A buddy had one. He said the dog loved to play in the snow.

I have an Alaskan Malamute... Great dogs, and she loves this weather. I thought I lost her once last year when it was this cold and snowy, started calling for her and sure enough she was sleeping where she burried herself in the snow. Have fun with the little guy.

Nice dog. Looks like you already have some good Armor All bottles and car models for him to cut his teeth on

Thanks for the replies fellas. Ive always wanted one. I love the way they look and their blue eyes are so pretty. Does anyone have any tips for training him? Mainly im having trouble trying to get him to stop biting! He wants to bit everything. Everytime someone touches him he thinks their hand is a chew toy!

A stern "NO" will work. That's just the puppy stage. Never hit or beat them, they don't know why you are doing it and they will remember that for ever. And they may turn on you once they get older. My new puppy is 125 pounds and she has a few quirks we have to figure out yet. One thing you definately do not want to do is make a 125 pound Rottie mad at you. This is my fourth one and I love them.
Remember, time and lots and lots of patience and they will be loyal for life.

I've got a 6mnth old Great Dane.

The trick to having a behaved puppy is correcting them the second they do something wrong.

For the first 4 mnths I had him, I followed him every step he took (lucky for me he slept alot). As soon as he would do something bad I would tell him to "leave it". If I gave him a command, I pet him and told him "good boy".

The trick is that rewards, and discipline have to be applied immediatly, and not after the fact.

My g/f has a Pomeranian, and that dog does very well with "positive discipline". That is, no reward for doing bad, just a stern voice for misbehavior, and a treat for doing good, however, my dog, does much better with "negative reenforcement", that is discipline for doiung wrong either a smack, a yell, or roughness, and just a good pet, and a nicew voice for good behavior. It's just different personalities.

Don't discipline your dog when you are angry. You might kick him, or with your adrenaline running from him just chewing your favorite magazine, or game, you may hit him harder than you think. Just yell at him. A dog knows when you are truly mad, you don't have to hit him.

That's my $.02.

Nice dog by the way. You have a handfull there. Lots of energy.

EDIT: One more thing. A puppy is not going to behave by itself. Untill they are a yr old, and have figured you out, they aren't going to automatcly sit by your side, or just sniff the air. They are going to want to run, play, smell, and taste everything. You have to give them the freedom to do that. They will "fall in" to their place as they mature. Inside is for walking, sleeping and eating, and outside is for barking running and playing....

Congrats on the new puppy. We have a 6 month old lab/beagle mix and she is the biggest cuddler there is. Still working on the potty training thing though. That's a pain because she doesn't stop playing to pee, she just pees as she's playing. This is my 4th dog and never had this problem before. Oh well, it will just take more time and patience.

You can try clamping your hand over his mouth, making eye contact, and telling him NO. Then give him a chew toy and lots of praise. You have to do it EVERYTIME he bites. You may want to refrain from tug-o-war games.

There's also Tellington Touch. You put 3 fingers on him somewhere he doesn't mind and lightly rub a small circle about 1 1/4 turns clockwise. Lift your hand, move it a bit and repeat. He should relax and give a big sigh in time. Every once in a while rub a circle in the area that bugs him and go back immeadiately to the area he doesn't mind. Google for a better description.

Letting him play with another puppy a couople times a week will help with the biting too. Try to find one about the same size. Watch for excessive ramming into each other that can damage the growth plates in puppies. Take their collars off. I've heard horror stories of people losing dogs by them getting their jaws and legs caught in each other's collars.


Good luck with him. He's a fine looking dog.
