Puppies 1 Week Old

The Eleven:

* How do we tell them apart?  Look at their distinctive belly markings below and you will see!
* All puppies are doing well nursing from mother, with no need for any supplemental feedings.
* They are healthy, active, and feel plump and well-fed.
* Eyes and ears should open soon between day 10 and 14.
* Puppies cannot regulate their body temperature until they are 2 weeks old.
* They are contained in a whelping box in an open (3-sided) shelter adjacent to the goat pasture and feeding area.  A heat lamp is provided, turned off now during the daytimes when it gets too warm.
