Day 10.
Some older puppies start to open their eyes. They also start to try first uncoordinated steps. Puppies in one litter are not of the same age (Trumler 1999 says up to 5 days). This is caused by a gradual release and maturity of eggs and subsequent fertilisation in the bitch’s body.

Day 11.
Eyes are half opened. First vocal expressions start to appear as demonstration of displeasure and signs of growling. Some puppies can have hiccups, which is nothing unusual.
