To be honest, Flints behaviour has improved... It’s as if he’s trying to lead by example or perhaps he’s saying to Merlin ‘haha.. look at me, I’m the best doggie!’...
Play time and whippet bittie face is quite good and we are just making sure we control this! Both are getting individual time out...
Hi all...
Flint and I would like to introduce you to our new addition.....Merlin.
Flint is now 16 weeks and is a complete pleasure
Merlin is 8 weeks and 4 days and a little tinker!
Merlin arrived on Sunday... and so far, all good :D
Hi @Michele83 ... sorry I’m a bit late picking up this thread.... I bought Flint an antler a couple of weeks ago, I initially was put off by the price, but it has proved to be a god send! He chews on it peacefully for hours! And as yet, has made no impact on it! It’s more or less the same as it...
Looks like poor Flints teeth are rather hurting him, my hand is like a pin cushion! He has an Antos Antler which he loves and does seem to help, along with a cold carrot, but are any of the products you can get to put on his gums any good? Or is there anything natural which I can give him which...
:D
:D
Thank you both for your suggestions.... these are the ones we have on our list, but think we’re swaying towards Ace..... I love Blue, but my friends Blue whippet is called Blue! Damn it!..... still open to suggestions though please... :p
Ace
Diesel
Echo
Pebble
Sky(e)
Slate
Ice
Smokey...
Thank you
It’s a Ruffwear web master harness, if you go onto the Ruffwear website it gives you a list of stockists, I got mine from mountaindog.uk, it was cheaper than on the Ruffwear site.
They aren’t cheap :eek:... but I got it because Flint is a bit of a Houdini when it comes to harnesses...
@leashedForLife thank you for taking the time to provide your advice, it is appreciated :)
I work part time, OH is self employed and the job he does he can take the dogs with him. My son is 13, my daughter 25. My parents are retired and live 5 mins walk away. Our social life revolves around my...
I’m sure there’ll be plenty :p
Not a definite name yet... at the moment we like Ash, Ace, Diesel..... but open to suggestions! Want something a bit different that reflects his colouring but also goes well with Flint!:rolleyes:
Haha...no problem @JudyN ..... yeah I’m aware of ‘littermate syndrome’ I’ve read about it, looked into it and saught advice. Both the boys are from the same experienced breeder and she has given me guidance. I’ve also spoken with people whom have brought up 2 pups and understand the highs and...
Yes totally mad!! He arrives in just over 3 weeks! He’ll be 8 weeks!..... but we thought, let’s get this puppy stuff done and dusted in one fell swoop! :rolleyes: :D
Just an update with some photos...
He is a dream! He’s still Mr Cheeky! But he’s learnt his bite control and is now rather gentle when enjoying my hand and I’ve only got 1 mark on my hand at the moment and that’s from him missing his toy and getting my hand instead! He’s much calmer when...
Yay!! Go me! :D:D:D
These are ‘honest Mam, it wasn’t me’ eyes! :rolleyes:
I’m currently working on ‘drop’, ‘stay’ and ‘come’...... but I’ll be interested in ‘spin’ ... sounds like something my mischievous lil man would enjoy :p
What a good boy he is! No accidents for over a week, actually telling us when he needs to go out! Sleeping all night in his crate with no crying, changed to what will be his regular food. Sit, paw, lie down, fetch :p! Still working with the ‘time out’ when overly excited and the biting and...
I found Petplan and the kennel club the best options for me. Although both were within the top 5 dearest.... And I finally bit the bullet and went with Petplan today after going through all the fine detail. My reason is, I’m thinking long term and god for bid I hope my little man never develops...
Haha..... I can see mischief written all over his face in this pic.....
Mam.... it wasn’t me! I didn’t dig up the plant or chew your favourite trainer!
