Updated pics of Diesel.

What a guy!  My husband just commented this morning on how much Diesel has grown and he has!  A solid as can be pup.  When you pick him up, he really settles and all his weight is on you.  He is very trusting that you will not drop him.  He loves snuggling on the couch with me in the evenings after everyone has been fed, including us.  Happily lies with you even if you put a blanket on him - he is like a furry bottle warmer.

Diesel has a lovely, non shedding coat that feels so silky and soft.  I am still working with him on training.  He knows his name, sit and come.  We are working on 'Leave it', 'Stay' and 'Down'.  I love that he generally (not always) sits to greet people, it is only when they stop patting him that he tries to jump on them as if to say 'don't stop'!

He is fed three times a day and sits before the bowl is put down - he loves to eat and is very food motivated, so makes for an easy pup to work with.  He has not started barking yet and I hope to keep it that way although all my adults here make up for it!!

I am happy to have visitors here to meet Diesel for a possible guardian home opportunity.  In these pics taken today, he is 12 1/2 weeks old.  Sleeps in his crate well and is also very good at having 'settle time' when you need to do something.  He is a good car rider and his temperament is engaging, friendly and welcoming.  He plays well with friendly dogs.
