[/quote] Until she's had all her injections, you really shouldn't be letting her on the road (or any public floor) because of the risks of parvovirus (and other nasties). It's a puppy killer, and can stay active on the ground for over a year, so even if there's no other dogs around, it doesn't mean there's no danger.

[/quote] Ha ha, that's the labrador in her! You will soon be tearing your hair out because she insists on saying hello to everyone! ;D ;D ;D They are lovely. As snowbunny says, you probably want to avoid her having too much exposure to nasties until she has had her full set of injections - it sounds harsh to keep her from exploring outside the way she wants to, but better safe than sorry. How long before she has had her injections?
Re: My puppy he said she had her parvo shot and been wormed and he needs to come give her a distemper shot

You can take her out but carry her and not allow her on the ground.
Re: My puppy i had her out in my yard following me around she just saw the guy walking down the road and got excited and started running to him i caught her before she made it out of the yard
Re: My puppy thanks yes i think they are big puppies (Link removed because we don't allow puppy adverts) this is whats left
Re: My puppy Have you brought the puppy home already? She is just 7 weeks old today (if I've got the birthdate right ) but they need to stay with their mother and the litter until 8 weeks of age.
Re: My puppy Aw, poor thing, that's very early for her to leave her mum. You may (probably) find you have extra issues with her biting, too, because she's not had those valuable lessons from her mother and the rest of the litter. Is it possible that she could go back until she's eight weeks of age? It's not a lot of time for you, but it's a big deal for a little pup.
Re: My puppy It's not just about weaning, it's about learning lessons from their mum. Like the biting. Many puppies are weaned at 4.5 weeks, but it doesn't mean they're ready to leave their mother. It's so sad when people separate the puppies too early and can lead to other problems later on

Mum is their comfort point when the big wide world gets too frightening or confusing. Puppies learn much about good behaviour from mum and their litter mates which is why it is important that they are not separated too early (i.e. preferably not before 8 weeks), particularly bite inhibition. Registered breeders in the UK keep puppies with um until at least 8 weeks, in France the norm is 10 weeks and as I understand it in some States in the US it is a legal requirement for the pups to be 8 weeks old before going to new homes.
Re: My puppy she was weaned from her mom wasn't with her anymore she is doing good. she is around other dogs and lots of people
