Morning all,

First nite with Beau the Great Mountainees Doodle ,, started out noisy when his first night/time without his 11 little mates , in his crate. Think it was only 30-45 minutes of barking/bellyaching,, par for the course with pups.
So far 100% batting average on potty duty ,,
Luckily the pack goes outside fairly often, so he will get plenty of opportunities to figger out the routine.

Along with getting used to his new house/digs,,, he is scoring bonus points for doing a biggie in my head for dog stuff,,, lays at my feet.

Other dogs were mostly cool with a newb here,,, but they did give me a “hey, this ain’t one of those long dogs you bring here short term like before 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️”.
Max , the long hair long dog is prob the biggest cold shoulder of the pack,, he was not cool with a new dawg here,, but has gotten less snarky this far. Think the biggest part is that Max is REALLY bonded to me and thinks he is my favorite ( kinda sorta true,, but they all are, don’t tell him that🤫) Hence a bit of coldness/jealousy.

Have not checked in with Sis as to how her night went with Rumor, her new gal pup.

On to the day,. And imagine I will have to be the good dad and spend time with the pup , and let the bonding and assimilation blossom.

And while nothing against mixed breed mutts,, I was not keen of “designer” dogs,,, mix matching breeds for a strictly a cute look aspect. The breeding for specific dogs /needs back when,, hunting/protection etc., I get. Even the different coat types of Doxies were “created” for specific jobs in “Badger Hunting”. One( long coat I believe ) was to sniff/find,, wire coat was the “muscle” after the regular/short coat went in da badger whole to get the critter ( don’t quote me , but I think I’m kinda close to what coat variety was bred for what job)
But then again,, the first domestic dogs were from 🤷🏻‍♂️ heritage,,
Mostly/only since since Sis had a Pyrdoodle , and now a GMD from the same breeder and got to know the dog/“breed” of hers,, was the reason I folded on getting one 🤷🏻‍♂️.
