J@mes Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 we've been told 1 week! so 6 days to go. 15 minutes aint much of a walk though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 You'll hear various ideas on this... But for me... All my dogs have been outside since day 1 (8 weeks) I firmly believe that the benefits far exceed the risks in this modern age, where the majority of other dogs are vaccinated anyway.... (interestingly enough, the two vets I use - share my view with their own dogs) Be sensible - IE don't let her sniff / eat other doggy doo... I had Floyd out from 8 weeks, in regard to your photo comment on my thread; this is the reason why he's so attentive to me at just 11 weeks. Get out there and have some fun!

To be honest Gary I have done the same although was afraid to admit it as I thought I would be condemned lol Only for lil walks from my house down to the sand dune as I live on the border of the nature reserve! Just avoided other dogs until the owners have told me there vaccinated. Also avoided other dogs poo Will get out with Skye then although might leave it a few days n get out with her on the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Keep doing that... The more socializing / getting used to the world - they do the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 the only time you'll regret it is if your pup gets parvo as odds are it will be deadly, that said socialisation in places with few dogs should be fine its just if you live in town and walk in parks etc its definitely a bad idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yep - Parvo is a nasty one - and a killer. Round here - I'm lucky if I bump into another soul when out walking my two... As I said earlier - be sensible! That said, you know the area you live in, and can probably gauge if the local owners are responsible at keeping their jabs / worming up to date - This should be fairly obvious... How many of the great British unwashed / staffordshire bull terrier owners do you come across on a walk for example? (accepts incoming flak) Would I walk my dog before its jabs through a park in London, Luton or another big city/town ? - No. Would I walk my dog before its jabs on my permission or along a local bridleway out in the sticks - Yes!
