Hello there,
We have been logging on to COL for the past few weeks and have been enjoying reading and looking at everyone elses photos.
We have finally got round to putting on some photos of our new puppy Skye. We got her in september and she has been keepng us busy!
She is doing very well with house training and she goes to puppy socialisation classes on a Wednesday evening.
We are very proud of her! Is that normal?
PS the breeder told us not to let her go up and down stairs.... to allow time for her bones and hips to develop.
Does anyone know at what age you should allow a puppy to attempt the stairs?
PPS ...you may notice we are having trouble trying to resize our photos!!! sorry

Hi, and welcome, good advice. She is :luv:

She's beautiful :luv: :luv:
We've started to let Betty go down the stairs sometimes and she's almost 6 months. I carry her down occasionally but she's quite heavy now. I wouldn't mind knowing if that's ok as well.

Ahh how lovely, Shadow is 15 weeks and runs up and down the stairs we have tried to stop him blocking them off etc etc but he just thinks there is something great going on up there. Hope he wont be damaged by it :embarassed:

Try to avoid contact with stairs until 6 months or more, I agree.

Awww she is adorable, Callie is 5months and we let her go up and down the stairs (only morning and night really) now but we did try and stop her as much as possible until about 4 months, after that it was hard to stop her!

We have a blue roan girl called Ruby aged 18 months who we love to pieces! :D

We also were told not to let her up and down the stairs for the same reason Bones and hips, its is hard trying to stop them, a stairgate could be the answer.Must be something in the breeders advice, if more than one says the same thing. PS she looks fabulous.
-
What a beautiful puppy you have. :luv: We have an open plan living area so a stair gate was a must for Murphy, he's a strong willed and now physically strong 5 month old! ::)
-
Puppy looks really similar to mine, check out her photos....when I eventually get around to loading them on here!!!

Ahhhhh! She is beautiful!
I'm sorry I'm not much help on the stair issue (or being careful with your pups joints/bones). With a kid in the house, another dog and a steep terraced back garden with steps all the way up.. it's just not possible to stop my pup pounding himself a bit.. I've decided to relax on the whole issue but time will tell I guess!
Love to see some more pics of her when you have time :luv:
