Now the puppy is able to sweep the dinner table with her tail. Too tall to qualify as a miniature horse (32 inches at the shoulder maximum).
May be time to start considering a saddle, or at least saddle bags for trips to the local shops. When I were a lad my cousin Michael (who owned a small farm on Guernsey) and my parents did a house swap for the summer holidays. This left 14 year old me with the job of looking after his dog, Bruno, on Guernsey. Bruno was a Pyrenean Mountain Dog puppy that probably had at least 15-20 kg on me weight wise. I had to take him for a walk every day - well he took me for a drag. Life would have been a lot easier if Michael had had a pony or two - I could have borrowed a saddle and made the daily walk a lot easier on myself.
Ah, so you understand perfectly well! Nya (as in the LEGO Ninjago character for those with human/dragon pups) is a Great Pyrenese Mountain Dog (what we call the same breed here)! Training will change the drag into a walk, but that is a challenge when it is not your dog and you were taken advantage of.
On the other hand, training here has not yet achieved that success. Based on the size of her parents, we were expecting an adult size of approximately 120 lbs. However, based on growth so far and leg and paw size, the expectation is now 160 lbs, which is 98th percentile.
Puppy is reduced to a blubbering cry-baby today, after the show of bravado last night. Old dog has gone out to the groomers and gone for a car ride no less. Puppy is left behind with me and is highly anxious. Having a puppy now is no problem, but there will surely be widespread problems when people return to normal schedules.
