My first day and with my new puppy Yoshi

Hi Desiree,

How exciting a new puppy! It sounds great with the toilet training! My two were little monkeys and one still is!

You will find shih tzus a pleasure to own and they are so loving. Mine are great company.

Everyone on the forum is really friendly and always provide excellent advice so its the best place to be!

Looking forward to seeing photos v soon!

Sounds like heaven, the breeder obviously did a great job.
Welcome to Whispers

Well done on finding such a brilliant breeder, they certainly sound like they did some of the hard work for you. I love the name Yoshi, think it really suits him.

Welcome to Whispers
I was exactly the same waiting to get Pancakes! We've had him just under a year now and he has just turned 1 year old!! Yet i can still remember the anticipation and excitement waiting to get him - and i only had 2 weeks to wait...i couldnt have managed 6 weeks like you!!!
I wish i had joined this forum earlier on to get help and advice about our puppy, yet im still learning from it since joining at the end of January. Everybody is so helpful, friendly and full of informaiton and advice.
I have posted about potty training Yoshi in a different topic...hope you see it and i hope its useful.
They grow up so quickly, but its great that your breeder had already paper trained Yoshi for you - that was the hardest step for us to train Pancakes!
Good luck with your new puppy Yoshi and enjoy being a shih-tzu owner and member of Whispers!

Hi Desiree sounds like your breeder did a great job in starting your young man off on his toilet training and you did exactly the right thing with him. I know with Josh it was an early start for a few weeks but it doesn't take long before they can get up a bit later and it njust reinforces the training and allows the pup not to go backwards. He seems a very well adjusted young boy to have used his paper straight away in his new surroundings - which is good news for your family and I feel that he is going to fit in very well with your children. Shih Tzu absolutely adore their children friends and family and you are going to have many years of fun and unconditional love with Yoshi (love the name btw and he is very handsome too )
