I'm glad he's growing up. Adorable puppy but I'm ready for him to be an adult lol. He's come a long way and I'm thrilled. His focus is so much better now! I know I'll look back in a year or so and wish he was a puppy again but for now, I'm so happy to be past potty training and new puppy vet visits and all that. I'm so excited to see how he fills out!!!
I love the puppy stage because they are so little, cute, loving and innocent but I am always excited about them growing up and having bigger bladders. :laugh:
Ha I agree!. Especially with Xena. She always pees when she gets excited and meets a new person. Everyone is always washing their feet afterwards. I can't wait till she grows out of that,
he's a chicken lol. Still very much a puppy, curious about everything. Determined. He's actually a really good boy and he tries so hard to behave himself but his energy level really picked up at about 6 months old so he's always moving around. He's friendly but alert. Like if we're out on a walk and someone walks past us, he'll practically turn himself inside out to watch them until he feels they're at a safe distance. He listens to everything, alert. He likes attention but over stimulates still so we're working on that. Pretty much he's a pretty good boy, not as confident as I would like him to be but once he does something a couple times, he's pretty well fine with it after that. He whines a lot, especially when he cant be right there with me or isn't getting his way which is to be right up my butt all day and night or out the same time Shasta is all the time, he's vocal. I'm sure if I had more training options available we could work on some serious confidence boosters and his confidence would be out of this world. He's determined, doesn't like to give up when he wants something. He has a ton of potential, I'm sure. Just have to unlock it. But like I said, still very much a puppy. Am intensely curious as to his adult personality as he matures.
what i love about the 7-10 months stage (especially with ddr dogs) is that at this age they look like full grown adults. to strangers they look fierce and ready to take down a lion but in truth behind closed doors they still acts like puppies. mine just turned 9 months and he still whines like a big baby
yeah, he's actually thickened up more than I realized until I really looked at him from last month to this month. Still ALL puppy though. It cracks me up when people see him and are like OMG HE'S HUGE!!!! nah... not really. Should see my female! She's got at least 10 lbs on him but looks like she's got more. She's my thick girl.
but really, he does look like an adult. I'm anxious to see him all filled out and done growing. I cant wait to compare THOSE pictures!
