Can't believe how quickly she has settled in! Such a confident pup.

OOOOh How CUTE!!  :thumbsup:
Is she a WHGSP? She is beautiful! Have lots of fun! My GSP x lurcher (more GSP than lurcher in every way) was the most challenging pup  I've ever had... He is such a softy, but can be very stubborn!


Very jealous !!

Thanks  Correct term is a gwp.  I have 1 already, who is her aunt and lost one 18 months ago, who would have been her grandad.  Lovely breed and wouldn't be without them.  Excellent working dogs too.

I do, I do, I do  :love:

I've just been let down - I really wanted another tri brittany; a chap who bred the granddaughter of Belle, Allez and Freckles to a dog that goes back to their lines has just sold the ONLY tricolour in the litter to a working home in Ireland, because it's a dog and he said I told him I didn't want a dog.  I didn't say that, I just said when he phoned me at 7am the morning they were born that it was a pity it was a dog. I was only half awake and I think he was too as he'd been up all night.

There aren't any other bloodlines in the UK I'd want - so ................... either I speak to Sharon about a Wirey or go to France for a Brit.

go to France for a Brit.

That's kind of counter-intuitive  :innocent:

Not so daft - they come from there, they still have the original bloodlines my dogs were bred from,I'm not keen to outcross mine to other lines, so why not?

Doganjo, Why not indeed.  :thinking:  You can have a bit of a break at the same time if you can get someone to look after the others for you while you are away. :)
Helen VF, She is a fine looking pup.
I'll have to post some pictures of my new dark yellow (Fox Red) Labrador Retriever puppy. When she stays still long enough to take some pictures.

At least you know the correct name for the colour Kaz - not everyone does!  I'd love to see her.  :excited:

Belle is gorgeous  :)

Annie, go to Brittany and bring home the exact pup you want, it's fate the dog got sold so you can take a trip and go on a puppy tour  ;D

All photos gratefully awaited..

Thanks all.

That's disappointing Doganjo.  Difficult decision for you to make.

Seems its pups talk all round, my daughter just bought a Visla pup, a friend a Fox Red Lab/Retriever and we have some chocolate labs due very soon and YES, they do have health checks and we do have people waiting...and  YES we are keeping 1 :innocent:   Nothing like a pup for cuteness and cuddle factor
