Back to taking care of puppies. I'm talking about puppies. What we do, how we do it. This is how I like to take care my of puppies. That's why I also don't believe in welfare. That's why the first three days I just want my puppies to get as strong as possible. I want to sacrifice my energy, my time. Now you're going down like a snowball of badness. All right, so.

Back to taking care of puppies. We have the night puppies here and we have more puppies behind me. And I'm just going to be cleaning them, talking about puppies, what we do, how we do it. Um, this is how I like to take care of my puppies. Um, we do do welding boxes and stuff. Let me show puppies off. Look at look at this puppy first. Let's get let's show you some cuteness first. Look at that little boy.

I got my new stud. Um, anyhow, so castor soap and coconut oil homemade pads. Very, very good. Uh, as far as like, you know, not putting poison on the puppy's butts and all that stuff, wiping them down with clean stuff. Now, um, I'm going to grab all the I don't like to take puppies off when they're when they're sucking, especially. I mean, the puppies now are just they're over like 27 28 hours old.

So, I'm just going to take puppies that they're not sucking. This is a kamora puppy. Kamora times DaSugarMan. This is a little boy. I'll show you him in a second. Now, these puppies are a little yellow. The white sometimes depending on how much they pee and poop in the womb, gets a little stained or takes a couple days to come off. I'm going to wipe him down, too. I'm helping the moms clean because the first couple days they're like a little bit um.

Out of it under anesthesia, all that but these puppies are are awesome. Get over there. Sugarman puppies and king Escobar puppies. If you don't know who I'm talking about, make sure you go our channels, check out sugarman and king esbar. They're both amazing. King esbar is the one of our, you know, our world famous mini bulldog stud and sugarman's king espar's son. Really, really nice. Just clean this boy. I'm going to show you a close-up of this boy. This boy is really nice, too. Like, I'm not even.

Yeah, I'm not even trying to like not even trying to pump him up. He's just so nice. Look at him. Come on. Go normal. He won't want he doesn't want to um going to show off, but he's really nice also. Okay, so now some people are going to ask me why I um.

This is his sister. Looks just like him, only honestly better. Um look at the wait, so I'm not in a welping box because uh I will I don't like the the moms, especially depending on the mom and depending on the how old the puppies are. The first couple days I never have the puppies in a welding box because I'm never leaving the mom with the puppies. I'm always staying with them. So I like last night I slept on the ground right here. I slept right here on the ground and made sure the puppies are good and the moms just lay on this these um blankets. We change the blanket out and put a heating powder and that's pretty much all the first three days, two.

Days is grind time and I I am pretty much staying with the puppies the whole time. So this is the way I do it. And then welping box is good if you have a mom that you trust that you can leave the puppies with and um.

And the puppies are older. But this is how I like to do. I'm in my living room. Tv's right there. My kids are around everything like that. So makes it easier. Check this girl out though again. This girl's so nice. Sugarman daughter. Really, really nice.

Really nice back everything. Oh, I'll show you the kaspar daughter. Oh, she's back to sucking. So, once they once they're sucking, I don't really take them off again because the first three days is so important to have the puppies get all that colostrum, which is all that all those immunities, that super power juice that they get. And um it's so important for them to get that.

And to get healthy and get strong. And once they get healthy and strong, then they can eat more and more and they're really good. So I don't like anytime a puppy. Oh, this this girl is not sucking good. Check this girl out. Full suit king bard.

Really nice. Does he have any white on you? Tiny bit of white on the chest now. I also like to get my hands on the puppies. See how much they're peeing and pooping. Make sure they're hydrated. Feel their skin. I can tell by, you know, just feeling the puppy how how hydrated they are. I can do the pinch test, too. Pinch and twist. Should go down like it did right there. Really good. That's super super good. You pick it up, twist, and then it goes down. This girl's really hydrated, which is so important. It because when a puppy's not get doesn't get gets dehydrated now you're going down like a snowball of badness puppy doesn't get hydrated it can't regulate the temperature can't regulate temperature.

It can't digest food can't digest food it can't regulate the temperature and then it gets weak and just gets worse dehydrated so it's just so bad so that's why the first three days I just want my puppies to get as strong as possible I want to sacrifice my energy my time and that's why I also don't believe in welpers too cuz noone's going to welp their puppies no paid well person puppy as good as you or as good as me. You know, as I care about my puppies and every puppy I'm, you know, I want to be healthy and good and all all that. You are so good. Look at this girl. So good.

You are so pretty. Let me see if there's any other more any more puppies. So, this night's pot everyone's sucking. So, I think this girl's not sucking. This is a blue chime girl. She's like her white is not pretty yet. She's a little stained. She's small, too. Um,.

But with the with with the puppies, this is why I mean one of the reasons why bulldogs do cost so much because it takes so much time in the beginning to welcome them everything like that. Um, and in my in my opinion, you 99% of the time you can't trust the moms because it just takes one little mess up sitdown for five minutes and they smother a puppy, crush a puppy, whatever. Especially when they're this young this weak.

So, I don't want that to happen. So, I spend the first three days and then after I spend a lot of time, but obviously the first three days I'm really really strict on staying with the puppies and as I call like the 70 72-hour window. Once you get past that window, puppies should be good.

I'm not being rough. I'm just wiping the puppy down, cleaning it, show you again. Anyhow, to stay up to date on these puppies, I'm going to be posting them. We're going be tracking the progress. I'm going to be going a lot harder on social media, especially on the tube. Make sure you click down, subscribe, like, comment, everything. I'm be showing off so much more. Decided to go a lot harder with being more informational, educational, entertaining with uh with our dogs, showing them off because you know, obviously I love showing off the dogs what we built. And look at this boy right here. Super nice. But follow us right now. Stay tuned for the next one. And love you all. Peace. Appreciate your support.
