That's a lot of dog for a ten-week-old.

I guess we’ll find out when she stops growing! The breeder based this on the size of her dam.

She‘s 5 weeks old.

Typically 8kg and about 14 inches high.

Her first facewash! She's so tiny at the moment, just over 1kg.

Gotcha day is 10th May. It could have been earlier but we didn't fancy taking her up the M5 during the bank holiday traffic jams.

At the weekend we went to see a litter of cockapoos and have chosen a puppy. She's a white cockapoo with black ears. Like Holly, she was not pushy with her littermates but holds her own in the rough and tumble of puppy play. Her name will be Jazz, or Jazzmyn when she's naughty! Mum is an F2...

It's mercifully rare (see map). https://www.alabama-rot.co.uk/live-map-of-cases/ Before Covid there were a few cases in our area. We carried a 1 litre spray of mildly soapy water in the car and washed Holly's legs after muddy walks. We'll probably do it for our next dog too.

A few years ago I made some oatmeal biscuits which were very tasty. When I checked the ingredients there was nothing harmful for dogs so I made a second batch using a bone-shaped cutter. I got some funny looks when people thought thought I was eating her dog treats!

That particular day sticks in my mind because it was just the two dogs. It was also the day we saw a muntjac in the woods on Crabtree Hill. I have other memories of Cassie such as the lovely walk with Rourke over the Malverns.

Who can forget Cassie as a pup. I remember Holly getting a bit stressed on one of our walks because of Cassie‘s non stop attention.

You lucky people with low energy Labs. Holly needed an all-morning walk if she was going to snooze after lunch. Cocoa was OK with an hour, provided it was twice daily.

I've only known two Setters and both of them were too stupid for words. Our son has a Jack Russell (Leo) who is a delightful dog who wants to join in everything. He's really friendly with people and other dogs but can never be trusted off lead.

Are they inherently crazy or have they been allowed to develop that way? Ive always felt that its a combination of nature and nurture which sets the character of the adult dog. We tend to go for the quieter dogs in a litter and raise them in a calm environment. It seems to work for us as...

I think we'd both love another Lab. We understand them and their curious little ways. We have to be realistic. In ten years time we may not be able to give a Lab the exercise it needs. We're going for less demanding breeds so we can meet the exercise needs of our next dog. Also, we want a...

Today I had my face washed by an 18 month old black Lab. We were at the next table so we naturally started chatting. The couple had owned Labs before and we compared notes about their characters and habits. I think they won the ‘whats the most revolting thing your dog has done’ contest. One...

The litters are due in the first half of March. We have fingers crossed that there will be enough healthy puppies to satisfy everyone on the list.

We had a great visit to Coffi Lab this morning. Our favourite black Lab puppy was there, along with several doodles and smaller dogs. There was a very well behaved greyhound at the next table and a really chilled goldie near the door. The highlight was a 12-year-old yellow Lab who was a...

Ruth and I are really sorry to hear about Casper. He was a lovely lad, and we have many memories of him from the SW pack walks.

LOL. We’re waiting on news about a litter of Cockerpoos. I we’re successful then trips to the Coffi Lab will be part of its socialising.
