Bird steals fur, but hairy dog doesn't seem to mindThank you for visiting Kybra Kennels. Kybra Kennels is a CKC registered premier breeder of Portuguese Water Dog & Siberian Husky puppies in Ontario. Our adult huskies vary in many coat colours, in hopes that we can provide you with the perfect coloured husky puppy that you have been looking for. Some of our adult siberians have blue eyes, some have brown eyes, and some are bi-eyed. We like the PWD's with mostly black coats and white crests and white socks. Most important of all, our adult Siberian huskies and Porties are very healthy, and have frequent veterinarian check-ups. The temperaments of all our adults are very personable as well. Siberian Huskies are energetic dogs that make great family pets. They love people and other pets. They are highly intelligent (and can be excellent "escape artists"). Lots of exercise or a fenced yard is recommended. Huskies have thickly furred double-coats, and of course, the curled/sickle tail.

Portuguese Water Dogs make excellent companions and are loving and intelligent. They enjoy being petted, and with their soft, fluffy coats, who can resist? They have a single-layered coat which is non-shedding, so the PWD's are considered hypo-allergenic.

This is a rule that is followed in a lot of countries, and one which was created with good reason.

However, it is not unusual to come across people that have brought their new Labrador puppy home at the tender age of six weeks. There are some good reasons why you should not bring your new puppy home before he is 8 weeks old,  but of course sometimes it just cannot be helped. A breeder may get taken into hospital, or even die, for example,  and the distraught relatives need to rehome the puppies early. All too often unfortunately, breeders who let puppies go to their new homes at six weeks old, do this for selfish reasons. If you are considering taking on a five or six week old Labrador puppy,  for whatever reason, you need to know what you are getting yourself into. Let’s have a look at what puppies learn in those last two weeks that they normally spend with Mum and siblings before going to their new homes at eight weeks old. The process of learning bite inhibition is a long one.  It begins whilst puppies are quite small and first learning to play with one another and with their mother.

And it carries on until they are several months old. By the time you bring a puppy home at eight weeks,  however needle sharp you think his teeth are,  he has already learned a lot of bite inhibition from his mum and siblings. Although you have to continue this process,  some of the hard work has already been done. At nine weeks, my own young pup could crush the bone in a chicken wing in seconds,  yet never actually even drew blood when biting my fingers.  Although it still hurt, her Mum had already taught her to ‘pull her punches’,  yet she was actually capable of crushing the bones in my fingers. If you take a puppy home at six weeks,  you will have to do even more of ‘Mum’s’ job and teach the puppy not to cause actual bodily harm when she bites.  This is not easy and has to be done in stages.  You cannot just punish the dog for all biting or it will not learn the vital skill of bite inhibition.  You can read more about bite inhibition here: Biting

Bite inhibition problems are more likely with puppies that have been removed from Mum too early, and can be very difficult to manage if you have small children. A puppy in the nest is being jostled constantly.  This is a normal part of growing up within a ‘litter’. Labrador puppies that are removed from this jostling experience too young may dislike being touched or bumped in certain parts of their bodies.  There is a potential for this to lead to behavioural problems, including aggression,  later in life. If a breeder asks you to take a puppy home at five to six weeks of age,  be very suspicious. Only in the most dire circumstances should a breeder let puppies go this young. Bear in mind that some disreputable breeders will make up excuses to get rid of puppies when they get to this age. Just as the puppies are becoming both time consuming, messy,  and expensive to care for. Short of a personal disaster, no reputable breeder will normally request or permit a puppy to leave her premises before seven weeks of age,  eight weeks if you are an inexperienced owner.

The main issues around bringing puppies home too young need to be addressed by finding your puppy  another puppy or puppies of a similar age and size to play with, on a regular basis.  This will go some way towards helping to balance the disadvantages of being removed from the nest too young,  or of being a singleton puppy. If you have an older dog that will play sensibly with the puppy,  and teach him some rules without being too rough,  then that too will help. You will also need to make a lot of effort to handle this puppy a great deal.  Get her used to having her body touched all over, as often as you can. Sadly, we often get questions from puppy owners outside of Europe and North America that have bought puppies at three and four weeks old.   You can read more about these puppies in this article:  Too Young to Leave Mum Do think hard before bringing a young puppy home before he or she is eight weeks old. You are naturally impatient to collect your new puppy,  but six weeks is really too young.
