I’m getting a puppy soon and I’m planning on crate training her. However, growing up I’d let my dog sleep in my bed and it was the best. Does anyone have any positive experiences letting their puppy sleep with them? I’m scared she’ll pee on the bed 😭😭 even though my childhood dog never did!

My future

Hey everyone! I’m still pretty young, but I’m already working toward my dream of becoming a dog enthusiast, breeder, and trainer one day. I’ve always had a huge passion for dogs (German Shepherds specifically) and love learning about their behavior, training, and what makes each breed unique. I will definitely not be a backyard breeding, breeding for money.

Right now, I’m focusing on spending time with my own dogs, observing their behavior, and watching training videos to understand communication and body language better. My long-term goal is to become a responsible breeder who prioritizes health, temperament, and strong human–dog bonds—not just looks.

Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for my future?

My pup went for his first grooming two days ago and he did get a sanitation cut. Do you find it common that the puppies get a little irritation from the sanitation cut? It looks a little pink. What do you normally put on it? He also had his glands expressed.

I've had two Malinois for the past 20 years and have been captivated by the breed. During that time, I lived in a house with a large backyard to enjoy with the dog. I've now moved into an apartment and am considering smaller breeds like the Shiba and Corgi, but I haven't ruled out getting a Malinois again. I'm away from home for eight hours a day for work, but I'd like your opinion on the topic. I welcome suggestions for other breeds.

Ok so I have a 22 week old border collie puppy and I think only one testicle is dropped. I contacted my vet and he said to feel and I can only easily feel one that’s dropped and maybe very slightly feel the other. He said it’s probably fine and just to be patient until he’s 6 months. But I’m super worried because I read something about cancer. I’ve never seen this before. I quickly contacted the breeder and she said she’s never had any trouble with any of his relatives including brothers. She also said he had a vet check at 8 weeks and everything was good to go then. Sorry, I’m just super worried. I don’t know if I’m being paranoid or not. Also I researched it a bit and found that leaner built puppies are sometimes slower to develop in that area. He has a lean build. Thank you!!
