Meet our new camping dog!

Day 1 home! Oh she is a cute little 10 week old! starting the joys of crate training. We hope to have her onboard for camping this summer! :C

  • I forgot to mention she's a sheltie. This will be #2 sheltie as our first passed away 5 yrs ago.

    We still have not figured on a name, liked some of the suggestions! possibilities are Cinder & Dahlia but were open for more ideas! :C

  • A dog that good deserves a dignified name.
    My 16 yo Corgi is named Queen Victoria.
    I like places names like Chelan, Tahoma and Sequoia.
    Some names are just plain fun like my BC Ruby Begonia.
  • She’s a beautiful young lady. She looks like a Gypsy Rose to me: Gypsy for a traveler and Rose for her perfect beauty. Just saying.
  • Thanks everyone for the name suggestions as many made the short list. Today we decided to name our dog Gracie

    crate training so far is going better than expected, house training is still a work in progress. :C

  • House training - young, takes time. I love the name Gracie, always a favorite of mine , if she gets a sister, Rosie comes to mind.
  • Did not have any issue house training Sawyer, he had one accident. I had the luxury of being home with him. I took him out every two hours and told him what a good boy he was when he went. Sasha was a little more work even though I took her out every two hours she would start playing with Sawyer and not taking care of business. She would then come in and start to go on the rug which ment a loud hand clap to get her attention and take her back outside. By the forth day she had it down. Sawyer helped as well Sasha would follow him out the dog door whenever he went out

    The Hoover steam vac came in handy.
