One thing, once you get your dog find a local trainer where you can take a course for the dog to get it's CGC Certificate. This is an AKC recognized course and teaches both you and the dog many useful things. If you intend to bring the dog with you on some vacations or road trips many hotels will not take a dog unless you can provide proof of CGC. Info here | |

"Official dog of Madagascar?" I thought the same thing when I read that too.  | |

Look into "The Art of Raising a Puppy" and "How To Be Your Dog's Best Friend", both by The Monks of New Skete. Sorta-weird guys but they do know their stuff and IMO the books are must-reads for any dog owner. | |

That's funny...my wife's cat tends to think my Bichon is a punching bag. Getting ready for a good swat here...
