Keiko - Keshisuki's Kanzakura's 1st Birthday! updated with new pics!!
We picked up our JA pup, Keiko (sister of @venus Eris) this morning
The 2hr journey went well and she didn't have any accidents or cry at all. Obviously she has been a little distressed but she seems to be settling in well. She's not eating much at the moment but that's normal for a newly homed pup.
Training has started from the second she got home. So far no potty accidents (fingers crossed) She's a real fuss pot and loves a good tummy rub!! She is sleeping well but will sleep anywhere apart from her new (expensive) bed lol!

So far she is a pleasure (we'll see how long that lasts lol!), she seems to be unfazed by noises and people and sleeps like a log. I don't think she will make a guard dog anytime soon though as when someone knocked the door and she was just sitting down she looked up briefly and then just lay down and went to sleep!
If any of you have any tips on how to get her settled when in a enclosed space away from us and to eventually get her to sleep through the night your advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
(...and I also can't just let it go by without lauding that someone spelled 'unfazed' correctly )
Brindle is better! Banzai!
She is a little sweet heart who is a sucker for a belly rub and loves meeting new people! Although she has her mischievous moments and has taken to picking up one of her toys taking it over to something she knows she isn't allowed to chew and chew the toy right next to it and then suddenly move on to the forbidden item so she is definitely one to watch! I can't wait until she is fully vaccinated and I can take her to the park! She is still unfazed by most things; although she is scared of the washing up bowl which is funny when things like the vacuum, lawn mower etc don't bother her lol :-/ If any of you have any other techniques I can use with regards to the bite inhibition once again advice is very welcome!
She is a lovely affectionate pup who is cheeky and mischievous. Her training is going well and she is learning some really good behaviors although she has around one day a week where it all seems to go out the window and she is naughty lol I have decided I would like to start showing her so we are attending ring craft classes from Monday and fingers crossed she wont be having one of her naughty days
falling asleep on her toy after a day out!
Eating my garden lol!
Me on a walk with Keiko
Attempting to catch a fly!
She absolutely loves people and even wags her tail when we have our groceries delivered at the delivery guys! I have changed her to a raw diet and she is doing really well on it. I changed her because she kept getting tummy upsets and it has really helped, her coat looks amazing too so glossy! She is very stubborn as expected especially when I want to get her in from the garden she will not come unless she can see a treat/toy in my hand. Her bite drive increased when she was teething but we have really managed to get a handle on it and folding arms and ignoring seems to work well.
The thing I wanted to ask was about 'burying' treats. Keiko keeps burying paddywacks, pigs ears and occasionally bones in her bed and once in my bed. She has only started doing in recently and will moan if she cant get to a place where she wants to bury the treat. Have any of you experienced this?
Plotting how she can eat the sheep!
Some off lead play time with some of her dog friends!
Watching the birds!
Show stance!
Lazy days!
Trying to show me she can walk herself!
@Hubble digging certainly runs in the family my gardens full of holes and paddywacks lol I saw from the pics you posted their white markings are so similar the same as their moms!
