    Spuds more on the fawn side but what I've noticed is the shade is getting darker and darker throughout the weeks. Nothing major but starting to fill out a little more red.

    Thanks guys for the warm welcome. He's been a handful so far but I'm loving every minute of it. Can't wait til next summer when he starts agility classes. For now basic obedience until the end of the year and into 2014.

    We have a great trainer out where I live who is afforadable and Spud's only done three weeks so far and is responding well. After that we will likely see the same trainer once a month until next summer then look into agility once he's 1.5 years.

    He's getting a lawn installed this week with a fence so he can play out in the yard. We had fill rocks since we live in a hot area but are installing about 700 square feet of sod that I've checked thoroughly and seen in person for high traffic and pets so it should be ok. I'm thinking about placing artificial grass in one corner at about 3x3 feet next to rocks where he can potty.

    I'll update with pics soon with before and after especially with Spuds new play area.

    Spuds been resting but I let him play with chew toys today when he was trying to nip at his crate. He got a little excited and chewed one lying down until he got up and gave out a yelp. I noticed his foot that was limping got caught between two wires in the crate and when he got out he limped like it look bad.

    I got a towel with cold water and put it over his arm but all he kept dong was trying to nip at it. I had it on for a few minutes then checked his leg again and it seemed fine. I put him down and he was walking normal again. This worries me a lot but everything has been fine for the last 2 hours until he fell asleep.

    Should I tape his leg up to keep it straight? After when he was having water or was going number 1 he was fine.

    He's had a sore leg for a while now. BT's are so susceptible to self injury when they are young. I see older BT puppies on Facebook all the time with casts due to fractures.
    If you wrap his foot he's likely to bite off whatever you put on him unless you use a head cone. I'd keep a close eye on him tomorrow and if he's still limping on it I'd have it x-rayed.

    He seems to be doing fine. The limp is couple steps after long rests or sleep. I'm going to keep monitoring him before I make another vet visit. Thanks again.

    Spud got a little scratch on his nose from day care yesterday. Since he's only 5 months today, he was placed in the small dog section but it was fine with me with his sore leg. He's not limping anymore only after several steps after sleeping.

    Update: Spud went in for his last visit for vaccinations at 5 months/28 pounds and got a clean health bill so now he's got a health certificate. He's walking normal all the time but has slight lameness in his right leg. I'll take it slow for the week then gradually up it based on his age.

    Yea, Spud's parents are on the smaller spectrum of BT's. they were around 40-50 lbs so I expect Spud to grow out to about 45-50. From my understanding there are a few types of BT bodies and he fits in the terrier/Dalmatian side.
