So exciting!! Speaking as a small dog mama, the retractable leash wasn’t the best for us. A harness with a standard 6 ft leash worked great! Hope you guys enjoy your new family member!!!
I hate extendable leads with a passion! apart from the lack of control they give, the dog can get into so many bad habits like thinking they are entitled to go wherever they want. This happened to my sisters dog and whenever you stop her from going where she wants she can get very bitey and now has to see a behavourist.
Probably had no choice, given she was at a rescue. Some people get rid of puppies so quickly. It's heart breaking. But at least she is with an amazing family ❤
She needs puppy milk. She’s very young and weeks too early to leave her mother. I’d take her to the vet and get all the advice possible for such a young pup
I have a 12 week old puppy now, and we still soak her food for two hours so it’s easier to eat and digest. So I really recommend seeing as she is only 6 weeks old to soak her dry food. And if your into it you should also research crate training as it’s really useful and creates a safe space for the puppy when their tired, guests are over etc and also prevents accidents all over the house at night. Good luck with you’re new puppy!!!
I fully agree with you about the crate. My dog started out using a crate and he always puts himself in it when he is feeling frightened or insecure and also he knows when he usually goes to bed and will put himself in there on his own. Also, my dog doesn't care for little people (kids) I rescued him at over a year old, from an abusive home, so he crates himself when kids come over and I do lock the door and cover him with a blanket to help him to settle. In the wild dogs will find caves for their sleep and feeling of safety. Make very sure it is not too big, just big enough that she is able to stand, lay down and turn around, not much bigger than that.
@@HeidiLilley yes exactly, crates are amazing! My puppy is still getting used to it during day time but loves it at night. And I’m glad you gave your doggy a much better life than what it had before.
Yes, my dog considers his kennel his safe place. When he was just a baby he'd be so pleased at night when I would carry him to his kennel for the night.
I am a pre-vet student and have experience in the vet field so I thought I would fill you in on some things to look for. Pugs are a brachycephalic breed (they have a squished face) which commonly have issues with breathing, eating, and overheating. So, I would keep an eye on these things with her. You might try feeding her on a plate as she was having difficulty getting the food from the corner of the bowl. I would also try not to have her out in the heat a lot and maybe get a cooling jacket for summer walks. Also keeping her at a fit weight is super important for pugs. Extra fat will make it more difficult for her to breathe. You should be able to easily feel but not see her ribs. It is super common for pugs to require surgery to open their nostrils and shorten their soft palate. If you notice her making sounds while breathing I would take her to a vet to be evaluated for that surgery. She is adorable and congrats on the new addition!
If everyone in the family reacted like this to the dog imagine when you have children haha.... LOVE to see you make Savannah the happiest girl in the world! You guys are a great couple.
So happy that your puppy adoption went so well. I was getting worried too with the parking lot meet up, but when you explained the rescue and the papers and they gave you all the correct info and food, you can feel more at ease and excited for this new addition. I see more puppy vlogs in the future!! This little Mella has brought so much love and happiness already!!!!
Super cute, but please do some research on Parvo. One of my friends puppies just died from it and my other friend will not even let one of her big dogs go to the groomers till their baby get all of his shots. Congrats, you guys will make great puppy parents.
Congratulations guys! I got my first puppy about a year ago. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I love having a companion and cuddle buddy. Make sure you socialize the puppy as much as possible to different places, people, and sounds.
So excited for you guys! Personally my smaller dog has anxiety and stuck with her crate and absolutely loves it. We raised her in it (on a dog bed of course). The worst thing is really just the teething. Nylabones are amazing for teething. Don't let her chew ropes alone though. (Choking hazard). I'm sure you (Alex) know about dogs since your family has had so many. It's still difficult as a new owner though. Dollar tree for example sells these little bells that hang from door knobs (you can hang them lower since she's so tiny), if you put them by the door and ring them everytime she goes outside to go potty she'll learn quickly to ring it if she needs to go. This was super helpful raising my puppy. A lot less messes. Hope this helps!
