Hi everyone! This is Duncan, he’s about to be 5 months old. He’s currently 23 pounds😆🤣 Everything I’ve googled and even read in here said that’s completely normal and he’ll probably end up around the 38-40 pound mark fully grown. I read their weights can vary and it’s still a mini. Well I have Duncan’s dna test and also his parents full panel + akc papers and he’s 100% a mini. But his vet keeps arguing with me that he’s a mutt and refuses to update his chart, so now on all his vet papers he’s an “Aussie mix”. The vet told me last week that I was scammed and Duncan is mixed with a mini and a standard, and they didn’t care when I told them I have his dna test to prove otherwise. Is he truly that big? I’m very frustrated at the vet but now they’re making me question if he’s actually a mini lol. Here’s a pic of Dunk Man!

Duncan has a VERY hard time settling down while in the house, and the only way to get him to be calm is crating him. I didn’t want to always have to crate him in order for him to learn to be still, so today I started “tethering”. I don’t know why I haven’t done this sooner!🤣 Duncan is nearly 16 weeks and while he does great in every other aspect of training, turning off his brain and winding down is not his strong suit. I thought I’d never be able to teach him how to settle down in the house so I count today as a small win lol
