Great Dane Doberman mix puppy

[Jasper's Mom]

Welcome Aries!!!

Your Aries is a beautiful pup. You are so lucky to have a dog that is so young and already asks to go outside to potty. Don't worry about the crate accidents for bladder growth will ease those night time slip ups. Scolding isn't necessary with such a good potty track record so far. You do have a treasure there.

One of my dogs is also picky about his potty place, only on long grass and in our back yard. He goes on walks, to the dog park, the beach, but when he comes home he wants into the back yard to potty. Don't know what to do to change that. Only once did he potty away from home. We were at the beach, he couldn't find his tall grass, so he went into the ocean and pooped in the waves. I tried to grab it with a bag but the wave action floated it away. We really laughed hard over that one. Luckily no one was watching.

How did you find Aries and choose him for your special pup? Is this your first dog, and do you have any other pets now?

We're glad you're here!!

Many moons ago, when I was a teenager camping
with my family,
I saw the most beautiful dog I had ever seen. The dog was a Great Dane/Doberman mix.

As for feeding:
Some owners of large breeds are afraid of
having their puppys grow to fast and
putting access weight on those growing bones. I fed my Akita's puppy food till they were 7 months old and than switched them
to a good adult food.
I also feed the pups 3 times a day
till they were 6 months old, than
cutting them down to 2 times a day.
This is what I did, and what was suggested to me from some bdr. friends.
Who is to say what is the right way.
Trust your vet, I would ask him,
and you also might want to check out
some puppy care books from your local
library also.

P.S Please keep sending us pictures as
your BIG baby grows.
