oh dear, are you not aware of these facts?
Are you not aware that there are 15 dogs born for every one human? http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.cause&cgid=1&rgid=2&stid=10
Are you not aware that there are millions of dogs killed every year because of not enough homes? http://www.jour.unr.edu/outpost/voices/voi.valdyke.animal.html
Are you not aware that only 1 dog in 10 gets a permanent home? www.safehavenforcats.com/main.htm
Are you not aware that one female and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs in just six years? http://www.metroplexanimalcoalition.com/SpayNeuter/didyouknow.html
That coupled with the health benefits of spay/neuter WHY would you breed your dog? www.sniksnak.com/benefits.html

Do not give her a bath yet and leave her alone to care for the puppies. You can touch puppies but not too much handling should be done right now so that you do not upset the mother.
here is a link that may be useful

BTW research should have been done before you bred your dog. Do not try to get all your info about care of pups from YA there are better resources such as the VET. Consulting one would be a wise choice.

CONGRATULATIONS GRANNY!!!!! leave the mum to bond with the puppies. i wouldn't wash the mummy till another 5 days until the pups are ok by themselves.

you can touch the puppies. i handle the puppies as soon as they are born because i want to make sure they are right. i continue to do so because that is what they need. so they will not be afraid of people. look on the akc.org site for more help
