Jax at 9 weeks

We lost are old dog Max a 101/2 year old GSD as it was time to say goodbye. He was blind and had lived a happy life but he was in pain from his neck not happy and suffering. We have had GSD for many years and had lots of rescue dogs along with pyrenean mountain dogs, Doberman s etc. We thought it was time for a new bread and settled on the Alaskan Malamute as we wanted a dog that could take long walks.
Jax arrived on Wednesday this week at 9 weeks old. He settled in well and even had a new collar with no problems. First job was a visit to the vets for his jabs and a check after that he was a bit dopey but that didnt last long.

First few nights we had to sleep with him down stairs to stop him crying. He was for most parts house trained so that was a good thing but there were the odd accidents. He settles well very happy dog but never stops eating and likes to chew.We are a bit worried about chewing as are old dog you could leave chocolate on the table and he wouldnt touch it. He went through a set of head phones a phone charger cable in seconds so may be he is teething.

He cant go out for 4 weeks so we have to try and amuse him in the mean time so we willsee how he goes
