Holly loves that position too!  not very elegant as Peegee says lol!  She is nearly 13 months.  She will also sleep like that with her head over the edge of the sofa!  Dave is super cute!  

I would definitely be concerned especially if there is no wee.  Holly didn't poo for about 36 hours after we brought her home but she was weeing every couple of hours.  Could he be going somewhere out of sight?  My friend thought her Jack Russell pup wasn't weeing and then found he was going...

Hi Chipper Please don't be tempted to take her at 6 weeks.  Its way too young and she will miss out on a lot of essential learning that she can only get from her litter mates which will only help build her confidence in the next few weeks.   We took our Holly (GSD) to puppy classes run by our...

Happy Birthday gorgeous boy!  He still looks like a pup!

We're huge kong fans!  Holly has five of varying shapes and colours!   I try and alternate them so she doesn't get bored particularly if I'm using them when we go out! She goes nuts for the puppy kong filler but as its a bit expensive I use it sparingly with some of her food of treats mixed...

Hi & welcome Some great advice from Joanne especially if you can move the crate into your room at night!   We had problems with Holly at the start in her crate.  It wasn't possible to have the crate in our room (due to its size) so on the third night I slept next to her in the kitchen so i...

I'm only walking Holly very first thing in the morning at the moment.  We were out at 7am this morning and even that was pushing it.  My husband was going to take her last night but at 10pm it was still 25 degrees and she was still very hot so we abandoned that idea!  A friend of a friend runs...

Wet towel is a good idea!  I think I'll give that a go today and maybe tonight upstairs!  Its not as if the carpets not going to dry out! One thing we are doing is spraying the grass outside with just enough water to make it wet but not saturated.  Holly isn't keen on the hose unless my...

I came on to post almost exactly the same thing!  Holly is really having a hard time especially at night!  She's a short haired GSD but I don't think that's making any difference at the moment! She's also choosing not to lie on the cold floor and at night wants to be upstairs with us but then...

When Holly started doing it she was still crated and he bedding was so wet that we thought she was having accidents!  We couldn't work out thoug,h how she was managing to go right on the corners of her bed and why it didn't smell!  And then we realised it was just from where she was sucking it...

Thats exactly what Holly does excuseme, with either her blanket or mat, she sort of scrunches up to make a shape she can suck!  Maybe I should ask her breeders if either of her parents do it! Biker John - Holly is on the sofa too.  We said no dogs on the furniture but that has been an epic...

Holly frequently sucks her mat/bedding to get herself off to sleep when she's tired!  Is this normal? She started doing it when her adult teeth came in and I used to think it was to ease the teething sensation but now its obviously a comfort thing! She does look incredibly cute while she's...

We had a day of this on Monday, I managed to get Holly out for about 30 mins while it eased off slightly but she wasn't overly keen.  I got lots of accusing looks in between her trotting along with her head right down. I'm fairly lucky as for a 9 month old GSD pup she is fairly calm in the...

Yay!  I'm so glad its still going well!   Sounds like your boy and my Holly are similar dogs!  Obviously crates just weren't for them!

Holly is now 8 months and the chewing really started in earnest when her adult teeth came in around the 5/6 month mark.  We've had a german shepherd before and she was really chewy until she was about 18 months old so we knew what to expect with Holly!   I think its partly teeth still, partly...

Oh I'm so pleased!  Sounds like your boy had the same issues with Holly and whatever they were exactly, you and I will probably never know! I felt a failure over the crate too especially as everywhere seems to really promote it but at the end of the day you have to do what keeps you sane as...

We ditched the crate with Holly very reluctantly around the 4-5 month stage (there is another thread on here about that), but for no obvious reason she had stopped wanting to go in it - she would also go in happily up until that point!. She had always woken really early from the time we got her...

Gorgeous dogs everyone! Here is Holly aged 8 weeks and a more recent one!

I think its partly attention seeking but she also seems to just love the ripping! I may just keep with the mats and blankets as its the stuffing which is a nightmare to clean up plus she seems to like eating it!! Dogmatize - I think it was the Tuffies one I was looking at, I was just a bit put...

Hi, welcome and congrats on your new pup! We also have a GSD pup, her name is Holly and she is now 8 months! She's had her fair share of runny poos, some I suspect down to eating something dodgy in the garden, some during car journeys and some are just down to excitement. It all seems to...
