    her name in English means Wild Beauty....and indeed she is. She is incredibly social, gorgeous, and quite the biter. That's our biggest problem. She is being treated for a bladder infection, on a next level antibiotic & tolerating it well. But she really bites us.....we have bandages all up down our arms. Could she be hungry? she weighs 13.5 lbs and 3 times a day we give her dry puppy food, 3/4 of cup....and a tsp of plain yogurt twice a day. She probably gets an additional 1/2 cup of kibble for good behavior. She still has 1/2 accidents a day. She is outdoors supervised for at least 2 hours during 6a-6p...we have great yards for her to explore. We place her into her crate once she bites us.....we have begun yelling OUCH today, just because it really is painful. Thanks for anyone's suggestions...we live in Central Virginia, so our weather is perfect for outdoor playing. Holly

    Hi Holly and Fiadh-Aiofe, welcome to the forum!

    Puppies can be utterly savage :) If you try searching this forum for 'land shark' or 'crocopup', you'll discover you're not alone, and it's a stage all puppies go through, and, eventually, grow out of.

    This article on our main site has lots of tips for coping in the meantime.

    Hang in there!
