I'm Not Really Sure If This Counts As A 'problem' As Such.

Hi ILG, as much as the idea appealls I would prehaps let her settle in her new home first. Remember she will have had major things happening in her very short life.I know you are very excited, but it is better that she spends her intial few weeks bonding with you and your partner. There is plenty of time for playdates, which by the way is a very good idea. Don't forget that there is puppy pre school to think about as well.

She is definitely going to puppy pre school!!!! BUt if they did meet, they wouldnt catch anything off each other?

Personally ILG... i wouldn't think there would be much of an issue. However, i would wait about 10 days (after your girl comes home) just in case either pup has a bit of a bug - that would cover most diseases incubation periods just in case :) . When you think about it, most puppies go to puppy school well before their 2nd vaccination - they'll be meeting puppies there too. Is there a risk? Yes, of course there is some risk that any pup can catch something from another pup at puppy school even... In all reality, we can walk diseases like parvo into our houses on our shoes if we want to be really pedantic. Personally, i avoid any high risk situations, but do get my pup out and about soon as i have seen the difference between pups that have benefitted from early socialisation and those who haven't, just in my own dogs that i've raised.
