We are getting a new boy next week
. Here are some pictures of him at 4 weeks young. His name is Sir George of the Highlands. He will be 7 weeks young next week when he comes home with us. I've been waiting for 3 years from the breeder, and they finally have a litter this time. A litter of 4, 2 boys and 2 girls. Unfornately, one of the boys died a week later, he was not breathing when he was born, the vet was able to make him breath. But he did not make in the end.
Since I've been waiting for 3 years, the breeder let me had the pick of the litter. I had my mind set on the boy even before I went to see him, because I can't stand to see a girl dog squat and pee (even though I'm a girl myself, I just think that looks very odd) I like my Chuck stands there and pee, he looks so dignified.
I also have a question regarding crate training the baby. I have never crate trained my two bassets before. They both came house trained when I adopted them from the basset hound resecue. Since we both work full time, the baby will have to stay in a crate in order not to mess up the house. We are planning to put the crate right next his brother-to-be, Chuck's bed. I wonder if that will upset the baby if he sees his brother wondering around, and he has to be stucked in a cage? Anybody has experience crate training a puppy when the older dog has free run of the house? Any advice will be appreciated.
