dont suppliment!!!! mom can nurse--the more the puppies nurse the more milk she will create for them---they might all try to feed at once or a few at a time---ALL you need to do is sit back and support momma with some water-let her do the work-she should have 6 nipples-so she's all good sit back daddy....relax..your doing great...Just make sure #6 gets a nipple before the others and help her "hold her place while nursing" so she doesnt get pushed out of the way

DW wife thinks there might be a #7 coming cause she is still fidgiting around the box. She got the goats milk for just in case dont think we will need it though. the vet said the most shes ever seen from a mini doxy is 6 so if there is 7 that would be something. I am going to take pics and get them on here cause I have to get to work on the coop. It might take me a few so stand by.

holy cow!!!!!!!! congrats!!! I still would NOT suppliment unless you see a pup or two not getting into nurse--the colustrum in mommas milk is best for all the pups and they need that before suppliments.
make sure each puppy gets a turn at nursing--
