Reggie

Profile

Reggie arrived late yesterday afternoon after a long trip from a breeder in South Dakota. He was one pooped pup when he got here. He was not very energetic and lacked the puppy energy we are used to. He even had a bit of aggression towards our Golden when she tried to get him to play. What a difference a good night's sleep makes. We put him in his crate at 10:30 and after an hour of crying we took him out and put him next to our bed on a leash...I don't think he moved all night. He woke with puppy energy and a bounce in his step....a very good little boy. After 24 hours with us he has not had an accident in the house yet, but we are pretty sure they will happen, as he is just a pup. He has been great with all four of our kids, ages 4 to 13. He is still a bit shy, but judging from his change in one day, I would say he is going to be a great dog.

Other than ear infections in both ears, he got a clean bill of health. He is 5 1/2 months old and only 26 pounds. The vet feels he will be a smaller Golden. The entire office fell in love with him. He is due to be neutered next Monday, and we will begin looking for his forever home.
