Re: [IceHorses] she needs a name
> she's part pomeranian and part shih tzu Pomer-tzu She's too cute. Has that puppy Yorkie look. The pee pads actually work pretty good. With winter and snow, they'll probably be easier. Good sign that she's using the paper towels. Arnie uses the pads for 90% of his 'accidents'. He uses them in the middle of the night instead of waking me up. He still seems to need to go between his last time out at 11:00 and 5:00 or 6:00 am. Seven hours seems to be his limit. Our 11 yo diabetic frequently wakes me up between 2 and 3 to go out. If she does that we're usually safe for the night. When we went to see Arnie for the first time at 6 weeks he and his brother must have peed 3 times in the hour we were there being 'interviewed' to see if we were good enough to have one of her pups. She wasn't going to let us have him until he was 12 weeks old, but at 10.5 she let us have him. I think she was tired of us calling and asking to come and visit all the time. The little guys are fun, but they do take a lot of attention. Get lots of toys and nyalabones for them to chew We stay away from the raw hide, we had a close call with it once. Their little systems are a bit less forgiving. Our dogs must have at least 50 toys and really enjoy the variety. They are always going to their toy box and pulling out another one. -- Anna Southern Ohio

she's part pomeranian and part shih tzu Ok, I give up: what's the designer name for that? :) A friend of my daughter is breeding shih tzu's and Yorkies... don't ask what Emily calls them.

Sophie is perfect. We had a Dalmation grandog named Sophie. If you're going to paper train her, there are some pads made just for that purpose. Nancy

Lacy, our newest member is now 6 months old, she was SO HARD To Potty Train, oh my goodness... I could not believe it, her half brother was so easy.Shorty, is 18 months old and really does NO WRONG, then we got Lacy, She is a handful... but, I think I finally have her 98% housetrained, Actually Dan did it, cause He can tell when she has to go, better then I do... She does this little dance, back and forth, and now, I can hear it and tell One thing I have learned over the years, is, some dogs, not all, but some dogs, Pee to GO OUT... They get confused and think that if I pee, then they let me out... I have had 3 dogs over the years like that... with them, I put them in the crate when they PEE in the house, then after a few minutes, of them sitting there being quiet, I let them outside... Lacy was one of them, so, at about 3 or 4 months, I tried that with her... Little ones like yours, well, ya just go out a lot, I also say, "Better go now!" because this then becomes a Pee Command later on.

Re: [IceHorses] she needs a name
is she a yorkie wanda? From her pic its hard to judge her size. How big is she?? she is just a cute little bunnee. Annas yorkies are about the teeniest I ever saw! Just remember the mean part of a pit bull terrier is the terrier. you have to teach them to be nice. Ruby sits in my lap and when the big dogs walk by she goes g and bares her teeth haha. She is the BOSS. Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
Re: [IceHorses] she needs a name
i think hard to housebreak is a terrier thing! I have had several and they were all hard to housebreak. Our blue heeler and austrailian shepherd just housebroke theirselves. They just seemed to naturally want to go outside. Ruby acts like she is too afraid to have me out of her sight to go do her business so when I let her out i have to stand there on the porch the whole time while she watches me like a hawk to make sure i dont leave her. She is ok if I dont leave her out of her crate at night or when we arent home. She never soils her crate. or the car. When I go riding on cool days she comes along and sleeps in the truck the whole time and has never had an accident in there. The best housebroken terrier I had was my westie Pearl. I went on a long car trip across country with her when she was new to me, about 4 months old, and the car was so full of junk she had to sit in a tiny little space and I would stop often to let her go. By the end of the trip she was perfectly housebroken, so I learned from that the crate method is best since its about the same principal. but ruby would rather have an accident by the front door than wake me up and take a chance she might run outside and be swallowed up into the twilite zone and never see me again.

RE: [IceHorses] she needs a name
Hi Wanda VERY cute puppy. For house training remember that small dogs have small bladders and need to go out more often. I have used the clicker to help house train and it was very effective. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com

Arnie's 8 mos old and he still has 'accidents'. They tend to have a lot of reasons for not doing their business outside-too cold, it's raining and I don't want to get wet, I forgot to go while I was outside, I was too busy smelling everything and running as fast as I can, I'd rather just go here in the bathroom where you go. I even got the newest puppy training book put out by one of the vet schools to brush up on my training technique. I took him to work with me for the first few months so that I could work on housebreaking him and socializing him. He did quite well but still has accidents. Remember a puppy usually can only hold it for the number of hours of his age in months plus one- 4 month old can hold for 5 hours. Crate training helps but I had a hard time keeping him locked in there when he wants to be with the other dogs and us. At least with small dogs you only have small messes and they are so darned cute. -- Anna Southern Ohio

We have petmart and stuff but those places seem expensive! I got ruby a little army bomber jacket, satin, with sargent stripes :) at walmart for 12 bucks. My daughter knitted me a little neck scarf for christmas, and I got some pipe cleaners and I am trying to make ruby a scarf that will wave out in the air behind just like the red baron, so be on the lookout for more ruby and teev pics haha. My husband has a paper mask for his nose and mouth, and I am gonna paint it black with shoe polish and see if I can get it to look like a little helmet. Any more helmet ideas for her? I bought a little girls swim hat at the goodwill but it doesnt work, altho it is very very funny, it pulls the hair around her eyes so they pull up into slits like she has had a bad face lift. I laughed so hard I almost fell off the couch and she was of course, very very deeply offended... your puppy should not develop self confident issues until a little older so now would be ideal for dressing her in humiliating outfits and taking lots of pics and getting her to enjoy sitting on a horse's back.\ hurry up and name her i am getting tired of calling her "the puppy" Janice -- yipie tie yie yo
