That one pretty pup

Journey of getting and raising my puppy (｀・ω・´) +My life with Dog godchildren

[thatoneprettypup]

I’m visiting a bunch of different puppies in the next weeks, why are there no actual guides on etiquette when visiting a breeders litter?

it’s a struggle, though Disneys owner gave me a crash course

[thatoneprettypup]

AHHHH

I’m visiting a giant schnauzer litter in three weeks and a Beauceron litter in late January, it’s actually the only thing that keeps me going rn … that’s totally not sad lol

[mara9]

Someone should mayhaps stop me from making rash decisions …

Like, look at him.

He just lost his parents :CC (the human ones)

He’s super badly trained, can’t go anywhere without a muzzle and is an 11 hour drive away

But that just makes the dog trainer brain go brrrrr

I don’t need a boy with dominance issues and only child syndrome ….

But he’s pretttyyyy

[thatoneprettypup]

Yayyyayayayay

IM GOING TO LOOK AT PUPPIES WITH DISNEYS OWNER IN JANUARYYYY

[mara9]

Please dont offend anyone 🤞

Made this in vidmix.app in ten minutes for my sissy, I will elaborate if asked to

[restinthewest]

When I was a kid I remember thinking that the best part of being an adult must be the fact that you can just have a dog. And boy I was not wrong about that.

[thatoneprettypup]

Sorry, I just have to get this out

I just watched a documentary about unethical dog breeders and there were so many people in the comments saying breeders in general were evil.

That’s just sooo far from the truth, I hate that the public perception of breeders is either “Oh, they can do no wrong” or “Everyone of them is the devil and they only do wrong”

I looked at the websites of some of the breeders that were mentioned, and it shocked me that people seriously think that’s the same thing as a serious breeder. They didn’t have a page about their breeding philosophy and goals, nothing about health testing or courses they attended and nothing about their breed except “They’re for beginners, you don’t need to train them and they cost 6000€”

I can’t even fathom someone thinking that’s somewhere you want to get a dog from. They don’t even want to meet the buyers beforehand!

I just hate it so much that those people destroy the reputation of dog breeding in general, ethical breeders are your friends guys! They care about shelter dogs, and they care about their dogs being healthy and having good owners!

I just got a Camera

I think I’m gonna start photographing peoples dogs on the street, seems fun and is good practice. Problem is I basically know every dog owner in a radius of 100 km, it would just be like

“Hello, I’m …, I take pictures of strangers dogs on the street”

“Oh, nice to see you again …, how was the show last weekend? Toffee has been having some problems with agility, but we’re, etc.”

My friend and I also want to start walking dogs, since we could easily just do that when going on runs together. I could take pics of those dogs as an extra for free too 🤔

We’ll see, Lots of ideas flowing rn

[thatoneprettypup]

He was feeling rather silly …

Went on a walk with Disney and Nashville yesterday, it was quite fun, always love a good old vicarious dog ownership.

Disney wanted to play tug of war the whole time, I’m not proud to admit that my arms were hurting a bit the next day. Nashville was just happy to be there, when Disney slept an hour after the walk he just walked around, getting pets from everyone.

I talked with their owner quite a lot, about puppies, breeders, sports, etc. She may be getting a Tervuren Puppy soon (next year), she’s really into the Belgians right now. It was fun and I did feel a bit proud when she asked me about my opinion on certain pedigrees and dogs.

[thatoneprettypup]

Just got a new toy for Disney, can’t wait to give it to her 🥰

[puppiesdoglover]

puppy is a medicine that can cure anything

[thatoneprettypup]

My father is speculating on Disney being given away by her owner now that she’s sick

He said he’d take in her in a heartbeat, bear in mind, she’s basically his work daughter

That’d maybe mean a puppy delay, but maybe it could also speed stuff up since her breeder also breeds beaucerons and she’s having a litter in January and she already offered us one …

My father said he wouldn’t be opposed to getting one from that breeder, they’re a bit higher energy but we’d have to do a little more sports anyway since Disney is working line, it’d be a bit complicated since she’s chronically ill now but we’d see …

It’s going up and down a bit again but this time I’m not complaining, a working line gsd has been my dream since I was three so maybe that and a puppy could work together.

We’ll see

[thatoneprettypup]

By the way, she’d never give Disney away

My father is hoping for a fostering arrangement, just taking Disney in during the surgeries and stuff since Disneys owner is quite the busy woman and still needs to properly exercise her other dogs

She was a bit offended at the idea but she’s thinking about it

I’m a bit weird with names, just choose what sucks the least xD

[thatoneprettypup]

I am quite surprised, though Tova is a favourite among my friends too Edda was less expected, my Dad just really likes Hedda (it’s a quite popular name where he’s from) but we agreed that Edda was a bit sharper, probably easier for the dog. I expected Koah to be more popular, my brother loves it, and Tess is just hated by my best friend.

So, yeah, surprising results

[thatoneprettypup]

The dog shaped hole in my heart is very specifically shaped …

[thatoneprettypup]

Just talked to them again

They’re having a litter next summer, calm and cuddly mom, cuddly protective dad, will meet them soon and we’ll see but the breeder already said that one of the puppies would probably be a good fit for me.

Their last litter was more work oriented, higher drive parents, more difficult to train. They’re hoping to get ‘easier’ dogs this time around.

I like Tova, Koah and Tess best tbh

Kiri is a classic tho

[thatoneprettypup]

It’s for a French dog by the way

La vache qui rit, anyone? The French cheese brand? Kiri in Germany? … the only stuff I’d eat on my bread as a kid

[thatoneprettypup]

Bit of good ol’ backstory/explanation on the names:

Koah - Koala would be a cute nickname, just sounds real adorable

Tova - Like Nova but not as basic, besides, one of my friends Malinois is called Nova already (short for supernova)

Kiri - explained above

Edda - just sounds cool, reminds me of my cousins name (Tomma, doesn’t sound similar at all, just going off of vibes)

Tess - sounds cool, great to yell across a field

Leen - One of my old favourites, short for Eileen/Ayleen

Tori - short for Victoria, like the vibe
