How we wean our puppies
|
We allow mom to handle the weaning.
We do not get involved in our pup’s weaning process. We prefer to let nature take its course and let mom choose when to wean her puppies. If a breeder weans too early, we suggest that you look elsewhere. Mother knows best, she will wean when it is time, and the puppies will be healthier and more emotionally stable. That typically means that our pups nurse until they are 10 - 12 weeks old. It quickly becomes obvious that mom does not have much milk and the nursing sessions are more for emotional support than physical. |
The pup’s attempts to nurse are often met with mom initiating a play session but if the pup insists,
mom decides whether to correct or tolerate a sip or two. After 10 -12 weeks, pup and mom tend to
seamlessly transition to full weaning without much trauma and only the occasional correction.
