Hello from Israel

Moderator Note: Sadly, in some parts of the world there is a tragic trade in tiny puppies barely able to walk. On the Labrador site we frequently get comments from people who have purchased puppies as young as 21 days old. Their owners will usually need help from a qualified veterinary professional if the puppy is to survive and thrive.

Our forum policy is to encourage people to wait until their puppy is eight weeks old before collecting it from the breeder. To make sure we are not encouraging the trade in underage puppies, nor depriving these puppies of essential veterinary attention, we have the following rule.

If a forum member’s puppy has been removed from the breeder/ mother before the age of seven weeks, that member must wait until their puppy is seven weeks old before posting about him or her on the forum

We recommend that anyone with a puppy under this age contacts their vet without delay for instructions on feeding, general care, and medical treatment. We understand that members want to help these puppies, but the forum is not the right place to be distributing specialist advice of this nature.

Hello all,
Please say hello to Chelsea - she is six weeks old (March 14th). Brought her home yesterday, and we all very happy...

 

Hello Amir,

Welcome to the Forum and I hope you find a lot of information to help Chelsea settle in successfully with you family.
Can I direct you to our Forum Policy on Underage Puppies and Pippa's explanation for why we endorse it :
