Default Kastle van het Basjes Huis

Picked up my new puppy this week. Kastle van het Basjes Huis. He is awesome! I am really, really pleased with him thus far.

He is ENORMOUS it seems to me anyway - and really fluffy!


He loves to bite and tug:


He will even retrieve



I'm entirely smitten already!




His sister, Eden, is very thrilled with him too:




Here is Kastle and his half-brother, Ike van het Basjes Huis:




And Kastle and Pantalaimon vom Geistwasser:



I've started some basic clicker training with him - charging his name and such. He is VERY food driven so it's really fun

Jason's giving me a ton of help on positioning and exercises appropriate for a pup this young and drivey:

The dogs' names in my signature link to their individual blogs that I keep updated with photos and videos of what we're working on...if anyone is interested.

Thanks for looking!!!

He is simply ADORABLE!!! I love the pictures of him with Ike, Pan, and Eden, so precious!

I think you've got yourself a little coatie - here is Halo at around that age:



Body double?

You have a point! He does look just like that. The breeder, the sire's owner and a few other people are betting he will turn out with a shorter coat. I have no idea and no experience so it will be a surprise for me LOL

Putting my vote for "coatie" in early! The fur on Halo's body is nowhere near as long as Keefer's, (there seems to be quite a bit of variation among LCs) but her ear hair is actually longer than his. Her coat is very thick and plush, and soft too. I'm guessing Kastle's coat will be very similar.

If Kastle ends up looking like Halo, then I might have to come steal him!
