    Hi everyone.

    Glad to be here to read, share and learn. We are the owners of Freja, a 12 week dark yellow girl who joined our family about 4 or 5 weeks ago. In the past I have been the proud owner of a chocolate dog and a black bitch, but since losing them some years ago, have wanted a new addition who wouldn't be confused in any way in my affections, hence our choice of a yellow little one. Smallest of the litter, but with both show and field in her recent line, we are fascinated to see how she will turn out.

    She has settled really well, with only a couple of disturbed nights at the very beginning and almost no indoor accidents at all. We are encouraged so far, as she has responded to 'sit', 'bring it' and 'bed' without too much difficulty, and is picking up hand signals too. We are prepared for her to forget it all and eat the postman, dig a tunnel to France and make a house from stolen underwear, however. She is a labrador, of course.

    Anyway, thought we would say hi :p

    No point, is there? :) ... we'll take any small victories where we can, when we can! If we wanted an easy life we would have bought goldfish :rolleyes:

    Hi from Holly and me in Monmouth. It sounds like Freja has got off to a great start. Being a lab she will forget all this good behaviour and training during the teenage phase, then turn into an adorable and loving dog.
