It's a little unnerving, isn't it? She looks like she's thinking, "get these things out of me!"

Not yet i dont set it up untill two weeks before the due date, and nope i've never heard of that book

Gallien...it's by Rutherford and Neil...now in it's 3rd or 4th edition. I wore mine out as a breeder. They've got good used ones on Amazon.com. I am very serious when I say it's a must have for the sake of the pups. I didn't get it until 1981 ( after I had already been a breeder for many years ) and learned a TON!!

You might already have the knowledge of what the book touts. Like, when they should go to their new homes; how you should socialize them before they go to their new homes; what the new owners should do when they get their pup home, etc. Bubbatd would give a copy of the book with every new pup owner...

I guess you don't care ......I was just trying to pass on my years of breeding knowledge to you..... guess you already know what to do at 22 to 28 days old .... the most important time in a puppy's life. Good luck !

Now come on that's a bit harsh! I do care but I have different books of my own ones specific to my breed, and a puppy rearing book, just because I don't wish to buy the book you have doesn't mean anything, you are jumping to conclusions!

What do you do?
Since I am asking all these questions lately, this is one thing I was wondering about???

Let me take a wild guess, since I am not a breeder it will probably be wrong, but it will be fun:

That would be 3-4 weeks old, my guess would be to start them on gruel???
I believe most start worming at 2 weeks or so......
Yes, thats my guess....gruel.

Is that right, grammy?
