7. Can I come visit my puppy? Yes, but only after they have received their vaccinations, which is usually around 7 weeks of age. It takes 4 days for vaccines to take effect, so visitation is at 8 weeks. This is the safest scenario for the health of the pups. Also, it is stressful on the mothers to have unknown visitors with their pups.
8. Can I see the parents? Yes, the parents are always on the premises for viewing, if they have a litter on the ground.
9. Will my puppy have blue eyes? All full blooded Siberian Husky puppies are born with blue eyes. Around 5 weeks of age, the pigment will begin to darken and change the eye color, if it is going to change. The majority of our pups will keep their blue eyes. There is a chance of bi colored eyes, brown and blue or green and blue. Very seldom will we have an amber or brown eyed pup.
10. What will my puppy eat? Once the pups are weaned, they will be started on Royal Canin Medium Puppy. It is in a red and white bag and can be found at Petsmart and Petco. You can also do a search for your nearest dealer at www.royalcanin.com/us.
