Olli is our latest edition. He's an AKC registered salt and pepper Miniature Schnauzer. Isn't he the cutest?

Olli's mother was a white schnauzer and his sire was a black and silver (my favourite colour combo) and he's turned out to be the sweetest dog anyone could ever want.


We picked Olli out of his litter at 5 weeks and had to wait 3 whole weeks before we could take him home. Three whole weeks! Those were the longest weeks I could ever remember. By that time, however, we'd discovered Cesar Millan and were frantically reading his puppy book. During the course of the wait, we visited him three or four times to get him accustomed to our images and brought a toy to familiarize him with our scent. When we brought him home, we introduced him rear-first: the most polite form of introduction a puppy can muster.


Since then, he's become a pack favourite. He's one of those rare dogs that gets along with everybody and anybody. His favourite playmates are Muffy and Jack, but he'll also play with the rest of the doggies. There is one drawback: severe separation anxiety. Terriers are an interesting breed - everything they do, they do to their fullest. Olli doesn't just whine when you're gone, he'll literally begin screaming and it takes at least ten minutes before he calms down again. There are techniques for curing this, but it'll take time :)
