Mister Tumnus


Mister Tumnus was born November 17, 2006, near Montreal Quebec. On Dec 30, 2006 Tumnus weighed in at a whopping 8.5lbs. Originally the breeder had named him Tiger, but our two sons wanted to call him Mister Tumnus, after their favourite character, the Fawn in Chronicles of Narnia. I guess it was appropiate since his coat colour is that of a Fawn. He may not pass as a show dog at any competition due to his extra markings on his chest, but he certainly is a show dog for us.
His first night on Jan 1, 2007, went considerably well for the first time away from his litter mates. He did whine briefly from 2:30 onward every hour or so, but promptly fell asleep in his crate. It didn't help me much for the first day back at work after the holidays, but it was well worth it. The joy he has already brought to our family has been unsurpassed.

He has had no trouble adjusting to the crate, which has been sectioned off. The crate is massive, standing at 45 inches high, 36 inches wide and 54 inches long. We didn't see the point in paying 45 dollars for an additional wall to section off the crate, so we use a piece of plywood. It won't take long for the puppy to grow into it.

We will keep you all posted of Mister Tumnus's progress and pass along any tips we learn on the way.
