Cracker is home

[Thistle]

I collected young Cracker yesterday, he's being a good pup so far, slept all night, clean and dry. Getting the idea of using the garden. The other dogs are slowly getting used to him.
Splat after trying to destroy a toy!

He’s got a beautiful head. And looong legs!

What a handsome little fella .

He's grown massively in a week. I saw him at 8 weeks just before we went skiing, he's only just 9 weeks now and has gone all lanky.

Perfect name…what a cracker he is!

Have you got springers too? If so, I’m very interested to see how you find the lab comparatively!

I can answer that one. Their tails are a weapon. Hurt like hell on your legs and then split and make the house look like there's been a murder. Can lear a coffee table in 2 seconds. Innately happy souls.
Just as intelligent and easy to train and more cuddly. Easier to tire out too. Less full on all the time. Not as demanding. Less wary of strangers and more sociable with visitors. He's only 9 months old though.

I have 2 adult labs (my dog is his dad), a springer and a rescue cocker. The labs show me that I can train a dog. The springer (now 11 and failing in physical ways) and cocker remind me frequently that a lab is born half trained and a spaniel dies half trained.

He’s gorgeous. Though I would say that - he’s the spitting image of my girl.

Lovely looking dog!
One of our Labs has absolutely no idea where her tail is, it wags vigorously and noisily against anything and everything. I keep hoping that she won't injure it but can't see what else I can do to protect it. We have had literally dozens of Labs as a family and never had a health problem with a tail up to now. We don't allow leaping over the coffee table but have had many an incident of a tail sweeping everything off one.
If it helps, the Rotts were easier to train.

Toast, Crackers dad has split his tail but I managed to heal it. He loves to bang his tail against anything that makes a noise, he'll back up to a door or cupboard. Cracker is VERY waggy.
