Our new Dobie arrived today. My brother-in-law picked him up for me as he lives in that town and I did not want my 2 young kids to have to drive 3 hours there and back. Anyway, this poor 13 month old sweetheart has NEVER been out of the kennel. His ears looked chopped, he has never been in a house, never climbed stairs. Took him 8 hours in the backyard to get the confidence to climb 2 steps onto the deck. Once he started, he kept trying and would fall down the 2 steps. When he went to run with my oldest (Justin 12) he looked clumbsy and even tripped over his own feet. He is really sweet, loved the cat when he first met him. The cat who is best friends with mako did not even try to move away or puff up.
The ^&&% who had him promised me papers, guess what? He told my brother-in-law that he did not have them and would mail them. When he told me this and asked if I still wanted him, I said yes of course get him out. I paid $300 for this dog who just may not have papers, he smells so bad, yet I cannot stress him more today to bathe him. We have a lot of work cut-out for us here. He is not even house broken and he is nervous in the house. My mom when I called her nearly cried. I almost did several times today and my husband, well he is just glad we got him out of there. I can only imagine a person with no Dobe experience getting him <cringe>. I am posting pictures of him now in the gallery..
Ohh we are stumped on the name, he will respond to his given name Zuess, but hubby suggested Volcan, what do you all think?
