Wonderful information that all breeders should be following. Carrying through with these types of things at the new home is great as well. This is all part of the socialization and early training that we all talk about.

To the question about grass...breeders should have a controlled environment that they allow the puppies to use when introducing grass and outside experiences. They know who and what has been there so they limit the puppy's exposure to any diseases or parasites. It's not the same thing as allowing an unvaccinated or undervaccinated puppy access to public places. HTH
