    Hello,

    I am Gemma and live in Kent, my husband and I picked up our very first choccie lab puppy yesterday called Isla. She is 11 weeks old today, we would have picked her up at 8 weeks but we moved house so she stayed with her breeder for a few weeks while we settled in.

    She's an absolutely poppet, and currently sleeping quietly in her crate. I'm going to have lots of questions I'm sure! We have books and have both owned dogs before albeit when we where children, but there is nothing like gaining advise from experienced owners I've found :)

    This is her when we went to see her at 6 weeks old

    Beautiful pup! Welcome from me and my two, Willow and Shadow. The puppy times are precious and go so fast. Takes loads of picture - and share them on here, of course! :)

    Thanks for the welcome. :D She's being really good. Crate training is going really well helped by the fact she was kept in a puppy pen at her breeders I think. Potty training is going pretty well too given she had no concept at all. she even asked to go outside earlier :D

    she has just been given her first bath

    She was a bit unsure, but I think we gave her a good first experience, she did play in the water for a little bit :)
