Emily D Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 The first few days when the puppys were born she only left them to go on walks but now she wants to spend more and more time in the front room . Like today all in all she has spent about 4 hours in the front room,dont get me wrong every time she goes back in she feeds them and makes them go toilet and they are all putting on weight fine,they weighed between 8oz and 11 at birth now they weigh between 1lb and 1lb 4. So should we be more strict with her and make her stay in there or is it alright to let her out for half an hour every few hours? Quote
courtnek Posted October 25, 2003 Posted October 25, 2003 If the puppies are fine, let her decide...if she starts to ignore them, be concerned, but a few hours away are good for her sanity... Most (although not all) dog mom's will care for their young, as she seems to be doing....as long as they are healthy it's ok to give her some time off... Quote
imported_Kat Posted October 26, 2003 Posted October 26, 2003 Yep let your girly tell you what she wants. Give her the opportunity to go out if she wants to, and don't restrict her to one room by locking the door. She will thrive on a break from the puppies, especially as they get older. Sounds like she is being a great Mum :wink: Quote
