awww they are georgeous Tashi. Right I have just measured her as I guessed her height and it is actually 9 inches to the top of her back ( wasnt sure where the withers were ) I am not sure what her weight is but she is very small. Her fur has also been trimmed ( mix up at the dog groomers last year when they shaved her ) Thankyou for raising this as I always wondered but never looked into it.

For the car problems:
You'll need another pair of hands to help with this.
Expresss correction spray towards her when she starts making a noise. and a firm NO! Do this enough and you should get results.

Be careful with a long leash though. It's not suitable for "crazy manic" dogs as they could get there legs tanggled and get injured.

Kittysoo... I'd get rid of the husband and get another dog! Just kinding... Welldone both by the way.

Thanks for the advice on taking Toots in the car - I think we have a short trip on Saturday so will try covering the cage first but if that doesnt work I will get a spray bottle with water in it and have a go with that. Poor thing wont know whats hit her
How are you getting on Kittysoo?

she is about the same height as the one in the second photo down who is a small klein although in the standard. You must have been devasted to go and pick her up and have her shaved!!!

I nearly cried Tashi but we had to see the funny side of it in the end. She looked like a little lamb as the fur underneath is very wooly and she is mainly white with beige patches on her ears and back ( I must also say that she loved it as it was in the summer so she was a lot cooler ). I had only asked them for a trim

there is a breeder round the shows that does them in a lowchen clip that looks quite sweet

Hi All

You are going to think that l am quite mad but on top of all my problems with my pups - l am getting another one!

Schmoo was my 50th birthday present and he is such a lovely little boy though quite scared of new things as l realised that l had not socialized him as much as l should have.

Anyway l wrote to his parents owners and said that if in future they had another litter, l would love to have a little girl! Well l forgot all about it until yesterday when l came home from work to find a message on my answer machine saying that they had a litter that was 2 weeks old and that was l still interested? They had 6 boys and 1 girl!

Well sorry peeps l could'nt resist and have reserved her. I am going to see them next Monday and they are going to be ready about the 8th May.

Now its all a done deal and despite DH saying not another one - l am asking for help.

I have about 4 to 5 weeks to prepare for the arrival and l want to get everything right. The other dogs sleep downstairs now, so with this one being really small - Yorkie X - is it a risk for the first few days until she is totally excepted to let her sleep with the others?

Also l don't want any bad habits rubbing off on her so is there anything l can do in the meantime withthe others. Remember that l have only had Scamper less than a couple of months and he was almost 16 weeks when l got him. He seems to have a much shorter fuse than the others as well as being a Jack Russell.

I do want a peaceful encounter for (Katie) and the others and don't want to mess up her head with my isolation.

Socialise socialise and ... Socialise! Keep her seperated when your not around the other dogs till you can see ahe's excepted. Monitor them all and see how they go. Carry on doing what your doing with our dogs and all should be well. Start disapline from day one and she'll grow up a happy camper!

Thanks Karen - when it all went quiet l thought you had all thought she's obviously one of those mad dog women who is overrun with poo and puppies!

By the way getting rid of DH was a good idea but to be honest without him l think l would be that mad dog women plus have quite a lot of cats too!

I will be gettting her at 7 weeks as the owners vet said that her last litter were way too attached at 8 weeks. As she will not have had injections should l just carry her everywhere l go and let as many people as possible touch her? I did take Schmoo with me but he was quite reluctant to have anyone touch him. He just let them do it but you could tell that he preffered they did'nt.

Anyway l must go hope all is going well with you all.
