Bailey is 5 months 2weeks now, she has bonded so well with Rex that they can eat from one plate(Roxy and Rex normally fought with each other over this).
She’s recovering well from parvo

I’m hoping her fur color changes because it’s so hard to maintain and keep clean

It’s quite fascinating

Good evening everyone, hope everyone is safe!!
A little update on the duo:
I had grooming issues with Rex and Bailey because the comb I was using apparently couldn’t throughly brush their furs, it later spoilt and I had to comb with an Afro comb which wasn’t easy at all and due to the lock down over here no pet shop was open. So after a week of Fur neglect I noticed Bailey’s fur started to Matt.

Since the Afro comb wasn’t easily at all, I decided to get a similar comb to the one that spoilt which I did from a nearby mallam. Surprisingly it worked perfectly well and more comfortable to use than all previous combs

Pics 1: picture of the spoilt comb(Bailey has done justice to it)
Pic2: the new comb I got


I also started “enhancing” Bailey’s guard instinct by coming through her back to scare her, at first she started running but now she would turn to attack. I took her out in the night for a stroll and she was so cautious of very movement which I would say is good.

Rex on the other hand is a territorial beast but once outside he’s calm and reserved even when we stroll at night. He only observes if he sees a weird shape approaching

lol no wonder you were having issues with the grooming.
the first comb isn't for Caucasians, the brush is for shorter coat dogs.
the second one is the right one to use

Thanks anyways

That nice, so I noticed that Bailey who has a shorter cost compared to Rex is beginning to become longer, is it possible for fur length to increase during growth?

yeah of course, didn't you see how Roscoe's fur grew out as he became older?
I even thought he was short coat when he was a pup until he surprised me

they're looking so good
if you want them to stand for you to snap it's better you give them something that'll get their attention.
I use a ball, treats or someone knocking at the gate to get Roscoe's attention or any other thing when I need pics or videos cheesy
they really aren't people pleasers

have you weighed your dogs recently? How much do they weigh?
Re: Chronicle Of Rex And Roxy by Dreazy23(m): 3:39pm On Apr 12, 2020

Not at all, vaccinations/deworming are being done at home and not at a clinic so I’ve not hard the opportunity to know their weights.
Re: Chronicle Of Rex And Roxy by Dreazy23(m): 12:48pm On Apr 26, 2020
Today, I stumbled On a tape and I did some measurements

Bailey will be 7months by 10th of May
Height - 61cm
Length(tail to nose) -128cm

Rex will be 10months tomorrow(there was a correction to his age, I spoke to the breeder)

Height - 73cm
Length(tail to nose) - 138cm

So I don’t think Rex might grow taller but hopefully he should

Rex will still grow a couple inches taller and he'll add more weight

Yeah few inches, I’m not bother though; he meets fci standard already.
As for the weight, yeah he should
