So, Oskar has been registered with our local vets (Avenue Vets, Grantham) and he has been signed up for KC Good Citizen (...) classes that start at the end of April - so all is ticking along nicely.
A few things I have noticed thus far....:
In my ignorance I'd 'skilfully' forgotten how much energy pups have. Archie (12 this year) is the only other dog I've had from a pup. BUT it's not that bad. Keeping him amused is fine (lots of chewable toys and chicken wings to distract from chewing naughty stuff) and to be fair he sleeps (and snores) often throughout the day.
Blimey his teeth are sharp and I have the scars to prove it
The other three dogs are fine with him. Archie keeps out of his way, Milly ignores him...only Ben (attention seeking lab-x) puts him in his place and to be fair he needs that.
He is sleeping brilliantly and is quiet (and cosy and mostly clean) in his crate at night.
The key is to keep him busy and distracted - to wear him out (although walks are being kept short to let him grown into his gangly puppy legs). And with his harness on, he is being taken everywhere...and with that in mind....we're off out :)
