She is a doll!!

I wouldn't stress terribly about training; sure it's important, but at this age building a strong bond with you, is, IMO, more important. I played and kissed and loved my puppy for at least a week before I taught him anything beyond his name and sit. He was so glued to me that training came easily.

Yeah, I'm so happy she loved me since she was my favorite. Funny how it worked out. Thanks, she's a devil but a cutie.



Bahaha, be my guest. You'll probably be bringing her back within a day. :rofl1:

And now, your daily dose of cute. This puppy <3 I'm leaving her for an extended period of time for the 1st time, today. Sad. We also stink at doing any training. She knows to sit when she wants something (plunks down in front of Wesley LOL), hand targeting, and we've been working on reinforcement for being in heel position. But mostly playing and tugging and cuddling and kissing. I've been trying to take lots of video/photos with the nice camera, but the iphone is so...there when you're exhausted from a puppy lol. But I've done it!

She R retriever dawg!


...Uh, yeah


You like my stick?


I LOVE MY STICK


Feisty always has to be doing 2 things at once. It's in her VEINS.


That's all for now. :D
Holy crap she's cute!

She....really doesn't do bad things LOL. Hasn't chewed up anything...is pretty easy puppy as long as we play and run and train a lot. She's a champion snuggler.

what an adorable pup! I love her markings!
Thanks! :)

And now the actual update.

Let's see. She turned 8 weeks old yesterday. I'm super in love with her. We went to Western Mass, VT, and CT, and she stayed overnight in 2 hotels. Did AWESOME. I love this puppy. Her attention span is improving rapidly. She's got confidence like woah, has not met a person she doesn't love. While on my sister's college campus in VT, she met sooo many people of all different sorts, ran up and kissed them all.

She ran over to my sister, who she has never met, and threw herself into her arms like they were bffs. The best part about this is, after she visits with people a bit, she looks back to me like, 'ok that was fun, but what are we doing now?'. Soooo in love with her, she is such a sweet smarty pants. We have done tons of restrained recalls and hand touches in bizarre locations and she's great. We went on a hike and she had a blast zooming around the trail. She had to be crated in the car for hours and rocked it, whining for 5 minutes or less before settling. Had her first bully stick, she dragged it all over the hotel room, frolicking with it. They fell in love lol. So yeah. <3

PICTURES! I'm compiling videos to make a monthly video of what we've done. So dorky. She turns 2 months on the 17th. :D

Moar pictures now! I need my Feisty fix.
Feist would like to go live with you and Hudson, I am sick (and boring) again.

Almost 2 weeks since last puppyupdate, let's see! Feist is 9 1/2 weeks, and as mentioned in the chaz puppies of 2013 thread, 9 lbs and approx. 10 1/2 inches. Slowly getting bigger! We have been having tons of fun, Feist is just such a great girl. Really loves on everyone she meets, but nice focus on me for a baby puppy. She's started doing a stalky walk and has some little herdy dog tendencies, but no problem behaviors have formed from that yet. It's pretty cute to see the instincts come out in such a baby dog.

Wesley and her are having the best time evah, although they are very sad that they have to learn to not play biteyface constantly. Judging from all the nicks on Wesley's neck, I'd say he's a little less sad than her. She is quiet in her crate, will work for food and toys and pets and loves to play with me, has figured out how to climb over the ex pen and bark at the bunnies, good good puppy all in all. She has earned the nicknames shark and devil puppy for not being very careful with her teeth, alas. :D

Her attention span is building at an alarming rate, housetraining is coming along nicely now that the dog beds have been removed (lolweird puppy), and she is having tons of fun new experiences. She tries to kill herself 10 times a day, I have never ever met a dog or puppy (or ANYTHING) with less self preservation than Feist, she really keeps me on my toes. One of her many nicknames is 'hip dysplasia', because everyone now yells that if she runs for the stairs. Which is 100 times a day. She is definitely an 'act now, think later' kind of gal. I can't believe I've had her for almost 3 weeks now! Time sure does fly.

PICTURE TIME.

Girl loves her pumpkins


Among the pumpkins (finally got her to stop eating them for 4 seconds)


Among the leaves


She has tenacity x10.


Wesley is the best big brother dog ever. <3


Tiny puppy, big beach


Open mouth, insert food


And last but not least, some sleeping baby pictures I never uploaded from her first night home. She was so tiny. Still is, but the short little muzzle. <3

her tugging form is terrible. Doesn't she know that it's hard to tug when she is on her head?

And yes, she needs to come live with me and Hudson. And she is still bigger than Hudson was at the same age.
