Is it safe for my 9-week-old puppy to potty outside in the garden?

Question

I'm a new own of a puppy cavapoo who is 9 wks tomorrow (14 june). She had her first set of vaccines on 5 june. Her breeder said its fine for her to go in my garden. I have done so as she is actually very good toileting outside. Now I'm sick with worry that i have put her at risk of infection. What can/ should i do? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 1 day old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! She should be fine going out in your yard. There is a fine line between socialization, house training and exposing the puppy to infectious disease. Most of the worrisome disease are from direct dog to dog contact from sneezing/coughing or fecal-oral. I think your yard is fine. I do not recommend contact with other puppies or dogs are not vaccinated. Keep her up to date on her DHPP by getting it every 3-4 weeks until she receives 2 past 12 weeks of age. I wish you the best!
