Hello all, so we have - after a long time deliberating - added a new dog to the family! Gill (with a soft 'G'). He is now 10 weeks, chocolate brown, and an absolute handful. This site has been so helpful in reassuring us though, otherwise I think we would have been really worried about so many things! On the plus side he sleeps until 6am, which I know could have been a lot worse! And his house training seems to be almost there. We are still getting used to the non stop biting, and he seems to have a pattern where he goes crazy first thing and last thing (biting, growling, digging, chasing, running in circles, pulling up every plant and completely ignoring us/showing no affection at all). During the day, he can be a totally different dog, and happy to follow us around, sleep by our feet, experience our efforts at training him and so on - so fingers crossed with this. We will be using the forum a lot I think! But we just wanted to introduce ourselves and say hello.
Hi Ian, welcome to the forum! Gill sounds like he has all the hallmarks of a completely normal Labrador puppy
