My dog travels very well now. It's manifested itself in other areas. He wasn't sick as in bokey, just insanely drooly, his legs were saturated. It's definitely something I'd be on the lookout for next time.

I'd be very interested to know what other behaviours your dog shows that you attribute to his early car sickness.

I think there is travel/motion sickness (which a lot of pups briefly go through) and then there are dogs who are phobic about travel which takes it to a whole other level.

Hi CT :)
I really wanted to do a new post with some pics but i'm ashamed to say that i'm not very good on a pc and can't work out how to put photo's from my laptop onto here
I traveled for hours deep into the countryside to find Mr Vets house, maddest journey iv'e ever had, went through tunnels and huge gorges, massive valleys and over wonderful rivers, saw castles and medieval villages hanging off the sides of cliffs and finally at the end of a winding road was a mostly derelict hamlet overlooking an enormous valley and 2 stunning Weim pups were running around with their mum!! I fell in love with one of them instantly, he is called Nickel, pronounced Neeck-el. He's 9 weeks old, house trained , socialised , calm, confident and attentive already, he won't win anything for conformation but he is beautiful and very loving. I completely adore him already :). Mr Vet was charming and so happy that we wanted Nickel he reduced the price to almost nothing :)
As i am writing this ( in bed) i have my beautiful big french hound asleep in one bed and little pup next to her in his, neither will stir till morning :)
Perfect...........:):)

What a wonderfully evocative description of your journey. Sounds magical! And the pup sounds like he was made for you. Look forward to seeing photos. (I haven't read the whole thread yet though ... so hoping there might be some further down)
 
Just posted pics in a new thread. But I'll add them here to as thinking about it, I should just have put them here, duh!

Lovely pictures Leo, thank you for posting for Shady.

Jennbags is our chief poster so I hoping she will be back from holiday when I start a baby flatcoat thread.

Love more pictures as your baby grows Shady, they can go on the other thread Leo started.

Omg, I would have loved that road trip!! It sounds like a fabulous adventure with the prize of a very handsome pup at the end of it. He's absolutely gorgeous! Is he docked? There are 2 round here that are, I didn't realise they were supposed to be, or maybe they've suffered an injury? Am clueless on the breed, but yours is beautiful!

Great news Shady, followed your post although I didn't comment. I agreed with your sentiments about the first breeder and am glad you have found a lovely pup.
I collect a flatcoat pup next week, I chose her at five weeks and paid a deposit. It was a bit young but you could see small differences. The breeder of my two current dogs bred the Mother, and I know the father , so all rather different.
Have a wonderful time with your new family member.

I fear I will be extremely jealous! I absolutely love the look of flatcoats. Zak used to have a flatcoat friend, he had a very similar shaped head to him, weird!

Thanks CT :)
Iv'e been to some crazy places since moving to France but nothing as dramatic as the countryside we drove through that day and to find this hamlet perched on the end of a bluff at the end of it was magical. D'you know iv'e no idea really about docking except they all used to be and now here in France they do both, even within the same litter. The tail is a lethal weapon and quite long , iv'e also noticed that many that are not docked have a lump in them so maybe it's partly medical and partly to safeguard the testicles of the usually male owner :D xxx

ps, coz you love France, we were near Brousse-le- Chateau , postcode 12480 you can google it!!!!
