1. 6 WEEKS THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO EAT SMALL PUPPY FOOD OR MASHED FOOD. BY THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE TEETH. I BREED POMERANIANS AND THATS USUALLY AROUND THE TIME THEY EAT ON THEIR OWN.. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.
2. Larger breeds like yours can start as early as 4 weeks....mix a premium puppy food with some esbilac(or puppy formula) until is it mush... Good Luck!
3. When my dog wouldn't feed her pups, I started them on Pedigree puppy mixed with formula (you can buy powdered dog milk formula at any feed store) at about three weeks old, they loved it and grew fat and healthy of course I was still bottle feeding until about 5 weeks but supplementing with the softened food really helped fill them up which required less feedings by me.
