Thanks for your replies guys, i will give Dodson and horrell a ring in the morning and see what they have to say about her. Carmenlucy123: to answer your questions, yes she will be mine forever! I loved her Mum to bits and have always said i would have one of her babies. My sister bred...

i have a 'small sized' wire crate, do you think it is probably too big for her? as a puppy she would just toilet in it which i had put down to how she was kept before we bought her, i did think the crate looked too big for her she can run round in it quite happily but people kept saying it was...

Hiya thanks for all your replies, i hadnt thought of a litter tray and tbh I'ld be quite happy for her to use a litter tray i might give it a go! to answer the questions... we did crate train her as a puppy but about 6 months ago during the summer when she was being a good girl we removed...
