So we were supposed to get our puppy last Thursday, but...The breeder let us know a couple weeks ago that our puppy was turning out to be on the smaller side and was a really timid guy, probably because he was the smallest in the litter. Cavachons are outgoing dogs in general, so we decided with the breeder that it would be best if they kept him an extra week and put him with younger puppies to see if he would come out of his shell a little. Well, we called Tuesday night to check on him, and they said that some boys had been in to play with the puppy that they are taking home in three weeks. Our puppy was with that litter. While the boys were there, they tried to pick up our puppy, and he yelped and was very bothered. They said that they have never seen a puppy be so afraid of heights, and that he's also bothered by loud noises. Definitely not the dog for us...
The picture at the top is the dog that we are getting instead! He is going to be bigger (probably 15-16 lb. as an adult) and he is already more outgoing even though he is three weeks younger.
We are supposed to get him around August 26th. We're all disappointed about the wait, but that will give this heat wave time to go away.
Any name suggestions? We had named the other puppy Crockett, and now we're not sure if we should call this one Crockett? Or choose a new name?
You can call him Tubbs. :) Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteSo as I was reading this I started to think, oh no, not again...but you are getting a puppy after all. He is cute, not name ideas, sorry
ReplyDeleteTubbs might be a fitting name... We'll think of a good one once he gets here!
