MacInnes, known as Puck, is a grinder â sailingâs equivalent of a football lineman. With their brawn, he and other grinders operate hand-powered winches that raise and trim the sails, move the boom and do other tasks that require brute strength. But MacInnes has fallen victim to legal maneuvering and technology.
A study of a cross section of puppies showed that at 6 weeks, only 25 percent of puppies vaccinated were effectively immunized. At 9 weeks, that increased to 40 percent. At 16 weeks, 60 percent responded to the vaccination, and at 18 weeks, that number increased to 95 percent.
The regimen of puppy care usually begins the first time you bring your pup to the vet (between 8 to 10 weeks of age). Your pup will have a full physical exam, de-worming and some initial vaccines. If your pup had his first vet visit before you brought him home, be sure to have those records on hand.
