New Puppy advice??

[dab_20]

He is so cute!! And your other pups are gorgous, like always!

I think him being a puppy will be a lot easier. I bet Face will probably become good buds with him before he can think of him as a threat. And if Face is nuetured, I bet it will work out. I have only had two females and now a male and female, so I don't have too much experience. If you get that adorable pup, hope everything works out!!

I think you are making a good decision. I would look around for another breeder, IMO, too.

I personally don't think the puppies should be around the big dogs at all yet...not only the nipping issue, but being stepped on and injured. Swissies are a large breed as well, and my breeder had many adult dogs on his farm, but also had a section just for when the puppies were out to play in...the only adult dogs allowed in that area, were the mother, and some of the older puppies (that he was keeping for himself), like maybe 6 months old or whatever, and not full grown, so they could teach the little ones manners, w/o hurting them.

Anyway, it is a big decision bringing another dog in the house and especially since you have 2 already. I think you and your boyfriend are making a good decision...you have to feel comfortable with your breeder, you'll find a good one and that special pup too!! Good Luck.

You made a very good choice to look around for another breeder. Good luck! By the way, your kids are georgous!

Sorry this didn't work out for you but it sounds like your making the right choice.
The breeder I got Bon from kept all the pups seperate from the big dogs, I can't imagine her keeping the pups and the adults together. Sounds like trouble to me (and obviously it was).
I do hope you end up finding a good breeder, well that is if you still decide to get a pup.


I read what you wrote about Face (not being sure if he'd like a pup) and I'll tell you our experience with Angus and pups...he loved them! Of course he had to go right up to them and push them around with his big ol' head and get some good sniffs in which kinda made us nervous at first, but he was always so good with them. Big dogs, a big no no but pups...bring um' on

Sorry to go on, but I just wanted to show you that my boy who didn't like other dogs loved puppies...even the male ones

Thanks for sharing a couple of pictures of your sweeties, they are looking fabulous! You definately need to share more pictures of them!!
