Good morning everyone. I came across this forum while doing a little research on our new 9 week old silver lab. I’m going to enjoy looking around and reading up on some tips during his early up bringing. I know the “controversy” surrounding this pedigree but I couldn’t care less, the naysayers can save their breath as I don’t listen to ignorance. Our new puppy is gorgeous, highly intelligent, and a pure Labrador in every sense of the word and stature. Just thought i’d post a welcome before I look around the forum. Thanks for having me.
Hi Cajun, welcome to the forum! Your puppy is gorgeous, I'm very fond of Labs with non-standard colours and markings, despite the debate around them! In answer to your question, all new members have their first two posts moderated - just to check you're a real person, and not a bot signing up to post spam The time delay is due to the fact most of the mods are based in the UK
Thank you for letting me know, and thank you for the kind comments concerning my Ronin. My ex-wife and her husband are the breeders of him. They have one pair of silvers they breed once a year, Cash is the sire and Beaux is the dam. Both are family pets but Cash is also a very well-trained duck dog. My wife and I lost our Maltese of 12 years this Spring, so when my ex mentioned they were planning to have another litter this Summer, I had to have one. His retriever desire is strong so i'm planning to train him to be a duck, quail, dove, and pheasant dog.
Welcome to the forum! I got my pup at 7 weeks from the breeder in June, and honestly, I never would have survived the first 2 months with Sophie without the support of the other puppy owners in this group. I got lots of great advice and also it was nice just to know someone understood my struggles as a single, work from home brand new puppy owner (never had a puppy, only grown dogs). Sophie is now 5.5 months old and I still come to this forum for advice on new challenges. Let us know if you need anything!
