Odif,..nice of you to take him in despite the complications of having a dog in your area,..of course the poor dog wouldn't know were he to break out for a sniff around,..he could well be shot as a goat or sheep chaser,..i would suspect he was abandoned,..either on his own or with his brothers and sisters and they were dropped here and there,..someone will take in one but not the entire brood. Its not just where you live but most farming areas where there are sheep don't take any chances with a wandering dog,..like where i live but that is fine,..dog control is necessary. Delighted you have left him with a friend and that you will see him from time to time,..do take pictures as he gets older it will be nice to have a follow up.
I wanted to call him carpenter, because he does odd jobs around the house and when you give him a kick, he makes a bolt for the door. Tintin needs his rest after all the holes that he digs outside.
They train it to stay within boundries of an area by giving it a warning sound andd then a shock! Kennel club https://www.thekennelclub.org.uk/our-resources/kennel-club-campaigns/electric-shock-collars/
Tintin lives in a fenced in property and he has an adult dog to show him the ropes. I will bring him on walks When he gets a bit older.
He is cute. It's never to early to start training him to the leash or to walk at your heel. I was watching some police dog shows on youtube not long ago and it was a puppy they started training at 9 weeks.. he was an awesome dog.
