Kittens can be introduced as soon as you get her home provided they have had their jabs. She can have her first jab at 8 weeks and her second at 12 weeks. She can go in your garden before then but you can't walk anywhere else till she's had both jabs.

Nik is dead right with the vaccine times. I'd say the kittens can be introduced immediately (as long as they have had all their shots and things). I wouldn't necessarily force them to be together or encourage play but just having the kittens around will habituate them to the pup and vice versa. Ask your vet what his views are on carrying pups. Some vets do say that you can carry pups around after their first injections - this will habituate that dog to noises and surroundings and stop any suspicion later on as the majority of their behaviour and reactions to every situation for the rest of their lives are decided within the first 12 weeks - strange but true. Also, it's worth noting that Guide Dog pups (which tend to be labs or lab x golden rets) are vaccinated a couple of weeks early so that they can go out earlier as habituation is so very important to their training. You could ask your vet about that too. Basically, be led by your vets advice!

At 8 weeks they have the first injection, and then 10 - 12 weeks the 2nd injection (depending on vet) and then they are fine to go out after 10 days.
Not sure about the kitten bit - sorry

Different vets have different routines, according to what type of vaccine they use & whether there have been outbreaks of disease in your area. Ring them up & ask. Usually, you need to keep your puppy in for a week or so after the last injection. I would introduce the kittens as soon as possible.
Hopefully, you have bought your puppy from a breeder who has hip scored & eye tested the parents?

The best plan is to dicuss this with your vet,injections should be
topped up every year.I would be inclined to let all the animals run to-gether,but keep an aye on them.

Lovely breed but be aware they are very boisterous only calming down when they're about six. They are gently and a very loyal friend.
