Nope, he’s a Bichon Frisé. We were dog sitting a grown up one for Xmas and decided we liked him so much we’d get our own. I was hoping for a more manly looking dog but what the hell he’s class :-)

That sounds like something you might see on a Menu-
will have to remember that one-Cute Doggie- look after him well-

Beautiful pup, looks very young. Don’t think I’ve ever seen a baby Bichon. Too cute.
If you are interested, these are some great doggy books.
The Art Of Raising a Puppy / How To Be Your Dog’s Best Friend both by, The Monks Of New Skete
The Dog’s Mind by Dr Bruch Fogle
The Dog Listener by Jan FennellThere are heaps of dog training books out there, some of them absolute rubbish, don’t waste you money on them. These are geat, they give some brilliant insights to dog behavior, and also some positive training techniques.
If I had to suggest just one of these books, it would be, The Dog’s Mind.Good Luck with him, he’s lovely. What’s his name?
Thanks. Will defo get one or two of those books. We’ve been reading loads on the internet and had an eye on a book or two specifically for Bichons. There’s almost too much info.
Anyway he’s only 9 weeks old, very young alright but he seems to be settling in well today and I work from home so can give him plenty of attention. While I type this he’s at my feet playing with my laces :-)
Still a bit of debate about his name but I think we’re just about settled on Ollie.
Thanks
Phil
hehehehe, I know a Bichon called Ollie!! Cool name, I like it.
I read a book last year called Walking Ollie (can’t remember the author) it was about a couple thar rescued a Lurcher. Good story, very funny.
I remember buying a few books specificly about Springer Spaniels, but, don’t remember any of them being that helpful.
At this stage though, there is not a lot to worry about where obedience training is concerned. Well, there is the house training I guess, it can be slow at the start, I remember a particular evening when Jess pooed all over the place, faster than I could clean it up, but, when they get it, they get it.
Yeah, the laces, I remember that too :D
Gorgeous little thing, Ollie suits him, dont know if you have Sky
tv but a program called The Dog Whisperer is great for training
techniques, Ceasar Milan is the guys name and he talks a lot of
sense, I have been using his techniques on my own dog who had
no manners at all and she is responding really well, never too early
to start training either.Yeah, saw some of those programs alright. They seem very good. Ollie is pretty good, already after one day he always goes on the newspapers left out for him. I’m surprised how quick he’s learning and fitting in.
I watch the Dog Whisper too, hes brill and with having 3 dogs his tips come in very handy. Enjoy him while hes so small as they grow up very quickly.
Yeah, Cesar Millan is cool too, have his book as well, Cesar’s Way. Worth getting that one too.
This is the lady who started this all off. Daisy. A lovely mild mannered, playful dog. A joy to have in your company.
