    Hope Twiglet is recovering well from her spay. She is just adorable. Does she shed less than Tatze with her being GR/Lab cross? Just wondering how owners get on with all the hair that is shed? My house is full of it!

    Hi Suze,

    She sheds more than Tatze! I think yellow hair shows up much more too. Their owners are given the tools for grooming and groom them every day just as us puppy walkers do - it's part of the bonding with the dog too :)

    Twiglet's scar is certainly minimal and much better for ensuring she doesn't notice it. I hope she's not feeling too energetic, though! :)

    Yes it is possible - their Brood Bitches are in the 'no neuter' group :)

    Here is a link if you are interested ;)

    Make sure you take lots of photos today to keep those special memories. She is looking gorgeous and so grown up. Merry Christmas Mags, Tatze and Twiglet xx

    Beautiful! Are they going to be colour-coded if you get different colours in future puppies?

    Really lovely. Hope it's on the wall high enough to hang all the future names on!

    The plaque is beautiful ,what a super idea to display all the dogs names that will pass through your hands x
    The Christmas day picture is beautiful too......shes grown up so much from the little puppy we see in the first picture when we open your thread.......lump in my throat when you say it will be her first and last Christmas with you but she will be doing other wonderful things this time next year and you will have another name on the wall,I'm sure x

    Twiglet - seven weeks to seven months - where does the time go?
