Thanks Paulo
My latest pics are from the last weekend, so not really much to update. But I will take new pics in the weekend anyway

After taking all the shots, last weekend was finally time to start going out.
The leash walks were only difficult the first 2 times, but after that he started associating the leash with going out, so everything became easy.
We had a sunny Sunday so we went to a park near my place that usually has lots of dogs. Very good for socialization. From what I remember he played with a 4 m.o. Labrador, a 3,5 m.o. Rottweiler and several bigger boys and girls (2 more labs, a GSD, a bearded collie, a weimarainer a poodle and 3 or 4 mutts. There was also a huge and very placid boerboel in the park). Very calm and learning his place when playing with big older dogs.
I only took one picture of the group play as I didn´t want the camera to distract me (and only got him and another dog,,,).
We have been working on "potty" and recall and he is making good progresses.
Enough talk.

I also tried a collar at night (I want him to get used to both harness and collars) and it went well

What a nice looking boy! Isn't it fun taking a pup out and about? It's amazing to watch them experience the world - everything is new and exciting!

Thank you, Ladies

Jamie,
It is indeed a lot of fun to show them the world. It has been 11+ years since I had my last puppy and I am enjoying it everyday

Another weekend spent with the sister (Bazooka). They are now 15 weeks (almost 3,5 months).
Some pics



And, after a couple of hour of a "friendly battle" aka puppy play...

On a side note, we had rough weather (for our standards...) this weekend: lots of wind and rain with uncomfortable temperatures.
Lomu hated it ! Didn´t want to get its paws wet and as soon as the potty was over.... he headed home.
Sissy boy. I wonder what it would be like if we were in Northern USA/Canada, lol

Hi Joao, love the pics! They are nice and quiet in those pictures. But I guess there can be quite some action also...

Tks!. Yeah... quite some action, to say the least... Pics were taken after it (during it would be impossible. I made a video)

Tks Igni
They turned 4 months yesterday and we went to the vet for the rabbies shot.
Vet is very pleased with the health of both dogs. Lomu weights 20.5 kgs (45 lbs) and Bazooka 19.2 kgs (42 lbs)

That shrinking couch. Funny how that happens, isn't it? Such a serious little face he's wearing.

It sure is Boxergirl. It happens in all households and with every single large breed pupp..., but it´s always funny to watch "the phenomenon of the shrinking furniture.." lol

Hector,
I think he is doing good (and so is the sister). At 4 months they weighed in at 45.2 lbs and 42.5 lbs respectively (average weight for the breed/age I believe) and both seem to have a strong built. I am pleased
