Celebrating O Pups--For Sale!

We still have O pups available. We have been slack at letting folks see them. Betty has blood clots and we have been going to the Dr. but we have them on the Galla Web site now. I thought I would give some pup raising tips! Here goes!
Worm the mother and get her off the ground when you know she is going to have pups.

The whelping kennel needs to be clean, clean, clean.

When pups are born, if you want docked tails do it by day three.

Worm 3 week old pups with a good wormer.

Continue worming schedule about 10 day intervals.

Give mother all she wants to eat.

Pour out water daily and clean water dish.

If hot, change water 2 times a day.

New mothers need a big water bucket!

Wean Feist pups at about 6 weeks.

Don't let the mother stay with them! That is not weaning.

Worm them when you move the mother.

Do not let the pups on dirt or soil until they have a puppy shot.

Feed pups only a good dry food.

Feed 2 to 3 times a day. About 1/4 c. per pup.

What food they don't eat, take out of whelping pen.

Make sure they can reach the water dish.

Don't allow urine in pup bed.

Clean it with bleach water if they pee there! They will stop.

After the 1st shot, start socializing the pups.

Try to feed them away from their kennel to help with cleanliness.

You must medicate if a pup has loose bowel.

Watch for slime in stool. This is serious. Stool should be firm.

Do not put ANY liquid on the pups' food.

They need dry food to clean their teeth and water brings bacteria.

If you want to avoid a vet bill, add plain yogurt to food of pups with slimy stool.

6 week old pup with diarrhea for more than one day, could die!

Well, here are the O girls! For sale--both parents great squirrel dogs. Price $350.00. Ocie is the smallest and she has a rose ear. She was the runt! No one told her as she is very out going. Obie has two little spots by her tail and Odie has a dot on her forehead. They are wonderful Feist pups. Just the age to go to the woods this fall. 479 890 8090
