Had a long Zoom call this evening with Bear's breeder and all the families who had one of Bear's brothers and sisters. Turns out they are all a bit bonkers

. Even Sula, the breeder's pup stole a toilet roll twice on the call and was called challenging

. And she's a dog trainer. Turns out recall around other dogs is a huge problem ( actually Bear is not that bad with this) and the painful mouthing of my arms I am really , really struggling with is happening with two of the others, too. And we are all struggling with general excitability which we think has a definite lockdown link.
And discovered today that Bear's grandad is Forest ( I was in a puppy haze last year and tbh don't pay a lot of attention to this stuff) so he is second cousin (?) to Toffee
@SteffiS ? I love that I can see photos and videos of his mum and nan through the breeder but now I have another close family member to track drown and drool over!
