    Hi all!

    I have joined the forum today, and I can already see that it's going to be extremely help for my family and myself. I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life, the current family pet is a chocolate Labrador called Milo. He is 4 and just the loveliest and most relaxed dog you would ever meet. Therefore when my partner and I decided to get a dog, a Labrador was at the top of our list. Gunner will be coming home with us on 20th of September, and in the meantime I've became a crazy puppy mum! We are both really excited and have been reading anything we can to help Gunner settle in well and become a well trained Labrador!

    I looks forward to getting to use this forum a lot more!

    Hello up there from Chepi and me in Surrey. You must be very excited and Milo will have canine company! Good luck with the puppy!

    Welcome from me and my enormous 39kg yellow boy called Pongo!

    We live in south Wales, but I'm originally from Scotland. Whereabouts are you?

    Welcome!
    My OH lived in Bearsden, born at The Queen Mums. (Me, originally Elgin)
    We are now located in NE Fife and have Lilly who is 5.
    Great to see an increase in the Scottish contingent. Might get a group walk eventually :cool:

    He lived there until 1973 - when he was 7 (apparently). I guess you may have rubbed shoulders with him at some point LOL

    Hee hee - was he at Bearsden Primary? I'd have been a couple of years ahead of him, I suppose...

    Thanks everyone, you are all too kind.

    It just shows that that world is a lot smaller than you think!
