We recently adopted a new little puppy who we have named Violet. We had been thinking about getting a new puppy for awhile and I had been looking at pit bull rescue website but we just couldn't find one that would be a perfect fit. Then a few weeks ago I was driving home and there was a free puppies sign... I had to stop and that when we found Violet.
She was only 6 weeks old at the time. We are not sure what kind of dog she is. The lady said the mom she thinks is part Chow (I didn't think she looked chow) and she thinks the dad might have been a Rottweiler from the neighborhood. She had 10 puppies that she just couldn't afford to keep any longer. So that how we got Violet. She is now 9 weeks old has been to the vet twice and so far has a clean bill of health.
Her a Frederick have been doing ok together. At first he was a little rough. I mean he is a 60 pound dog used to playing with dogs his size and here we bring home a 6 pound puppy. He had to learn to be gentle. It didn't take Violet long to learn how to play rough though. Even though she is only 10 pounds now she runs up and try to tackle him. We are having a little bit of trouble with her nipping at him which has cause Frederick to regress a bit and nip back. Luckily with other dogs he is still just as nice as he always has been. Most of the time they seem to get along unless they are fighting over a bone. The best time is when they are tired and fall asleep together.
This is what I pictured when I thought about getting a second dog. Hopefully as she gets bigger we will stop the biting and she will grow up to be just as behaved as Frederick. Only time will tell.
