WHAT A CUTIE!!!!! Min Pins can be very high energy!!!

One of my homework assignments I give in my puppy kindergarten class is to have your puppy meet at least 100 different new people in his first month. Dont skimp on the socialization it will make such a huge difference on his temperament later in life.

Also hows potty training going??? I would like to add that some people with tiny dogs like that use puppy pads at first then try getting them to go out side. This process is confusing for them. If you plan to use a pad his entire life thats one thing but if you want him to go out side only, its best to begin out side. It may save you a lot of frustration later.

Yes we have potty trained several puppies, and we agree, the only way is very close supervision, and take him out side at any indication. Wait 10 to 15 minutes after eating or drinking. It is good when all we have is time. So far so good.
And for the good news, one statement from Mary this morning created his name. She said that he eats so often that he was going to kill her, so his name was born --KILLER--.
Thanks for all the suggestions, all were very good. I usually observe the puppy and let him name himself. Mary likes it so I guess he is stuck with the name KILLER.

This a picture of his brother Mary bought for her Mom. Who is 83 yrs young and about to lose her 18yr old Doberman.

This is a better pic of Mary's mom and Cocoa. Mary got a good discount for buying them both.

I think he looks like a Rufus, but my quirky side makes me want to call him Doofus. Please let us know what you decide.
