We have our names down for a mini schnauzer pup - but we were number 4 on the list and thankfully the lovely mum has had 5 puppies today. The breeder says that 3 of them are "huge" 2 of them are described as "very small". We are desperately hoping for the best and that one of the two little ones will survive - one of them is active and feeding from mum and one is having to be hand fed although still active. What do you think? I haven't a clue about puppies to be honest. What are the odds of at least one of the surviving? Don't want to get our hopes up but the kids are over the moon and I've tried to tell them that they may not all survive but not sure it's going in. These are very good pedigree dogs by the way, from a brilliant breeder.
Thank you for any words of wisdom!
