Hi,
I'm wondering what is the minimum age to take home a newborn poodle?
Can anyone recommend me a good poodle breeder and the usual range of prices? Is there anything that I should pay attention when selecting a poodle? Like to keep myself informed.
I have read elsewhere that poodles from Thailand is not recommended? Any ideas the reason behind such reasoning? I noticed a shop advertising their poodles for really low prices which I am a bit sceptical for fears that the pup bought may end up sick/dead (despite the 2weeks guarantee on illness and death). But does this mean that those selling at higher prices are guranteed to make it through? Is there a "safe age" as assurance that the pup that was brought home would be fine?
Cheers.
minimum age to bring a new born back is 7weeks old.
price range usually depends on the pup quality. whats ur budget? i would say the price range is from 750onwards.
Poodle from Thailand are all from puppy miller without proper care, chances of getting parvo n distemper virus is very high.
Are u referring to Fairyland petshop?if yes then i think u should avoid that petshop. There is a thread in Cari forum talk about all the problem with this petshop.
The "Safe Age" where the pup is usually free from problem is around 6months old, but usually at this age the puppy are mostly not so pretty canot be sold at earlier age.
