Puppies

A puppy has a lot to get used to when he arrives in his new home, but with your help and support he will soon feel safe and secure. However, the first few nights are likely to be trying for you both. I f you see a litter of puppies in the nest, they will lie in one big heap, getting warmth and comfort from each other’s bodies. When a pup leaves the breeder’s home, he is going to have to cope with nights on his own. An indoor crate is invaluable in this situation as your pup can be confined in a safe place where he cannot harm himself—even though he can still make a lot of noise. Make the crate cozy with bedding in the back half and newspaper in the front half. This means that if your pup needs to spend overnight—and most pups cannot last all night long to begin with—he does not have to soil his bedding.
