My vet didn't want to see the mum and pups after the birth, as doesn't do home visits and feels it is not worth the risk of infection unless there is a concern. I did however take the mum in a couple of days after the birth just for my own peace of mind.

Don't know the price for the vet check yet as haven't got that far along but going to take them at 8 weeks before they leave so will find out then.
