QuestionHI, I RECENTLY GOT A PUPPY YESTERDAY WILL BE 8 WKS ON THE 12 OF FEB. WHEN CAN HE GET HIS SHOTS AND ARE THEY GOOD BREED FOR CHILDREN?
THANKS SO VERY MUCH....
AnswerOne should never bring in a new puppy before eight weeks of age (preferably nine) so that it can learn to inhibit its bite from its mother and littermates.
No, this is a terrible breed for children, particularly if it has not learned to inhibit its bite. Most terriers also have a high chase instinct, so generally are not very good with very small children.
Puppies should be inoculated at 8-9 weeks, 12-13 weeks, and then again at 16-17 weeks.
