Introducing Lupo!

[AtYourCervix]

Enormous, huge, great, big puppy ?

He's a Maremma Sheepdog. 5 months old. Around the size of a small pony with feet the size of dinner plates.

He's being very good. Bit barky first night but not a peep last night. One wee on the floor yesterday and needs a bit of persuasion to go outside to wee but will go once he's out.

DH has taken him for a couple of walks and he's stuck very close and not wandered off.

SmallDog is a bit jealous. A few snaps and snarls over toys but again, not bad.

The cats have ignored him completely and he's ignored them.

So, I know it's all a bit honeymoony, but so far, so good.

And he's moulting his puppy fluff. I've hoovered twice since lunchtime..

Hello cute Lupo

Is the dog equivalent if calli g your baby George, after the Royal one?

[AtYourCervix]

It is unfortunate that royal dog is also Lupo. But I thought of it before I knew about that one. Ii thouught I was being all novel and clevetr (Italian wolf - apt see)

Aaah, so you got him then :) He's adorable. Wishing you many happy years together.

And the good news is that they only shed twice a year January to June and July to December

Your BigDog was a beauty :)

[AtYourCervix]

Small is being a bit of a jealous pita this evening. Snappy and growly. Problem is they can't fight and get it over with because of the expensive back.

[AtYourCervix]

And BigPuppy has,,gathered every blanket and toy in the house and created a mountain.

[GetYourMoneyBackAtTheDoor]

Goodness, I've just read up about them on the breed club website as didn't know a lot about them. Got your work cut out there then OP, good luck

Beautiful though, and great that you know the breeder. I'm quite jealous of the snuggles you will have with such a fluffy bear.
