hello, here is my reply 1. Did your GR when she is 8 weeks old that time she dont really eat much? Sometimes like dont feel hungry at all. Whats wrong? What food u serve her? when she was 8 weeks, she eats like an 8 weeks. you need to establish a schedule first. when you get from the breeder, how many times did he feed your puppy and what food? try to stick to the breeder schedule and food for the first week and then you can change her food. as for schedule, my pup was fed 3 times a day with treats and fruits in between. i fed her S.Diet (Lamb & Rice) for 2 weeks and then switch to Canidae. my breeder fed her eukanuba but she took the change quite nicely and didn't have diarrhea or anything. 2. Did she eat her own poo poo after she finish doing her bussiness? no, she never actually ate her poo poo after she poop. but to stop this, maybe you can add garlic to her kibbles or clean it straight away lah. why let the poop on the ground too long, plus you are leaving in condo, sure you can smell it by 3 seconds. 3.Which brand of diet u feed her now? right now she is doing on Nutro Choice Lamb & Rice as it has glucosamine & chondroitin for her joint. she don't really like it as nutro is too hard so i may change back to Canidae. she was on Canidae since she was 3 months till recently. 4.Did you face any problem now since she is big living in a condo and when you you take lift do the people will scare of her espeacially malays? actually i refuse to bow down to all this ppl who are scared of her cause i have her on the leash at all times and my pup is trained to sit in front of the lift and not to enter until i give the command so and plus we will not get in a lift together with other ppl. so if another person is waiting for the lift with me, then i will let them go first. when we get in the lift, she is also trained to sit at the back corner of the lift. sometimes when the lift is going down, there will be ppl getting on it at different floors, but it's up to them to enter the lift. i have had some malay ppl in the same lift with me cause i think they also see my pup is well behaved and leash. the guards at my place also very supporting but i dont; let them near the dog. 5. How often do you bring her walk now? Did you join the activity organize by puppy.com? i bring her for walks every day. if it rains, i will still bring her walk but just outside my condo and my pup will always be on leash. i dont want her to jump on ppl. she is very excited when she sees other ppl and children. so lucky she know sit stay and she will sit stay when she ppl but i know she is dying to jump on them as her tail is wagging like crazy. no, i "home-school" her myself, i have not sent her to any training programs by puppycom or MKA and it works just fine. i have been training her myself for the past 6 months. 6. Personal question. hehe...what's she name? which condo u staying? her name is Roxy but my condo....come on...if you want to meet.come to the K9 day. i give you a few more tips. Really really really thank you so much.....spend u drink next time k. hehe..
