Pekingese - Pepper Peke - Small - Young - Male - Dog
They tried "everything" Pepper was born July 21, 2011 and weighs about 15 lbs. He is just adorable and obviously lots of Pekingese in there, but said to be mixed with a little Beagle. This little fluffer nutter is good on leash and fine in the car. He loves to snuggle and it's so much fun to run your fingers through his gorgeous, thick, fur. He's doing fine with the other dogs. What landed him here originally? He "nipped at my daughter because she was playing rough". So maybe older, considerate, kids will be necessary in his future. However the second owners had him around children and he did just fine. We've found nothing no nippy behavior whatsoever. He found a "forever home" about a year ago only to end up here once again. Why this time? Well, they stated they couldn't house train him and said they "tried everything, even putting him in a crate ONE night". They never mentioned this to us and never asked for suggestions. Maybe they were going on a vacation and returning him was just easier. We advise crate training to house break and it has been a tried and true method. He's a wonderful little guy that did not deserve to be dumped again. We will be working on this and know there is someone out there that will put forth the effort to properly house train him and you will be so glad you did.
