lurchergrrl 1,441 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Nothing to do for the pup over the next few months except let him be a pup Just get his jabs, feed him good food, play with him, get him doing the very basic things like sit, come, fetch ... and enjoy him. Personally I don't think there's anything else needs doing with them till they're over six months. That gives you loads of time to read up and ask folks what comes next Quote Link to post
