The Labrador Retriever, often abbreviated to Labrador, is a breed of retriever dog that was developed from imported Canadian fishing dogs. Labs descend from the Newfoundland Dog and the St. John’s Water Dog in Newfoundland, Canada. The Labrador Retriever was recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1917 and thereafter rose slowly but steadily in popularity due to its incredible versatility, obedience, and rugged good looks. It is now considered the world’s most popular breed.

How do you keep them clean ??

[@firstamendment9117]

Where did you get that silver bowl you feed the puppies from? Never mind you covered it later in your video. Thanks for the link.

We don't add the water. We just get the dry food and blend it up into a powder. Have you tried it dry and how did it work out? Do you toss out what they left or save it and use it again?

[@must_love_labs]

Momma dog goes in and finishes what they leave. We always start them on a watery mix. It’s easy to swallow and transition from liquid to solid diet.

I have a litter of 10 labs that are 4 weeks old, how much should I be feeding them and how many times a day? You said you start at twice, does it increase over time?

[@must_love_labs]

At 4 weeks we have them started on mush. Momma is still nursing too, directly after and in between our feedings. We give them as much as they want, twice a day. We do this from now on. We leave the food down for about 20 minutes. Then we let momma come in and clean up whatever they didn’t eat. At this time she will top them off with milk. During week 4 we let momma in to milk them in between feedings at least once. At week 5 and beyond it is as described above. 2 times a day with nothing in between. 👍

Cute pups, how old are they?

[@must_love_labs]

In this video they were 3 weeks old

[@bethrider9]

How much should you be feeding a three week old puppy litter of 8

[@must_love_labs]

Great question! At 3 weeks they are just starting on mash. It’s kibble soup really. 1/2 cup each to start just to get them used to it. More later. Don’t worry about giving them too much. They will stop eating when they get full. Momma dog will be glad to finish whatever they leave so nothing gets wasted. 👍

[@dawnsdoodles9774]

How often do you give this ?

[@must_love_labs]

Twice a day to start. In between nursing visits from Momma. When they get hungry we give them their fill of mush and then let momma nurse if they want more.

[@miguelhernandez8978]

Can I use regular kibble instead of puppy kibble?

[@must_love_labs]

You shouldn’t. Puppies need good puppy food. It’s formulated for what they need to be healthy.
