Medical And Safety Issues for your puppy

It doesn't matter where you got your puppy from, visit you local veterinarian for immunization. One visit, however is not enough. Once the puppy is old enough, about 4 months, it's requires 3 doses over a period of 4 weeks and a Rabies immunization shot.

At home, make sure you introduce your new family member to other pets you in your home. Introduce slowly, it is not uncommon for bigger dogs to hurt the puppy because it wants to be "the leader of the pack".

And of course, make sure you supervise you puppy like you would an infant. Common sense would tell you not to leave your puppy near wires, choking objects, poison like pesticides. A puppy's toy should be much bigger than its mouth to prevent choking.