Word of advice, I know you guys probably don’t need it but. My family has owned pugs since the 1970s and I just wanted to share some info. Pugs are predominantly mouth breathers since they have nasal issues in there genetic make up ( having such a squished nose). So please be careful with her when you put her near water. Make sure you clean the folds on her face because they tend to get infected pretty easily. Also, be careful with that flexileash( the retractable leash) because they have caused injuries in the past to dogs. They also tend to have ear infections quiet often, so just be aware of that as well. They also tend to over heat often, so make sure you’re keeping her cool. Otherwise, congratulations guys I am so happy for both of you. Welcome to puppy parenthood. You’ll do great, have fun, and enjoy her. Also, I hope you didn’t take my advice as ill intended, just wanted to share from our experience. ❤️🐾
6 weeks! She is too young to be away from her mom and siblings. She should be with them for at least 8 weeks, it is with them that she learns to be a dog: canine language, bite inhibition and much more. I recommend you sign her to professional socialization training right away, it will help her a lot. Socializing your dog is preparing it to live comfortably by having stress-free, positive experiences as a pet within human society. Dog socialization involves acclimating your puppy to a variety of people, animals, environments, smells, sights, and sounds. Socializing your dog is also beneficial to you because you don't have to worry about your dog reacting negatively in normal situations. You'll feel confident letting your dog run free at a dog park or sit by your feet at a coffee shop since you know your dog is capable of handling those situations. It's easier to socialize a young puppy because young animals are more capable of absorbing new information and experiences, and once they grow older they become more apprehensive around anything unfamiliar. The prime puppy-socialization period is between three and 16 weeks of age. With a good trainer, you certainly won't make things worse accidentally!
This is just heartwarming to see . Welcome to the family Mella !!! Alex the way you take care of Savannah is amazing . Love watching your journey and so excited for all the adventures to come .
She’s way to young to be away from her mum they are meant to be given away at 8+weeks but I’m not sure if that’s the same in every country as I live in Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺 and here they have to be 8+ weeks She’s absolutely gorgeous
What astounds me is how capable Crystal and Aaron are at such a young age. I have a daughter of 36, unmarried but has a long term boyfriend, no children (yet!) and I cannot imagine her with one, let alone 16!! You really are a dream family, along with the Crazy Middles. Truly wonderful parents, all of you. Love from the UK XX
Oh my gosh, your new Pug is adorable ❤ That was so sweet of you to surprise Savannah with the new baby girl Alex! I'm sure Mella will bring the both of you so much joy for years to come. Congratulations!!
Congrats! Make sure she gets to the vet ASAP! If the people who rehomed her actually worked for a rescue, there’s no way they would have let her go before 8 weeks old. Something is definitely up with the people who rehomed her.
Aww you guys are SO CUTE! Savannah is gonna be the best dog mom EVER! She clearly loves that little baby girl with all her heart already. Little baby girl is so little though! I've always been told you should never take puppies from their mum before they're at least 8 weeks old. I'm sure there's good reason little Mella moved away earlier though, and I'm sure she'll be treated as a little princess :)
Oh Lordy, Lordy!!! What a darling little sweetheart!! Mella? Too cute!! Have so much fun raising her and playing and finding out her little quirks that make her unique and special 💖 congratulations! I have a little 5 pound Yorkshire Terrier I named Chevrolet, Chevy for short. He's my little spitfire. He flies across the room with my cat Blackie in record speed and they usually bang against the front door. They love each other and I love them.
6 weeks is way to young to leave her mommy and here in the Netherlands it isn’t legal to sell dogs that age. 8 weeks is the minimum but 12 is the best age I think.
Alex really is one of the nicest young men on you tube and I imagine in real life. His interactions with his family really show what a wonderful young man he is. I really cannot wait to see his family grow. Pugs and all
Congratulations Alex and Savanna! Mella is absolutely adorable! So happy for you all! She will give you many years of happiness and joy! A precious addition to your Family! Much respect always! Mark in Iowa.
