All of our puppies are raised in our home, they have their babies with Tom and I or both of us watching over them and or helping them if they need it. After they are all born they are then put in a puppy play pen with lots of blankets and a warming pad. Tom or I watch over them very closely for the first 72 hrs to make sure that they are doing ok feeding off of their momma and that their body temperature is just right. If everything is going good we can take a brake and know that momma is doing her job. At this time we do not allow anyone near them for at least two to three weeks but Tom and I. In that 72 hrs that we are monitoring them, if they are not feeding enough they are bottle fed with goat milk and momma is given yogurt, then we weigh them everyday to make sure that they are gaining weight and is healthy.
