Our family is growing


(Don't get too excited, grandparents)
We have a new addition to our family: Idle z Weberhaus
Meeting our newest family member
He is 9 weeks old, working lines (Czech & DDR), a dark sable, and absolutely perfect. Hailing from Kansas and the amazing Malinda Weber of Weberhaus GSDS, he is impeccably bred and and cute as can be.  
 V- Miky z Treasnaku Zvv3 IPO3, Sch3 KKL1*
SG- Erra Buranos Lobos Zvv3 BH
His parents are quite impressive and he has all of the genetic foundation to be exactly what we are looking for: rock solid nerve, fantastic temperament, great & SAFE around kids and animals, fun, happy, trainable, and go-anywhere. Now we just have to hope that we don't mess him up.
This puppy has Trouble written all over him
I will be the first to admit: I forgot just how much work a puppy is. He has absolutely no clue about anything, from his name to where to potty. His manners are atrocious: he jumps and bites and chews and doesn't listen and is basically your typical 9 week old puppy. Poor Nora has a new sentence that she repeats regularly: "He bite me! Baby dog bite me!"  
They have a love-hate relationship
Run and you will be chased
Which, to her credit, is accurate. He has tiny little needle teeth and loves to attack your ankles as you walk by. Poor thing (Nora....and me). I wish his (deliberately indifferent) big sis Miss Beyla would accept him and start to play with him so he would use those tiny teeth on her instead of on us. I think she knows something we don't....
The Grande Dame puts puppy in his place
But he is everything we hoped for and while I know it will take some work to get there, I am certain that he will fulfill what we were hoping to find in our next dog. 
Who doesn't love this sweet face?
