First shot at 6 weeks

One of 8 females. Only one male in the litter.

Are we done yet? Such patient puppies.

It took three of us to vaccinate the nine pups. The farmer did the needle work, DW held them and I counted the females and made sure none got back into the run before all had their shots. Tomorrow we have to go through the same routine to make sure they all get their dose of dewormer. Being raised on a dairy farm the little fellows are exposed to all sorts nasties. Of course the benefit to being farm raised is they are able to build up immunities to whatever they can't be treated for. They turn out to be tough dogs.

Another plus to life on the farm is the number of people passing through their world every week. Milk inspectors, farmhands, children and grand children, friends and neighbors. Everyone stops to play with the little fellows and pat the proud parents. That's during the day light hours. After dark 3 Rottweilers and the Lab cross roam the yard looking for trespassers to eat.
