Echo, what a fantastic name. He is just gorgeous. I love a GSD. Tatze is just a superstar with the pups xx

Tatze appeared to be giving you the labrador 'stare' in that last video. I wonder what she was trying to tell you?

He's adorable
Is his timidness/lack of bravery at this point a training issue? Or good that he shows caution and a thoughtful working out of the situation?

I don’t think so. He’s cautious rather than timid and likes to think new situations through carefully. It certainly makes for an easier-to-manage puppy! He doesn’t launch himself at things like most pups do.
I’ve just carried him round the local area and he showed no fear of the traffic/people/noises - just curiosity.

Every guide dog puppy should have a Tatze

I love Tatze! The way she reacts to Echo's tentative prods is exactly right as I think if she responded more playfully he might be scared, whereas he's learning she's safe. Good to hear that Echo is not showing signs of nervousness out and about.

Do you think Tatze ever gets down when one pup (Spencer) goes and another (Echo) pops up, or does she just roll with it? I've never noticed her looking glum, just wondering as it has to be odd to have one buddy suddenly disappear and then a few weeks later another whippersnapper take his/her place.

She just goes with it and reacts in the moment to the pup she’s got. But, if there is no pup - she’s much much more playful with other dogs out and about.
The love of her life is Zaba - say his name and he’d better be turning up!

Do you have something to carry the puppies in? I’m very interested to know as I will be starting to socialise “pre-vaccinated” puppies for work in the new year. Looked at certain bags to put them in but not sure what would be best?

I love the way she seems to be looking to you for guidance/approval. She clearly trusts you to help with this!Tatze is doing her best

Joy had that very same thoughtfulness and caution. It has made her easier to bring up than other pups I've had, she's kind of a bit more sensible.I don’t think so.
