Ditto what maddog said, for now, stay away from dog parks, Petsmarts, etc. I also worry about health of strange dogs.
I get my pups out as young as 6 weeks, the pups I have now have been going out several times a week for a run since they were 6 weeks old, but I only go to places where I know if any dogs go, they are healthy and well cared for.(no fleas, etc) I don't even like walking around the neighborhood until all boosters are done with.
When I go to the vet for something, I go in w/o the pup until he is ready to be seen, then carry in and out.
If you have access to property no one goes to, or any dogs that do are kept up well, by all means run the pup, get her on birds and have some fun with her.
Good luck with your new addition!!
