General update



Time seems to be flying maybe I am now living in dog years. My beautiful boerboel Remy is growing so fast. This is a general update a progress report of sorts.
Remy is now about 5 1/2 moths old and doing great. The house training has been going pretty well, we had a couple of minor incidents over the last couple of days, but each time I have got to say the blame rests solely on the human members of my pack. I think we have been taking for granted how well Remy has been doing and have not been sticking to her schedule.
The issue we were having with her barking has all but dissolved occasionally we will get a little growl when people approach the house, when we are out, at the dog park she is a perfect little lady. The dog park seems to be her favorite hangout because she not only is the star of the show as far as the humans are concerned but she is quite popular among the other dogs. I am always so surprised how many people are in awe of her and those who have heard of a Boerboel, most have never even seen one. She gets a lot of attention and even more compliments and handles it all in stride, in fact I don't think I would be exaggerating if I said she looks forward to it.
I am continuing to train her and so far it seems to be going pretty well in fact when I think she doesn't get it I have found out at other times she knows full well what its going on she just is being stubborn. I am always looking for new ways to challenge her and she keeps rising to the task, although like I said sometime she comes thru at the most unexpected times.

As I mentioned I am Raw feeding, Remy, it seems she likes everything, but the basis of her diet is beef tripe and chicken leg quarters. Occasionally I will give her some salmon and also some crushed egg shells.
Remy is a very good girl but sometimes I forget she is a Boerboel and, even as a puppy she is a big dog, many times when I am out walking her off leash and we come upon people they are a little intimidate by her, but once they see that she is a nice puppy they cannot get enough of her. I must remember that not everyone looks at her and sees sure a wonderful little puppy like I do .
