Well no one claimed him, so he gave him to me. He was in really bad shape. He's really submissive and is affraid of everything. When ever you go to pet him, he flinches. I think he's been beat. So I take him to the vet, and it turn's out he had a chip in him. The original owner didn't want him back, and said he was missing for a week. I found out he's been passed around alot. Now I know why. He refuses to go potty outside. That probly explains the beating. I'm being really paitent with him, but so far no luck. I'm going to try the crate method next. I sure hope it works. Here's a few pic's of Quincy, and he's not too happy with me at the time. I just made him go outside in the rain and he didn't like it. He did perk up a little when I asked him where the cat was. This is the most cat hating dog I've ever seen. He really viciously attack's them. My cat has been hid since he came into the house. What's really funny is the cat used to slap the heck out of our Rot that we just recently lost. I guess the cat can tell this dog really hate's her, and the Rot was a push over,,,lol. Cal |
Hey Congrats on your new Baby!
He is adorable :-) I hope that you will consider training. I kinda get the idea that your dog isn't submissive at all and might be an alpha male from the behavior you described. I think the potty training will go a lot further if you take him to some classes too. I feel bad for the poor little guy, being beat. But, you have to admire his spirit...he's not broken. Good luck and God Bless :-)
