This is not answering your question but have you considered adopting an adult? We have gone to a show breeder and asked to adopt an adult when they were retiring from the show ring. They would have to learn the rules and routine of your place but they already should know how to walk nicely on a...

There are treat balls you can buy. Put a few of his kibble in the ball and have him roll the ball around to get them out. A few at a time and keep going until he's had his breakfast or supper. It will help to burn off some energy. Be sure to have him neutered when the vet advises. Can you...

There's really nothing special about being a dapple in regard to color and pattern. Actually dapples are tricky to manage when breeding because they can be paired with the wrong female and have serious health problems with the puppies. Hearing impairment to complete deafness, vision impairment...

I don't have that specific experience but go and keep it upbeat. Keep a happy and relaxed tone and smile. Go a few times and have the staff give treats and pats. He'll have that experience to remember.

OK. Without the photos, it's hard to say. The best guess is that she could be a double dapple, and maybe not. That's not much help, sorry. I hope she'll be fine and not have any health issues. So far so good.

OK. That doesn't rule out a double dapple though but good to know. If I saw the parents and they were both dapples, certainly a double dapple puppy could happen. Sometimes red can hide dappling and if the breeder isn't aware of that, they may think it's a solid colored dog when it isn't. Then...

Hi and welcome! Congratulations on your new pup! I bet your house has been turned upside down with a youngster in the house. I hope you post more pics of the pretty baby. She could be double dapple. Are all four paws white, and the end of the tail white? Piebalds have white there and if only...

Look how green and lush that is! Wish I was there enjoying the day with you.

Congratulations on your new girl! Looking forward to a LOT more pics. Barcelona!!! Show us what it's like in your part of the world, and if you're at the beach, even better! Pics of Maggie at the beach of course. lol I'm in Canada so no trips to the beach for 7 months while winter sets in.

Hi and welcome from Canada! Love that you posted photos!! Good job! How did you decide to get a doxie when you had 2 dogs already? Did you need a dog that would cuddle with you under a blanket when you watched tv? lol

Hi and welcome! I'm in Canada as well and love taking photos of my 3. It's a challenge often to have just the right lighting, the right expression, with no distractions in the background, isn't it? lol I love the blurred out backgrounds in your photos. Really allows the person to see your sweetie.

If you do end up with a doxie with a smooth coat, be sure to have a lot of blankets for them to burrow under. There is no dog like a doxie that will cuddle and snuggle with you for your favorite tv show, under a blankie too please.

Hi from Manitoba! What a very handsome boy. Congrats!

Hi! Is Oscar having a back issue? Please go to dodgerslist, it's a website to help families dealing with spinal cord injuries in their doxies. Post some news on the forum when you can, kay?

Hi and welcome from Canada! What a sweet baby. Those creams are so pretty! Can you post more pics and let us know how things are going? We'd love to see more.

What a little cutie pie! She looks like she could get into a lot of mischief. Don't you just love having white nails? I think you'll figure out the right name when you have her a little longer. I sure hope you post more pics and tell us what she's been up to.

I guess the chip on my shoulder is from puppies being born blind and deaf when it's totally avoidable and the breeders fault. That really irks me. So wound up over the issue. Yes. I agree with your assessment. The 'tad' of dapple had me spitting nails so I was trying to be direct with my...

No, not even a TAD of dapple. Absolutely NO DAPPLE. OK, bad advice from her already. Do not breed for blue. Blue is a dilute color and dilutes have a problem with color dilution alopecia. From Wikipedia Colour Dilution Alopecia - WikiVet If you do not have a knowledgeable breeder...

Be sure that the male is not a dapple. Dapple to dapple breeding results in double dapple puppies that can be blind, missing eyes or poorly developed eyes, and deaf. I think you should work with her breeder to pick the right stud for her, that works best for her conformation.

What a handsome boy! I am looking forward to a lot more photos plus hearing about the adventures you've shared. Looks like there are going to be lots of those. lol Since we have a very cold winter we play hide the ball indoors. We put the poopsies behind a door, put the ball somewhere in the...
