Introducing Ranger

Hey all. Spent all day yesterday driving back and forth to pick up my new boy. He is an OFRN APBT and named Ranger as in Joe's Red Ranger. I have been following the liter on a daily basis since they were "on the ground" and several weeks ago put a deposit down on a male. Picks were yesterday as the pups are 9 weeks. Here are a few pictures to introduce him.

LMAO!! I have a cat that attacks the TP when I have company over. Puppies are awesome! I still have the fever. He is adorable still and looks like he's starting to fill in a bit from the lanky stage. I love him and his name. Thank you for posting pics. Made my day!

Time for some new Ranger pictures. He is stunning as ever and super athletic in everything he does, also very driven, no matter what it is. From the time I opened the pool this year he has been obsessed with the water. He loves going under the sprinklers or getting sprayed with the hose, but his real passion is swimming. I bought him a vest even though he doesn't need one and taught him that he doesn't go in the pool unless the vest is on. So far so good. He will go over by the pool and look in but he only dives in when he has his vest on. Of course, my dogs don't go out without me in the yard with them, but I don't want him jumping in the water and then coming in the house. Anyway, some pics and a short video.
Thanks for the look.

Thanks Mac! I drove to Indiana this morning and picked up my 7 and 11 YO grand girls to bring back to stay the weekend. Linda, the 17 YO that lives with us and her two younger sisters formed a circle and were dancing to the music in the pool. Ranger dives in and got right in the middle of them. They were laughing so hard playing "ring around the Ranger". He swims without an off switch and loves just doing laps back and forth. The nice part is it tires the hell out of him. After I rinse him and dry him off, he hits his bed and rests.
Glad to have input, as always.

Some new Ranger pics. He loves to swim but even more to distance jump into the pool. He has his green Tug of War toy that floats, we flip it in the air, and he jumps for it, often catching it. He then swims to the stairs or the ladder, gets out (self-taught on the ladder), drops his toy on the side and the game repeats, endlessly.

Thanks for the comments, Mac. I like the way his ears are, still a bit floppy, but his head hasn't popped yet. He is a handsome boy. Still has a lot to learn. He is getting better with less pulling on the leash on walks. He absolutely loves Athena and is great with her BUT he wants to go after every other dog he sees. Hair standing straight up on his back and fixated on trying to get to the other dog. Twice he has been charged at by loose dogs whose owners didn't have them leashed; you know those privileged people who feel their dog doesn't need to be tethered. I had all I could do to contain him, luckily with no contact with each other. So, high dog aggression but I'm working at the "leave it" and look at me" commands. He hasn't had the socialization that I would like to give him but with the way he behaves I can't encourage someone to "sacrifice" their dog right now. :LOL: He is only 10 months old and still a work in progress.

Oh they're a handful at that age. Geach was a holy terror and all of a sudden went "deaf" around that time. Torc started that early. I'm glad Ranger is good with Athena though. She's probably taught him a lot and will keep teaching him until he's too big. LOL
