    Socialization Idea... and Question

    I realized today that there's a college campus 15 minutes from my house, full of young people who'd love to meet an adorable puppy. :facepalm: 45'F is a little cool for stranger cooperation... but maybe if the sun's out. ;)

    The Pup's Learning! :D

    The Pup's a'Learning! :D I had my first confirmation that Winston understands a concept rather than the individual requests I give him. O.o I brought him in and set him down - with the leash still on until I moved the cat food - and Winston headed towards it. Without really thinking it'd...

    If his little butt would ever sit still! Here's a quick vid of him in action in the meantime. :D

    The New Pup!

    So the saga continues... >.> The newest struggle - and the final one, I'd say - is between Winston and Higgins. :D The daughters are still pulling for 'question'... and 'crackerfeena'... However, their vote counts as 1 together. ;) We do so love Olin, though. Olin Winston? :> Either...

    Socialization Idea... and Question

    Great ideas... >.> Let me actually recount the pup's meetings; In 48 hours, he's met 13 people and ... 3 dogs. None of the dogs were within ten feet, though. I don't know that many safe, adult dogs... and he's so widdew. : \ I was considering making a trip to the daughter's class -...

    The New Pup!

    He's awesome! My favorite times with him are when my wife gets to enjoy the brief 'chilled out' pup when the kids are in bed. :) Names are crazy insane... we both love Winston (new suggestion tonight) and Olin (grandfather's name) but hadn't considered them before tonight. I do love...

    The New Pup!

    His mother is mini-schnau, and the father is unknown. The vet that delivered them said the pups looked like boxer pups, but I'm starting to doubt that's the case as his paws aren't much bigger than his legs - and his legs are short and his build overall stocky, not front-heavy as I'd assume a...

    The New Pup!

    My wife suggested that one early on and it's still in the running. It is cute, but I tend away from 'people' names. Besides, "Walter the Farting Dog" is already taken. :rolleyes: A good friend suggested Norman - which i could see - but i'm trying to ignore. :P

    The New Pup!

    Finally! :D (Couch damage from cats - he's blameless so far. ; ) His ears fall lopsidedly and man-o-man is he cute! He's also making it difficult to get a good pic of him - lol. :D He's doing great at house/clicker/training! It's tricky finding a way for the 2.5 yo to...

    Socialization Idea... and Question

    The pup we're considering will be @ 10 weeks when/if we bring him home. Those vital 2 weeks seem like hardly enough time to "see" as much as he can. In trying to come up with safe ways to meet people, I was considering taking the pup somewhere with a lot of foot traffic - local mall...

    Questions for breeder?

    That's quite a list; awesome additions I hadn't thought of yet! @Maxy, Only speaking from telephone conversations, I felt pretty comfortable with her sincerity. She spoke of previous mini schnau litters from this female and their colorings to the point that I believed her. Unfortunate...

    Questions for breeder?

    So we're going to meet the pup and, even after my years of reading and prep, I'm curious what questions I should ask about the pup while I'm at his birth home. Most information on the 'net about this tends toward questions for pure-breeders; and since we're looking at a mixed breed "accident"...

    Question re: overnight pup age

    Awesome... thanks for the ideas and experience; here's to hoping the pup adjusts well to his new sleeping arrangements. Tomorrow night's the first meeting! :D

    Question re: overnight pup age

    My wife asked me tonight, in preparation for our possible pup next week, how long it would be before we didn't have a whining pup overnights, comparing it to a newborn. :P I know a pup can be very similar, but I think she was mainly concerned about the length of time, as she doesn't have any...

    Won't Sleep at Night

    Sounds like it's time for hubs to spend some quality evening time with the pup. :P (Helpful and timely thread. ; )

    Finally... looking!

    Ha! There was a misunderstanding this entire time, and the pup we thought we had lost (and had thought female) is actually the boy we're going to visit Tuesday! It's the pup my wife first saw and wanted - ha! Here he is, proudly NOT wearing a pink collar. :p (The ear curls are adorable...
