New member - 8 month old Dutchie owner!

Post by jmartin687 »

What a wild 6 months with our *new* Dutchie (Axel)! Before picking him up we already owned a Mali x Collie (Aston), we didn’t think it was possible to get a pup with more energy than he had/has, how wrong we were. Loving the challenge so far though, started his full obedience/protection training last month and he’s picked it up ridiculously quickly, as expected.
Can’t wait to work with him further!

John, Manchester.

Thank you! The boys have always played rough, but as the puppy has gotten bigger, our older dog sometimes takes it a little far and they need to be told. Other than that getting along just fine. We were dubious about getting another male, but slowly introducing them out of their crates seems to have worked well.

Yes Tim, was missing quite a large chunk when we picked him up (part of the reason we chose him). We suspect his mum or 1 of his siblings caused it.
