Hi, I'm about a month away from owning my first dog - a gorgeous little golden retriever boy, who'll be joining the household with my partner's existing 7 year old stupidly cute Labrador. Enjoying the advice, 'Happy puppy handbook' ordered and on the way and looking forward to being a new pup dad down in New Zealand. No doubt will post all of the usual questions as I learn, along with a bucketload of photos because *my* retriever pup will of course be cuter than everyone else's
