You shouldn’t own a dog if you have to ask these questions. 7 weeks is also to young for the puppy to be away from its mother and litter mates

We give hot towel dry bath to my pup everyday with a bi-weekly proper bath schedule.

I greatly appreciate all the tips you gave regarding giving a dog a bath, specifically in cold weather. When I noticed that my dog has been playing around the garden more often, I knew that this means I would need to bathe it extremely soon. However, since the weather in my area hasn’t gotten any warmer, this may be a little tough, so I’ll look for any dog stylists or groomers who can show me how it’s done before trying it myself at home.

This really helps me…especially how often I have to bath my 7-month-old pup. Thanks

You will not believe the horror stories that dogs face at the hands of breeders in india. I’ve witnessed them myself.
I once rescued a cocker spaniel pup by paying off for it, it was infested with ticks and reduced to a skeleton. The guy was delighted that he was getting paid for it.
Unfortunately, most others have it much worse than that and the laws are too weak to deal with the problem. The police wont even take you seriously if you report all this.
Horrible as their lives are, i can vouch for the fact that the innumerable stray dogs here have a better life than the ones stuck with breeders.

Hi Manjeet, Please leave your puppy with the breeder until he is eight weeks old. This article explains why: https://www.thelabradorsite.com/when-can-puppies-leave-their-mother/

I have never found any type of brush that removes hair. So I bought a lint remover made for clothes. It has a slightly sticky surface that picks up loose lint on clothes and loose hair on a lab. He actually lays down and enjoys. As the surface is covered with the loose dog hair just peel off the sheet and you have a new one on the roller.
PS: I have a Lab that loves baths. When he smells I tell him its bath time and he runs up to the shower stall. When the temp is right I tell him to hop in and he does. I have a hand held sprayer. He stands perfectly still until I am done and gets out of the shower when I tell him to. I find this amazing, no training was involved.

LOL- never was an article more timely. My 12 and a half year old yellow Lab (who should be old enough to know better) took great delight in plunging into a muddy pool yesterday and came out looking more like a black Lab. Unfortunately I don’t have a garden hose, so it was just several basins of water and a LOT of scrubbing to get the worst of the mud off.
