I would definitely crate her at night. I bought a large crate, big enough for when Otis is full grown, and just put a box inside so that he didn't have access to the entire crate. Gradually as he got bigger, I added more space by using a smaller box. They don't like to go potty where they are...

I have both a wire crate and a plastic crate. I would use the wire crate when Otis needed to be crated during the day and it is out in the living room. His plastic crate is in the bedroom and is where he would sleep at night. It doesn't allow as much light in and I think he felt more...

My two go to bed between 11:30pm and 12 am. Since they sleep in their crates, they can't come wake mommy up and get up whenever mommy drags her butt out of bed, usually around 9 or 9:30 am!! :)

Cropping is a lot of work. I just got my female last week at 8.5 months old from her breeder. She was going to be shown which is why her ears were cropped. Anyway, she had them cropped around 12 weeks of age and just now finished with the taping at 8.5 months old! Most people crop for show...

I have an 8.5 month old flashy fawn female who has the dark chocolate brown eyes, they disappear in her black mask. My white male, Otis, however, has light golden brown eyes. I find them both very pretty! :)

I just brought home an 8.5 month old female who has a grade 2 heart murmur. I got her from the same breeder I got my white boy Otis from. She was supposed to go to a show home where they were going to show and finish her and then breed her, but she turned out to have the heart murmur so they...

Mine looks very different from the one you have. I guess they have different kinds. I've never been to their website since I was able to buy mine from a store here where I live and they fitted it on Otis for me. I will have to go check out the site.

I had a bad experience with a kenne/daycare facility here in Reno. I took Otis for a trial day at daycare and he did fine. I boarded him there once for 5 days while I was out of town and he seemed fine when I picked him up. So, I boarded him again a couple months later when I had to go out of...

Is that a SENSE-ation harness, because that is not what mine looks like?? Do they make different kinds??

I have pictures with it on my boxer. If you PM me with your e-mail address I can send them along to you. The front strap does sit high on the chest.

This thing works wonders!! I got one for Otis since he is a puller when out in public and it works great! He can still pull if he really wants to, say if a dog is nearby! haha But, you have control over it. He can't pull you down on the ground or pull your arm off. He doesn't try to pull...

I can't say it is quite as cold here as it is in New England! But, I bought Otis a few sweatshirts from Wal-mart. They are only $6 or $7 each so very inexpensive! I got hoodie zip up sweatshirts, two are fleece. I cut the sleeves off and widened the openings for him as he did not like to...

Otis is six and a half months old and I still feed him three times a day. I don't work and am home all day and the 3 times a day works for him. But, I would suggest at least feeding him 3x/day until he is 6 months old.

Otis is always kissing the ladies!! He's never had one growl or snap at him though, usually they are kissing him back! :lol:

Just to follow-up...I asked at Wal-mart if they do pet photos and they said no. :( Oh well. Maybe the Petco in my area will be doing some since PetSmart is not.
