HE IS HERE! So after all the problems with Delta, he finally landed and we picked him up. He was quiet in his crate (which smelled like a toilet), but came to the front to see us, and we opened the door and he came out calm and curious. Blessedly, he was not shell-shocked, no nervousness or fear. My girlfriend immediately scooped him up to take him outside to pee. He had no issues being held by a "stranger" and immediately took to the leach and collar she put on him to walk him. He wa calm for about a minute. As soon as we started walking across the parking lot (there were several low-flying planes so loud they frightened me, but he pad no attention at all) he started bouncing around, grabbing the leash in his mouth, then going after our legs, pants and butts - taking full-mouthed grips and even giving a few kill-shakes to my girlfriend's pants! He is a LOT of puppy! Big, too - she was totally surprised (as was I) this boy has been in transit THREE DAYS and he comes out bouncing and biting! She has more than she bargained for... in fact she said "I always thought Malinois were German Shepherds on crack - now I think Vlcaks are MALINOIS on crack!" Even high-sport Mal puppies would not have behaved like this pup!
So she is relieved he is not "ruined" and that he is such a handful. He will test her and we predict some shredded clothes...
He is also a big boy for 9 weeks - he will be a big adult I think. His white wolf mask is appearing and his head is lovely. Everything seems to be well put together... he doesn't even mind being held like a baby...
Will keep y'all updated on FL Vlcak #2!