Mella is the cutest thing. Please make sure you check with your apartment manager to make sure you are allowed to have dogs and pay the pet deposit. Wouldn't want you to get kicked out for having an unauthorized pet. Just looking out for you. So excited for y'all. 😀❤️
Omg she is so precious so happy for you 2 but I highly recommend you harness train her for walks because even though you have the 16 foot retractable leash it's a lot safer to have her on a harness she can still wear the collar but when on walks hook the leash to the harness so she doesn't try to choke herself
Harnesses are great for little dogs because it protects their tracheas, as small dogs are prone to collapsed tracheas. Also because of the smooshed nose they can have breathing issues so please get her a small harness. I will also tell you as someone who has worked in the veterinary field, retractable leashes are not good. They can be dangerous to both you and her. She is so small right now and honestly will never need 16 ft leash. You don’t want her to be that far away from you when she is on a walk. Congratulations on your new baby. As someone else mentioned please don’t let her outside except in a very clean area until she has all her puppy shots due to parvo, it spreads very easily. Also because she was taken from her mom so early please be sure to socialize her really well, while she is young. Most puppies are with momma for 8-12 weeks not because they need her to eat but because momma teaches them how to dog and how to be social. So she will need you to teach her these things.
Mella is so dang cute! and you guys are going to be the best puppy parents...you are so well prepared and she is going to get all the love a puppy needs
Alex, Pet parenthood before marriage, congratulations. OMGOODNESS Savannah is a Mama. I have a feeling she is going to be SO spoiled. Makes me want one. I see Alex as daughter-Dad in the future, say 2 to 5 years in the future. This puppy is good training toward being people - parents. LOL! 😂
First (fur)kid in the house! 🥳 Savannah was well prepared.👍🏼 Over the next months you will figure out, which things are really necessary and a good buy and which are not. My daughter tried 3 or 4 different leashes and harnesses until she find the perfect combination. Same with the dog bed: At last it's the one the dog loves, not the one my daughter thought would be great. She donated all the things she ended up not using to the nearby shelter. Her dog (Jack Russel mix) loves *one* teddybear and everything made out of ropes, no interest in other toys or balls - so the dogs at the shelter had a feast. 🤣 So congrats to your addition, I wish Mella a long, healthy and happy doggy life with you! 🐶🐾
I would definitely recommend using a harness rather than attaching the lead to a collar as they can have breathing issues especially because they can pull which presses on their windpipe. Don’t forget, microchip her and put her details on a collar. I live in the uk so the details may be different, but we need a phone number, a house number and postcode the owners surname. Unless it is a legal requirement never put their name on anything as that can lead to them being stolen.
we have pugs too and i am wondering which kind of breeder sold you such a young dog. 6 weeks is much to early for her to leave her Mum. They need their mum up until to 12 weeks for so many reasons… Not okay selling her at only 6 weeks old 🥺 Take good care of her ♥️ wonderful breed and she is looking sooo cute 🥰
Welp next Savannah will surprise Alex with his turtle I mean Alex needs a new best friend since Mella took his. 😆 She's so cute! Love your little family! Also we are fostering to adopt a two year old puppy and when Savannah was squeezing those dog toys, Luna kept looking at me to give her a toy 😆
aww how sweet Alex!! Just a trick on potty training....wake up take her out immediately, then like every hour she is out of her kennel or awake take her out. she has a tiny little bladder. she's precious and you've made the whole family happy with this girl!
Omgosh I love Savanah!!!! Granny from Spokane here. Can't wait to meet your pug!!!! You make Alex the Man we always knew he was!! Great couple, will cont. to follow, plz keep us updated on the wedding!
