Topic Dog Boards / General / English bull - When can i take him out?
- By bsdmr2 [gb] Date 07.04.05 08:35 UTC
I will be getting an English Bull Terrier in 2 weeks time, he will be 8 weeks old when i get him. Just wondering if anyone could advise me on when i can start taking him out? i know he has his injections at 9 and 12 weeks, but i wasnt sure when you can start taking him out? Any info/help would be appreciated.

Take him out rigth from the start in your arms, the car etc.  Just son't put him down where other dogs have been.  He can meet up with vaccinated dogs owned by family and freinds no problem.

Once he has had his jabs a lot depends on the current disease situation in your area.  If there has been no cases of any of the diseases, manytpeople take pup out as soon as they have their second jab, some wait a week or two (you may find him very heavy to carry by then :D).

ok thank you for your help, much appreciated! is he ok running round in the back garden though?
- By Brainless [gb] Date 07.04.05 08:51 UTC
Oh yes of course as long as it is a private garden where strange dogs have no access.  You would have terrible time housetraining otherwise :)

no it is a private garden. Also does anybody know at what age do they shed their baby teeth?
- By Jeangenie [gb] Date 07.04.05 08:59 UTC
From about 4 months.

thanks and they just come out naturally? over a period of time?
- By Jeangenie [gb] Date 07.04.05 09:21 UTC
Yes, they should fall out naturally, though tuggy games with old teatowels etc can help! Sometimes the upper canines in particular refuse to be shed and need to be removed by the vet (at about 6 months of age), but that isn't very common.

if you don't find any teeth around the place don't worry - most pups swallow theirs as they lose them!  I only ever found one of my guy's, one of his canine teeth.  You might see a little bleeding round the gums as well as the teeth loosen up and fall out.
