There are a couple of reasons to take a pup to the vet the first week you get them.
In Texas, the microchip is important if there is every a loose dog and ownership issue. In fact, our city has been paying for resident's dogs.
In males, if you want to show, they need both testicles. Obi has both of them. My conformation instructor thought so, I thought so, but its best to get it from the vet.
Free heart worm preventive.
So we have his records set up at the vet's office, he's chipped and has been declared healthy.
It took a while. The staff all had to play with him and socialization is part of the point.
