So as of 2 days ago,we've got a new family member - Dante, a 3 year old male 14-lb Miniature Schnauzer. He was rescued from an elderly private breeder just 1 week ago who has been voluntarily surrendering some of her 75+ dogs. The poor guy was just used for breeding and has zero social skills. Doesn't even know his name. Doesn't know any commands. Won't walk with a leash, doesn't know what to do with toys, etc., etc. He's extremely shy and not even sure how to show affection, but he tends to keep one paw on me at all times. I've got some time/work ahead of me, but I knew that going in
On the positive side, he's very smart and is already responding to "Dante, come". Our Schnauzer Smokey who's twice his size is getting along very well and even being protective of him already. He got neutered this morning and the vet said his teeth were pretty bad (16 extractions) but otherwise in really good health. The adventure begins.
And Smokey needs a hair cut!
