At two months old, these pups are tiny powerhouses just beginning to show their breed-specific traits. Let’s break down what you might see at that adorable stage:

🐾 Rottweiler
- Size & Build: Chunky with a broad head and thick legs—they look like mini tanks.
- Temperament: Curious, playful, and already starting to show loyalty to their person.
- Training: Can begin basic commands; they’re smart but can be stubborn, so consistency is key.
- Social Needs: Early socialization is important to balance their guarding instincts.

🐺 Caucasian Shepherd (Ovcharka)
- Size & Coat: Fluffy balls of fur! Even at two months, they’re bigger than many breeds.
- Temperament: Bold and independent. They're instinctively protective, even as puppies.
- Training: Need firm, calm guidance. Can be strong-willed, so early leadership matters.
- Social Needs: Exposure to different environments helps reduce over-guarding tendencies.

🐶 German Shepherd
- Size & Movement: Leaner build than others on this list but still sturdy and energetic.
- Temperament: Exceptionally bright. Already alert and eager to learn at two months.
- Training: Responds very well to training—this is prime time to start obedience work.
- Social Needs: Loves companionship and thrives when mentally engaged.

🐕 Boerboel (South African Mastiff)
- Size & Appearance: Stocky, muscular, and surprisingly agile for their bulk.
- Temperament: Confident with a calm demeanor—loyal and very people-oriented.
- Training: Needs clear structure from the start. They grow fast, so early manners matter.
- Social Needs: Early exposure to new people and pets prevents future over-protectiveness.

Did you know the Chukotka Sled Dog is one of the oldest sled dog breeds in the world? Modern day Siberian Huskies go back to this ancient breed of dog. Also, the Siberian Husky was made in the USA, not Russia.

The region of Chukotka in Russia just West of Alaska is home to a very old lineage of sled dogs. Specifically, the Chukotka Sled Dog (or Chukotsky riding dog) is an aboriginal spitz breed that originated with the Chukchi people.

Ancient Origins: Archeological evidence and genomic studies suggest that sled dogs with close ties to the Chukotka lineage date back at least 9,500 years. Remains found on Zhokhov Island, near Chukotka, dating back to 7800-8000 years ago, show clear evidence of intense dog use and sleds.

Progenitor of the Siberian Husky: The Chukotka Sled Dog is considered the ancestor of the modern Siberian Husky.

Chukchi People: The Chukchi people developed and relied on these dogs for various tasks, including hunting sea mammals on ice, transportation, and possibly herding reindeer.
Survival: Although almost lost during the Soviet era, the Chukotka Sled Dog has recently seen a resurgence. Their continued survival was reported in 2006 by Benedict Allen.

We have a local breeder who has been importing them for several years. They're wonderful multi purpose Arctic dogs.

He waited every day for someone who would never return. A true story of loyalty that touched the world. 💔

That morning, everything seemed ordinary. He left with his briefcase in hand, a smile on his face, and half a coffee in his cup. And like every morning, Hachiko walked with him to the train station. He sat beside him on the bench, tail wagging, eyes full of trust— the kind only a loyal dog can give.

When the train arrived, the man bent down and stroked his head. "I'll be back this afternoon, buddy," he said. Hachiko watched the train pull away… And waited. But that afternoon, he didn’t return.Nor the next day. Nor the next week. He never came back.

The man had passed away suddenly at work. His heart had stopped— and with it, the path home was lost forever. But no one told Hachiko. No one explained. He only felt the absence.

So the next day, he came back. And the day after that. And the one after that. He waited on the same bench, at the same time, with the same quiet hope. Days turned into months. Months into years. The people of Shibuya began to notice. The little white dog, waiting faithfully— always at the same spot. Some brought him food. Others gently patted his head. But he wasn’t looking for kindness. He was looking for him.

The professor’s family tried to take him in. But he always escaped. He returned to the station, to the place where he had last seen his best friend. Seasons passed. Snow fell. Rain poured. The summer sun blazed down. Still he waited— silent, devoted, unmoving.

