Introducing ULRICO UFANO CABAŅA DE OTAULA, born on 10th June 2009, affectionately known as Peanut.............................
On
the 2nd August 2009 our lives were changed forever by the arrival of Peanut.
Peanut was very kindly
given to us by Diego, from the Otuala kennels in Alhaurin de la Torre.
As a change
to the smaller PDAE and Puli's we decided to have one dog of a large breed. As we are here in Spain we decided to have a Spanish
breed similar to the Newfoundlands we had in England.
When Peanut arrived he was just
under eight weeks old and weighed 6kg, his weight is increasing steadliy and he will be about 90kg when he is fully mature.
You
can follow his progress here:
02 - 08 - 2009 6kg
01
- 09 - 2009 18kg
02-04-2010
70kg
He is very strong
willed and is currently being taught to wait by the door to be invited in, not push us out of the way first! On the plus side
he does sit nicely for his dinner, (breakfast & lunch), and give his paw very willingly.
He
gets on well with the other dogs, but obviously doesn't realise he is much heavier than them. His favourite toy is our 12
week old PDAE puppy, Rocio (Billie Jean - I Am The One De Jesselliot). She gives as good as she gets tho'!

in English and Spanish with lots more information on.
