    Hello,

    Our family of 4 will be growing to include a Labrador in a few weeks time. This will be our first puppy and we are very excited. I used forums to help with my two boys so I looked for help with the puppy and found you! I am a stay at home mummy (well, I work 7 hours a week) so will have plenty of time for puppy and forums asking advice! At the moment I am doing lots of reading and trying to work out what we need and what we don't need.

    Hi Jade,

    My family are also first time puppy owners. This site has been a great help.

    Hello, thank you for your welcomes.

    My boys are 4 1/2 and 7. The youngest just started school in September so I have had "empty nest syndrome" since then. We are going to call puppy, Amy. (the first name that came to my 7 years old mind). My husband is already saying we should have got two for the company but I am happy with 1 to begin with!

    You are wise ;D There are all sorts of problems with raising two puppies that many people are n't aware of. Reputable breeders won't sell two together.

    Love the name Amy. Very feminine.

    Hello and welcome from me too. love the name Amy :) Very sensible to stick to one puppy , I`ve had two together many years ago , very hard work indeed ! I have a 20 month old Lab Sam and a seven month old rescue Jack Russell Terrorist , just enough of an age gap to make it managable :)

    Ha Ha Kate!
    You do realise that Jade would be excused for thinking you have two dogs, one named Sam, one named Terrorist! :eek:
    Unique, but not impossible ;D
