Paul223 Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Most vets recommend 8 weeks for the first set of vaccinations, so not before then, 3 weeks is to early to bring pups off their mother too, risking mastitus, should be withdrawn gradually to reduce milk production, the bitch will be in full milk a 3 weeks!!

WGD Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Sell them preferably before they are born! Then send them to their new homes between 8 and 10 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Got my springer at 9 weeks, none of the other pups were given away before 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arwen3513 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 once the pups are being weaned, after they have had their meal, allow the bitch back in with the pups so if they want to suckle they can, most bitches will ease herself away from the pups and spend less time with them if at 5-6 wks she is still allowing the pups to feed off her then you may need to reduce the time she is with them to allow her milk to dry up. but dont suddenly stop the suckling just because they have built up to a couple of feeds a day. jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordieh Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Illegal in Scotland to sell them under eight weeks can sell/book before this but must be with bitch till eight weeks. Hi All I think legally this 8 week rule only applies to licensed breeders Geordie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
