I seem to have got a new puppy... A 14 week old lab x staff (we think) called 'Buster'.
I found out a friend of a friend was rehoming him yesterday. He originally came from the pound, a whole group of people here got puppies from the same litter, and they have only had them 4 weeks. It's been really playing on my mind, so I spoke to hubby and he said we could have him. I am glad I spoke ot her as she is going back to England tomorrow to visit and was reutrning him to the pound. She wasn't aware they put dogs to sleep there, she thought it was just a rescue centre.
Nothing wrong with him, just normal puppy behaviour. A bit bitey for his age, but he is not vaccinated yet and not at all socialised with dogs or people. He is very wary of my girls, bless him, but is getting used to them quickly.
He is currently getting used to a crate, so I am sat in the kitchen next to him and he is going to sleep, bless him. He's had two outside wee wee's so far and no indoor ones! He is also getting the hang of 'sit' pretty fast.
Its not my intention to keep him, and I was very honest with the girl about that. I will train him in the basics, get him neutered and hopefully find a nice home for him and home him on the same sort of contract as my puppies go on, so he has to be returned if the new owners don't keep him. I am fully aware the right home might not come along though, and if it doesn't, that's fine, we'll fit him in here.
