What sort of mutt have you got ? Some are more strong willed than others
Yes a mutt. Cavalier spaniel / poodle. Some fancy name for them, but a mongrel.
Wife chose it because she is a teddy bear (bitch, not wife - although wife has her moments).
We just got exactly the same.
Got at 10 weeks, not too bad so far.
Wife treats it like a baby, I treat it like a dog.
Yep. They are a dog, ours sleeps shut in kennel, albeit in the house with us.
The breed are pretty smart critters. I was actually pretty strict on our girl when she was young. Apparently the imprinting happens early, so first year is important to establish the alphas. You'll probably end up with the constant companion like I have.

i just read you got a fucking cavoodle!! fuck, you are a woman!
My mate just bought one for his daughter, and my sister-in-lay for my niece. Little floppy balls of fluff that will be good for fuck all down the track.
Wrong. Wive wanted and bought dog for starters, but what use is a dog anyway?
The little bitch is already in trouble for chasing the neighbours sheep. Who'd get married ay?

@mariner4life we gave in. My daughter has always wanted a dog but my wife is very much a cat person. One day I said fuck it. That was a year ago and our Kelpie x Border Collie has been ruining our lives ever since.

Laughed at that. How many "pairs" of shoes do you have left? Toast is a major issue around our place too.
Was actually our first choice breed, they will chase stock unless seriously controlled. We have too much around and grumpy farmers that shoot things.

A close family is a happy family.

Have a mate south of Sydney and his one has been given the duty of keeping the foxes away from the chooks. Now even my mate can't go near the chickens, they are the dogs flock. Bloody funny when dog puts them all to bed at night too. Don't mess with a Kelpie.

Yeah, I'm very strict. But I notice now she follows me around the kitchen and just sits and stares at me. Will also drop when requested sit/paw for treats.
Still has the odd excitement piss, but outside that does all her business outside. We have her in the "crate" (posh word for cage) at night. She howled like mental first night, since then nothing.
If I'm honest, I loved the first week, didn't enjoy the next 2 (what have we done!!!) and since then she's just started that getting under my skin phase. I think it'll improve even more when kids go back to school and routine is back in their lives.

Good sign. She has an alpha.
The cage that our girl sleeps in was sold as a "cottage". Same thing, awful first night. Now puts herself to bed.
Excitement pissing goes away as bitches get older (yes). I have one staff member that that has always done the "excited to see you" thing and the last one was about when she was 8 months old (dog, not staff)).
Your last paragraph says it. I was seriously pissed off with the wife for her forcing me to get a puppy. It gets better - hence my bumping the thread.

@Snowy read that before you amended that ... was wondering what sort of sick twisted conversation I had got involved with .
Ha. Didn't read well did it.
Before anyone asks - I could have had an 8 month old staff member, that pissed with excitement.

@mariner4life my MIssus was the one keen as to get a dog*, I struck a deal and used it to my advantage for longer than I had expected to.
*more like a big lazy cat than a dog though

You don't sound French...
Given that I actually get on so well the little critter, I got no leverage at all.

I know I would love any dog we got to death and we would be best mates
But I also know who would have to do all the work

That spoke well enough to greet. Or had been hired 8 months prior to stopping greeting you excitedly and wetting the...floor?

Walking the dog three times was the highlight of my day today.
Even when the All Blacks play like turd and get knocked out of the World Cup, your dog is there for you wagging its tail.
Yep, lock your wife and dog in the garage and go to work. Guess which ones going to be happy to see you when you come home?
