Hi all, my name is Andrew and currently I am the owner of two wonderful dogs and part owner of another (I say part owner because my girlfriend's dog spends a lot of time with us). So first off, my pride and joy is my German Shepherd, Howitzer. The best $70 I've ever spent. He was found as a stray puppy in San Diego with parvo. I adopted him at three months and he is now currently 2 1/2. He displays a very laid back relaxed demeanor, but like most germans he is very sensitive. Next, I have my 8 month old Bassador that I adopted recently, Kimber. Very sweet little girl, with a fiesty side. Since joining the family -- she became an attention seeking daddies girl, who is trying to figure out where she belongs in the pack. Acts out just as you expect a puppy would.
Onto the reason why I joined the forums in the first place. My girlfriend's dog, Fox. He is a 1 1/2 year old. Australian Shepherd, beagle, pug mix (I think). He is a very affectionate dog, with many great attributes. But those only go so far and are quickly turned off by all his bad habits. He is very sneaky and loves chewing anything and everything. He can be disciplined, but moments after his punishment is up he will just go back to what he got yelled at over. i.e. eating out of the literbox, climbing on the table when no one is looking, attacking the cat, eating our food if we leave the room for a second. He has gone through dog boot camp, but I think he might be a little slow. I love this dog to pieces, but he is starting influence the puppy into committing his shenanigans. If anyone has suggestions, that would be great!!
