Granny's gone and done it again

ya know, when they said she was 5 months I was thinking she might get a little bigger bit not by much. I was thinking they really slowed down by 6 months.

yes, her back comes over frostys by about 3 inches

She's going to rule the roost then.

Large breed dogs take longer to reach full size. Robert should try to get puppy food made for large breeds. It keeps them from growing too quickly which can cause joint problems.
I didn't know that when I raised puppy Belle. She ended up tearing her PCL as a young adult.

Robert can teach her manners. There are good videos on YouTube. Can't start too soon.

Yeah, she's waiting until she's big enough to knock you down!

One thing I seen today was she was nervous around Nancy and Kevin. They would reach their hands out to pet her and she would duck away. That just means she needs more socialization right?

Yes, being around people is good, but I think new people should ignore a puppy and let her approach in her own time.

Also, reaching out to pat puppy on the head is not a good thing, can scare them. Palm up and soft pets under the jaw is usually received better, less aggressive.

oh, well how do you train the people ? LOL I already told Nancy about the jumping.
