I have 2 teapots with floppy ears and I love them to death and would not change a thing about their looks BUT ...

I would change Max's potty training difficulties...he knows that he's not supposed to go in the house but he will (especially if it's raining or snowing outside) if you don't take him out every hour. He's typically fine when someone is home because he'll let us know that he needs to go outside but he has to be crated when nobody is home otherwise he'll go to the bathroom on the floor. (And it's not a physiological thing because he's fine in his crate--NEVER any accidents--it's Max's stubbornness)

The thing that I wish I could change re: Abbie is that she is HORRIBLE in the car. She does not get motion sickness but get so anxious in the car that she makes herself sick. Trips in the car under 10 minutes are ok--anything over 10 minutes requires medication, otherwise, she'll vomit all over herself :(

i have been told that kirby ears are too big and his snout is too long. i still love him. if i were want to change anything is.....thicker coat and for it to grow faster

JESSY_RN2B 01-04-2007 11:41 AM

The only thing (if that) that I would change is his coat to grow faster and fuller. He has a true silky coat but it's thin............I am sure he will turn into a swan when he becomes an adult :D

It's like the curly/straight hair dilemma............I have naturally curly hair and of course, wish I had straight.............anyone else :D

Looks wise I think my boys are beautiful! There is nothing I would change about thier looks, BUTTTTT (alway a but) I wish they were BOTH more house broken! They refuse to learn!! I wish Fletch would stop jumping off the back of the couch! He makes me soooo worried with all these stories about how easy it is for him to break a leg and he jumps from the back of the couch 200x a day and I can't get him to stop!

My dexter, hes soo out there! most of the time hes in la-la land doing his own thing randomly, he's absolutely adorable and hes a cuddle bug! well there ya go... sometimes a little TOOOO cuddly! OH yeah, and hes a HUGE begger! He begs for things that are not even edible, and he'll hear the package from the other end of the house. Like last night he begged for a lightbulb! :D crazy boy! And the car... he hates the car and cries LOUDLY over the radio the ENTIRE ride!

I LOVE everything about Rocky! But sometimes I think he's roach back, and I wish he would learn that he's supposed to poop outside! Not by mommy's closet:mad:

abbie's mom 01-04-2007 01:07 PM

Thanks, everyone!

Silk coat? My Abbie's grows painfully slooowly, too! Seems we can't have thick coats if we have silk. It's either / or. :(

I think I am very lucky to be able to experience both ends of the spectrum.

YES! Aren't 'Abbie's the greatest? ;) And, "yes", you are blessed :).

Patti ~ From what I've seen, Cali is one of the most gorgeous pups on YT! I think the wooly or cotton coat doggies seem more likely to have the coveted 'baby' face. Don't you? Though, I don't envy the work her coat takes!

Abbie may grow more, I guess? Last she was weighed she was 6lbs; but, she's been spayed since, and feels heavier? I'm thinkin' 6lbs is THE poifect size! <g> Your "flying Walenda" cracked me up! Such carefree JOY in life!

uummmmmm...:confused: ...this musta been a typo? I'm thinking: "Yeah, I can see how having a 100% potty-trained pup is quite a burden to bear!" LOL

How old is she? Yes, I guess the soft fontanel would cause some worry just over accidental bumping of the head?

Tootie's a pretty smart guy, mom! Do some research - he's right - he IS a wolf <g>.

ohhhh, I forgot this one! OK, so I have TWO things I'd change! lol She's getting better about being anxious in the car; but, it still makes for a pretty unpleasant outing if we're going very far. :(

Yeah, I don't think we get to 'have it all' :rolleyes: - we either get a nice thick coat with matts, or a silk smooth, albeit THIN coat. lol I'm HOPING she'll fill out some in the next year!

When we visited Abbie's litter, trying to make our choice, her sire kept doing the same thing! We'd be talking, and I'd see Taz on the back of the couch ready to jump. Well, my heart would be in my throat, but I couldn't catch him! Evidently he'd been doing this for years, as the breeder was not concerned.

I often look at Buddy and think why was he not smaller! He really does have perfect ears, his color is pretty, his bite is absoultely perfect and his teeth really white (we brush) he has a silky coat and always smells so yummy however he is built like a bull dog! Really strong and muscular weighing in at 13.5lbs.:eek: I know there are others teapots here but are
they "BUILT" like Bud? I grab his rear legs at times and tell him he has turkey legs. There's lots of meat on them.:D He's fully trained and smart as they come. The build is something else. Certainly not small boned and petite by any means.;) But he's my Bud and I love him to death.

My Abbie is 14lbs and is really "thick." She's just solid but is SUCH a cuddler!!Her legs don't look like turkey legs because you can't see them--she has SO much hair!! She has a silky coat and a TON of it. It takes FOREVER to brush and dry. Max is 11lbs and he has little chicken legs. He doesn't look like he's 11lbs, though. He's compact and solid, but is not overweight. He has silky hair, too but it's thin so it's much easier to manage

I would want Albert's coat to grow faster and longer. It grows so slow but i am glad that his coat is silky and not cottony.

I was looking for a companion and not a show dog, so Rosie is just perfect for me. However, anyone that wanted to show dogs would not have chosen her. She has an arch back. I think her ears are like the standard. I don't know if the rest of her meets the standard.

She also has ADD so I think she would be distracted the entire time.

The only way she looks at the camera is to hold a treat. :p
