Hi guys.

We got a new addition, to the family yesterday.

His name is Calais and he's a 5 week old Maltese pure breed. (I think that's what he is)

lol, should've called him Camira. It doubles as a command, because when you're yelling at him it sounds like "COME HERE!"

I don't think its a Pure Breed Maltese... But I have been wrong before! :P
My missus breeds them, and she only has pure whites.
We have 2x patchy browns, but they're cross Lhasa Alpso.

Out of interest, how much did it cost... $200? $300?
Cause I know we used to sell her pure bred pups for $300.

Cheers

Darran

Nah we got him for free, because his mother, is my Auntie's dog.

I don't know alot about dogs, but I know he's a Maltese crossed with something.

I'd love a big dog, like a German Shepard or a Blue heeler, but having a small house dog, is still pretty cool.

We were going to call it VL. (Yes I know hahaha)

I like the name, as it's pretty unique.

My 2 quarians (birds) are called Jay and Silent Bob.

He is very cute, but my dog...hmmm and my three cats could probably eat him up in one fell swoop.

LOL He's a sweety.

Well we've had him for just over a week and and it's been a real life change.

Here's a pic of him last night, at the our back door step.



Also does anyone know the best way, to toilet train a puppy? I've been talking him outside, every couple of hours or so.

well i wouldn't personally go putting its face in it as Ruger has said... We just recently finished taking our 12 week old staffy to puppy school and they said the best thing to do is praise your dog when he/she does its business outside. NEVER get angry at your dog for doing it inside! If you catch them mid - duty, then try and quickly take them outside and praise them for finishing outside.

Our little man is great now! He still sleeps in the laundry (until we get proper dog house for outside) and he hasn't done anything overnight for the past 2 weeks. As soon as we let him out in the morning however he's draining the vein for ages :hihi:
