Your junior dog is still growing up and will behave like a youngster from time to time.  He will probably become slightly rebellious and may even begin to ignore certain commands, even though he was obedient as a puppy.  Try to be firm but kind when he misbehaves.  This will teach him to respect you and your family.

She will have her first season at any time between six and eighteen months old and will be in season around three weeks.  she will be at risk of getting pregnant at any time within these three weeks.  you should take special care so she is kept away from male dogs during these three weeks.

Most females keep themselves clean during their season, but for hygiene reasons you may want to restrict her access from certain rooms in th house.
