Absolutly unresisteble!
She is so sweet and will probably be very beautiful when she gets older...

She's sweet until you put her in the crate and she whines and howls non stop. I tried Friday night when I went to bed and got no sleep. I put her in the crate this morning before I left for work and she never stopped howling until my mom went upstairs and let her out.

This is going to be hard....

More pics coming!

Have you tried giving her toys in the crate so she can have something to do?

We crate train all of our dogs, it isn't easy, but worth it

She has a stuffed animal to lay with but she chews on it, sniffs it's would be butt and licks it. My sisters puppy is the same way.

They are going to be crate trained whether they like it or not. I just can't deal with the noise at night because I need to sleep so I keep her going during the day and then when it's time to go to bed she passes out on the floor or my bed.

What about putting the crate in your bedroom?

That's what I did the first night she was home. It didn't go very well.

The training today wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. They both whined like crazy for maybe 30-40 minutes but after that they fell asleep. I left animal planet on the tv for them when I went to work. My little sister didn't hear any noise when she came home from school.

More pictures.

A good thing to do is to exercise them for about 45 minutes before they go in the crate, this way they are tired. Kongs are great to stuff treats with and will create a distraction for when you're not home. That should help some with the crate training.

She's gotten much better about being in the crate. She still whines from time to time but once she's in she stretches out and falls asleep. Waking up in the mornings is a whole different story though. Once you're up and moving around and she knows you're awake she wants to come out.

House training is up and down too.

definately see the heeler in her... that's for sure! she's a cutie though

It's definitely coming out in her personality too. I've had to watch how I play with her because she can get really aggressive and I don't want her thinking that she can play that way all the time.

She is a real cutie!!
I just love other people's puppies-LOL
My 3 are 6 -7 and 11 so their puppy days are long gone
Puppies are as much work as they are irresistible but well worth all of the effort
There is no companion better than a good dog
They are your best friend-protector-your own personal source of comic relief and after a long insane day-a pure joy to come home to a be greeted with that wagging tail and lots of doggy kisses
I could go on and on but you guys know what I am talking about

:main_yes:

Good luck and have fun puppy proofing the house-LOL

Here are some more recent pictures. I can't believe how much she's changed. She doesn't even look like a fluffy panda bear anymore. Now it's spots all over her legs, ears and underbelly.

Roxy thinks that because Lucky is allowed to get on the couch and the chairs she is allowed up there too.
