[PyrNet-L] bathing puppy,

["ARIEGE" <ARIEGE@xtra.co.nz>]

No reason at all Katie. We quite often bath pups at that age before they
leave here.  Just make sure he doesn't slip in the bath, use a rubber non
slip mat, rinse him well and make sure you dry him completely afterwards.
The first bath can leave a lifelong impression on him and the bathroom!! If
you use a hydrobath you may need someone to hold him and stop him trying to
get out. Discussion last week mentioned the driers and how some Pyrs don't
like them so start the drier off on low until he seems to accept it.  I
think at this age it's important to ensure the puppy is well dried. Good
luck.
