I love dogs.... mine are the best. I have four dogs; Evy, Boy-Boy, Mona Lisa, and Koko. Evy, beagle/poodle, was an untrained and hyper dog when I first got her. She was peeing and pooing everywhere, and chewed on everything. It took me six months to fully puppy pad, crate, and outdoor train her. Then she had puppies and I raised them from birth until they were adopted out around six months. I made sure they survived and trained them to be the best puppies ever! Puppies when they are born can't see and are like reptiles. They must be kept in a room above 80 degrees for two weeks until they develop proper body temperature. Puppies first milk (Colostrum) is important. I f they don't get that first serving of essential vitamins and minerals they will die. but to keep that from happening and to make sure they did survive, I put Colostrum formula in Evy's food. In order to keep them safe from infection, I put clean cardboard down in every section of the room and housed them in large cardboard boxes layed down with blackets for warmth.. I essentially created a giant base half the size of a bedroom. it was very small at first but as they grew, I made it bigger. I took away the boxes and just had a kennel around two months, They were crate trained, puppy pad trained, and outdoor trained. There were four beagle/poodle/dachshund pups. Boy-Boy, Mona Lisa, Eclipse, and Koko. Boy-Boy is headstrong and sweet. Mona Lisa is just like her mother, hardheaded but very intelligent. Eclipse is the gentleman; first to listen. And Koko is the center of attention; jealous but very loyal. Eclipse got adopted, my mom took Boy-Boy and Mona Lisa and I kept Koko. I love them all, even though they chewed up my carpet. I love dogs. I know about dogs personalities, how to respond to them, and recognize their moods. The key to taking care of a dog is patience. You just have to take your time with a dog and see what they do and how they act and what they like. I am available everyday in from 7 to 3. Everyday except Sundays.
