OMG! What a cute little guy. My Sister-in-law raises them in CT. Affectionate bundles of joy. Congratulations!
 
Beautiful little guy. Dogs bring so much joy to our lives. I love my little one.
 
Thanks guys.

For all his cuteness he sure does have his moments though. Yesterday, by the time my wife got home from work I was ready to give him back.

We paused, took a breath, reevaluated our tactics/methods/role and have hopefully turned a corner in the whole humans-as-leader relationship.

I forgot how challenging (and constant) the whole raising a puppy thing is....if you want to end up with a good, content and happy doggie in the end.
 
They demand love, attention, care (brushing, bathing, etc.), and some guidance (on becoming your best friend).
It's part of the deal, it's part of love, and every day.

And when they're young, ...it takes time to adapt and grow up, for them with you. :)

* You guys have children?
 
Hey Bob, no kids ourselves, just friends' kids, neighbors' kids and nieces and nephews.
 
He's getting bigger:

beautiful dog Mike!!! i just saw this thread for the first time. they sure grow up fast.
nice pics too with the awesome colorado sky!!!
 
Thanks Steve. Yes, he's grown like a weed over the past couple months. Not sure how big he'll ultimately get but thinking around a 40-45 pounder by the time he fills out both height and weight wise. Right now he is 100% muscle.
