Could have some Xoloitzcuintli (Mexican Hairless dog) ???
Meet our new puppy!

Thanks for all the compliments ya'll!
I couldn't be happier with him. Although I did get a lovely call from my boyfriend this AM saying he is convinced Dallas prefers to go potty on the carpet since Mark took him outside for about 15 minutes but got nothing so figured he didn't have to go…WRONG! As soon as Mark put him down in the bedroom (while he got ready for work) Dallas pooped & peed on the carpet. :p That's my boy...a smarty pants! -
What a cute, adorable, sweet looking little face!!! Yes–good thing--that's how they get away with "accidents." The trick is--you don't bring them back inside until they do some "business." I spent lots of time out in the cold at 5 a.m. when Max was a puppy years and years ago. That's one nice thing about adopting older Bs who happen to be house trained already

Soooooooooooooooooo CUTE!!!!!!!!! Makes me miss mine when they were pups!!!

And don't forget getting into the dirty laundry and dragging it out into the living room….especially underwear. :eek: And all of our bathroom trashcans sit on the back of the toilets. Can't even begin to guess at how many replacement sippy cups I've had to buy because Cory has chewed off the spout. The cup isn't much use without the top and the top is useless without a spout!

Congratulations! I also love the little line on his nose.

Of course were else should the waste cans in the bathroom be?

That will fill in with black with age… but they are cute. Kobey had a neat little line that looked like a lightning bolt from the top of his muzzle down one side of his nose... it is gone now....

Well we brought Dallas' brother home today "Nike Romano" we kept his last name from his breeder, we thought it was cute since Mike is Italian lol. Mia is so-so on him, plays great with toys, but I find she nips at him a little too much for my comfort so they are under surveillance 24/7. The crate helps alot!!! he's already doing good as far as peeing outside, lets hope he keeps it up. I'll post pics as soon as I can get a minute to upload them on my comp, 2 puppies is definitly busier than 1 (I type this as Mia is sleeping under my desk, and Nike is running around outback). Wasn't Midge a lovely lady Nina. I love there huge land, the doggies must love it there! Can't wait to see how they grow up. What cheese was yours named after?

The nipping is normal, don't get freaked out about it… she is going to teach way more than you will be able to... I have never ever gotten between a pup and my adults...

sometimes i just think rockys being too rough.. but my Mia always runs right back.. so i guess its okay lol im just scared cuz shes so tiny! im sure you agree -

Ours was named Monterey Jack :p We actually entertained the idea of leaving it & calling him Monty but whenever I hear that I think of like a fat old man smoking a cigar! Haha. Not exactly the imagine of my puppy huh? lol So we stuck with our first name of Dallas, which we got because we're both HUGE Dallas Cowboys fans
He's getting better in his crate but he still whines when we're not in view of him & he's in the crate. Hopefully I can break him of that this weekend since when I go back to work on Monday I'd hate fr him to whine all darn day! He's already getting great at going potty outside. No accidents (knock on wood) since yesterday morning (which I blame on Mark for not leaving him out until he did his business!).
He loves to chew on the carpet though…it's like an area rug & I would move it but...thne if I put it back he'd probably just start doing it again! He doesn't get what "no" means yet so I have to say no & remove him from the rug like 30 times!!! Haha. He's pretty darn persistant!
I can't wait to see pics Michelle!

When you remove him from the carpet what do you give him to redirect him?

Very cute puppy!!!

yes always blame it on the man lol…I do! The carpet...well mia loves the carpet, no matter how much I douse it with Bitter yuck she still goes for it, so now I have packing tape holding the edges down until my dad can install something more permanent, hopefully Nike doesn't learn that bad habit from her. When I 1st got Mia we were in a tiled house and my parents had a area rug, and she would pee on it chew it, etc, so we took it out and just put it back when she was about 6 months old and she never touched it after that. They have been playing so well today I'm truly amazed, I'll post pics soon

I try giving him one of his toys but he pays no attention to the toy & heads right for the carpet again. I bought some bitter apple spray today but it's a large area rug so I imagine that would not be very effective! Haha.

It is an area rug so maybe I could remove it for a little while. The rest of our house is tiled (minus the bedroom which he doesn't go in except in his crate to sleep at night). He doesn't do it all the time just occasinonally when he thinks I'm not paying attention. It's a shag-type rug so it isn't really harming the rug right now but I would prefer to break the habit so he doesn't think it's always going to be okay to chew on carpet.

My Jamari carried around area rugs regardless of his age… he was born here and loved those rugs..ggg... Nothing like a 4 wk pup trying to carry around and chew on a throw rug that was 10x's bigger then he was.... I was forever looking for it and putting it back... and honestly, every litter I had did that, but never chewed on the wall to wall carpet... Seems throw rugs are just a magnet for Basenjis...gggg

adorable
I love B puppies
