He likes this radiator!

It was his first puppy class today. There were five pups, all the same age as him. He made two good friends, Poppy (black Lab) and Lola (yellow Lab). They are not allowed to play in class but they socialised in the coffee room - and so did we.

Spencer was murder at puppy class - too excited and keen to say “hello” to every dog he saw.
Echo is quite hesitant with other dogs and pups. There are always several Guide Dogs in the waiting area and lots of trainees walking past on the car park. He was wary, but not nervous or scared, so that’s a good sign.

It's interesting that even though your GD puppies have been bred specifically for temperament they still seem to have different personalities and attitudes.

Glad to hear Echo is easier in puppy class. Maybe instead of "wary" he's "careful" and "serious"? Those are good qualities in a guide dog, right?

I love the way his ears seem to be more retriever (i.e. fluffier) than the rest of him. And I agree with @Jelinga , you're such a talented photographer!

Yes. They are all different.

Echo is bold with people and unfazed by traffic etc. I wonder if he was a bit bullied in the litter? Something has made him wary of dogs.

We did a school assembly yesterday. Echo was a good boy

Echo looks amazingly good for such a young pup - wow.

Those kids look like they are LOVING your visit. Good boy, Echo (and good human, Mags)!
