I just love them GS!!!
My livery yard friend has just offered me a pup when she has a litter from her lovely Lab bitch and I don't think I could say no!! Will be a year or two yet, but very exciting to think about!

It is exciting and at the minute I can enjoy her without time pressure .
Having a puppy is a very special experience .
What I love is watching the adult emerge

I don't know anything about training dogs, GS, but isn't training just a game to her at the moment, working out what will please you?

She is, of course, still gorgeous. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't start training from the beginning. In fact, imo, it's like schooling horses, something that happens whether you intend it to or not, in every interaction you have with the dog/horse and better when it's in a context. There is certainly no point in letting them get used to running wild before you step in.

We say exactly the same as you 'Dad would have loved these 2' and they would have loved him.

I took Dram for a short while to a gun dog trainer he would been around a year old he told it’s not uncommon for people to bring eighteen month old dogs who know nothing .
Dram was super well behaved I was so proud when he said I had done a good job .
Mini Minx is sitting waiting for until I say ok before she eats .
Following me when I tap my thigh .
Ok recall but nothing like what you need in public .
she knows ahah ( that’s naughty ) and No
She is like a little sponge .
The housetraining is ace I had to leave her during the day on Thursday and Friday for three hours I left her in the puppy pen with pads .
Got back both times to a dry pen and a puppy desperate to get out .

Just caught up on yesterday’s report Goldenstar. She’s coming on a treat. So glad to see someone getting on with little bits of training right from the start. It’s amazing how much they can take in and they never forget.

I prefer Mini Minx as a name, I hope it sticks.

Loving the pictures, I can't believe how fast she is growing!
