Abstract
"Normal puppies delivered without problems are plump and firm. They have good muscle and skin tone and feel firm and tense. The membranes of the mouth and skin of the abdomen are pink. Their legs and back are straight. A normal litter that is well nourished is warm, quiet, appears contented, and will sleep most of the time. The puppies will nurse for about 20 minutes before falling asleep. Activated sleep (twitching while asleep) is prominent during the first few days of life and serves as a normal method of exercise for muscle development."--First page.
