Beatle was 16 weeks old when we collected her. She had been in an outdoor kennel but had a very good breeder who made sure she was well handled. She had not been vaccinated but in spite of this and having to be kept in until these were completed she has been the best behaved puppy I have ever had
I shall probably live to regret that statement. She's still got plenty of time!!
She was very easy to housetrain, sleeps by herself in the kitchen and has been no problem at night, loves puppy school and damage and destruction seem to be restricted to toys she is allowed to destroy, apart from the garden that is, I just tell myself it will grow again
However....I have recently retired and am at home all day, although I do make a point of making sure she is left regularly so that she gets used to it.
Compared to my Welsh Springer as a puppy she is an
Jasmine howled louder than any dog I've ever heard, destroyed an endless list of things and thought housetraining was a waste of time
However we got there in the end and she is great.
I can honestly say having an older unvacinated puppy has been easy. BUT I really think I've been very lucky.
I forgot....she does shoplift
. In PAH I have ended up paying for a toy she had very quietly 'aquired' and was carrying round the shop very pleased with herself
