We are the proud new owners of a male 9 1/2 week old Am Bulldog. Aetius is being crate trained and is doing pretty well with it. I work part time and we have two kids a 4 year old and a 6 month old. Our household is fairly busy and Aetius is very good with the kids so far. He does try to bite our clothes and sometimes our hands and feet so we say no and give him one of his toys - looking for any thoughts on how to curb this so our kids can interact more with Aetius. Also he seems to be sad - missing his litter mates - when will this begin to fade? We have had him only 4 days so far but he doesn't seem to be getting happier yet. He is VERY attached to me and needs me to be in his sight at all times or he cries or barks. Will this fade soon? He gets a lot of attention and we run with him in our fenced in backyard so he gets a lot of both exercise and love. He also itches a lot. I am bringing him to the vet tomorrow but wondered if anyone knew of any common allegies in Am Bulldogs? He was purchased from a reputable breeder and shipped to us via airplane. Please give us any advice you may have on Am Bull puppies. Thanks! |
