i have a question about the age that the K.C says pups should be before they should leave mum to go to their new homes? my breeder says she used to let them go at 7 weeks as long as she felt that they were ready to go but she thinks that it may have changed since her last litter was bred to 8 weeks, as the pet plan insurance starts at 8weeks? does anyone know? thanks in advance

Michelle

Don't think they do. It depends so much on the breed, the breeder, the buyer and the circumstances of that particular litter. Would have thought that with this breed the pup going to an experienced owner 7 weeks is fine. Take it you mean a Sibe.

hi Jackie thanks for the speedy reply, breeder says she is going to phone k.c today so should know by tonight, just wanted to ask all you lovely C.D people if you knew i hate the waiting to find out if i can get her a week earlier than thought lol, and yes she is a sibe :-) . thanks again

Michelle 

I think you will find the petplan cover starts at 6 weeks old.

really Carolyn thanks for that ;-) so all going well i might be bringing her home next week :-) as i said the breeder was phoning the k.c just to make sure but. thats what was niggling at her she was sure it was 8 weeks old the pet plan insurance started from?? thanks again for the reply

Michelle

It says here that Petplan insurance starts from 8 weeks. Is the KC insurance with Petplan?

yes its the k.c  insurance with pet plan

Michelle

Unless they have changed Insurance Providers very recently the KC Insurance provider is NOT petplan.

bye
Gwen

It's underwritten by AXA

The kennel club is Healthcare Plan. I have changed ownership for Amy and got 6wks cover

Jean

I believe the KC provide 6 weeks cover providing the pup does not go to the new owner until it is 8 weeks of age.

Husky lover,

I know you probably can't wait to take your new puppy home, but most reputable breeders don't let their sibe pups go until at least 8 weeks of age. They learn important lessons from their mum at this age, so I'd recommend you wait that little bit longer.

Best of luck with your new pup.

hi sweetpie thanks for the reply, believe me i am very willing to wait until 8 weeks i have waited for years for her so a few more weeks isnt a problem lol,  as for the breeder she is very reputable and i am happy to be guided by her, ;-) thanks for taking the time to reply :-)

Michelle

No, the Kennel Club's cover applies to pups homed from 6 weeks of age.

The KC Insurance is not Petplan. It says here (click on 'benefits' then 'free 6-week puppy cover) that the pup must be at least 6 weeks old.

hi sorry to confuse you all,  i was just going on what the breeder said im not sure if she meant pet plan as in the insurance company ? again sorry

Michelle

Michelle when we got Amy we got free cover from the breeder and guess what it was petplan. But it is the breeder who supplied it not the kennel club Thanks

Jean

now i am getting confused lol ah well either way i am happy to either trust my breeders judgement or wait until pup is 8 weeks  old if thats what is to happen thanks again everyone for replying :-)
