well as you may all know, i have puppys at 1week old tomorrow, just thought id say how proud i actually am, they are soooooooo scrummy, they are just good fun although mother dont seem to think so, lol, they have all grew and are really fast now, we have a screamer, he takes tantrums when he cant get food fast enough, and screams untill he gets there, hes woke me up loads of times thinking he was getting squashed or something, there is only one who is bigger than the rest(greedy boy), lol so i dont have a runt which is great on my behalf as i know a reputable breeder shouldnt have a runt, so far im well on my way,

a big thanks for everyone who was with me all week on all issues i have posted, without you i dont exactly know where i would be right now,

love sami x x x x

well done with your babies, hard work though isnt it - hope they all find loving homes.

would just like to say though, i consider myself a very reputable breeder and my last litter i had a runt, the smallest puppy i have ever seen, we nicknamed her mouse, apart from her size she was just perfect and so she was my choice to keep, she is year old on friday and is absolutely stunning and no smaller than her littermates now. A Runt just doesnt get quite a good a start as the others in the womb for various reasons and can happen to the best of us :)

Congratulations, every one has to start somewhere. your hard work will start when you start to wean them.
Enjoy! while mom is doing the work!!

i thought that iv just been reading toooooo much in the book of the bitch,

yeah, well my mum is going to be kept on her toes too because she's splitting the day shift with us, lol, lol, although i did offer to pay her, 

i did lie a little there because we had a smaller one who only lasted 2 days so i suppose he could have been the runt,  lol, yup it is hard work and im an emotional wreck, lol

Had to laugh..........we have a screamer too, he happy and content most of the time but if the "milk bar " is open he has a tantrum if he isnt there first!!! Maybe he wants the best seat in the house!!!!!

This is only my 2nd litter in 4 years but im lucky to have help from my Mother who has been breeding for 20+ years. It is a worrying and emotional time

well now we have two screamirs now, he and he kept me up nearly all night, and the worst thing is i had no tv because the ariel was nackered, just got it fixed now so peace at last, lol
