Loving the puppy pictures and updates. My daughter has a chocolate mini Smooth dachshund called Rosie who inevitably I get to look after. I am not keen on tiny dogs but she has a huge character, is full of fun and afraid of nothing.
I will send a photo to the wonderful JB who is our photo poster.

Wash your mouth out! No, she is a full on working type. In fact she looks like a half bred whippet. I don't like a snipey head on any animal though, thankfully as you say she has a nice square muzzle.

Haha. Oops, oops. I only say as she looks a lot chunkier that a lot of the working types you see. Like you I don't like pointy faces so I think she's gorgeous.

Chiffy those two are gorgeous. I'd love a Dachshund but have been put off by their health issues you hear about so often.

I want a teckel. A man local to us does a lot of stalking and his teckel tracks any deer that need it. If he comes here lamping foxes it wears a flashing colour and tracks down the body then, too, as a dead fox lying on a ploughed field is really hard to see. She is a lovely dog, but I am not sure how trainable she would be, and as a pet she might be a bit tiring.
 
Can I gatecrash please, no photos yet but we have a cocker spaniel arriving in 4 weeks, her name is Betty Boo. She is my sisters 50th birthday present and the kids are sooo excited. I have yet to break the news to the cats, all 10 of them.

Love all the pictures of everyone else's puppies ��

I love Fitz, he has such a noble head.
Tommy is fab, what cross is he? He looks very cheeky.
JennBags, I hadn't computed your girl was only 6 months, she looks so grown up.

tommy is a bit of a heinz 57. he has patterdale/border/yorkshire/jack russel terrier plus chihuahua in him and yes he is a cheeky boy, went to little downham yesterday and had to stop loads of times as everyone loved him....he is now on my lap asleep and i can relax for a while....
 
Thanks for posting the picture JB.
SpringA the Flatcoat is mine and the Sausage pup is my daughter's. Not a clue why she chose it , not my scene at all. My daughter did lots of research and knows the risks so we will see. I am wondering if there is more trouble with the standard ones.
Clodagh, your pup is coming on a treat. Nothing wrong with pointy nose dogs but not on a Labrador!
I don't think my kitchen is particularly clean, four large dogs in it most of the day!
 
Lovely updates and photos of everyone's pups. I am a little puppy broody - but it is easy to forget what hard work and how demanding they are when you haven't had one for a while!

I don't have my own puppy update and sadly the bitch that was pregnant to my dog reabsorbed the pups, so no puppy for me this year. Maybe next.

For now though, here is my husband's latest addition.

Moss is now four months(ish) and is such a character. He is afraid of nothing and no-one, which is great in a border collie as they can be such a sensitive and reactive breed. He is a feisty so-and-so though and I can see we might have issues with him wanting to rule the roost around the other dogs when he is more mature. He has only seen sheep through the fence so far and is interested, but going on the way he grips the other dogs and tries to hang on, I am imagine he might have a grip on sheep when he starts his training. Time will tell. We don't usually take our sheepdog pups to sheep until they are usually around 9 months or so. I will try to add some photos.
 
shame you dont have a puppy this year WGSD but your collie looks like he will be a tough one. all the puppies are beautiful and i had forgotten how much hard work they are.....
 
Moss really has got what Alec Swan calls the collie 'eye' doesn't he? I hope they grow out of swinging off the other dogs as Pen is always swinging off Tawny. Times like this I miss the old lurcher who would have soon taught her some manners. How do dogs that only live with 'soft' dogs learn to play nice?
 
can't remember how to do photos- hope this works!
Asher.
He has had a terrible past and my husband can sometimes trigger barking as a nasty man abused him. But coming on leaps and bounds and such cute puppydog eyes!
he looks like he is going to be a big boy- larger than sky who is 19kg

Oh Moss is a handsome boy, and he looks very intense, I bet he'll be a great sheepdog.

sorry to hear about the pups WGSD, what a shame! Moss is a sturdy, handsome lad though :)

Thanks everyone. Moss is great - and has all the makings of a strong working dog, but time will tell on that one.

He certainly shows some eye on the other dogs, but not excessively so (which is usually a good thing, as it can make them a bit sticky).

Ha! The funny thing about Moss is that he also hangs off the harder dogs who tell him in no uncertain terms to "**** off" and he sort of shrugs and says "Ok" but then tries his luck again later! I do feel for the softer dogs though, especially a lovely natured collie boy we have called Dave, who spends much of his exercise time with a smaller black/white Velociraptor hanging off his neck!

LOL! I belted - handswiped - the puppy this morning (sorry, I know not allowed on here) as she would not leave Tawny alone. She learned well and has improved. Whether she will remember tomorrow morning is another matter.

She is gorgeous. I wish labradors came in that colour! Druid picks up with a lurcher, I wonder if a whippet could do it?

Yup, I reckon so. Dylan retrieves out of water and Floyd is the most trainable dog I've ever had

Floyd has gone from tiny chubby puppy:

Hes very striking. He had bright blue eyes but they have darkened to a bluey grey now. Hes a total sweetheart, I dont think he has so much has had a bad thought in his life.
