Hi, I'm checking out this forum to get some info on puppies.
I have never had puppies before, and now I have TWO.
We haven't picked out names yet. I'm very open to suggestions.
I have to have them picked out this weekend.
We have a boy and a girl, born in September of this year.; brother and sister.
The boy is twice as big as the girl. He kind of resembles a little boxer puppy.
The girl was the smallest of the litter; has more of a pug type of face. She has a permanent little pout on her face.
Right now we have them both in a kennel at night. During the day we are putting them in a small bathroom with papers and toys. They seems to be doing well on the housebreaking.
I need to ask a couple questions of more experienced puppy owners. These two puppies get along great; most of the time. When they fight, they bite hard, and get reall aggressive. I think it's just puppy play, but I worry they are really going to hurt each other - or just keep going at it when we aren't at home during the day.
Should we put them in a Kennel during the day when we are away also? Put them each in their own seperate kennel so that they can't play together or use the paper? They are using the paper very well and also going outside when we take them. We will eventually phase out the paper, but needed to see how they were doing first. With living in Minnesota in the winter, and the way our house is set up, taking them outside every time I think they should try to go isn't working out well.
Any advise and help would be great.
Also, help with names please!!!
Thanks!!
