Reeva is here !

[Selina27]

She's doing pretty well, absolutely amazing on the house training front, I've never known one be so good. No poo's in the house, and is clean and dry at night until about 6.45

She seems really happy to be in her crate/pen when necessary, we did a good job between us of arranging it behind L's work desk, Cassie's old crate with ample room for Reeva's bed and a pen attached so she doesn't need to wee/poo in there, if she needs to wee before anyone's up in the morning it's always in the pen area. She has a heavy blanket over the top to keep it cosy. It's in the centre of the house so she's in the mix!

My daughter is consistent about waiting for quiet before going to her, and waits for a sit to open the gate. She has a tiny kong in there at times!

Reeva is growing in confidence and SPEED - the heady mix of spaniel and collie coming very much to fore!!

What a dear little soul x

 

[SwampDonkey]

Just adorable

 

[Lisa]

So wonderful. She will be a quick learner and so eager to please!

 

[Naya]

So glad things are going so well for all of you

She's gorgeous, I do love spaniels. I miss not having a spaniel in the family, we had one sort or another for over 20 years.

She's adorable. I love both collies and spaniels but FOR OTHER PEOPLE. As a grand-dog? Perfect.

 

[Cath]

I think its time we had more puppy photos please and of Cassie too of course

 

[Selina27]

Haha - I will try, but Reeva moves at the speed of light !

Agreed.

My niece’s Springer, Bryn, is amazing. He’s seven years old, like Tatze.
I love taking him for a walk and watching him run and quarter the field. But NO, I wouldn’t ever get one for myself. He never sleeps during the day!

This was him yesterday.

 

[Selina27]

He's gorgeous he reminds me very much of one we had when I was growing up, Rufous, he lived to 14. He calmed down by then
Helen was a handful when younger but he was older than me so I don't remember.
Reeva is a great little dog, just right for my daughter, plenty of get up and go !! But she does settle very well in her crate when Lydia is working.
She goes to the stables daily and the farm at weekends, is dry/clean at night, asks to go out in the day time, so she's doing well.
She needs to learn loose lead walking .....but I said I would not interfere .......

Finn is not sleeping during the day either.....

Great typo by myself there, bit of an own goal

 

[FayRose]

Oh, wow, reminds me SO much of Max, our dear old boy. Miss him still after 10 years.

 

[Selina27]

She has, however,, this afternoon jumped onto the kitchen table via a chair in one fluid movement like greased lightening
And so it begins !!

 

[SwampDonkey]

So it does

 

[Selina27]

A Reeva update. Housetraining continues to go well.

Otherwise, it's fair to say the spaniel half goes round and round it circles, at speed, while collie half goes round and round in, well, bigger circles

Definitely not a puppy for the faint hearted, she's rarely still

Here she is taking the air from the tractor






Sleeping eventually after a busy day

 

[Natalie]

She's so tiny in that photo on the settee!
How heavy is she now? You can see both the spaniel and the collie, definitely!

 

[Stacia]

She does look adorable but having had one the same breeding, not for the faint hearted, not like a Labrador
