I will call the breeder tonight. When I was there he had the four pups together in a playpen and they were eating puppy chow and they had water. He said the first time he gave the pups the puppy chow they went right to it and ate it readily. The mother and father were nearby, but not with the pups. I believe he said he does put the pups together with the mother most of the time, but separates them so the pups can eat the chow. Is this the correct thing for him to be doing? They are 6.5 weeks old.   I have another question. I've seen online DVDs claiming to tell you how to train chis specifically. In the ads they say that chis require training methods that differ from other breeds and their product will let you in on the 'secrets'. Any truth to this??

I met my new 6 1/2-week old baby chi today and put a deposit down. I'll get her next week. She's SO cute! She's mainly white with some tan spots. Her parents were there at the breeders. Nice people.. nice dogs too! Thinking of names... I went and bought her a layette LOL... a little pink tank dress, a little pink flowered collar, leash, carrier, bowls, toys, blanket... all in pink!. Anyway, I've rescued a few adult beagles and a pom, but have only had one pup (a beagle) ever in my life. Does anyone have any advice on housebreaking my chi? Feeding her? When are they old enough to begin obedience training? Lucy in NJ Do you Yahoo!? Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail Beta. __._,_.___ " Lets talk about our wonderful little friends!
