He is a mommas boy..lol, last time we went to the dog park was within the week after the behaviorist and she suggested he wear his gentle leader head halter and have a muzzle so I brought them..he was awkward and the other dogs drew attention to it so I took it off and he started running so the big dogs would chase him..he loved it, but then there was a min ion and he ran ahead and I ran after him and when I arrived it was a standoff..no fight..so for me..I'm nerve wracked..he wants it,like I said but knowing it's a hair trigger makes it unenjoyable and I feel irresponsible allowing it if he could cause a fight; perhaps in the future if we can gather some people to work with us one at a time to build friends and confidence for him
Happy Holidays from Elliot!

Elliot and Piper wish you all a very merry christmas!
-
That's lovely. And look, the tree isn't even inside an xpen.
Merry Christmas to you and your pups. -
He doesn't bother the tree at all and neither did my previous B. He did ruin another set of curtains today though..
New picture! Elliot's new baby "cousin" Stevie the beagle/chihuahua mix is visiting from North Carolina. He is so gentle with her even when she growls and latches on to his neck over a toy @_@. Those puppy teeth are murder! (my sister is getting money towards training classed for x-mas!!!!) He is not at all possessive over anything and my sister even commented how easy going he is. He's totally in love with this puppy and this further proves that he needs a playmate closer to his age.

Love your pictures. Everyone looks like they are being "good" for Santa. Merry Christmas.
-
Yes what well behaved doggies for the Christmas photos, glad when those puppy teeth fall out, Kaiser had a puppy friend down our street and it even lost a tooth on him during play and Kaiser would squeal now and then but never growled at it. Merry Christmas to you and your dogs.
Jolanda and Kaiser

OMG, they are so mannerly– all three of them! I am in serious envy. And Elliot is getting more handsome every day. He is so svelte!
Hope they all had a big Christmas! How are the shows going?
-
Well only Piper (the 7 year old Golden) sat still.. Elliot and Stevie had to be re-positioned a lot!
Shows are going well. I'm still re-learning and Tad has been helping a lot. We have 5 singles so far with plans to start up again in February. Elliot is picky and really doesn't think he needs to eat much so he's a bit thinner than I'd like but I guess it's better than being a fatty!

Ha, good pictures. We are lucky, ours never bother the tree either. One has been kind of laying under the cover of the branches even.

Lovely dogs, all three of them - I'm beginning to think B's don't really care about Christmas trees one way or the other - Shaye usually liked the velvet tree skirt best, and slept on it.
