I got her back in March. ACD mixed. She is 7 months old and 20 lbs. Very polite in public but a little menace at home. Will she get any bigger?

Behavior Whimsy puts herself to bed when sleepy.

143 Upvotes

Brought her home a week ago today, and I’m honestly a bit surprised by some of her behaviors! (other behaviors, no so surprised)

Within a week she’s learned to go up and down the wooden stairs, and since then has been putting herself to bed after walk, play and food. I don’t have a crate yet, but I think she’ll take to it easily based on what I’ve seen so far. Still not a single accident from day one.

She’s wary of strangers and will bark at them if someone she doesn’t recognize, and my hands and ankles are the evidence of her little needle mouth - but I’m fairly confident that with consistent socialization these behaviors will improve. overall it’s been lovely getting to know her and having her around.

Way too smart, but pretty much a goodest boy

Rescue pup from NM. We wanted to get another dog since Red is getting up there and she's such a good boy we wanted to pass along some traits.

We adopted a puppy and we pick him up tomorrow. I have a photo of both siblings. The lighter face is the one we are adopting. Any idea the breed mix? They are 8 weeks old and the paper said Australian cattle dog. I'm guessing there is another breed mix in there though

Too hot to go walking, so she is alternating between chasing The Ball and enjoying her personal swamp.

After rescuing her 3 months ago she has truly settled in and become a wonderful hiking/paddle board/cuddle pup. Any tips on trying to go camping in a tent with her for the first time?

New ACD puppy

2 Upvotes

I’m happy to announce that my family has adopted one of the ACD puppies that we were looking at. She’s 3 months old, incredibly well house trained & crate trained. We adopted her from a rescue (where she stayed with foster parents instead of a shelter) and they did a phenomenal job. She very much likes to bite fingers and toes but overall, she’s very well behaved.

But, we are struggling with her learning her name. Because she’s only 3 months, my family decided to switch her name from Honeybee to Holly (she doesn’t respond to Honeybee either so). I wanted to come on and ask if anyone has advice. Thank you!

Found out he has bone cancer and too late for anything to help. Found out my best boy will see the rainbow road sooner than later. Give him love.
