OK, so I made the three hour trip to get a puppy. my goodness. He's 7 months old and looks like he could be Jade's brother. At first Jade didn't want anything to do with him, even nipped at him when he came up to her. In her defense she'd had an hour and a half car ride, it was hot and she needed a drink. Lets not mention she was in a new place, a dog park with LOTS of new scents.
Guiness is 7 months old and it's obvious previous owners didn't spend time with him. AT his age Jade knew sit, stay, come, down, heel, byby car. He knows sit, thats it. He's ALL puppy! at 41 pounds he's jumping all over me, all over the house. Jade loves playing with him. They are about the same size as Jade is 54 pounds. But that wouldn't stop Jade from being alpha, last weekend when Biko was over, I swear that dog is 150 if not heavier! And Jade dominated!
So I took a shower, without closing the door, and next thing I know I have a dog in my shower!!!! He comes in, starts playing in the shower, leaves, shakes off, and gets back in! So I get out, dressed, and decide he needs a bath. I start running the bath water and in he jumps, playing! I SWEAR I've never seen a dog enjoy a bath! I couldn't stop laughing. He was jumping around, playing with the running water, and making one huge mess!
I already know they didn't potty train him correctly, as they said he had pooped in him crate. Well, they gave him to me and the crate, and my car smelled so bad! I was pissed about that! Well, no wonder. The crate they gave me is big enough for the St. Benard or Mastiff size dogs as well as being a wire kind. He needs a smaller more den like. I will be putting Jade on a blanket next to my bed tonight, and let him sleep in her crate. I haven't been crating her anyway.
