in minnesota, land of 10,000 lakes, they aren't "hood ornaments"--they are "muskie bait"...
I am more of a DOG person..not a TOY person..hehehe
I really wanted to replace our Golden retriever with a yellow lab...sigh..I got hood ornament instead!
:lol: :lol: "hood ornament"; that's a good one.

What a cutie... my DH and I have two, our son has one, his mom has one, his brother has 4..I can keep going. ha ha ha The very most important thing to know about these dogs..they are bred to hunt..so their nose..works over time. Plus..they are runners. Even if you train them to stay in certain areas of the yard..if something catches their eye..at a blink of an eye they can run right out in the road.

Congratulations on Daisy! She is a little cutie. Do you know a trainer in your area who could give you some guidance? Maybe your vet? The shepherd in my avatar had ‘issues’ to overcome when we got her and bad manners. It took some time and patience but she was definitely worth it.

She does not respond to her name at all...yet I know she knows I am talking to her..doxies tend to ignore you quite well...
she was allowed to bark at you and then expects to JUMP up into your arms...NOT...not only do I not respond to being barked at, I do NOT allow my dogs to jump at anything/anyone/anytime...PERIOD...
She also thinks if it is in the house it must be HER chew toy...again, NOT...so she gets a firm NO, a finger on her nose and a toy put in her mouth and then time in the crate...
We are most terrified of STEPPING on her...

Daisy update...as it has been a little over a week now...what a week...finding out that TINY dogs cost BIG money...just to keep her safe and out of trouble!
Daisy LOVES to eat...out of everybody's dish BUT hers! Daisy still thinks SHE has to have everything FIRST...still working on her understanding N-O means NO...she acts deaf when I say that word...
but all in all..she is amazingly funny, smart, and loving! Harley the big bro doxie has finally forgiven me, and plays chase all day with her..and tug of war too!
BUT he gets to lie next to mom in bed every morning and Daisy gets next to him...and that is all he going to say about HER being the bed at all..ehhehe
