yawn! I posted this to say puppy is here and well. Thanks for all advice but I am going to beg to differ and at the end of the day she is mine and I will do what I want to do.

No offence but don't you care that there could possibly be something wrong with your pup?
Or that 4 hours and more is too long for a pup to go without toilet or company with only a short pop in from a neighbour?

No because she is fine. Been having a mad half hour where she has not stopped running and playing. No at the end of the day she will have to get used to it.

Ok well to the first point you don't know if she's ok, you're not a vet and from the sounds of it she's sleeping far longer and more than I think is normal and that alone would warrant a vet check asap from me.

To the second I think that is just downright cruel :( Poor pup :(
 
I saw this earlier and knew how it was going to go. OP isnt interested in advice or rethinking what shes doing. She has a cute puppy and it will damn well do what she wants or else. After all if it doesnt work out she can just stick it on Gumtree free to a good home, cant she! :(
 
No I am not a vet, but not an idiot. She has just eaten a big bowl of food, run around for half an hour, gone to the toilet and now is snoozing. It sounds to me that you really want my puppy to be sick and me to be banged up for cruelty! get a life and butt out.

No but from what I recall you are a teacher, therefore I find it quite shocking and worrying that you display such disregard and ignorance in all honesty.

No actually I don't want your puppy to be sick, that's ridiculous and no I don't want you to be banged up for cruelty - also ridiculous - I was hoping you'd have got all the health test paperwork, your pup would be healthy and well and properly looked after.

I can't comment on whether she is well or not but I'd be concerned.
I do however think it is cruel to leave a pup alone for that length of time as I have already said. You unfortunately seem more concerned with the possession of this pup than it's welfare or you would have taken on board the advice given and had a re-think on the way you intend to keep her.
I am saddened by your attitude towards your pup and your general attitude on here. I really hope for the pup's sake everything works out and it is healthy and remains undamaged in your care.
 
Do us all a favour and sling your hook, find another forum to wind up people, people like you make me sick and you are in possession of a precious little life which has to fit in with you no matter what, you dont take advice so dont post on here anymore, you have to be the most arrogant and contentious poster ever.

yes she has to fit in with my life-sorry but she is a puppy and a loved one in the warm fast asleep in a big warm bed with a bowl of water and toys by her side. Not dumped in a wood without food or chained without shelter. So leave me alone and I can post where and when I want
 
Deleted as I really just don't think it'll help, unfortunately I believe this poster to be a lost cause in this case.

I really really hope the pup lives a long, happy and healthy life.

yes I have Foggy as well- I know I am so lucky- but even more so as I still have my daughter.

Still have your daughter? What a strange thing to say!

Congratulations on the new puppy and new horse but please realise that people posting are doing so for the sake of your puppy. If you don't like that, fine...but it's not wrong for people to care about the welfare of your vulnerable young pup.
 
Why don't you put up some photos then as you say you have loads? Either this puppy doesn't exist or you must be very hard-hearted or perhaps just plain thick. OR maybe you really believe when you take on an animal (remember it has no choice) it fits round life at your convenience or it can go hang. The advice given on here is no more than we would all take on board if we loved our animal so take heed lady or you will soon become one of the 'baddies' of the animal owner world. YOU DO NOT LEAVE A PUPPY ON ITS OWN FOR HOURS AT A TIME - IT SIMPLY ISN'T FAIR. GOT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
GG - I think op meant that her daughter has not been at all well.

My pup spent most of the second day I had him asleep. I put this down to stress of the move from his litter mates, change of scene, food etc. All hell was let loose after, although he used to sleep a lot in between a few DIY projects.

I never gave him large meals though, but did what Patterdale on here did with her pups and free fed him, that way he never got that bloated uncomfy look.
 
For a teacher, her lack of capitals and punctuation are very odd.

Hills Science Plan is extremely low protein/meat content. It is not recommended by anyone except the vets who have had half a day of training on nutrition for all species (according to a friend who qualified recently). Please look at the food stickies at the top of this board.

I see she has now started to be rude and to tell people to get lost. Quel surprise!
 
There is a picture of the mythical puppy on the OPs profile page if you want to see it :) Interesting photos on the OPs Photobucket account too.... yes, I am wasting time while I wait for my tea to cook :D

Ah, I see. I'm glad the daughter is well.

She is not a bike, a stuffed toy or a new car, she is a living breathing puppy who has needs. In 3 or 4 months time, when she is still not 100% housetrained, barks at cars or hides from strange dogs/people, maybe then you will realise that the people giving you advice on this and your previous threads were right. Puppies need daily regular human interaction, to go out and about and see the world and very regular visits outside to toilet.

Please at least sign up for puppy classes, so she gets to meet other dogs and you have a trainer to talk to.

How do you mean interesting photos?
 
When I got Flodden as a puppy, i took him outside every hour for a pee, or poo. And he did one. He was housetrained from the start as i did this. Every single time he woke up, I took him outside for a wee. He ate several small meals a day, and went outside after every single meal. He was seen by the vet the third day I had him and had his first injections, I had all his health history from both his parents. He went everywhere with me, travelled in my car, met people, met close friends dogs. By 12 weeks he was going to puppy training, not doing much other than socialising in a controlled fashion and having fun. As a result I have a chilled laid back dog, who can deal with any situation he comes across, is totally house trained, no separation anxiety, no temperament issues, and no underlying health issues.

Im afraid leaving a puppy for more than an hour at a time is going to cause you some serious house training issues, and behavioural issues. This are the most important developmental time for your puppy. How you treat it now sets up the animal you will have for the future.

Im afraid I find your attitude incredibly ignorant, you have decided you want a fluffy little designer dog to fit in with your lifestyle, but are not prepared to ensure that puppy has the best start in life. As a teacher you have the whole of the summer off, that would be the time an intelligent person would buy a puppy. Time you could then dedicate to creating a healthy, sane and well balanced pup. And relying on a neighbour is not going to work. What happens when they go away, get sick, have appointments, do you think your puppy will take priority in their life. A dog is for life, not just for the puppy breath, cuddles, and fluffydom. I hope I am wrong, but I see so so many dogs in rescue who have had a start in life that you are planning for your poor puppy.
