I won't give a bath until they are atleast 4 weeks old. I believe that they can't maintain their own body temperature until they are atleast 3 weeks old. (Someone wiser correct me if I'm wrong!) I'm not a big fan of bathing them when they are small. A chilled puppy is not a good thing.

I do their first shots at 7 weeks. There's lots of conflicting info. on the shots.
