I haven't had a winter litter in years until the one I have now. I'd forgotten what easy keepers the puppies are when not battling fleas, cocci, strongid worms and flies as they do during summer months. Yesterday, they were all in for their 8 wk vaccinations and vet checks and I heard the vet cooing away........ haaaaaa. I'm a convert. Give me winter puppies ... I'm having a wonderful time!!
