Our new little boy ❤️

Do a DNA test on him. And start a What is This Dog poll, with rewards, lol.

If he's part dachshund I'll eat feathers.

I kind of want to do one but I also want to live in fantasy that he's a lab plus they are so expensive...are they really accurate?

I voted Timber! He's a very handsome little man, please tell him so and give him an extra pat for me!!

Aha! A "foster fail," lol!
I do not know if the DNA test is expensive or not. Sorry.

I can't decide between the names, so I won't be voting there. On the "what breed(s)" front, I'll go with a doberman/pinscher mix, maybe a bit of gundog in there. Congrats again on your new addition!

From what I understand, embark is slightly pricey, but good. I believe they do sales, and I believe they do discounted packs. Even if just for fun/cost, might be worth embarking both dogs

I'll go see what Amazon has to offer, part of me definitely wants to know what he is especially for when I get him an akc number

Well I think we decided on a name and it's not even part of the poll Oakley! Plus it matched the tree theme, Willow and Oakley

Oakley is good.

I would think the "etc." includes stairs. Etc. is short for "Et" (and) + "cetera" (so forth), so it means "and everything else." Basically be careful letting him put weight on those front legs in any kind of jumping activity. I didn't say "no" because that would be virtually impossible. He's a puppy. Puppies play. Just keep an eye on him and don't encourage rough play, running and jumping.

Yeah, I was asking if "no furniture" instead of "be careful of furniture" is better. But you're right it's impossible to keep them off of those things completely.

I mean, you can probably keep them off when you're around to supervise and evantually they'll learn they're not allowed, but ... unless you crate you can't be 100% sure.
