I was owned by an Australian Shepherd for 14 1/2 years. He was the most destructive puppy I ever had. You will have your hands full. I am currently owned by a Maltese. I hang on a Maltese board, and they all agree that Wellness is an excellent food. I've given small amounts to my diva, she likes it. But you really should make the change gradually, and maybe moisten it with warm water to make a mush. His teeth probably aren't in fully. At that age he needs to eat at least 3 times a day, then out to potty. He shouldn't be exposed to other dogs untill he's had all his shots at 14 weeks. When he's old enough, don't put him on Heartguard for heartworm. It can build up onthe herding breeds, become toxic and kill them .

Whew! Sorry I'm such a blabber mouth tonite.
