Hi
I'll be choosing my puppy next monday and i have to chooses by pictures sense the puppy is 11 hours from where is live . I want a female and i would like to have the biggest one .. I have 4 females to chooses from and they will be 4 weeks old.

Does anyone have suggestions on how I should chooses my puppy since I cannot see her moving and her temper ?

Note on that I will be going to pick her up on the 18 of november 2011

We got our puppy we named her Carly !!

She did super good in the car for 10 hours. We had to stop many times for bathroom breaks tho!
She only had one accident in the car.

She likes to bite and nibble me and barks at me too ! We're going on 2 days with no accidents in the house. Yah ! We have to take her out side every hour! At first she would have a few drinks of water and would pee right away !

I notice yesterday that one of her front leg seems to be deformed and we she walks she doesn't put much pressor on it . But she doesn't seem to be in pain! I'm going to get it check at the vet next monday I hope she's ok !! I'll let you know what the Vet says ! next week


Cheers !
Oh she's was 8 weeks on sunday and she;s 12.4 pounds already.

What exactly do you notice that makes you think she might be deformed? I sure hope it is nothing to worry about but I am curious as to what you are seeing.

Hi all
when i get the information from the vet I'll give you some news. It's hard to discribe what her paw looks like but it almost look like. She's double jointed. I wish I could get a good picture if I do i'll post it.

We had to pick our pup before we met him also. The breeder sent us videos of the puppies. They were ALL adorable ! Maybe your breeder could send you a video????

I can vouch for having family members and/or trusted freinds and neighbors helping out at first. We have a great "support system" in place, we couldn't do out without them. Our Guinness will be 5 months next week, we both work full time but luckily my Mom lives a mile away. When we were feeding him 3x a day she would come over about 2 hrs after we left for work to let him out, come back at noon for his mid day meal and again mid afternoon to let him out again. also as luck would have it, she works Tued & Wed but my mother in law has those days off, so he goes to her house those days. Also my wife is fortunate enough that she can work from home one day a week. so we throw that in the mix too. He's learning that there's nothing routine about our routine, every day is different & he's learning to roll with it.

Now that we're on a 2x feeding schedule, mom comes over for a couple of hours mid day to let him out of the crate to do his business & to play. We figure in another few weeks he won't need to go to Grammy's for the whole day, she can come & let him out midday like my mom does now. He's usually crated in the kitchen, although on the really humid days we're more comfortable with him in the bedroom with AC on low. in another month or so we're going to test out not crating but by limiting him to just the kitchen for just a few hours to see how he does.

Both moms are semi retired & my mom especially likes having "something to do"-- Monday Guinn was sick, & she ended up staying at our house all day-- she's having a blast with her grand puppy. We're thinking we'll continue with the daily visits in the future, we think its good for him having interaction with people throughout the work day.
