I would not allow him to be around any pups that you don't really know a history on; and no walking outside on grass that other animals have eliminated on. |
This is what I have to do with my 14.5 year old Lady who can't get vaccinations anymore. (She has been diabetic for eight years and her immune system is too weak).
I pee pad trained her a few years ago since there are so many dogs in the neighborhood who potty on the grass. She only goes outside on my deck or in her stroller.
The few times I have had to leave her (my daughter's wedding and a few surgeries) shes stays with my vet in a special section with only a few cats or I hire a pet sitter. I groom her myself, no dog parks, pet stores, etc.
Lady is 14.5 so it's no big deal. It's a shame a 12 week old puppy will have to be the "boy in the bubble" for the rest of his life, though.
