Does newborn puppy weight matter?

In short, yes! Studies have shown that female
puppies and puppies from larger litters were
at higher risk for low birth weight (LBW). In
addition, survival rates for LBW puppies were
reduced in litters with at least one stillborn
puppy and when the dam was more than 6
years old. Furthermore, LBW puppies have
an 81% chance of death in the first 48 hours.
Therefore, early weight observation is critical.
It is recommended to weigh puppies with
a digital scale at least twice daily in the first
week and keep a record for accurate tracking.
Puppies should increase their weight by about
5-10% every day, typically doubling their birth
weight in about the first week. Be aware of
increased risk factors for LBW in your kennel
and prepared to act quickly for higher-risk
newborns.

APGAR TEST

In 1952, Dr. Apgar devised a scoring system
to rapidly assess the health of newborn
babies at birth. The APGAR test is still used
worldwide to quickly determine if newborns
might need additional assistance. Recent
research has adapted the APGAR test for dog
breeding and shown useful results.

When performing the APGAR test on newborn

puppies, five categories are evaluated.

Puppies are given a score of 0, 1, or 2 in each

category. Their total score can then be used to

quickly identify higher-risk puppies that may

require extra care. The chart below illustrates

APGAR scoring:

CATEGORY 2 SCORE 0
Heart Rate More than 220 1 Less than 180
(beats per minute)
180-220

Respirations More than 15 6-12 breaths Less than 6 breaths

Reflexes are not easy to determine in
newborn puppies. To check reflexes, press
the tip of a paw and evaluate the strength of
the reaction. It is generally recommended to
perform the APGAR test within five minutes of
birth.

A total APGAR score of 7-10 is a rating of no (717) 614-9484

Teamwork

Creating a teamwork environment is foundational
to sustainable business success.

Each year contestants race across
1000 miles of wild Alaskan terrain
in the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.
Leaders, called mushers, direct a team
of 12-14 dogs as they travel the race
trail for 8-15 days or more. Teams
often race through whiteout blizzards,
sub-zero temperatures, and gale-force
winds. Long before the race even
begins, the teams train nearly year-
round together and travel thousands
of miles in training. Only working
together and pulling in the same
direction, can any team hope to cross
the finish line.
