You are gonna fall in love with your new little guy...and the girls will understand and love him too!!
I have to say the only issue i find with the male and hopefully he will grow out of it is he has started marking. He does not do it at home, but whe we go over my sisters house for a playdate with Roccos sister Dottie he has to mark everywhere because Dottie has a big brother Mudpie (12 year old Jack Russel) and I guess Rocco feels like he has to mark his surroundings. |
Thank you....yes I have done some research on the male marking...I have already order some belly bands and he will be neutered as soon as he is old enough and done teething just in case some baby teeth need to be pulled, I don't wanna put him under anymore than I have too.
Breeder has him potty pad trained now and thats fine when I'm not home or I have in him his play yard...but we want him to go outside...so I will have to take him out every 2 hours and after eating and playing...oh the joy of potty training LOL but I can't wait
so I'm hoping in his potty training to teach him that outside is fair game pee anywhere you want but inside is off limits and crossing the line LOL.
