Question
HOW LONG WILL IT BE BEFORE THE PUPPIES OPEN THEIR EYES?

Answer
Hi Roosia,

Congratulations on the arrival of your new puppies!

Expect your puppies eyes to open somewhere between seven days to two weeks after birth. It varies a bit, based on breed and on the individual puppies themselves.

Besides not being able to see just yet, puppies are also born deaf. Their ears flaps are limp and lifeless and their ear canals are sealed up, the ears begin to open at about 10 days.

Best of luck!
