Yes they can go outside. Puppies can go outside in their own yards as soon as they can walk. Immunity from the Mom lasts almost 19 weeks according to Dr. Jean Dodds, the vaccine expert.
She does not recommend vaccinating before then as she says the vaccine won't take as long as the pup is still immune from its dam.
Friends are fine as long as they have had their first shots, but because your Mom vaccinated so early, you better wait until after the third shot to walk them outside your own yard.
