Yeah the little puppy biting and crate training are the worse part.

We picked up a few biting things the other day at his first trip to the pet store. We took him to petsmart. Put him in the cart and wouldn't let him out, so he didn't pick anything "icky" up. Got him a rubber stick for chewing, and a puppy kong especially for puppy chewing. He likes the stick so much we are holding on to the kong till later. But it comes with little biskets to go inside.

As far as the pics... no biggie... its nothing compared to all my bike pics. Plus it would have to crash my laptop, desktop, and the wife's new work laptop. I think we're good.

I've got probably 10000 pics... don't keep them on my computer though, once I've uploaded them... I usually keep them for a year... then they go to a couple DVD's.

Good looking pup, man.

Thanks guys...

Yesterday we introduced Brinks to the dyson and the roomba. It went ok. He was scared of both, but no big deal for him being a puppy and only 7 weeks old. Here's a few pics of him and the roomba.





Then last night we took him for some more socializing with 3 calm, submissive, and very well behaved dogs. The Dan's are great dog owners, and the Mr is a amatuer trainer. His dogs are very well mannered and great all around dogs. 2 of them are Australian Cattle Dogs (Boozer & Riley) and the other dog (max) I'm not sure what he is. So good socializing for Brinks.

Riley



Max


Boozer



Brinks at first wasn't sure what to think of all of the action going on.


He watched Boozer and Dan showing off their skill. Boozer is rediculus at fetch. He will do it forever and is very good at it. The best skill show of skill is him with a stick in the woods. He will search and search and search till he finds the EXACT same stick. But here's some shot of standard fetch.


Brinks wanted him to share.



And he does


And some yard shots. Dan's have a great 1 acre fenced in yard so its great for the dogs.

Riley really took a liking to Brinks.


But all the action pooped out Brinks and his puppy power.

How are those dogs at fetch? Will he retrieve things?

the Australian Cattle Dogs are INSANE good at fetch and retrieving. I'm talking the best I have ever saw. And their energy level is un-surpassed.

How is your dog...or more accurately...how do you expect it to be at fetch?

Unless you've got serious yardage (as in acres) and a LOT of time to dedicate to them, Australian Cattle Dogs are a LOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT of work. Amazing dogs, and supremely intelligent, but not for the faint of heart.

"Brinks wanted him to share" is possibly one of the cutest pics I've ever seen!!

You are SO right! I left my Australian Shepard/Border Collie mix with my ex when I moved here because she lives on a farm. I knew I wouldn't have enough room for GIXXER to be happy here. It's been over 6 months and I still miss him!!! Unfortunately, when my HD crashed it took about 1000 pics of him with it! Now I back-up to PB and an external HD!

BTW that dog learned to fetch in literally minutes,NO EXAGGERATION PERIOD!!! Smartest dog ever!
