OK....five sleeps left, just can't wait!

They grow so quickly!!

What's first on your training plan? I bet you have a training plan

 

[Loraseal]

Just catching up! Fantastic news! I am not puppy broody at all!

 

[Selina27]

I am not puppy broody at all!

No nor I am. Definitely not. Wouldn't dream of it, never.

Although I did think, when Cass is 4, maybe, perhaps.....

Which is actually only next year.

Oh yes!

Probably though the first thing will be around just getting used to our other dogs....very slowly. Her new home, name and crate work.

I am working on a combination of puppy culture and Fenzi Baby Genius for the initial training plan, think I will start up a training log for Otter in the next fews days

Yes, she'll be grown up by then! Better start planning...

Eh?

 

[Beanwood]

They are sausages, called puppies!

 

[Selina27]

Oh.

 

[SwampDonkey]

Are they made of puppies?

 

[Charlie]

Aw @Beanwood how very exciting, a new puppie. I LOVE the name Otter and you will never believe that it is on my shortlist for my next puppy/dog. It's not any more!! Good luck with the pickup and can't wait to follow her life x

 

[Emily_Babbelhund]

Two more sleeps until puppy pick up!!!

 

[snowbunny]

So sooooon!

Blimey , its come round so fast ! I remember the feeling , excitement , nervous , worried but longing to hold my very own puppy , not long now @Beanwood x

 

[Beanwood]

Blimey, its come round so fast !

Yes, it has....although this week has dragged! Now I am sort of in a bit of a panic...have we got everything ready? Probably not.....We are both so excited, and totally in love with Otter, and (sort of...) looking forward to our journey together.

We are driving up to Yorkshire tomorrow late afternoon, staying at a lovely B&B with Casper( Raven Car B&B derbyshire ) a wonderful place, and one of the most dog-friendly places we have stayed.
We collect Otter then at 11 am on Wednesday, it will be a bittersweet day for the breeder, as we know she was torn between the 2 female pups she had, so fully expect it to be a bit difficult for her, and the children. A 4-hour journey home, then be prepared to be inundated with Otter photos!

Good luck for today, have a good trip back with Otter

 

[Beanwood]

Otter should be here mid-afternoon. Hubby has arrived at the breeders now

I remember going to pick up Tatze - better than any Christmas Day I can remember!
