Puppies are a lot of work, be careful. We had lab puppies and 11 came out and they all survived. Chinook was a good mom but all she did was feed and lay with the pups, she didn't clean the poop up. About every 10 mins one will poop and then they all will roll in it if you don't clean it up asap. Then they cry at night once they get used to you being around I was ready to pull my hair out by week 8. Good Luck
