Cute Dog! 130 lbs should be quite a good sized dog. Hoping my pup gets to 100 lbs

This guy was pretty expensive, at least the most money I've ever paid for a dog. His father was the 4th place ranked Bernese in the country last year. In the end though, none of that matters.

I had a Chocolate lab who was an amazing dog. He was a genius and if Benny turns out anything like him, I'll be happy. They are great dogs too.

Benny, the new one, is very confident and dominant. The little one has always loved dogs, and wants to play with Benny, but Benny is still in his puppy biting stage. Once he nips, Bling, the little one, a fight ensues. For now Bling can hold his own, but that may not be the case in a week. For now, the best thing we can do is let Bling defend himself and scold Benny for biting.

We had our first trip to the vet today, and she pretty much reiterated that we need to let Bling defend himself while he can.

Very cute puppy. Congrats!!

Here's an update. He's putting on the LBS. He's still giving Bling a hard time, but now Bling isn't afraid to give it back to him. And they are starting to play as opposed to fight. He's also got all of the basic tricks down. Sit, lie down, roll over, shake hands. The funny thing is that when it's trick time, Bling sits right next to him and does the tricks before Benny can figure out what he's supposed to do.
