I have 2 very small ones, 2.6 lbs and 3 lbs, who scare me to death at times. Elvis, the small one thinks he can fly and thinks he can attack a pit bull. Put him together with his sister Izzy and they will. They do however leave my great dane alone, unless they're on the bed at chest level with her. They do have the sense to stay away from her when on the ground. I do keep them apart unless I'm with them but even then you have to be constantly watching to keep them from being stepped on. My bigger 2 are 6 pounds and 9 pounds. The 9 pound one, Sebastion, Sebby for short, lives in his own little world. I got him from a puppy mill about a year ago. He's coming around but will probably never be the type to play with others although he'll sleep with me and is starting to push my hand to be scratched. He's probably the closest to breed standard except for size. He's absolutely beautiful. Niko was given to me at 6 days of age. Poor breeding resulted in his mother dying. He's my avatar right now. He loves everybody. He's my danes best buddy They play well together but at 6 pounds I still have to watch carefully. Sage, my dane, has learned to lay down to play to get to Niko's level. I don't know where Piper will fit in. Right now she plays with Niko and some of my fosters but I wonder what happened to the poor little thing in her short life to make her so timid. I'm hoping that we can turn that around bu getting her this young. Maybe she just didn't get attention because she was "too big". Not a problem at our house. All my dogs are perfect and are just what they should be. I did post a photo in the gallery of my new baby. She's as cute as can be and will be beautiful when her hair grows out. I don't know what possessed them to shave her puppy cut. |
