Hi,
My husband and I will be new F1b labradoodle parents beginning next weekend. I've been a "silent" participant in your posts for the past few weeks and am so thankful I've come accross your site. Thanks for all the good stuff! We're still learning quite a bit, but for now I have a few questions (with, I'm sure, many more to come in the near future).
1. What puppy food do you recommend for labradoodles? We purchased a small bag of Nutro Nature's Choice and expect we'll mix that with whatever the breeder was usuing for the first week or so.
2. We're traveling to my in-law's house in the Poconos one week after we get our puppy. Is it safe / smart to bring the puppy with us? I wouldn't leave him outside except to go to the bathroom, but I've read about the infections they can get even if you're careful. We're going to talk to our vet also, as the breeder said that it would be better to travel with them after they get their 2nd round of vaccinations. Thoughts?
3. Sort of tagging on the previous question...originally, we were planning to have my family over the same evening of the morning that we're picking up Riley. Is that a bad idea for the puppy?
Thanks for all your help!
Julie
