Hi all...i'm trying to figure out just what mix breed our puppy is. We got him as Border Collie/Black Lax X...although sometimes I look at him and he gives off this Pitbull vibe (especially when he's hyper and puts his ears back)...I have photos posted at http://www.zadore.com/gallery/gallery.asp?categoryid=19 (John from previous post- feel free to use any photos on your site if you want!) He's very playful and LOVES to bite everything...especially human limbs ;-)...which brings me to the next question...how do I get him to stop?? I got him different chew toys, but he'll play w/ them for 5 mins and then it's time to chew some ankles and wrists. Tried bitter apple- he finds it to be a treat...loves to lick it ???? He's now about 11 weeks old, and hope he becomes a bit more mellow. I exercise him by playing fetch in the hallway, and take him to the backyard for a few laps around the garden (I've lost 10 Lbs in the past three weeks- bonus!) At that age its hard to tell. Loving to bite is normal for most puppies. Labs are famous for being "mouthy." Labs tend to more take the whole hand in their mouths, while Border Collies have a tendency to be nippy with those sharp puppy teeth. The behavior isn't very breed specific. The same could be said about dozens of breed puppies. If you are expecting a Border Collie x anything to mellow don't hold your breath. Get the video "Sirius Puppy Training" by Ian Dunbar. See if you can find some puppy classes to sign up for. Going to classes with a good trainer is the most effective way for you to learn how to train your pup. Look at this pup as a new and exciting challenge. You will want to channel that energy into something that involves the two of you working together for a goal. There are a lot to choose from.

Thanks for any advice/help p You have two very boisterous mix dogs there. Most people think Labradors are slow and gentle. Not true I thought that.:-) He is a puppy doing puppy things. If you did not then would be the time to worry. With those two mixes he will train very well. He looks lovely Good luck. Pat. |

Don't have any advice other than he is a puppy and that is what puppies
