  • Welcome back!

    We decided to spruce things up and fix some things under the hood. If you notice any issues, feel free to contact us as we're sure there are a few things here or there that we might have missed in our upgrade.

6 week old EM weighs only 7 ibs

Good! That's a nice beginning to weight gain. Boris at six wks (weighed by our breeder) was 10 lbs. So Tyson, comparatively, is not that much smaller; and slow but steady growth is better than really rapid big jumps in weight.

One thing you might prepare for is that the period from 5 - 8+ weeks is when puppies learn bite inhibition from their Mums and siblings. Hence, you may need to work a bit harder to help your puppy learn it when he becomes more active and playful.

He is definitely a cutie pie!!

We have been working a lot on not bitting. As well as leash training. He is learning the wait command as well. He knows outside is where to potty but doesn't let me know when he needs to go. How does your dog let you know he needs to go outside? Any training tips is much appreciated!

They don't tell you till they are older..... If they play, they go out, if they eat, they go out, when they wake, they go out....... Your pup is a cutey, looks a lot like my Lily..... Who is now 6 months & will stand by the gate & give me the look & I know I have about 3.l5 secs to get her outside to do her duty......
