Dickens is Here!

I picked him up at Laguardia Airport on Christmas eve afternoon around 12:30 p.m. I posted some pics of his first day, which should be up shortly. He's absolutely beautiful, very inquisitive. We all love him, and Dickens is so good with all the kids. The breeder has 5 kids, so I think that helped.
We've been having fairly good luck with potty training- he gets it about 50% of the time- not sure if that's because we've been paying attnention or he gets it a bit. Have been taking him to one area in the yard, and that seems to work. One thing- he doesn't seem to like the treats I bought for him and was going to the store today to try something else? Any suggestions? The one I got was ProTreat beef liver treats- they don't seem soft enough for him.
Dickens is vey social and loves playing with the kids. Nips a bit with the 5 year old but just playful.
The breeder included a note from Santa Claus, and we ended up giving Dockens to the kids that afternoon. We told Kaden (the 5 year old) that Santa brought him early becasue it was too cold for a puppy to ride in the sliegh at night. He was suitably impressed.
So far so good!

Congrats!! Woohoo!! :)

As far as treats go, I'd stick with either just using his puppy kibble or something very bland, like the small plain milkbone treats. Puppies have a more sensitive digestive system and just like human babies, new foods and treats need to be introduced slowly.
Stacey is right, just little pieces of kibble work great for treats fro a pup.

CAN'T WAIT TO see the pictures!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome home Dickens :kiss:
Welcome home Dickens! 8)

We used the Recipe treats you can get at the grocery store,
they are small and in fun flavors like liver and cheese. :lol:
Milk bones are a great suggestion, they have puppy size
treats to.
Thanks- I'll try that.
