good informaton!

My lil tyty is just 7 weeks old... but, he's climbing up and down steps, eating hard food, drinking water... playing roughhouse with his older brother and has a ferocious growl when he wants to play mean. I'm so glad its a long weekend, so i can really observe and interact with him. He does need to sleep though, a lot since he's a puppy. Puppy shots start next week. Until then, quarantine in the house. Thanks for the very informative post! I didn't know that either. It's been so long since I haven't had a puppy or dog from a pound or rescue.....

I wish I knew about this one month ago. Guess I better get to work if it's not too late.

I have used this list to make sure Paco is being appropriately socialized. He is doing so well. Today was a new experience. He found a place in the lane that is filled with leaves and I wondered what he would think of the crunchy surface... he did great. He has such a good temperament. He is willing to try anything as long as he can look at me from time to time to be sure it is ok! LOL
I am so enjoying this journey!

Suzn, our chis are close to the same age. Tyson (Tyty) just turned 5 months on the 9th. When I come home from work, he just calmly sits on my lap and it feels so good to have him there. My little rat terrier was locked in a cage at the pound for most of his socializing period, so he is so needy, can't get close enough to me, really in my face poor guy. But, Tyson is so calming and just so adoring, but in a not needy way. He is extremely protective though and can put up a fierce growl when he doesn't want the other puppies getting near me....lol... I tell him no, but I can tell that's not going to change. He's always gonna wanna be numero uno! lol.

Thx for the info! My litter is 9 days old and it's the first for my female. When do you actually handle the pups w/o gloves? I may be over pre cautious, but I'm learning as I go

If my friend give me one of the litters.
Actually, I have tried this one with my beagle before. It's a very good one.. SWEAR!
