Hi everyone...

I dont know if this is the correct forum to post the thread...but hopefully Johnwa will moove it if its wrong..
Any way, i need your help and wisdom...one more time...
We had a litter on May 26th...5 beautifull puppies...Mother, first time mom, Greek Champion and the father is a very well known stud in Europe who has produced quite a few international champions in the past. Puppies are fantastic, healthy, everything checked etch. etch.
But....there is a problem, which we face for the first time after breeding Goldens for 20 years now. Puppies are extremely small in size...Not one of them...All of them.
They are almost 7 weeks old nad look like they are 2 weeks old, which is a bit weird. They run around, eat puppy kible, everything normal except their size...
The funniest thing is that compared to other litters we had in the past these puppies breast fed more than others, almost for 5 weeks.
I was wondering if anyone had the same problem in the past...and i was thinking if we follow the raw meat diet would that make any difference???

Thanks again...
Furry Hugs from Greece..

As long as they are all healthy and are gaining weight at the correct weight I wouldn't worry. Not all show dogs are big. Small can also be beautiful. Our Ruby is the the smallest of our bitches but is by far the most beautiful.
Have fun with the new family.
