Her behaviour of being petrified doesn't sound like typical puppy behaviour either, she should be curious. A friend of mine got a pug puppy just before xmas and within minutes of being brought into the flat, he was all over the place, checking it out, and he doesn't smell at all of anything.
If you have allergies already, why get a dog? Oh, yes, because your boyfriend wanted one.
Simple: what's the view on washing dogs these days? When we had ours in the 1980s to early '90s, the advice was to wash him only if he got dirty or muddy, but normally a wash wouldn't be needed. As a result, ours was washed with shampoo just once a year, and rest of the time, he was just rinsed with water. Fabulous long silky coat, though. |
I never was allergic to pets and i have cats for 7 years i have no idea why they start up now. The puppy is fine now just was getting use to its surroundings as for smell we bathed her yesterday but she still smells a bit like wet dog. I dont think the person who had her bathed her at all. I am a clean freak as it is and have a cupboard full of cleaning stuff of whici i added to today with airwick odour stop and dettol, odour stop is not bad actually will have to see how long the doggy smell stays away though as i only got it.
Missy is trying to eat me alot and i am diverting her attemtions to the toys i bought her which works for a short time, and one the cats is now at least sittting on one side of me staring at the dog in fear. All well, have to get her to vets for a check up as she not to steady on the feet. ____________________ All the breast.

heh heh heh......
So so so much more fun to come......
Three of my good mates have all got puppies recently, a border, a black lab and a labradoodle I think (not sure).
But I love em. Great to play with. And I love the fact that I don't have to chase around picking up their poo......
Purely out of curiosity but whilst you're sniffing and sneezing and coping with the allergies (you poor thing), can you see if the "rubbing his nose in it trick" works the next time your lab leaves a present for you indoors. It's worked with the black lab but the other two just run around with poo/piss on their faces and go relieve themselves in a different corner...... ____________________ current bike: GSX-R 750 K6 stolen, found the next day in a van in Durham, returned to me 3 months later costing me my NCB and my excess...

The questions that you're asking are relatively basic and you really should have done your homework before purchasing something that WILL change your life - sometimes I despair about people who buy Pets on a whim.
That said I would advise that you get in contact with your local vet and ask if they do a 'Puppy Evening' where new owners can visit along with a handful of others - this will allow you to be educated a little with regard to what you've let yourself in for and also introduce your Puppy to other animals which will help with its' social interaction skills.
Also I would suggest a Puppy Training course, they're not expensive and ususally combine interaction with other similarly aged Dogs and the basics (sit, stay, heel, etc) which will help you understand and train your new Puppy.
Also try this link...
Puppy Post
Sign up and you'll receive a starter pack which contains some useful documents and also (more importantly) a weekly email which runs chronologically with your Puppy's age and gives you hints and tips on things to look out for as your Puppy matures into a fully grown adult.
Keep your Puppy stimulated, happy and well trained and you'll reap the benefits later in life. ____________________ Mellow Yellow

How the fuck can you tell that from that photo?
Just because you have some dogs it would appear to make you an expert on everyone elses dogs eh!

I didn't say anywhere I was an expert, I'm sure you ramble about lots of bike related things without being accused of being a GP racer or a WSBmechanic? Just because you have 'some bikes'
I don't just have some dogs as you put it...I train, breed, excersise, work and live with my dog. I also care about their welfare. Because they are my passion I spend most of my free time split between my dogs, bf and my bikes.
It was an open 'ask' by the thread starter for opinions, I gave mine.
I've spent time at canine defence with their dogs that people cannot handle what they've taken on, because they don't od enough research and buy a dog 'for christmas'... I hope missy doesn't end up being tossed between owners.
That pup could possibly be 8 weeks, even if it is it should still be with it's litter mates. We keep our pups until they are atleast 10 weeks. I'd say she's more like 7. Having reared 4 litters of pups and helped out with 2 more I think I also have an above average perception of a dogs age and development.
Most breeders seem interested in a quick profit not the welfare of the animal, most of these breeders don't bother with papers, arn't interested in fit healthy puppies that live long lives, just the quick £150 they get in 7 weeks ____________________ Insta - FemFeral |

I had two boxers, lovely temperment and very playful, great with kids and so on. We bred one of them twice and kept one of it's first litter, who must be 8 or 9 now. The mother was put down last year due to cancer, which I hear is very common in older Boxers. Lovely dogs though. ____________________ Northern Irish? www.nibikers.com |

Proper Working dogs that are also pets, these three work 2-3 times a week this time of year.
Take them for a walk and if there's water anywhere near they're in it! Muddier the better. Thirsty? Paddle in the puddle until it's very Murky, then drink!
Middle one is the Mother of the other two, couldn't decide which one of the eight to keep. So two it was. She goes crazy for Rabbits where we holiday in the summer, her daughters aren't too bothered, it's their rest season!
Spaniels are great dogs. ____________________ I haven't had a cont all day, drinkstable. |
