Soapbox Time – All Dogs Come From Breeders
Written by: Matt Townsend

All dogs come from breeders. Dogs don’t come from shelters, pet adoption websites, newspaper ads, or surprised next-door neighbors. Puppies arrive in this world because a person planned – or didn’t plan – for the production/prevention of a litter of puppies. The amount of planning and responsibility varies wildly, but a human is behind every puppy that comes into the world. Please think about it. Read more: http://caninechronicle.com/?p=239498

Plastic measuring spoons on a plastic ring is a favorite toy. Today we got sets to send home with each of the pups. We have given them toys to play with and take home with them so they will have familiar items in their new homes.

Puppies are busy munching on raw chicken wings on the patio, enjoying the sunny day. They had raw carrot chunks earlier. All good for baby teeth.

We have started crate training by giving pups a small crate with the door off. It is too tall for pups to climb on top. I set the little step stool next to it and he figured how to get up on top. He was very proud of himself and step up there for a while. He had a rather unceremonious exit by just sliding off.

Puppies can sleep in the strangest places and ways. This is a little step stool turned upside down. This little guy found this a perfect place to take a nap.

At this age, puppies eat until they are full, then sleep it off. They play for a few minutes, then go back to sleep.

They can barely walk, but we introduce a potty litter pan early. They start using it right away and it helps to get them to move to a specific place to potty. Mom is not going to be cleaning them up much longer because we will start to introduce solid foods very soon.

Puppies have gone from looking like furry slugs to looking like furry piglets. We have now introduced a puppy nest and puppy potty pan. This is how we begin with potty training. They are starting to use it a bit. Puppies will be perfecting their potty training as time goes by. As you can see, they haven't decided their new "nest" is for sleeping.

That is what we call it when we start to see the eyes open. This is a puppy whose eyes are almost all the way open at 15 days. The others are not far behind with most starting to open part way. Ears are still opening, as well.

At 2 weeks, puppies still don't have eyes open, but I expect to start seeing "peepers" by tomorrow. It takes a couple days for eyes and ears to open, and then life for pups really changes. Stay tuned . . . .

Ori keeps her bed and puppies so clean. The babies lined themselves this way to make an adorable photo. We selected the walk-in closet in our guest bedroom as the perfect spot to start out our litter. I chose the kiddy pool because it is easy to clean, and can be spun around to have access to all sides. This will stay the puppy home until eyes are open and puppies are able to climb out....

Puppies usually cannot regulate their temperatures until about 2 weeks of age so they need some assistance from mom, each other, or outside warmth. We provide a puppy heating pad in the center of the kiddie pool, so pups can move towards the heat, if they need. In this photo, the pups are piled together for warmth. We see puppies move to the heat or away, as they need.This photo is an example that pups are warm enough so they are separate in their space.

From the time of breeding, puppies take about 59 to 63 days to be born. Puppies are born unable to see or hear. In the Lagotto, they usually open around 2 weeks to 15 days. Puppies can scoot around quite well searching for food. They have a good sense of smell and warmth. Puppies cannot regulate their body temperature for about 2 weeks, so they must be kept from drafts and cold. We keep a puppy heating pad under the kiddy pool where they were born.

3 weeks to go. 2 weeks to go! Ori hasn't slowed down yet, but she cannot jump up on our bed anymore. She can still get up on the couch but it is getting harder for her to get up on high places. Her appetite is growing too.

Ori had never been to a boarding facility, or ever been groomed by anyone but me. The place she stayed while we vacationed in Europe said they give the dogs baths before we return. I guess they decided Ori needed to see better and they shaved the hair on the bridge of her nose. That is a poodle trim, but a Lagotto should not have that hair shaved off.
