Or PITA as has been the case :D

Bad picture because he is either on the move or sleeping :D

11 weeks, English Springer Spaniel, named Ollie.

I got him while Duane was in Indiana--so I could get a headstart with training.

Vicki, I have to tell you what I tell the kids when we have got new pups.

I don't know who it belongs to, or how much it meant to them, but the puppy is going to destroy something of somebodies, and its not the pups fault

:wink: :D :D :D :wink:

He will be a lot of fun, and looks really cute.

Better get back to cleaning the rug now Vicki!

:wink:

Actually, only two "accidents" and the first one was the very first evening I had him, then the first day Duane had him home he had another, but he is pretty much house trained. He is real good about letting you know when it is time to go out, he stand by the door or will come over to you and whine.
But, he is a tornado when he gets keyed up :D

Nothing like the energy of a new pup, good looking dog. Now if you can train him to help in the shop like pnut.

Wholly cow, that's an amazing co-incidence. My sister has an English Saniel named Ollie! If you'res is even remotely as energetic as her's, he'll be a handful for sure.

That's a beautiful pup and bound to be fun and keep ya on yer toes for years to come.

Since others have set a precedent, here's our terrible twosome. He herds and guards her, she dresses him up, uses him as a pillow and subjects him to all manner of indignities. Only dog who has to put up with more is Barker, visible on the pillow, who is carried about by his ear.

That is exactly what I told Duane last night when Ollie was eyeballing one of the mounts on the wall!!! :D :D :D

You don't want to put anything down for a second either, and those "vampire" teeth are really sharp.

He's a good one. Built on the European plan with longer body and bigger head and jaws. His dad was a cop for eight years.

His papers show DVS rather than AKC in a lot of places. Breeder called him a "Stasi dog," though there's Czech blood too. Averages 90-95 pounds according to season.

Had a smaller old mongrel until early this year, and they both went out and came in together. We have wolves in our area, and where they like to eat small dogs, I'd bet on him rather than them even if his size was not a deterrent.
