The test was pretty cool, they made a whole packet of information about the breeds, how the test was determined, etc.
Min pin and great Dane :-) Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]
Our new kitty we rescued. She was a true feral cat living along the river.
We were walking along and my wife took a gamble and just snatched her up and adopted her. Got her fixed, shots, the whole nine.
We haven't been able to come up with a name that sticks, but she makes a noise very similar to the noise the predator makes, plus she's a freakin beast that likes to fight, so we've been calling her predator. It's a female cat, but you can tell she's a huntress that loves to kill.
Here's our newest pup. Pictures from when we picked him up from the breeder. He wouldn't leave that blanket. She ended up having to send the blanket home with us.

Very cute. I saw a rescue when I got Cooper that looked almost identical.
Anyone have suggestions or trial and error tips for pups?
Anything is welcome for training, housebreaking, diet, grooming ( for me especially dealing with keeping his face clean from weepy eyes), vaccinations, etc, etc.
I found a suggestion for socializing him with older dogs who don't want all that puppy craziness of taking them out for extended periods to tire them out and then putting them together for a few hours. Does wonders for introducing the pup, and incorporate him with established dogs. Really warms the older dog(s) up to taking on a protective / mentor role as opposed to creating stress, jealousy, and aggressive bad behavior. [Reply]

That's a cute little dog you have there. It'd be a shame if something happened to it.... [Reply]