Melli is adorable. I loved savanna’s reaction. Alex you are such a great young man. You are going to be a great husband and dad some day. For now just pet parents lol When is the turtle coming 🐢. Can’t wait to meet him. Alex you need a buddy too
I am beyond excited for you. I have loved every dog I have ever had in my life but after I got my first pug the rest was history. I am now a pug addict! My first 2 pugs I had were rescues and have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I now have a pug puppy who will be 6 mos on 4/6. Please when your little one is grown get her a harness. They can have issues with collapsed tracheas. I was surprised to hear she's only 6 weeks okd. Generally they shouldn't leave their mama until 8/9 weeks old but it sounds like you've got things under control. Prepare yourselves for the companionship/loyalty/and the best dog ever. I wish I could send you a picture of my guy but doesn't look like I can. Savannah you've got great taste!!!
Alex, you’re such a sweetheart!!! And a good man!!!!! I wish y’all all the happiness in the world!! I love your new pup! ❤️Thanks for sharing your lives with us!!! ❤️🌹
Love how crystal said you have to wait 2 years before you can have a kid… and she’s small enough she can fit in a animal backpack carrier so you can take her wherever you go
OMG HOW EXCITING!!! Soak in the little puppy moments! Take lots of pictures! And Keep their first everything!!!!! (collar, harness, clothes) to compare when your dog is full grown! You forget how tiny they actually were
I hope your wrong about her age, she shouldn't even be away from her mummy if she's only 6wks old, hope you guys are prepared for a puppy it's alot of work and commitment.
Me and my boyfriends first pet is definitely gonna be a pug! We have always dreamed of it ❤️ congrats on the new puppy😊 P.S. y’all are so good to each other, and such a cute couple!
Congratulations puppy parents . She is adorable . Pugs are great little dogs , but they really like to be in pairs . So watch out you maybe just getting another one soon . ❤
Hey Alex Savannah Congratulations on your first fur daughter. Just sharing my experience on harnesses If she is going to be in the car seatbelts are important I investigate auto accident trust me. Any way if you want check out the kurgo harness seatbelt combo order online if you do pet smart is twice the price I took my girls to pet smart for sizing then ordered them lol
She’s soooo cute!!! I will say.. I’m a dog groomer and a vet. Tech. Keep up on her nails, pug nail tend to curl really fast and get VERY LONG and can grow into the foot and out the other side, play with her feet while she’s young so that she won’t hate having nail trims later in life. Pugs are also brachycephalic dogs, they can have lots of breathing issues a harness would be best for her(another thing to get her used to while she’s young) I know you guys will be great parents no matter what! Happy for you both
So excited for you guys! Personally my smaller dog has anxiety and stuck with her crate and absolutely loves it. We raised her in it (on a dog bed of course). The worst thing is really just the teething. Nylabones are amazing for teething. Don't let her chew ropes alone though. (Choking hazard). I'm sure you (Alex) know about dogs since your family has had so many. It's still difficult as a new owner though. Dollar tree for example sells these little bells that hang from door knobs (you can hang them lower since she's so tiny), if you put them by the door and ring them everytime she goes outside to go potty she'll learn quickly to ring it if she needs to go. This was super helpful raising my puppy. A lot less messes. Hope this helps! (Being taken from her mum at 6 weeks can cause some clingyness and anxiety. It's not bad at all, just comes with taking a puppy at 6 weeks.)
Savannah wanting to scream with excitement but not scare the pup and Bella having an emotional meltdown are both very relatable events!
Can i just say how happy I was to see Lizzy in this vlog? Lizzy being at Alex's place and being just as excited made my day.
Lizzy is so sweet!
Me too
where in video?
Whose lizzy?? 🤔 His fiance is Savanah she was at Alex's place.
@@caroldickens3028 Lizzy is Alex cousin from the crazymiddles
So exciting!! Speaking as a small dog mama, the retractable leash wasn’t the best for us. A harness with a standard 6 ft leash worked great! Hope you guys enjoy your new family member!!!
Yes you can't pull on their necks they need a harness.
Can't control did very well on an extended leash. Can't get them away from mean dogs fast enough either.
I hate extendable leads with a passion! apart from the lack of control they give, the dog can get into so many bad habits like thinking they are entitled to go wherever they want. This happened to my sisters dog and whenever you stop her from going where she wants she can get very bitey and now has to see a behavourist.
