Congrats on your litter! It’s a LOT of work, but well worth it. If you haven’t already look into Bio Sensor or Super Dog “training” for the puppies. It was a program originally developed by the Army that puts minor stressors on the puppies and helps them develop better.
May I ask who your mid-wife is? I have had GSPs for about 17 years, and did some showing, some agility, some hunt tests, etc. so I was wondering if I knew her.
They will be introduced to water and birds, gunfire, noise etc. I was thinking of setting up a doggy obstacle course as well.
