This is why Mother Nature gives them such a keen sense of smell. Imagine trying to find your Mom for a good meal when you&#8217;re blind and deaf!<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, pretty much all they want to do is eat and sleep.

Puppies are monitored 24\/7!<\/p>\n<p>Each Tannh\u00e4user puppy is tagged at birth or shortly thereafter with a colored collar. These allow me to identify each one uniquely and track their progress. The collars are tear away so no puppy can ever be hurt by getting their collar hung up on something. Their colors stay with them until they leave for their forever homes.<\/p>\n<p>If you get a Tannh\u00e4user puppy, you&#8217;ll be able to watch them grow in photos I put up on my PUPPIES page (this is accessible via the <a href=\"https:\/\/tannhausergsds.staring-into.space\/index.php\/litters\/\">LITTERS<\/a> page when I have a current litter).
