New Puppy? - Orchid Board

So.... I have been fostering this puppy for a week to see how things pan out with my other dog and a rabbit. He's going back to the breeder tomorrow, because I'm going to Germany for a few weeks for work. When I come back.... I might have to keep him.

His name is Beckham and he's a Belgian Shepherd dog of the Tervuren variety. BOY is he trouble!

I threw in a picture of my 4 year old Yorkie, Benny too. That was taken during Woofstock, a huge Toronto dog festival that happened a few weeks ago. This was long before the other dogs found the fountain

Belgian Sheperds are great! We had two at home when I was a Child

Ramon, I had Belgians as a kid too! S'why I was looking for a breeder. I love them.

Gloria, I was originally going to wait a year... but he came up, so... it's come to juggling funds, really

Thanks Sue! When I get back, I should buy Beckham a little soccer ball

He'd love it too. He'll play with EVERYTHING

well, as you're going to be in Germany, you can buy him the soccer ball of the European Cup. Maybe the one with the spanish flag, in order to remember past times

but for God's sake do not buy an anorexic female dog to couple him!!!

That is one handsome dog. Such an interesting face. He looks like he has character. I would keep him in a heartbeat.

I think..... I'm good for dogs now

If he turns out the way the breeders think he will, he's going to be a show dog, and he may get called upon for breeding.... but the breeder can deal with him then. I'll just have him at home for companionship and maybe agility.
