Hello from Illinois

My fiancé and I just got our German Shepherd puppy Eko 2 weeks ago. We got our Sheltie/Rat Terrier mix Foxy back in May. My fiancé and I have had dogs our whole lives but mostly they were our parents. So there has been some speed bumps and questions. Just reading through a lot of the threads you guys have answered a lot of questions that have come up with having two puppies. I just wanted to thank all of you for the great help!

Now time for some puppy pictures.

Welcome from Michigan :-) and Congratulations on your 2 puppies!!!! They are both adorable!!!!! Pretty soon Eko will out size Foxy in no time ;-)

Luckily for Foxy she should always be faster than Eko. I don't think I have ever seen a dog faster than Foxy.

So it will be the age old battle of speed vs strength.

Adorable pups! Nice family you have there.

What part of IL are you from?

How lucky is he to have all those other puppies to play with! Can't wait to see them all grow.

Yeah its going to be great to see them all grow up together. After seeing all the puppies my brother got a little envious and is now thinking of getting one of his own, so the pack might be growing soon

I am from the Joliet area. Just purchased our house 2 months ago and we are getting married at the end of the month. So there has been a lot of change and new things going on recently.

Welcome! I'm from Illinois too (Chicago). Your puppies are adorable, but isn't 6 weeks a little young to bring home a puppy? (unless I misunderstood the age...)

They must be a handful! Are you taking puppy classes?

Congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy life together!
