u can see here how shiny her coat is. it feels like mink. no, that’s not me. i dont pamper her.
still a very good girl, finally rly housebroken (my fault it took this long, not hers.)
i need to get her out for walks again. she was in heat, so i couldnt. in the meantime she got strong af. so she’s a handful atm.
but still just an amazing, 1 in a million pup.

sorry bout the bird thing, but rt now my peeps there need puppy pics.

current vet advise is usually wait til at least the 1st heat, or 1 yr. let her keep her hormone til she’s full grown, which she wont be for another 8 mos.
breeders advice, too.
