Hi looking for advice what to do next pups are little riots [large breed] and trying to eat mum's food and always hungry as if her milk isn't keeping them contained anymore should I try weaning next starting with milk replacer to top them up .There are all progressing so well. Also saw some ppl saying about putting them outside at intervals when should this start I have artificial grass that's always cleaned and have sectioned a portion that they will use but only for intervals on nice dry days just we have 10 puppies and worried not alot of space and I have to return to work soon with my mum on check up duties lol .

It's certainly time to start weaning them if they're showing signs of wanting to share mum's food. Don't bother with milk replacer; start them with tiny amounts (just one teaspoonful each the first day, gradually building up) of minced beef or soaked puppy food. After a week they can be on 5 meals a day, as much as they'll eat, as well as top-ups from mum after each feed. Depending on the weather (it mustn't be cold or wet) they can start going outside for half an hour or so from about 4 weeks, again building up the amount of time.

> we have 10 puppies and worried not alot of space and I have to return to work soon with my mum on check up duties lol .

To be honest so far has been the easiest time. 

The real work starts now, as Mum will stop cleaning up after pups and they literally become little poop machines.

This is now the time when they need the most interactions with many different types of humans and varied experiences. Not to mention constant cleaning up after them moving them from one area while you clean and refresh the other, feeding 4 - 5 times a day, letting Mum in and out from their quarters, and repeat ad nausueum.

Someone needs to be with them full time from now on until they go to their new homes, which may take longer than 8 weeks.

Puppy rearing is not a part time occupation.

>I have to return to work soon with my mum on check up duties lol .

Your mum will have to do a hell of a lot more than 'check-up duties'! She'll have to be with the pups full time, because the easy time's just ending and the hard work begins.

Hi,

Start them on food now, either soaked kibble or raw food whatever you choose.

As for going back to work, if this is full time your mum will have a lot of work on her hands. Clearing up poo and wee which will be after they wake, after feeding, after playing. Its almost non stop. The pen will need thoroughly cleaning, they will need cleaning as they do tend to roll and step through it all.
Plus they will need feeding meals and off mum too.

They will need a lot of interaction throughout the day to make them into social pups. I think your mum needs to be there almost the whole day when you aren't.
It's the fun time but the most hard work we as breeders need to put into them.
They will need to experience time outside when old enough and being we have short days that will meed to be during daytime hours as its getting blinking cold now.

No it's not full time it's just 4 hours on one day a week she will watch them as other day I'm working  only half day and she will see to them too .Other  than that we are home with them they are being handled at minute also as I have 3 children who are older . Thanks for all advice I will start them on it tomorrow once went to local pet store .

We started our puppies, towards the end of week 3 if they were doing well, using warmed goats milk.  Teaching them to lap individually.     And a thumb nail amount of lean raw mince once a day to begin with.    Once they could all do this, we added a good quality puppy food, mixed with either goats milk, or warmed water, into a porridge.   Ditto with helping each individual puppy to get used to eating this individually.   After that it was putting a purpose made puppy dish(es) down in the box.

Mum was always fed OUTSIDE the box so the puppies couldn't bother her.   Initially they were still taking most of their nourishment from mum btw - she'd stand to allow nursing however, going into the box to clean up after the puppies had finished their meals.

Water was made available in a shallow dish once onto solids.

And FOR SURE it's this time that the work really starts - and it's full time, not just somebody popping in.   If only for constantly cleaning the box!!

We only put out puppies outside, by 4+ weeks if the weather was warm which at this time of year, it won't be!

With a litter of that size you have to be extra vigilant with keeping the puppy area clean from poo as the little darlings will start eating it if not cleaned up immediately (I speak from experience having litters of 9 and 11). Once they get this habit it’s a hell of a job to break and not at all nice for your new owners to deal with. I know in the real world people have to work but I’d be wanting someone with them the whole time.
