rpcrowe ... it is called SIT ... STAY!!!

seriously, as I said above "I failed at getting a good shot of all 9"

lots of assistants (one for every 2 pups) plus a noise maker

drop them in the spot 1 . 2 (raise hands) . 3 make new distracting noise & shoot a couple of pics
I never take more than 3-5 images per set up

be prepaired and pray ... that's my motto LOL

also, my #1 assistant & I do an average of 1 litter a week, some weeks more ... so experience helps LOL

thanks all
