i'm newly registered here, though i have been browsing through this forum for a while now for research. so, hello!

to the point. i have a 10 week old puppy that i have had for 2 weeks now. his name is grimm. love the little guy. he is taking to his crate well and i normally take him out three times a night. i would say he is very close to housebroken though an occasional accident may occur (usually my fault for zoning out and not realizing how much time has passed). he is eating fairly well though he tends to graze when i put food out. i dont want to free feed but he wont take the time to stop and eat his food all at once, so if he hasnt finished within an hour i take it up. he was just over 6lbs when i got him and gained 2.5 lbs in a week. he was bit of a runt. you could tell one of his brothers was hogging mommy's milk (he was huge, lol). i have been training sit and touch and his name but mainly just bonding with him. i am using clicker training, tab289 and kikopup on youtube are freaking awesome. i have two children (5 and 8) who unfortunately i only have every other weekend but he has taken to them very well so far. he has been to the vet twice now. once for a wellness check and once for his second round of shot and deworming (well the breeder dewormmed him a few times prior to me getting him...). he seems very heathly and happy.

mainly i just wanted to say hi and thank everyone for the valuable insight i have recieved already from this forum. any advice or comments are welcome. i a m sure i will have a few questions (prolly a lot) soon.

the pic is him at 8 weeks.

Welcome, your little furball Grimm is a handsome little one. Yes there is lots of valuable information on this site. Sounds like you are off to a good start and have a pretty good handle on things.
