When my RB boy, Cody came home with me, his previous owner gave me a piece of welping cloth, which smelled like poop and other puppies. so he would be comfortable. Of course he still cried the 1st 2 nights, but quickly adjusted. We gave him a bath the first week as to not shock him. Puppy breath, here, indicates a "sweet and fresh" odor, not changed yet by any outside influences like food stuck in teeth, or bad oral hygiene. it just smells heavenly! Emma is precious! The photos are awesome!
