I got my pup at 13 weeks and she came with her first round of vaccinations. I agree, you should wait until your pup is at least 12 weeks. In addition, my vet is making me wait 3 weeks between her second round of shots and her last round of shots. During this time, my vet advised that Chi-Chi remain indoors and if I take her out, it should be for a very limited time. I keep her inside a majority of time and the time she spent out has been from car to front door.
Also, your pup should should start socializing before four months. If your breeder is separating the litter early, your pup will also miss out on socialization. A lack of socialization can lead to behavioral problems, so please speak to your breeder about the possible consequences of separating the pups too early.
All the best! |
