Arrival of your New Puppy
The day is here. Finally your dreams and your pups have come true. Your puppy will arrive via a courier or you will personally pick s/he up. You are together.
Your pup has led a safe, consistent life so far. Everything is now changing so remember first off, to be kind and patient with your new little one. S/he will please you as fast as S/he can learn what it is that you want. It is in the nature of the Biewer.
- Give your puppy a day or so to settle into the new environment before introducing him/her to your friends or taking puppy to other places away from home. (with the exception of your vet check soon after arrival). We recommend that you take your new puppy for a vet check up within the first twenty four to forty eight hours after arrival. This will either set your mind to rest that your puppy has arrived healthy, or else it will identify any problem, which may need quick attention.
- Show him the pups worming and shot record. S/he will be up to date when you get him/her.
- I repeat: When you do take your pup out do not let him/her walk around on ground where other dogs have been until he/she has had at least 4 shots. (This includes the vets office.) It is good for him/her to be socialized with other people and go for rides in the car with you from a young age so do let him/her be exposed as much as possible just be careful around other dogs and grounds where other dogs have been (too many bacteria that pup needs to be better immune to)
- Your pup is used to quiet music being played as he has grown up. This may help quiet him if s/he seems upset. (might help you too)
- Your pup is like a baby. He/she will need lots of rest and will sleep a lot. PLEASE do not let the children over stress the pup and NEVER leave a small child with the puppy unsupervised. DO NOT let children play with the puppy for extended periods of time. Help the children understand the pup is not a toy but needs to be treated like a newborn. Make sure the puppy has a place to be alone away from the children so s/he can rest.
- DO NOT LET SMALL CHILDREN CARRY THE PUP. Instruct them to sit on the floor and hold the pup but do not pick them up or try and move them anywhere. A good rule of thumb is one hour of play to two hours of rest (away from the children)