Until one night, he laid his head on his paws, closed his eyes and never woke up. He passed in the exact spot he last saw his human. Though they never reunited in this life, there wasn’t a single day Hachiko didn’t wait.

Today, a statue stands in his honor at Shibuya Station. Because Hachiko wasn’t just a dog. He was a symbol of unshakable love. This real story happened in Japan, 1935. Hachiko waited for over 9 years— never giving up on the one he loved.

This is a teminder that true love doesn’t need words. It doesn’t demand promises. It just stays— even when the other is no longer there. 🐾🐾

Scientists believe dogs may be evolving in real time, as their behavior and intelligence adapt more deeply to human life.

Research shows many dogs now recognize human emotions, follow social cues, and even outperform primates in certain communicative tasks. In cities, stray dogs have been seen using crosswalks and riding public transport, suggesting rapid cognitive shifts. These changes, along with genetic differences from wolves, point to a new chapter in canine evolution—one driven largely by their unique bond with humans.

When dogs voice out their frustrations

Everyone who is thinking of getting dogs should read this because you need to understand this reality:

***I am a 21st century dog.***
-I'm a Malinois.
Overskilled among dogs, I excel in all disciplines and I'm always ready to work: I NEED to work.
But nowadays I get asked to chill on the couch all day everyday.

-I am an Akita Inu.
My ancestors were selected for fighting bears.
Today I get asked to be tolerant and I get scolded for my reactivity when another approaches me.

-I am a Beagle.
When I chase my prey, I raise my voice so the hunters could follow.
Today they put an electric collar on me to shut up, and you make me come back to you - no running - with a snap of your fingers.

-I am a Yorkshire Terrier.
I was a terrifying rat hunter in English mines.
Today they think I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

-I'm a Labrador Retriever.
My vision of happiness is a dive into a pond to bring back the duck he shot to my master.
Today you forget I'm a walking, running, swimming dog; as a result I'm fat, made to stay indoors, and to babysit.

-I am a Jack Russell.
I can take on a fox, a mean badger, and a rat bigger than me in his den.
Today I get scolded for my character and high energy, and forced to turn into a quiet living room dog.

-I am a Siberian Husky.
Experienced the great, wide open spaces of Northern Europe, where I could drag sleds for long distances at impressive speeds.
Today I only have the walls of the house or small garden as a horizon, and the holes I dig in the ground just to release energy and frustration, trying to stay sane.

-I am a border collie
I was made to work hours a day in partnershipwith my master, and I am an unmistakable artist of working with the herd.
Today they are mad at me because, for lack of sheep, I try to check bikes, cars, children in the house and everything in motion.

I am ...
I am a 21st century dog.
I'm pretty, I'm alert, I'm obedient, I stay in a bag...but I'm also an individual who, from centuries of training, needs to express my instincts, and I am *not* suited for the sedentary life you'd want me to lead.
Spending eight hours a day alone in the house or in the garden - with no work and no one to play or run with, seeing you for a short time in the evening when you get home, and only getting a small toilet walk will make me deeply unhappy.
I'll express it by barking all day, turning your yard into a minefield, doing my needs indoors, being unmanageable the rare times I'll find myself outside, and sometimes spending my days sunk, sad, lonely, and depressed, on my pillow.
You may think that I should be happy to be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work, but actually I’ll be exhausted and frustrated, because this is absolutely NOT what I'm meant to do, or what I need to be doing.
If you love me, if you've always dreamed of me, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athletic look make you want me, but you can't give me a real dog's life, a life that's really worth living according to my breed, and if you can't offer me the job that my genes are asking, DO NOT buy or adopt me!
If you like the way I look but aren't willing to accept my temperament, gifts, and traits derived from long genetic selection, and you think you can change them with only your good will, then DO NOT BUY OR ADOPT ME.
I’m a dog from the 21st century, yes, but deep inside me, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who guided and protected a herd still lives within.
So think **very** carefully before you choose your dog. And think about getting two, rather than one, so I won't be so very lonely waiting for you all day. Eight or ten hours is just a workday to you, but it's an eternity for me to be alone.
