HI
You can start weaning the puppies at about 2 and a half weeks..little balls of mince,complete food which is soaked down into a thin porridge,scrambled egg.
Mum will lose the milk gradually as the pups rely more on weaning foods, I wouldn't cut her back on water at all, and only cut her food down when the pups are eating really well at about 5 weeks old.
It's hard to say exactly, I tend to do it with all without thinking now.
Get the book of the bitch if you can, it's very informative and will help you through just about anything..it the chamdoggers bible..:)

Hello, about this book your talking about where can I buy this? whats the name again, and who's the author of the book so I can go to barns of noble to buy it. Thanks kesha.

Hi yes you are right 3 weeks you start very gently give a taste first a little live yogurt /scrambled egg/ beef raw scrape the knife along the beef and you will get very fine meat gently give this from your finger my friend also has a new litter of c.c. we are in the u.k. where are you from? i am just starting my bulldogs on to these foods and then i will put them on to puppy food James Wellbeloved mixed to mush bont push to hard on the weaning there is no rush and my bitch will still feed when she wants to i wont stop her.

Thanks for the info, Im from West Virgina I was thinking of staring my pups out on the mush as I call it with some puppy formula that I've ordered from revial pet supplies. and Natural choice large breed puppy food mixed together. make it really soft for them whats this sond like.I cant wait for them to start moving around they're so cute like this. thanks for the info.
