Miss Monster

bump because I'm interested too!

I asked my breeder this the other day - She wants us to show our puppy from 3 months but 2nd vaccination sometimes isn't done until 12 weeks. She suggested we tell our vet that we want to show him at 12 and they will do it at 10 weeks then we have to leave it about a week or so after that before taking him out... I will be getting the 16 week shot too though. I know there is lots of different advice & opinions on this so I will keep watching to see what others say!

Thanks Badboyz, I had offered to help her supp feed etc as she had 12 puppies and knew that her girl only has 6 working teats? Maybe that is why she let me go down. I don't think anyone else except her bitch's breeder has been around.... Her girl was a bit wary at first but as long as she could still see her babies she was fine.

Thanks guys... I was going to ask my breeder but she'd tell me not to be silly and that I can come down any time - but everytime we go down there we are there for hours so I don't want to be too intrusive - especially in the early weeks as I've read from some of the breeders on here that it can be a very tiring time with sup feeds etc. I'll go see them next week so that'll be 3 weeks then I'll go again at 5 weeks & I'll probably want to go again before I pick it up lol! 6 weeks & 4 days to go! Here is a pic of the boy I got cuddles with... So cute!

My breeder had a litter of 12 Ridgeback puppies 1 1/2 weeks ago... We went down to see them at 1 week old, but I don't want to drive her nuts by visiting constantly... So I was wondering: *when do they open their eyes *start walking around *start showing personalities She is going to allocate the pups once they are 8 weeks old so we don't know if we are getting a boy or girl yet - either way it will be a show dog... Thanks

Pinnacle - I think she means this is the first inside dog - she only has one dog now which was an outside dog from the start - but they had other dogs when it came home so it wasn't alone... I'll be watching this thread with interest - I bring home my new puppy in a few weeks!
