My Boykin (6 months old) is my shadow. It goes everywhere with me. Gets tons of exercise and a lot of love. He cuddles, but every single time I lay a hand on him to pet him he mouths me thinking it’s play time. Doesn’t matter the location of the pet or scratch I give him. I don’t “hand” play with him at all. I discourage any playful biting, but he is a chewer aka destroykin.

Is this normal behavior? I want to give my boy some good old fashion pets lol

Our little brown dog that won't quit. If he's in the crate with the door closed he's frantic. He cries and digs and howls. For hours. He was delightful all day, playing and exploring. He goes potty outside but he will only sleep if he's not in the crate. He wants to be touching me at all times. I know he's just been wrenched from his family and this takes time but it's only getting worse. We even tried putting the crate in our bed. I'm sleep.deorived and desperate. He had been sleeping in a crate with his siblings for seven hours at night.

Hi, looking for recommendations of breeders in or near Tennessee. I’ve seen the list of gold and silver levels, but wanted to see if anyone has any favorites. TIA!
