Hey everyone,
I just picked up my boy yesterday, and he has been amazing! He's a little champ, sat on my girlfriends lap the entire ride home (3 hours). He had to pee, and held it for 20 miles before we could get it to the rest stop. I have been really careful about watching him, but he has yet to go potty in the house, and as soon as he wakes up/eats, when I take him outside he pees right away!! He only woke me up once last night at 3 to go potty, then crashed without crying once. I have heard these puppy first night stories from ****... but I must say (whether it is the breed or the breeder) he is great!!! The biggest cuddle bug in the world, all he wants to do is either play catch with his stuffed squirrel or cuddle with people. He even loves his crate! We will see if I say the same thing tomorrow morning, but so far he is the best dog! I do have a question though... When should he be allowed to walk in public. We have a trail right by our house, but he has only received his first round of shots. After the 12th week should it be ok? When did everyone start socializing their puppy with people walking in public? I know to keep him far away from foreign dogs and other dogs feces, but when should I walk him on the trail where it is just typically joggers and walkers? Thanks for the advice, I'm so happy to be a dad and lucky he is so well tempered (at this moment at least!)
