Hello All, my name is Kyle.
This will be a little long, but I will section out the story and my questions if you don't want to read it all...
About 4 months ago my dad was given a black dog from a friend, she(Spunky) is already like 3 years old he said. Her mother is a purebreed Red Chow, with papers, and father was one of 3 Purebreed Burmese Mountain Dogs. You can see chow more prevalent in her, though her attitude and demeanor is that of a Burmese, very loving and friendly, although not to all outsiders as would be expected.
But she is not what this is about, one month ago now, she gave birth to 7 Puppies. We do not know the father, except it is one of the same 3 Burmese as before. 6 are black and of those 3 are boys and 3 are girls, the look and act mostly Burmese, two could have more chow, but they are all mostly Burmese.
But one looks like a teddy bear. He is the most active and from the research I have done, it points to him being mostly a Red, or Cinnamon Chow. I am adding a picture.
I know he is obviously not purebreed, but I would still like to start training early, so as to make sure he is well behaved, and possibly keeps the demeanor of his mother, and doesn't lean towards that of a purebreed. I do want a good personal guard dog though.
Any tips or info anyone could provide would be great, as I want make sure to catch any problems early enough so as to have a great dog for years to come.
Also, I haven't found a good name yet... any suggestions?
