    Now there is a different expression: instead of "resting b**ch face", she's giving 100% "WHERE-IS-MY-COOKIE-FOR-BEING-A-GOOD-GIRL face". :D

    Marvellous Miss Mollie has turned into a mad marauding monster in these last few days!

    She's putting her feet up on counters and wherever else she can, she's running at me and grabbing my leg and biting - hard! She's shouting for attention and trying to chew the chairs.

    Eeeeeeeek!

    I'm putting it down to teething lol :p:rolleyes:

    Good thing I love her to the moon and back xx

    Oops, growing up with a vengeance! We need video proof, though, because she looks far too angelic to behave like that!

    Oh no - not angelic, there's a little glint in the eye that I recognise from Ripple and his biting days :D - although he still has his moments with that look :eek:.

    Bless her little face.
    Does she rub her eyes, Mags? She just looks like she's missing quite a bit of hair around them, just like Luna. I don't really see Luna rubbing - I think I've seen her doing it casually twice - but she definitely does it.

    No, she's never bothered with her eyes at all.

    Mollie is coming out of the crazeeeeee phase at last - she has her moments but is mostly not biting and the surfing has ceased entirely - phew!

    Mollie negotiated the garden centre stairs no problem. They are open tread and curved with open banisters. Clever girl

    She's nineteen weeks old now :)

    Smart baby! Those curved stairs are bad, open tread are the scariest.

    Will you train her to take an escalator as well? Brogan was the master of the escalator ride but I view teaching another dog the skill with trepidation. :eek:

    Just had a thought! If Molly is going to be a brood bitch, will she be going to a private home as her 'ever home' or will she be in kennels?

    She'll be in a private home, just in kennels at the breeding centre for each season :)

    Here are some photos of Mollie with her own Mum, Vanda, in their home where she was born. I went to visit them when Mollie was 4 weeks old. The last photo is of Mollie's BBH (brood bitch holder) with one of Mollie's brothers. We are in touch on fb and she gets lots of updates from me and the other PWs. Vanda will stay with her when she retires. Mollie's litter was her second, so she'll retire after one more litter.

    Brood bitch holders have to live within half an hour of the breeding centre. She's considering having Mollie back - I hope she does!

    No, some GDs are escalator trained, not all - but the training is not done by us PWs, I'm glad to say!
