Week 1: From healthy newborns to chubby neonates. This is a period of very rapid growth. The puppies spend almost 24 hours/day nursing or sleeping. They have all gained a phenomenal amount of weight, especially Soprano and Bass who are now almost 3X their birthweight! Their size relative to each other, and their projected size as adults cannot be determined at this age. A puppy that is large at 1 week of age can end up on the smaller end, while a pup that starts out small can bypass most of its siblings by the time they go home at 8 weeks.
