Has she got your household terrified into submission like Pickle has here.:p We are having to re-fence the garden as he goes through all the fences and heads off across the field at speed. He's still being very good at night, and has mainly learned to respect Evie and follows her like a shadow, he gets into her bed with her now! :)
M88 is trying to lead train him, which is very entertaining, he is not impressed.
 
After several escapes out of the garden it was obvious something had to be done. My daughters boyfriend built a puppy proof run and has made life so much easier but how Im going to mow the law goodness only knows how.

She plays with Darcy who loves her but is supervised because Darcy is used to playing rough. Diesel has been snapped at twice and is not enamoured with her in fact the last time he growled at her.:eek: Daddy shot a rabbit for her last night so has had some cooked with her meals today.

Pip now does sit and down assisted by good old Primula and wears her collar during the day.My daughters boyfriend bought her a very nice lead but I am going to buy her a cheap one to drag round. Her house training is brilliant and we have paper put down but she goes to the door and jumps up to ask to go out.

She is really a total time-waster but an absolute poppet. The daughters boyfriend is fishing tonight and hopes to catch her a trout.

It is so lovely having a clean slate rather than an older dog with baggage and no social skills or any obedience training.

Im sure Pickle is living up to his name and is a typical Lancashire Heeler, I cant believe how I had forgotten how fast they are but then I am 20yrs older.:D

We are going to have to do a weekly update with pics, how much does Pickle weigh? Pip is 2.8kg and was 12weeks last Saturday. I know she is older than Pickle but suspect he is bigger.
 
We've got the yard barracaded to keep him in, Evie can jump over to get into the garden but so far have managed to contain Pickle. I too had forgotten how bloomin fast they are, though as you say I am 20 years older, keep having to call M88 to crawl under hedges etc to retrieve him.:D Not weighed him yet, but he is tiny.

He seems to prefer Evie's bed!

MM Lovely photo and they both look so happy, does he sleep with Evie all night?.
Pip has gone home with S tonight and back in the morning, the house seems empty without her. S caught a lovely trout so she will have some of that tomorrow.

What are you feeding him?.
 
He sleeps in his cage at night, and when we leave him and was putting himself in there voluntarily for a nap, but now seems to prefer to go in with Evie.
He is on Burns puppy food at the moment, which is what the breeder gave us, but I am waiting for samples of Fish4Dogs puppy to see if he changes on to that okay, although I have to say he is eating the Burns really well.