I have a chihuahua and have that type of leash not alot of problems unless the collar doesn't fit right
We have a pug, get a harness that you can put the retractable leash on... our girl loves to explore and she does just fine...
6 weeks is pretty young to leave her momma. Usually they don’t leave momma for 8-12 weeks. She is so tiny!
:( they learn so much from their momma dog those last few weeks :(
Probably had no choice, given she was at a rescue. Some people get rid of puppies so quickly. It's heart breaking. But at least she is with an amazing family ❤
She needs puppy milk. She’s very young and weeks too early to leave her mother. I’d take her to the vet and get all the advice possible for such a young pup

Yes my girlies love their crate! I have two mini dachshunds that share a medium crate 🥰
I think my mom used it barely as my dogs were puppies, she ended up just getting rid of it because they didn’t care for it and slept on the bed/couch
Yes, my dog considers his kennel his safe place. When he was just a baby he'd be so pleased at night when I would carry him to his kennel for the night.
6 weeks is so young. She’s adorable. Welcome little one.

Was anyone else so excited to see Lizzie? I feel like it’s been so long since we saw her on crazy middles! ❤️ congratulations!
Super cute, but please do some research on Parvo. One of my friends puppies just died from it and my other friend will not even let one of her big dogs go to the groomers till their baby get all of his shots. Congrats, you guys will make great puppy parents.

I loved it when he introduces the dog to his dad as his granddaughter. Too cute!
when he said that it made me feel better when i got my dog and introduced him as my mom's grandson lol but that was 7 years ago
Mella is adorable 😍🥰. Loved Savannahs face when you surprised her.
You are a good guy, Alex Savannah is a lucky young lady You treat her right Nice family you two are forming
she's adorable! welcome to the family Mella!
Congratulations on your new family member Alex and Savannah! Pugs are so adorable and sweet. She is beautiful.
If the puppy is only 6 weeks, she’s too young to be away from her mommy. Puppies shouldn’t be fully weened until 8-10 weeks.
Mella is absolutely adorable. Congrats on your new addition to the family.
She's so tiny ❤❤❤. She doesn't look much bigger than Fish and Oreo.
Congrats! Make sure she gets to the vet ASAP! If the people who rehomed her actually worked for a rescue, there’s no way they would have let her go before 8 weeks old. Something is definitely up with the people who rehomed her.
Aww you guys are SO CUTE! Savannah is gonna be the best dog mom EVER! She clearly loves that little baby girl with all her heart already.
Little baby girl is so little though! I've always been told you should never take puppies from their mum before they're at least 8 weeks old. I'm sure there's good reason little Mella moved away earlier though, and I'm sure she'll be treated as a little princess :)
That's so cute my favorite is when Jake picks it up he don't show emotions that much and I think it's so cute
Love seeing Lizzy visiting you and being so excited love this video Alex thank you for being so amazing 💖
Omg, I'm dying over the bowls "Mine" and "Mine too" 😂🤣
I really love savannah. I love that she's becoming more comfortable with the camera. Love you both 🤍

How sweet! Puppies are the best!!! Well done Alex, what an incredible gift xxx
So cute that Aurora Pettit wanted to come to "Pet It" Pettit haha. Congrats on your pug!!
So cute. Treat her well. She is so tiny.

Yeah that would suck
Aroura is speaking so good I was surprised that she said “I wanna let the puppy” so cute

She is adorable guys.I like her so much.Enjoy with Mella:)
Make sure you get he parvo shots before you let her be around other dogs. Parvo can kill a puppy very quickly.
Mella is adorable! Congratulations!
Awwee mella is adorable that baby is gonna be spoiled I know she gonna have an amazing life with y'all 😊💝
Mella is so adorable. I hope she will be with you for a long, long time. Pugs are so cute.
