New Pup

[Its_grim_up_norf 577]

picking my pup up at the weekend and got a couple of questions, if you can't answer them if you could point me in the direction of some reading material i can get my head in that would be excellent.

 

food wise, i was going to give it red mills. read up on it and it seems cost effective and also a decent mix. the only other one is a greyhound crunch at my country stores, but a lad from work has lurchers and said the more protein (this is 55% protein) the more mental it sends his dogs...any truth to this?

 

and also i was going to let it be a pup until its about 12 weeks and has had its injections, and then start training it. do it at meal times indoors is what ive been seeing a lot, and take treats for any out door training. im not on about big stuff, but coming back, sitting near roads, that sort of thing. But in general plenty of play, and let it enjoy being a puppy.

 

thanks very much.

screwed on or screwed haha?

 

spot on mate thanks. the red mill was on the advice of the breeder, so the change wouldnt be too big for her..? there was shelves and shelves of it at the stores tho you can get a bit lost in the brands.

yeah ill try my best mate, cost is an issue at the minute. ill try and get it on as much meat as i can, but at the minute rump steak is out of the question for me even, id be too tempted to scran it if i bought it for the pup haha!

 

Thanks a lot for the advice though, ill definitely give it meat. are you cooking that or raw out of interest?

ok bit at a time, over a couple of weeks? i probably wont do it straight away, get her used to doing the toilet outside first, an explosive diarrhea and non toilet trained dog might be a bit of a bad situation haha! thanks very much mate im well looking forward to it. ill throw some pics up once i get her

Spot on mate. I've been told worm her once a week til she's 12 weeks. Some say once every 2 weeks. Ill be alright once I get her jabs and then she can get out and about.
