What a lovely boy, and a lovely thing your family has done for him.
If you want to work on the head touching thing try offering treats with an open hand then when the treat is accepted give a gentle rub on the side of the head. Increase the touching over time as and if it becomes accepted. It will help a lot once youâre out and about and everyone wants to greet your little lad.
This worked really well for our greyhound who associated head touching with being muzzled. Now he demands head rubs. 
Also donât ease up on the pics, weâre loving sharing in your journey.

Still not 100% house trained yet, hence the pet cage for nights. He can sit, lay down and shake hands. Very fast learner considering heâs 14 months old and has never been taught anything. Walking fairly good on a lead. Runs free every morning with Fergus and comes when called.
He doesnât realise though that next week he loses his gonads, poor dog. But thems the rules.

RSPCA and Dogs Home of Tasmania rules. Weâre only fostering at the moment but it doesnât make any difference. All rescue dogs are fixed up. Fergus, our Tasmanian Smithfield, was a rescue and at a country show a farmer, whole family top to toe in RM Williams clobber and oozing money, asked if I was interested In having him look after one of his â â â â â â â . I said Id love him to and he would definitely love it as well. But alas, gonads cut off when he was a pup. Poor Fergus.
Female dog.

Whose rules ?
We lost a Black Lab to mast cell cancer during COVID. I studied the causes and history, and many quoted figures that this cancer was many times more prevalent in castrated dogs. I then checked about castrating dogs, and Australia is the leading Nation at slashing dogs gonads. In Europe it is now not done much and same happening in USA.
Our new Lab has great balls and he is keeping them. I am fighting our Local Council at present about having to pay higher registration fee.
Some Vets will tell you about testicular cancer and others about dogs being unruly. Read up on it.
What, no special lower fee for an ex-Mayor ? Thatâs gratitude for you !

Ohh, an ex-girlfriend had a Chihuahua like that.
Absolute â â â â of a dog for the first few weeks before it got used to me. Then when we broke up, I was more upset I wouldnât get to see that dog anymore.

Posted above. All dogs from the pound or RSPCA are de- sexed. Thems the rules. Down here anyway.
It was an RSPCA rule in Canberra. Discount or free de-sexing came with the purchase.
Some breeders also insist on it as a condition of a contract for pure breds
