Boots update: 4 months

[Abi90]

The little beastie is now 4 months old. He's finished his puppy classes and is now on a class about motivation and manners, which is all about impulse control and the start of some very baby gun dog training (by association rather than deliberate).

His recall is really rather good, he was even allowed off lead at the beach and he stayed with us the entire time!

He comes to work with me now which makes life better for everyone, he gets so much mental stimulation at work and comes home shattered and cuddly.

Looking handsome:



And enormous:



But still as cute as a button:

Oh his spotty face is just so cute!

Such a lovely looking boy xx

Aw he is lovely. Sounds like his education is well under way.

He is fab. Will he go roan? His spots seem to be developing.

I don't know. I don't know how colour genetics work in dogs, none of his family are roan. Having said that his skin is very mottled and looks almost roany!

The only roan dogs I know where pale as pups and then went increasingly spotty. They had a roan parent though. My ESS has mottled skin and has quite a few well hidden flecks and spots. His white bits look mostly Hite though. Spots are more pronounced on his legs.

He is so lovely. What a lucky dog to have his lifestyle.

I want him to stay small forever but I am intrigued to know how he will turn out as an adult dog.

He's teething and really liked the taste of my arm, it must be a good consistency, I have to walk around everywhere with the root we bought him in case he gets the urge to chew me to offer it in exchange!

Lovely dog, he has a clever look about him as if he is concentrating hard.
