And yes, I think he will be big... expecting him to top out at 80-90 pounds.<BR/><BR/>Thank you Steve, and I agree... lab mixes are great! Regarding potty training... crate training works wonders, rarely fails actually. Small-dogs aren't generally my cup of tea either but I do like dachshunds and corgis.Nonsequiturhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173868118973875988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20267393.post-15481548774386315332008-10-02T01:44:00.000-04:002008-10-02T01:44:00.000-04:00Adorable dog!

I am a big dog lover, you've probably seen our lab on my blog.<BR/><BR/>About a month ago, we got a chihuahua/terrier mix to replace the lab we lost at the first of the year. Our daughter fell in love with this dog at the pound, so we got him. I've been blogging how different this small dog is from the big one. Not to talk bad about the new puppy but.....<BR/><BR/>He's not getting the potty training and intellectually, he is far below the lab. Far below. We're already bonding with him and will just deal with things as best we can, but it has reaffirmed my preference for big dogs, specifically labs because they are always so eager to please. They WANT to learn.Steve Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797856165404512356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20267393.post-58938226603535458582008-08-21T09:29:00.000-04:002008-08-21T09:29:00.000-04:00Wow, that's gonna be a big ol' dog!I too have expe...Wow, that's gonna be a big ol' dog!<BR/><BR/>I too have experienced lots of bad unexpected and am downright shocked by good unexpected. :-)CrackerLilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176388186521154104noreply@blogger.com
