Puppies at birth
Puppy's growth period
The puppy has four primitive reflexes
At birth, the nervous system of the puppy is still developing; nevertheless, it already has a certain number of reflexes enabling it to survive, the so-called "primary reflexes":
Hence, the importance of ensuring that the whelping area is placed in a warm room.
A temperature of at least 82 degrees within the environment of the puppies is necessary during the first week.
The easiest way of checking the temperature is to place a thermometer in the whelping box.
Temperature can then be progressively brought down to 75° during the fourth week.
Puppies are born deaf and blind
The puppy is born with his eyes firmly closed.
He is also deaf. Having said that, his tactile sensations are well developed.
Through touch, he will manage to find his mother's teats for suckling. Once in contact, he becomes appeased.
Neonatal Period: Birth to Two Weeks From birth, puppies are able to use their sense of smell and touch, which helps them root about the nest to find their mother's scent-marked breasts. The first milk the mother produces, called colostrum, is rich in antibodies that provide passive immunity and help protect the babies from disease during these early weeks of life.
For the first two weeks of life, puppies sleep nearly 90 percent of the time, spending their awake time nursing. All their energy is funneled into growing, and birth weight doubles the first week. Newborns aren't able to support their weight, and crawl about with paddling motions of their front legs. The limited locomotion provides the exercise that develops muscles and coordination, and soon the puppies are crawling over and around each other and their mother.
Transitional Period: Week Two-to-FourThe second week of life brings great changes for the puppy. Ears and eyes sealed since birth begin to open during this period, ears at about two weeks and eyelids between ten to 16 days. This gives the furry babies a new sense of their world. They learn what their mother and other dogs look and sound like, and begin to expand their own vocabulary from grunts and mews to yelps, whines and barks. Puppies generally stand by day 15 and take their first wobbly walk by day 21.
By age three weeks, puppy development advances from the neonatal period to the transitional period. This is a time of rapid physical and sensory development, during which the puppies go from total dependence on Mom to a bit of independence. They begin to play with their littermates, learn about their environment and canine society, and begin sampling food from Mom's bowl. Puppy teeth begin to erupt until all the baby teeth are in by about five to six weeks of age. Puppies can control their need to potty by this age, and begin moving away from sleeping quarters to eliminate.
Socialization Period: Week Four-to-Twelve Following the transitional phase, puppies enter the socialization period at the end of the third week of life; it lasts until about week ten. It is during this socialization period that interaction with others increases, and puppies form attachments they will remember the rest of their life. The most critical period--age six to eight weeks--is when puppies most easily learn to accept others as a part of their family. Refer to the article on how to socialize puppies.
Beginning at four weeks of age, the bitch's milk production begins to slow down just as the puppies' energy needs increase. As the mother dog slowly weans her babies from nursing, they begin sampling solid food in earnest.
The environmental stimulation impacts your puppy's rate of mental development during this time. The puppy brain waves look that of an adult dog by about the 50th day, but he's not yet programmed--that's your job, and the job of his mom and siblings. Weaning typically is complete by week eight.
Week Eight-to-Twelve Puppies often go through a "fear period" during this time. Instead of meeting new or familiar people and objects with curiosity, they react with fearfulness. Anything that frightens them at this age may have a lasting impact so take care that the baby isn't overstimulated with too many changes or challenges at one time. That doesn't mean your pup will grow up to be a scaredy-cat; it's simply a normal part of development where pups learn to be more cautious. Careful socialization during this period helps counter fear reactions.
Puppies may be placed in new homes once they are eating well on their own. However, they will be better adjusted and make better pets by staying and interacting with littermates and the Mom-dog until they are at least seven weeks old. Interacting with siblings and Mom help teach bite inhibition, how to understand and react to normal canine communication, and their place in doggy society. Puppies tend to make transitions from one environment to another more easily at this age, too.
Your puppy still has lots of growing to do. He won't be considered an adult until he goes through several more developmental periods and reaches one to two years of age.
At birth, the nervous system of the puppy is still developing; nevertheless, it already has a certain number of reflexes enabling it to survive, the so-called "primary reflexes":
- The burrowing reflex makes him search for the warm parts of his mother's body to snuggle up to it
- The suckling reflex enables him to suckle
- The perineal reflex activates the elimination of urine and stools - the mother stimulates this reflex by vigorously licking her puppies on their belly and under their tail
- The carrying reflex encourages him to stiffen when grabbed at the neck.
Hence, the importance of ensuring that the whelping area is placed in a warm room.
A temperature of at least 82 degrees within the environment of the puppies is necessary during the first week.
The easiest way of checking the temperature is to place a thermometer in the whelping box.

PAST PUPPIES
Tom and Micky and there little fella.
Lori and Steve and there little girl.
Every puppy comes with a 2 year guarantee on genetic health disorders. A puppy pack will be supplied to each puppy, blanket that smells like litter-mates and mom, small bag of small breed puppy food to acclimate puppy over to whatever grain free food you choose to feed.
Your new puppies will also come with a health check, first vaccine and worming. They will be pee-pee pad trained and depending on the weather started on outside potty training.
Socialization is very important to me so they will be spoiled rotten before going to their new home. They will be acclimated to sounds in the home including televisions, music, vacuum cleaners & other dogs and children. Puppies are picked up and handled every day from day one.
