Neat fotos...but I can never understand why breeders of puppies have one or two bowls of food for a litter to feed at once...

I work on the premise that the litter is already socializing with itself and the dam and other dogs anyway, but I like to feed the puppies in individual bowls so that they all get an equal share and it gives the more reticent ones time out from the bullies of the family...also you can see if they need more...some are slow eaters and therefore in a communal bowl they will miss out. Just my idea on the matter

possibly laziness or socialization

I work hard on socializing very young pups. They get feed together as the big dogs do to but not with them, and handled a shitload by everyone around the house. It makes for a very good start.

some pointers, setters and epagneul breton...text in French