I love this 😭😭❤️❤️ he treats her so well
Mella is so dang cute! and you guys are going to be the best puppy parents...you are so well prepared and she is going to get all the love a puppy needs
I love how you and savannah get along so much. The pug is so cute 🥰 even the tiny tail! Hope everything goes well with your pug!
Aw! Shes the sweetest puppy.
Alex, Pet parenthood before marriage, congratulations. OMGOODNESS Savannah is a Mama. I have a feeling she is going to be SO spoiled.
Makes me want one.
I see Alex as daughter-Dad in the future, say 2 to 5 years in the future. This puppy is good training toward being people - parents. LOL! 😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤ This baby is already so loved! Thanks for giving her a home!!
First (fur)kid in the house! 🥳
Savannah was well prepared.👍🏼 Over the next months you will figure out, which things are really necessary and a good buy and which are not.
My daughter tried 3 or 4 different leashes and harnesses until she find the perfect combination.
Same with the dog bed: At last it's the one the dog loves, not the one my daughter thought would be great.
She donated all the things she ended up not using to the nearby shelter.
Her dog (Jack Russel mix) loves *one* teddybear and everything made out of ropes, no interest in other toys or balls - so the dogs at the shelter had a feast. 🤣
So congrats to your addition, I wish Mella a long, healthy and happy doggy life with you! 🐶🐾
Omg , that took Savannahs breath away. How adorable. Congratulations!!!!
I would definitely recommend using a harness rather than attaching the lead to a collar as they can have breathing issues especially because they can pull which presses on their windpipe. Don’t forget, microchip her and put her details on a collar. I live in the uk so the details may be different, but we need a phone number, a house number and postcode the owners surname. Unless it is a legal requirement never put their name on anything as that can lead to them being stolen.
we have pugs too and i am wondering which kind of breeder sold you such a young dog. 6 weeks is much to early for her to leave her Mum. They need their mum up until to 12 weeks for so many reasons… Not okay selling her at only 6 weeks old 🥺
Take good care of her ♥️ wonderful breed and she is looking sooo cute 🥰
Welp next Savannah will surprise Alex with his turtle I mean Alex needs a new best friend since Mella took his. 😆 She's so cute! Love your little family! Also we are fostering to adopt a two year old puppy and when Savannah was squeezing those dog toys, Luna kept looking at me to give her a toy 😆
Omg this is so exciting!!! So happy Savannah is moving in. Your guys dog is so stinking cute!!!
aww how sweet Alex!! Just a trick on potty training....wake up take her out immediately, then like every hour she is out of her kennel or awake take her out. she has a tiny little bladder. she's precious and you've made the whole family happy with this girl!
She’s so cute. Just a FYI check with your apartment manager to see if theirs a pet fee. Some places require them.
The puppy is adorable. Now I want get a puppy. It was good to see Lizzy for a little bit in this vlog.
So adorable!!!! Congratulations!!!
I would go for harness to avoid hurting the dog with the retractable leash, very exciting!
Omgosh I love Savanah!!!! Granny from Spokane here. Can't wait to meet your pug!!!! You make Alex the Man we always knew he was!! Great couple, will cont. to follow, plz keep us updated on the wedding!
Melli is adorable. I loved savanna’s reaction. Alex you are such a great young man. You are going to be a great husband and dad some day. For now just pet parents lol
When is the turtle coming 🐢. Can’t wait to meet him. Alex you need a buddy too
I am beyond excited for you. I have loved every dog I have ever had in my life but after I got my first pug the rest was history. I am now a pug addict! My first 2 pugs I had were rescues and have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge. I now have a pug puppy who will be 6 mos on 4/6. Please when your little one is grown get her a harness. They can have issues with collapsed tracheas. I was surprised to hear she's only 6 weeks okd. Generally they shouldn't leave their mama until 8/9 weeks old but it sounds like you've got things under control. Prepare yourselves for the companionship/loyalty/and the best dog ever. I wish I could send you a picture of my guy but doesn't look like I can. Savannah you've got great taste!!!
