chaostheory Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 Hi guys, hope you had a good xmas. Bought a bunch of dog toys for myself for xmas... for my non existent dog. I am hoping to meet with a breeder over the next few weeks. However today I did send off an application for a rescue just under a year old that caught my eye and I would like to meet, so we shall see what comes of it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far he is an absolute joy <3 and gets better with every day. He is a little over 8 weeks old and a very smart outgoing guy.

dididog Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I am glad your dog owning dreams came true! I would probably wait till after his second shot to let him walk on the ground. I live in inner city Melbourne in a really low risk area too but I just wanted to be on the safe side with mine. I didn't get her till 10wks though which was when she got her second vac so I only had to wait a week... which was good because she weighed 11kg at the time so couldn't be carried very far! You can still socialise him with people while being carried and get him used to things you'll encounter on walks like trams and bikes going past.

My vet advised me that I couldn't go out (park, beach etc) until 10 days post 3rd vaccine. I thought it was the second too, seems excessive.

My vet advised me that I couldn't go out (park, beach etc) until 10 days post 3rd vaccine. I thought it was the second too, seems excessive. Yep mine wanted me to keep her in until after the 3rd... and said I shouldn't even let her play with my friends puppy who was the same age with same vaccination status in one of our yards! You'd have to be pretty unlucky to pick something up and you could just as easily walk diseases into your home on the bottom of your shoes. The socialisation benefits far outweigh the very small risk and I wouldn't hesitate to start letting puppy walk on the ground a bit after the second vac. I personally waited till after the 3rd vac to start taking her to parks just because that's really where risk is highest and lots of unknown dogs (our local park is really popular) but she still got to be exposed to lots of things just by walking around our neighbourhood on the pavement.

hankdog Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 It's actually really important your pup gets used to having his picture taken and posted on DOL. Very important socialization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spotted Devil Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Regarding the alone time....make sure pup has had a good run around plus some training and has toileted. You want pup mentally and physically tired. Then give him some food toys (eg stuffed Kongs, cardboard boxes with dry food inside) so he can entertain himself happily until he gets tired enough to sleep. My pups can't wait to be left alone :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaostheory Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Hey guys all going very well here! Toilet training nearly complete with the odd miss every now and then. Puppy is just perfect and everything Id hoped for. :) :) after all that talk about apartment living I have actually moved into a place with a fenced backyard. My question now is at what age could I leave him in the back yard with access to the unused garage when no one is home. He has been staying in his pen when home alone but now is getting bigger and more active and I think he would enjoy having outside access when the weather is nice. I do not have a doggy door. Although the fence is high and I have met the neighbours on two sides my main concern would be theft... (Is this something that even happens) Thoughts? Also vet has pushed for him to be desexed at four months to which I said no as I think it's too young. Now I am hesitant about getting him desexed at six months as he is still so small.. would love to know the general consensus on that too.
