My new pup!

Member Introductions
  • Hey! This is my first post here and I want to introduce you to my dog Tom!
    I don't think I could have found a better pup for me. He's very energetic and he ate a couch, but we are trying to stop it, he's making progress and I'm sure that when he gets older he will calm down. I housebreaked trained him and thought"sit" and "come" myself (he's still not very good at coming). But, since i never had a dog before, I think we are doing just fine. It's just so good to come home and have that little ball of fur waiting for me!
    He is 8 months old now and he is changing everyone's lives back here. I got him 2 months ago, and found this website around then, but I was too lazy to subscribe :D

  • Welcome to our community!

  • Hi, welcome. Do you have any photos of Tom to share, we all like photos. Lot's of great information here on the forum and helpful people if you have any questions about the breed. My dog Kaiser(10 months) went through his second puppy stage at around 7-8 months and did a little destruction mainly his poor toys but is overall turning out to be a good dog. My best advice would be if you see a bad habit starting stop it as soon as possible other wise it could be a losing battle. Enjoy your pup.

    @elbrant That's how all my 8-some learned to catch. If food dropped on the floor - you lost it ! So they all stood on their hind legs and it was like feeding a nest of fledgling sparrows. A gentle toss of the treat and someone caught it !

    @jalex Well, Welcome back home to NJ. I got some nice doggy coats from an online store Dover. Made just like a horse blanket so they don't slip to the side when the dog is doing a B500 run. There is a Dover store in Del Hockessin that lets you take your pup in for try on if you are not into measuring. I got a nice rain coat and a good heavy winter blankie for my girl. Regular doggy stores have lots of cute sweaters. Not sure about the boots. Lost my Basenji girl a year ago so never had a chance to try the boots. I think a fellow made them for his dogs. Will try to get the link and see how he goes about it. If I find out I will pass it along.

    If this is the case, then I would guess it is from a Back Yard Breeder....

    Whatever she is, she's a little doll. It's nice to know that the displaced pups are finding such good homes.
