Hi Valerieann,

This may sound silly but Alfie had no issues about food until a couple of months ago. He's turned into a fussy little fellow, he will eat only what he wants to or if he sees one of us pretending to eat his food. Lol.

When we brought Alfie home we fed him and to be truthful, when he would get hungry he sat on the kitchen floor looking up to the bench and cry, he still does it to this day and in the exact same spot.

As for toilet training he was totally fantastic! After feeding we took him into the garden and told him wee wee. We put training pads down for him but after a couple of days he stopped using them and just lay on them. After just having him three weeks he cried at the door to be out and its been that way since. I think our older dog Jamie helped with this. Only thing we did have trouble with was if we had been out even for 10 minutes and came back in Alfie would dribble little puddles by our feet Lol. He grew out of this by the time he was 5 months old. All in all he was totally brilliant.

Good luck with your puppy, whats it called?

This reminds me that I shall have to post some newer pics, as he looks so very different now.

Thank you all for your lovely comments.

Alfie is so cute. I sure can see the two breeds in him. I have Yorkies and one Westie. What a great combo of personalities...
