More Chipper photos

[ramanth]

For those who missed it, Andy and I got a new pup which you can read about here: http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=116858 :D

Took a few photos of Chipper last night. Took them without the flash so you can get a better idea of his colors. None of Kia and Chipper together yet. Whenver they play I always closely supervise to make sure it is play and not him trying to be dominant or if he's merely picking on Kia, I'll put him in a time out.

When I got home from work I was pleasently surprised to find that he didn't have an accident in his crate. It does appear that he threw up a little though. I took both pups right outside where he peed, got praised and was given treats.

He didn't get bathed like originally planned because stupid me forgot his vaccination records at home. So he's rescheduled for tomorrow. Third times a charm I guess. Vet records are now in my purse so no chance of forgetting again!

So instead we went for a nice long walk. He pulled a lot so I'm considering getting a halti. He's very strong and my arm is now sore.

After their dinner he began to pounce from toy to toy. He brought me his stuffy wanting to play tug which I happily obliged. When the toy ripped (oops!), he decided to play with his rope toy. Kia pounced on him and they quickly tired themselves out with their play.

He's only asked to go out twice since we got back and both times he peed to which he got lots of praise and treats.

Now they are winding down.

And now for what you've come for... photos!

One of the funny ways he sits... see how he bends his leg?

Chipper is such a great looking boy!! He does put his leg in an awkward position dosent he?? Silly boy!

[k9krazee]

Wow, I love how unique his coloring is! Sounds like he's settling in nicely :D And I've never seen a dog sit like that before..that's crazy!

[Sevaede]

He is so adorable! He looks so happy to be there (tongue or no. :p)! :D

I still think he's part Lundehund. :o

Chipper is such a beautiful boy. I love the third picture of him! :)

[areias]

He looks shepherd/shar-pei to me. I guess I could see basenji, but if you look at shar pei mixes, they look similar. I mean on a quick look, here's some sharpei/shepherds:

Anyways, he's really cute! Love the bowed out elbows :)

[ramanth]

Interesting! I'd never consider that cross. :)

[elizabethann]

My, what large ears you have Chipper. You really are a doll. And I hope your family posts more & more pictures of you on PT.

[cyber-sibes]

What a good boy! im glad he & Kia are getting along. Does he have some ACD in him? I thought he was an ACD mix, like Kia, but without husky. He looks very solid and strong, using a gentle leader really helped me walking with my "bulldozer" Rosie. No more pulling, ever!

[Dorothy39]

I've finally got a chance to comment on your adorable Chipper!!!!!!! :cool:

He sure is a one in a million dog for certain and is responding so well to his new and happy home. What a handsome boy!!!!!

Thank-You for the extra pictures of him~I've enjoyed reading this thread too!!! ;)

[caseysmom]

He is a cutie, and the way he sits...well casey does that too, I call that her Ebony impersonation!

I also thought he looked like he could have some Shar-pei in him.

Chipper sure has a mix of colors & he's a handsome dog.He looks so
bright and alert. Have you ever considered the prong collar? It was a
lifesaver for me with Buddy. I use it for Maggie & Smokey as well.

[Ginger's Mom]

Aww, he sure is a handsome boy. I would still think ACD (or maybe basenji) from the shape of his head. I am glad to hear that he is doing so well in his new home.

[ramanth]

Thanks everyone. :)

No accidents this morning! I think we're getting there!


Have you ever considered the prong collar? It was a

I don't think he's quite so bad that he'll need a prong collar. But we'll see.

I found he doesn't pull too badly when walked with a harness. With a regular collar, he chokes himself pulling and I can barely control him, and with the Martingale Collar, he pulls a little less and is easier to correct.

We'll be enrolling him in Obedience class soon, so I hope he'll catch on quick heel and how to walk without pulling. :D

[Pembroke_Corgi]

He's got such nice colors, he really is a handsome dog. I'm glad to hear he's fitting in well with his new family, too. :)

[Vela]

He looks like such a lovey boy. How great that must make you feel to be able to give him a home. He looks like an ACD/GSD mix to me.

[luvofallhorses]

I am so happy to hear things are going well with him and Kia. :) he's such a handsome boy! :D

[Jadapit]

I love him! He's such a great looking dog. :D

[Alysser]

Whatever mix, Chipper, is he's absolutey stunning! I love his huge ears. He looks really sweet. Looks like he got himself a new home just before the holidays. :)

[Uabassoon]

He is such a unique looking dog! I'm so excited that he ended up in such a wonderful home :D I know it's just a short time before he and Kia are stirring up trouble together!

[K9soul]

He has SUCH a sweet face Kimmy. It looks like he's making himself at home :D. I have to say my guess would also be ACD mix. He looks to have a very similar face and body structure to Chester. But I can see why one would think of basenji when looking at him too. He sure is adorable :)

[gemini9961]

He is a handsome boy for sure. I see ACD in him like I said before. Kimmy, I use a martingale collar for Grant since he pulls too and he can get out of a regular collar. The martingale works great for us, so I would recommend giving one a shot.

[belterv]

Congrats! How incredibly adorable!!! :D I only got to view the last two photos and a half though... stupid computer :rolleyes:
I hope to see more of him soon! :D

[belterv]

Yahoooooo! Now they all loaded! He is just too cute in all those photos :D I love the way he sits.
