Anything I should know?????????
 

Hello everyone,

This will be the first time I've bought a pup home this young (7 weeks)?? I plan on feeding him Wellness pup large breed, and just giving him and all the love and affection he needs.. along with plenty of playing and exercising.. But is there anything that I should be aware of for bring a pup home this early?

You're on the right track. Is this your first bully breed?

You should schedule a vet appt. for him as soon as possible and keep him away from your other dogs if you have any until you know he has a clean bill of health. http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/smile.png Also don't take him to any public places until he has had 3 DHLLP (parvo/distemper) shots.

hey Krista, thanks for your reply.. This is my personal 1st. but my ex girlfriend has one (that i help practically raise) and my brother and sister...

and ok, so soon as I get him I should send him straight to the vet to get checked out? I know he's coming with his first shot already given.

Thanks Krista, You're right. I will get him checked out as soon as I get him. I'm getting him from a breeder.

Yep! I feed Cleo the same! Your definitely on the right track http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/smile.png

yeh,there is something you should know,there is no good reason to take a pup off of a bitch at 7 weeks

Call around to your local vets. I know the VCA near me gives a free 1st exam for puppies. http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/smile.png PICTURES?!?!?

Why was the pup taken away from the litter/mom so young?

young???? he's 7 weeks.. the average time is 6-8 weeks...

id say they are getting it from a back yard breeder and my guess is it will either be unknown blood or razors edge from what the breeder told them

6packer, u sound a little angry and bitter so im going to leave this thread before I get angry because you are pissing me off talking about something u have no clue about.. yes i have the dogs ped he's Choas/Gotti no.. please exit this thread if you don't have anything positive to say..

Where was Razors Edge even brought up?

Dont mind him, Roddy! http://www.pitbull-chat.com/images/smilies/wink.png
My girl has Chaos! What Chaos dogs are in his ped?

im dont sound angry or bitter,i just stated that you probably got the pup from a backyard breeder and that would be why your getting the pup at 7 weeks.
now if you want to get pissy about it then thats your problem.
of course i would be pissy to if i just bought a mutt that shouldnt have been taken from the bitch so young

it wasn't..... this guy came in here talking slick about something he have no clue about...

Ok where the hell is it your place to say that his dog is a mutt? Sorry, now im getting a little pissy!

you're obviously a young guy that gets off on hiding behind a computer screen cause you suck @ life.. now go play in traffic..

thanks for your kind words and being "CIVIL".

Roddy please don't take what people say personally. It is not anyone's intention to offend. Everyone here is very dedicated to the breed and only want what's best for your new found friend. Sometimes our words may sound harsh but that is not our intention to offend. We want the best for the breed and look forward to answering questions and helping everyone out as well as support....I am new here to this site and I found what other's told me educational and sometimes hard to hear but it is the best for my dog because they are more knowledgeable of the breed then myself.

that maybe true in your case.. But I have a problem with people who assume and critize and don't know what you are talking about. IF YOU DON'T KNOW DON'T ASSUME.. and critize.. he called my pup a "MUTT" he had no idea.. so he should have just kept his comments to himself.
