Some good info there, thanks for sharing.

Sorry I haven’t updated in a while, this little guy is certainly eating our time as well as anything he can get his chops around! So.... at 13 weeks now and he’s certainly made our house his home. Thankfully his ear issues (thread elsewhere) have cleared up and his 2 day squishy poops came and...

Thanks for the advice and encouragement Terry!

Welcome on board Ange. You’ll find this place both friendly and helpful. Lots of great advice around.

Thanks pongo. Yes, he’s an angel when he’s tired! Currently being a devil dog and chewing everything in sight, especially me!

Ain’t got him to accept the leash yet unless he’s got a constant supply of treats dangled under his nose!

PS. Sorry for the cat post!

It’s terrible when it comes with no warning. We lost our dear cat custard earlier this year and DM is still devastated. We still cry together when we think of it but it does get easier...

So Diesel is doing great and this weekend will be his first walk in the big wide world, assuming he gets better on the leash! So looking forward to burning off a bit of his boundless energy! Only 2 speeds, sleep or flat out zoomies! Question; have any of the wise advisors who suggest no...

1 week in and what a rollercoaster! Diesel is now 9 weeks 2 days old and has already captured our hearts. I spent the week off work to bond and start training. He’s now eating properly although still only drinking dilute goats milk. Potty training not bad except when he gets excited! He’s...

Hi Beefy and welcome. What a sweet pup! I’m new as well but you’ll find the guys here very helpful and encouraging with the challenges ahead. How old is Molly? My bot Diesel is 9 weeks today and very much in the nipping phase! Don’t worry, it’s normal but try to get it under control. DD

Currently Diesels worst trait is biting. I know this is normal for an 8 1/2 week old but god it’s tiring and hard work to walk away every time he nips. Even harder when he’s grabbed my trousers and I end up dragging him across the room! It will pass... DD

Well his appetite is slowly getting better, bit of grated cheese on top of regular scoff is going down a treat! We had a planned visit to the vet today just for socialisation, meet the staff, look around waiting room etc. However this am Diesel had very waxy years and was scratching a lot so...

What an amazing story, hope it all goes well. As a first timer myself must also say you’re in for a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows. Stick with it and all will pay off. It’s like being a kid waiting for Christmas’s isn’t it!?

Yes, sleep is a relief!

Yes, he’s definitely in the cute phase! All big ears and oversize feet which don’t always go in the right direction. Just spoke with the breeder about lack of appetite and she says not to worry for now. Apparently Diesels last sibling left his mum yesterday and mum is also off her food! Poor...

He’s going to be a challenge this pup! We’ve clamped down on the nipping and toilet training going ok as long as we stick to the hourly routine of going out. Still not eating or drinking enough despite us sticking exactly to his previous diet. Possibly he’s not used to having it all to himself...

Thanks Judy, he has his second jabs due in 2 weeks so I’ll ask the vet then. DD