Alex, you’re such a sweetheart!!! And a good man!!!!! I wish y’all all the happiness in the world!! I love your new pup! ❤️Thanks for sharing your lives with us!!! ❤️🌹
Adorable wee puppy.
So cute welcome Mella!
Mella is the cutest little pug. You and Savannah are such a great couple.
Should be 8weeks before they go to a new home. Have vet shots and things before it with a lot of dogs .
So sweet, enjoy your fur baby!
Why did they take her from her mother at 6 weeks? Thats pretty young
Alex you are the best!!! What cute little puppy!! She is so lucky to have you both as parents!! Congrats 👏
Love how crystal said you have to wait 2 years before you can have a kid… and she’s small enough she can fit in a animal backpack carrier so you can take her wherever you go
OMG HOW EXCITING!!! Soak in the little puppy moments! Take lots of pictures! And Keep their first everything!!!!! (collar, harness, clothes) to compare when your dog is full grown! You forget how tiny they actually were
I hope your wrong about her age, she shouldn't even be away from her mummy if she's only 6wks old, hope you guys are prepared for a puppy it's alot of work and commitment.
Omg I almost cried when I saw her,she is the cutest baby puppy in the world, congratulations on your first fur baby
A puppy should not be removed from its mother until it’s 8 weeks or older
What an adorable puppy. Love pugs. They have the sweetest faces. Loved seeing Savannah’s reaction
I’ve used retractable leashes and I’ve had two break on me. Now, I use a harness with a standard 6 ft leash. Congratulations 🎉
Omg so cutie!!! Congratulations on your new baby guys!!!! Y’all are going to be great parents!!!!
Did savannah quit working? Puppy is adorable.. Happy for all of you
@Becky Jernigen what business is that of yours?
@@dearleah7299 not my business at all.
So happy for you all. As a Pug momma myself, they are the best.
Me and my boyfriends first pet is definitely gonna be a pug! We have always dreamed of it ❤️ congrats on the new puppy😊 P.S. y’all are so good to each other, and such a cute couple!
Make sure you do research on their breathing problems, they seriously should be even be bred
Congratulations puppy parents . She is adorable .
Pugs are great little dogs , but they really like to be in pairs . So watch out you maybe just getting another one soon . ❤
Hey Alex Savannah Congratulations on your first fur daughter. Just sharing my experience on harnesses If she is going to be in the car seatbelts are important I investigate auto accident trust me. Any way if you want check out the kurgo harness seatbelt combo order online if you do pet smart is twice the price I took my girls to pet smart for sizing then ordered them lol
She’s soooo cute!!! I will say.. I’m a dog groomer and a vet. Tech. Keep up on her nails, pug nail tend to curl really fast and get VERY LONG and can grow into the foot and out the other side, play with her feet while she’s young so that she won’t hate having nail trims later in life. Pugs are also brachycephalic dogs, they can have lots of breathing issues a harness would be best for her(another thing to get her used to while she’s young)
I know you guys will be great parents no matter what! Happy for you both
*All dogs nails can keep growing into the foot but it’s very common for nails to curl and grow fast in pugs,beagles, basset hounds, bulldogs etc.
So cute
They said they had the vaccination papers with her 🤷♀️
So excited for you guys! Personally my smaller dog has anxiety and stuck with her crate and absolutely loves it. We raised her in it (on a dog bed of course). The worst thing is really just the teething. Nylabones are amazing for teething. Don't let her chew ropes alone though. (Choking hazard). I'm sure you (Alex) know about dogs since your family has had so many. It's still difficult as a new owner though. Dollar tree for example sells these little bells that hang from door knobs (you can hang them lower since she's so tiny), if you put them by the door and ring them everytime she goes outside to go potty she'll learn quickly to ring it if she needs to go. This was super helpful raising my puppy. A lot less messes. Hope this helps! (Being taken from her mum at 6 weeks can cause some clingyness and anxiety. It's not bad at all, just comes with taking a puppy at 6 weeks.)
