i owned a dog since many years.
its  my first time visit here,say hello to all owners here

they have personalities, some dogs when they're puppy, they dont really like to play with humans, they like to play among themselve. but if they're alone, they will come. but u must always let them know who's the master. i do have problem with my gf's doberman when he was a puppy, never listen to commands and extreamly plalyful. about a year later; now, he's matured and totally a loveable dog. and both our maltese, doberman and a cat seems to live in a happy family. seriously, the cat will want to pat the doberman, doberman will make noise calling for the cat, the maltese sleep together with the cat. who says dogs and cats fight?

hey WP,long tim din c u on9 in msn d..wher hav u been..haha...bz with dogs?hehe..
anyway.anyone here know how 2 discover whether the dog is pregnant onot?i jz mate my dog 12days ago..kancheong kancheong~

Since this is Dog Lover Kopitiam, I assume if I have anything to say, rant or whatever thats worrying me about my dog, I can post here?

Anyway, I just got myself a dog this morning, it's a West Highland White Terrier aka Westie. I have been looking very long for one and I was previously quoted RM2,300 being the cheapest to RM5,000 being the most expensive. At a point of time, I even went to the extend of asking my cousin bring one back for me from Gold Coast Australia.

My Westie is born on 16/10/2006. Today, he is 2 and 1/2 months old. His name is Casper.

My gf saw a newspaper article on The Star yesterday and so we called up the breeder who happens to live about 2 minutes walk away from my gf's house. Darn small world!! Because its rare and quite hard to find, Westies are priced very expensive. However, because this Westie was born during the flight (import of the Dam), the breeder has some complications with immigrations and etc, thus Casper and his two sisters in this liter was not registered with MKA. Thus, no cert so cheaper at RM1,600. Hell, screw the cert and the money because I want it regardless.

View the dog 11pm last night, bought the dog 11am this morning. Our paths are destined to cross.

So, I picked up Casper after breakfast at 11am. I brought it to the vet for check up and that took us like 1 hour+ because of the jam and queue at the clinic. After Casper was dewormed, we took him to the pet store to get his selection of food, toys and treats. On the way there, he vomitted on me. My gf is a dog-lover for few years, much more experience than I have - told me it's normal due to car ride and also the de-worming medication.

So, after buying the pet store, we went home to my gf's place and then sent the car to wash. Casper played around at the compound happily for about 1 hour and I decided to pick up the car and bring him home to my own place.

Brought him home, my sister was happy! My mom wasnt too happy bout it, worrying I dont have the responsibility to take care of the dog, blah. I'll show her!!

I let Casper run around the house and also the compound. He poo-ed outside and we had to clean it. Then he pee-d like five times in the house but we are fine with that. We learn to accept it as our responsibility since we wanted the dog so badly.

I fed it another time at 6pm at the evening. Blackwood, given to us by the breeder. Casper finished it within minutes and drank plenty of water. So, we put Casper in his cage, went out for dinner and came back. He didnt poo or pee. I was told that pups usually do their business within 1 hour after meal?

Anyway, it was until 11pm that Casper was still awake. I carried the whole cage up to my room with aircond. I put more cloths inside his cage as blankets and etc but he bite it and drag it all over. So, I guess he will never learn to appreciate blanket so I put the cage and Casper in it back downstairs with ceiling fan turned on and also the ridsect mosquitoe repellent plugged into the socket of the wall - odorless.

I hope I dont wake up to a pile of dog shit and pee tomorrow morning. If my mom throw a fit at 7am, I will know what went wrong.... It's tiring, its peeing everywhere, it puked on me even, but its really wonderful.

Just sharing my experience, thanks for reading.

Sorry if anyone find it annoying that I keep posting this. This is day-2 at home and I woke up at 7am just to check on Casper. He has poo-ed in the cage, also pee-d.

Dogs usually dont poo and pee at where they sleep but then this is my first time, inexperience. Fed him too much and drank too much before sleep. Starting tonight, every night, I will take him out for a walk, pee first before sleeping.

Wake up at 7am, wash his cage, fed him but he didnt finish. Give him water to drink from the bowl. He played outside with me all morning till 10am, come in the house... Terus pee on the floor, ALAMAK!! Now, 11am and he FINALLY got tired and goes to sleep. Cage door is open but he sleep outside the cage with the floor mat. Poor thing got separated from his family - I feel so bad.

Now I brought Casper out for another car ride to the pet store to buy a leash, a collar, a comb and a small packet of treats. Everything went wrong.

On our way back, he puke again on my gf's jeans, the chair and floor mat in the car. I had to wash the floor mat, my gf wasnt too happy but she understands, I have to febreze my leather seat... Man, that was insane.

I tied the collar to Casper and the bell tingles, so Casper will pause and jump backwards to see who is behind him. Another thing is that he hates the leash because block him from freedom. Tell him come, he wont come. Tie him leash, he dont like. How you guys train your puppy to come? Should I still put him on leash?

Bought him a pack of Oiishi treats from BARK brand and he dont even like it one bit. Maybe cause he just puke, will try again later.

No cert la, can go meh? Sorry I dont know much about dogs. Where is the event held? If there's some obedience training class, I would like to attend because Casper does not understand what "COME" means even. I have to add he has only been home for two days now. I doubt if he knows Casper is his name.

How do you guys decide in between doing dog biz indoor or outdoor? I live in a double storey terrace. I have a newspaper set up indoor at my living room, next to a unused piano. Everytime he does his biz elsewhere indoor, I will scold him, point to the poo, scold the poo even and then bring him to the newspaper and tell him to poo there, pat his head and tell him good dog. So far it have NOT work.

At the same time, whenever we let him out after he wakes up, we have to go out with him. In the house compound, he will do his biz anywhere outdoor. When I say outdoor here, it means my house compound. Not too big for a double storey.

So, I'm kinda worried here if he will get confused, to poo outdoor or poo on the newspaper. At the same time, should I just keep him indoors, so all his biz is done to the newspaper?

Also, at the piano, he sees his own reflection. Will it affect doing his biz at all? Like somebody watching him. At first, he was so afraid he walked backwards, now its better, he dare to walk there now.

Two things I have to ask... dog odor, how to get rid? Also, his hind legs are always use to scratch somewhere near his testicles or inner thigh, when I look at it, nothing seems wrong - no rashes even though thats what I thought first... I am sending him to his check up and another jab on Saturday. Hope he doesnt puke again.

Because I have been with my puppy, Casper for 12 hours straight today, I feel rather tired to keep up with him. It's 8.30pm and he crawled back into his cage and went to sleep. I feel bad for caging him but I cant afford him to poo and pee all over the house in the night.

What time does a 2 - 3 months old puppy usually sleep? Is 8.30pm a little too early? I feel so much guilt and hope that the whole house-breaking process will speed up so he can come sleep with me in the night.

I think I will apply your method. Caged unless I am around. But where did you find the patience to clean up after him? Especially if you carry him to the newspaper, his pee still splurting out. Then when you wipe, he comes to kaypoh and step all over. Before you can catch him to wash his paws, he ran all over the house, then you have to mop the entire place. It's giving me a heart-attack.
