We have had Tracey's boy, Theodore the other brother (Theo), home with us for a week now. He is an ABSOLUTE joy. He is adjusting beautifully to our home and is just so well socialized and comfortable. It's been a HUGE difference from getting our Violet at 8 weeks (from someone else). I totally understand now the true value of waiting longer and leaving the pup with their siblings and family longer. It does result in a WAY better adjusted puppy. We're not dealing with biting issues, we haven't had ANY accidents, it's just been great. (Now we do watch him very carefully, and take him to the pad frequently, and I am not saying he is "trained" but still i am impressed!).
Just thought I'd weigh in with my experience of having Theo for a week now. Anyone who gets alvin or simon will be so lucky!!
Here are a few pics of him in our home.
