I hate to be the perennial stick in the mud, but when are you planning to get your guys spayed/neutered? The pups are very cute, yes, but I invite you to go to any animal shelter and find a pup that isnt cute. I do believe that you care deeply for your dogs, but if you arent breeding to show or performance standards (that you stated you arent selling this litter tells me you arent) they shouldnt be bred.
As an aside, have you thought about changing their diet to a raw diet? Its fabulous for all dogs, puppies included. A bit messier and time consuming in the beginning, but the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
