    With the jabs I think is better to be safe than sorry especially as its your "first". For us we just get on with it but avoid places like the back beach. Izzy was out with us from day one but that was a risk we were comfortable with.

    Looking forward to see the pup develop. You will soon be wondering how you lived with out a dog for so long, they bring a new dimention to everything
    Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

    When loved ones come home, always run to greet them;
    Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride;
    Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy;
    Take naps;
    Stretch before rising;
    Run, romp, and play daily;
    Thrive on attention and let people touch you;
    Avoid biting when a simple growl will do;
    On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass;
    On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree;
    When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body;
    Delight in the simple joy of a long walk;
    Be loyal;
    Never pretend to be something you're not;
    If what you want lies buried, dig and keep digging until you find it;
    When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

    Thanks @Ftx325 .Haven't been online much lately, trying to catch up.I have been asked to make a few things so will throw some pics up when theres something to show.
    Regarding training your pup it's hard to beat one on one time so he learns to concentrate on you.I have heard good things about the "Big game indicating dog blueprint".Can't speak from personal experience though.

    I will send you through some more pics soon @Mohawk660 . The little tyke is certainly making himself at home . Unfortunately the kids had him on the sofa while we were at work so he has now claimed that as his territory and snuggles up to whoever happens to be sitting there , so now there is no escape.....
    His training is coming along and has taken to it quickly and has sorted the basic commands out but does get distracted easily .
    Only had one accident in the house with toileting which is great .
    Still struggling a little with crate time and gets upset and LOUD barking etc . I would never have thought such a small dog could make such a big noise......
    And every day around tea time he just goes berserker ..... racing around like his arse is on fire and ripping everything to pieces with a full on growl and very excited . I got a knotted rope which we use for tug of war which he loves and there's nothing better we have found than a 2 ltr coke/lemonade bottle to keep him entertained by himself . Throws it around and slides around on it like a skate board after it's flattened .
    we gave him the teddy in the pics and he'll rip into that one end while he's humping the other...... Thankfully he hasn't humped any one's legs yet...
    but he is a great time waster and nothing is getting done around the house as we all want to spend time playing and training with him , and even while he is sleeping during the day we are using that time for a bit of a recovery and coffee/lunch time for ourselves before the next onslaught .....
    and we are starting to get dizzy the amount of laps we do a day around the section teaching him to follow and just plain old trying to burn off some energy . Will be so much better when we can take him off property and out into the world after his jabs.

    I think I might be his favourite human at the moment as a tend to play with him more as the girls find him a little scary in berserker mode lol
    and as soon as my arse hits a seat he is at my feet asking to be picked up and sit along side for cuddles .

    puppy training classes start in a couple of weeks so that will be interesting to see how he does there .

    If you want to take him off the property to a place very few fogs are walked i can suggest somewhere. However I would be using a tracking collar if you are on your own so you have an idea where to start looking if he scarpers

    Yep.... obviously a born hunter this one.....
    Poised to pounce at a moment's notice.....

    On anyone who tries to sit on the sofa.... if he is awake anyway

    I think you might have given us a dud @Mohawk660

    lol now that is one relaxed pooch
    Looks like he is claiming his spots well.
    Pups can go from 0 to 100 in the blink of an eye. My dogs knew the different sounds of plastic too, so if you were getting the cheese out of the fridge bingo there are beady eyes watching you
