Well, yes, yes it is. Sometimes more of a shun look as “don’t bother me” or I will let you feel my displeasure. As always, respect the death blades.The pose of indifference...

Unfortunately things didn't work out. LuLu was supposed to arrive this past Wednesday from Texas but supposedly the shippers truck broke down, then it was in the shop and they couldn't get parts and then they post online they're looking drivers. Seemed like one excuse after another so with no ETA my daughter who's dog it was going to be asked for her deposit back. And now back to the drawing board and we'll keep looking.Well we finally found our 12 week old rescue beagle mix….her name is LuLu and her ETA from Texas to here in MA is Oct 26th…She’s the one on the left with the spots
Hey Mike she's gorgeous, glad she finally made it there. The puppy expressions are . Are you seeing any trait of either breed?I'll be glad when she's done teething....my poor arm
Yup, that’s the way I see it too. Dahlia was probably at least two when we rescued her, so well past the puppy chewing stage. Having a two-ish year old German Shepherd trying to chew on your wrist is clearly a dominance thing. Trained that out in a hurry. We’re good now, two years and counting.Hey Mike she's gorgeous, glad she finally made it there. The puppy expressions are . Are you seeing any trait of either breed?
May I ask...by 'my poor arm' you mean she's wanting to play tug o war constantly? Or is she actually mouthing your arm? I once had a dog do the mouthing thing and it lead to some behavioural issues were thankfully trained out with the help of a pro dog trainer. He advised that it's normal for pups to do this and folks commonly just think it's affection/play whereas it's actually a dominance thing. Just saying...
Thank You…ohhh yeah she loves playing tug of war….nothing I see unusual or aggressive with her mouthing on my arm…we were just playing,typical for puppies it’s just her teeth are like little needles and broke my skin…similar to getting scratched by a cat..My other dog Busta was a 12 week old pup when we rescued him and he was the same way…Hey Mike she's gorgeous, glad she finally made it there.

As an owner of numerous rescue dogs, I can attest that virtually all rescue dogs that aren't obviously puppies or senior citizens or have a paper trail are ~2 years old [/wink wink]. Two years old is a sweet spot of desirability. Shelters have plausible deniability of any subterfuge.Dahlia was probably at least two when we rescued her, so well past the puppy chewing stage.
