Panda's hair has grown and he's put on weight, 800grams. That's a lot for a 3kg dog. We've renamed him Pandamonium, that seems to suit him: high energy levels and always up for a game, whether we want to play or not, but he is very persuasive.
The woman we bought him from wasn't very truthful: He hasn't been vaccinated since he was a pup,in 2019. He also obviously hasn't been checked for patela luxation as she claimed. I noticed he skips on his right rear leg so checked his knee, very loose.
He's quite a fast learner, so far: Sit, stand, stand on his hind legs, beg, walk on his hind leg, speak on command, spin and stay, if he feels like it. I load him into the trailer behind my ebike and take him down to the beach and the local park a few times a week. The park has a few dog obstacles, lots of jumps, logs, tunnels, scaling boards, that sort of thing. Absolutely loves it, picked it up very quickly.
Pandamonium is house trained now and sleeps on the bed, wandering outside when he needs to toilet. Waking hours he likes to sit on my lap and wrestle, or sit next to the wife and help her solve the crosswords. Dogs are very good at working out what we people are good at: I'm good at playing and wrestling apparently, whereas the wife is good at relaxing and crosswords!
His hair has grown, not as long as normal pommy hair, but we'll keep it fairly short as in the last two pics.
He loves chasing his ball, so I bought' hIm a basketball sized ball, he took to that straight away and learned very quickly how to steer it around the yard. A little too enthusiastically though, he wore his nails down until they bled, so I had to retire the big ball.
Apparently he's a fox faced, tricolur parti, pomeranium. We never bothered chasing his pedigree papers, that doesn't interest us at all. We think the PO was hiring him out for breeding purposes. He was kept in a crate all day for around 10 hours when the woman was as work. When home he wasn't allowed inside, so didn't have a lot of human interaction. Now be has a pack he absolutely thrives on the interaction, but suffers terribly from separation anxiety. All our dogs have, but Pandamonium takes it to a new level.
