Hello, New pup due to join us in early January

Refreshing my memory and learning new techniques etc in preparation for the arrival of new pup in January!

 

Hello and welcome to you and yours!
Tell us more.....we are hungry for information on new puppies (particularly if it involves photos (check out our Technical & Help section for the photo posting stuff!)

Hi and welcome from Poppy and me, in Germany

 

A black male pup who will be called Brodie, I pick him up on the 3 January. I have had lab's before but work commitments have prevented me from having a dog for a few years. A lifestyle change now enables me to have a wee friend again to enjoy my move to rural Perthshire.

Hi Karen, One of my lab's was with me for many years whilst I worked in Germany. Lots of great forrests to enjoy exploring.

 

How exciting, looking forward to hearing all about Brodie and seeing photos.
From 6 month old Dexter and me.

 

Tried to up load picture but got a message saying I was not authorised to add attachments!!

 

This is where reading the Technical & Help section might be useful
You need to use a third party to host your photos such as Flickr, Photobucket or Imgur or something else similar, then copy the BBC code it gives you to paste in the text box. Depending if you are on laptop or ipad or phone, some of the hosts are better than others. My current favourite is photobucket.
Hope you work it out, as we would love to see a photo of that little bundle in your avatar.
Lilly and I reside in the N.E. section of the Kingdom of Fife, and we have another member possibly quite near to you too.

 

How exciting waiting to collect a new puppy . Photos have to be hosted through a site like Flickr or Imgur etc. There's help on the Technical tab under 'Forum'. All very easy once you've done it once. Have you read Pippa's book The Happy Puppy Handbook? If not get it quick. I found it invaluable for help and advice not just in the preparation for a puppy but in those early weeks and months. Like you I went sometime between dogs and found the book very easy to read, absorb and put in practise.

 

Welcome to the forum! How exciting that you are soon to be getting another Labrador puppy

 

Oh my, that's so far away. How will you ever bear the wait? Welcome to the board.

 

Snap I am picking up our new puppy on the 3 January Hello and welcome to the forum from Fred and me.

 

Welcome!

Two people getting puppies on January 3rd! What a wonderful way to start 2016!

 

Welcome - how exciting! Better than Christmas day as a child!

 

Have we seen puppy photos yet? You must be excited . Do we have a name yet?

 

Yes indeed, we live right on the doorstep of the Taunus forest - we walk out of our door and into hundreds of square miles of hills and forest. Where did you live in Germany?

 

Everyone in the family is going to put the name they would like in a box and we will pick one out. The only thing I have said I must like the name before it goes in the box. No photo yet but will post one when I have one. I can't wait. Yes I am like a big kid

 

We had four names Rosie, Poppy, Pepper and Tatze.

The first three were my names but I let my son choose in the end!

I STILL want a little female called Poppy!!

 

Have to say; they are rather nice...

 

Oh, how exciting! New puppies are the BEST!

Yup, rose-tinted hindsight-goggles are firmly attached now

 

It's a bit like having a human baby, you quickly forget all the bad bits
