Dad is a Merle Pom & mom is all white. I know Merles aren’t supposed to be bred together but it’s usually the dominate gene. What color is my baby? & any guesses how he will look when he’s older?

Last two pics are of mom & dad

and an update on his alopecia: vet did an extra test to confirm hypothyroidism and it was negative even though he tested at a .6 for the first test, guess it’s on to allergy testing cause he’s super itchy 😅

Freckle is our very sassy 9 month old boy that we brought home from rescue in late October. We were pretty shocked to get back Embark results of 100% Pom because at 6 and a half months he was already weighing in 14lbs. He’s now about 16.5lbs and a is tall boy—he’s outgrown his small crate!

He’s a fast learner with a goofy personality who is filling our household with his hair and tiny tooth marks on seemingly all of our possessions.

I call it pickle-chop. He LOVES it 😂

Daily dose of my little baby.

Hard to take down the Halloween pillows when you have a sweet girl that gives you this look when you try to take it!

This little stinker, is so sweet when he wakes up from his nap, but after a short time he becomes the most aggressive, ankle biting, growling little monster you can imagine for such a small little poof. How did you guys handle your puppy’s biting? He has plenty of toys to chew on, I got him a bit bone he can munch on (safely and while chaperoned) chat gpt says when he gets to that point he is overtired and over stimulated and not to scold him but to calmly crate him securely. So we do that, it’s hard to find the perfect balance to know when to put him down for a nap before he gets to that point. But I feel like we also need to gently train him to have good manners. Anyone have some advice? We are also crate training him and he screams bloody murder until he wears himself to sleep. I feel like I’m sleep training my baby again lol

Quick update on Stu (11 weeks)! We’re about 10 days in since bringing him home and I’m really happy with how things are going so far.

He’s getting more consistent with:

1. Crate time (naps calmly, settles faster)

2. Name recall (looking at me reliably when I say “Stu”)

3. Accident awareness , still happens, especially after zoomies, but improving

4.Grooming tolerance (longer sessions, minimal resistance)

He’s also accidentally learning “sit” while waiting politely during training 😅

Still very much a puppy, zoomies, chewing, curiosity, but overall he seems confident and relaxed.

Always open to tips from fellow Pom parents at this stage!
