| I have submitted the deposit and plan on picking my puppy up early to mid-June. Can't wait. I will be graduating form the Navy Academy on May 24, and the puppy is my grad present to myself. I will have a solid 4 months to train him, school starts in October and I will be non-deployable for nearly 2 years, so I decided now is as good of a time to make the commitment as any.
All advice is welcome! |

| Welcome! Do you have a picture of the little pup? I'd love to see. Check out the stickies for some good advice. The only thing I might add to all that, is that with 4 months of summer, it might be easy to neglect crate training the pup for 5-6 hours in the middle of the day (of course I don't mean starting here, but working up to it)- of course you'd want to spend all the time you can with your pup! But if you force yourself to leave them at home for a quick trip to the grocery and build up, it'll make the transition to school way easier! I'll be the first to admit that when I got my puppy, I was the one with separation anxiety. |

| Glad you signed in and introduced yourself  You're definitely in for one hell of a rollercoaster ride, there are days where you'll be tearing your hair out but in the end it is absolutely worth it. Please post pictures as you get them, we all enjoy watching pups grow up! _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

| The above is the litter. My requirements were for a healthy pup, therefore I have not been informed which one is mine yet. They are all great so I'd love any and all of them.  |

| Since Ryan is busy moving out of his dorm room and finishing finals, I told him I'd post the latest pictures of his pup's litter Males:  Females:  _________________ Shadow's Blog Canine Hydrocephalus Support on Facebook "Being the parent of a special-needs pet means living your life constantly poised on the edge of a double-edged sword.

I am not sure yet. 3 people have submitted deposits for show dogs, and after they are picked then I'll be deciding. I would be happy with any or all of them though! |
