Puppy advice

[three]

I was researching dog rescues in your area, and one site led me to another. I got stuck on this one because of all the cute faces. I know she's a bit of a ways from you (but, not TOO far)..and oh my cuteness! Little Mystique in WA...look at that face! So cute (and crate-trained!)

Three, thank you so much for that. I actually already looked up Mystique. But unfortunately I would be afraid to have her at my place due to the neighbor's dog and cat that frequently come into the yard. She has some significant issues with smaller animals. She's been looking for a home for a while now.

That was very sweet of you to point her out.

Slightly off topic of puppy getting advice for you - but have you read Jane and Michael Stern's book - Two Puppies:Being the Authentic Story of Two Very Different Young Dogs, One Who Is Virtuous and Goes on to a Life of Service, the Other Born to Be Naughty

It is about their bullmastiff puppy (the naughty dog) and a service labrador pup.


When my 12 yr old and 2 yr old dogs were pups - I paid college students to study at my house so they (the dogs) would only be crated for short times. I also used the system of a closed crate - then crate and one safe room ,then crate and house system where crate was closed when they were young - then open crate in room with gate - then crate in house because my dogs liked their crates even when they could be elsewhere.

No I haven't. I may have to check it out.

And what exactly are you trying to say? (she says with a teasing tone)
