To be honest, if she were my dog, I wouldnt be too worried about walking her at all. For the time being, I am sure she would be content with getting outside to do her business and a little potter about the garden.

For her (or her owners) to carry back infection to the pups is not worth the risk.

I agree with this too.

Me too, i wouldn't want to risk the health of the pups.

Surely, potentially, if she comes into contact with infectious disease, (including things that can't be vaccinated against) , the pathogen could be passed on to pups even if she doesn't develop the infection?

As long as mum is fully vaccinated it should be ok I would think, but if there is kennel cough in the area I would avoid walking in public places.

Hi, I was just wondering about the infection risk? If Mum is walking in public areas and could come into contact with infectious disease? I know they might have some latent immunity, but is it worth the risk? T x

I normally say a short walk 10-20mins max try to make sure she is not away from pups for too long, then just let her back with the pups, but if she is cold/wet dry/warm her first.
