joebloe Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Hi, After almost 2 years after my last dog died, I am getting another dog. Seeing it is such a long time since I had a pup, I was after advice on what to feed, when to feed etc. I am getting a Staffy bitch (@ 8 weeks) & pick her up in 2 weeks. She was having her first needle this week & I am also enquiring as to the scheduling of their needles as well & what age should she be de-sexed? :D Thanks in advance joebloe.

puggy_puggy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 If your breeder is a reputable registered breeder they should be able to give you all of this information without any problems. Have a chat to them. Many breeders will actually give you information sheets as well as a starter pack of food. Hi,After almost 2 years after my last dog died, I am getting another dog.

luvsdogs Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I picked up Tilba from her breeder on Thursday & she came with a bag of puppy food, diet sheet & a couple of toys. There was also copies of the test results done on the hereditary diseases of Border Collies plus her vaccination cert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nicedoggy Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Yes you should have a list from the breeder what to feed the pup. I prefer a raw diet with vegies and chicken necks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 If you have purchased off a reliable registered breeder that hold a registered prefix they will give you all the information that you require. Plus food for several days. One thing does concern me, ........most baby puppies are not vaccinated till 8 weeks by registered breeders. The baby puppy then does not become available till ten to fourteen days after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tess32 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Joebloe - Here is a link about vaccination schedules so you can do the best by your pup - http://www.doglogic.com/vaccination.htm Please be careful about taking her out and about before her shots are finished. She should be socialised in safe places or carried around, but avoid high risk areas like dog parks. Most people still desex at 6 months, some people wait till the dog is physically mature at around 12-18 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
