The pups are just over 6 weeks now. They had just gotten their first puppy shots and some medicine to help them with the stress of weaning from mom. They are extremely playful and outgoing puppies.
With seven pups, Liberty has had it and doesn’t want any more mom duty. We’ll keep her nearby in case the puppies get too stressed and to allow her milk to dry out and then she’ll be ready to go back in a pen with some buddies. She’s done a good job of raising these pups although she is skinny and needs to put some pounds back on…a common problem with a mom with a large litter.
In about a week I’ll split the litter in half so they can start the process of separating from each other and hopefully before pack rank starts to set in. If we leave the litter together they will start duking it out for ranking within their own little pack. And being terriers, these pups know how to tussle lol.
They’ll be ready for adoption on May 21st. They’ll be over 8 weeks old and have had their second shots and be completely weaned by then.
And my household will be ready for some quiet time
