Oh she is gorgeous! I know of Di, and understand somewhat her feelings towards the KC assured breeders scheme, I wouldn't worry one jot about that. A Suedey girl, how lovely! So pleased you have a positive outcome.
How lovely! Well, I personally wouldn't worry about a contract of sale - I'd never try to enforce one in court so it's all about what the breeder is prepared to do if there is a problem anyway - but if you ever think you are going to need one, and you did say you pointed to a clause last time, then by all means ask for one. They don't need to be complicated and full of legal language. They can be straightforward and written in plain English. So you could easily draw one up if you feel you need one. They tend to start biting when they are a bit older! Not biting now is no guarantee that you won't be ripped to bits when you get one home. Just be prepared for that - if you are thinking you've found a 'non biting' litter of Labrador puppies you are probably sadly mistaken! Healthy, normal Labrador puppies bite humans for the first few weeks. A very rare few don't, but that's not normal!
Hi Julie...no I am well aware she will bite...not expecting a total not biter!! But Sammy didn't seem able to interact in anyway except biting... She didn't sniff or lick, she just constantly bit. Where as this puppy seemed to sniff and lick and explore in other ways too.
This is normal though. Betsy was 5 months old before I could pat her without incurring fresh wounds....
I'm glad it went so well. I'd second Julie in saying that you may well (probably will) have the same biting issues with this pup down the line, and in itself it isn't a sign of anything wrong with the pup. Just enjoy the not biting while it lasts! Di (of Wylanbriar) isn't the breeder, is she? Just the owner of the stud?
Absolutely! Mollie is the least bitey of my five - but she still does it! My most bitey pup was my first - Tatze, she's still all mouth when she greets us but has leaned to pick up a toy. About ten weeks old is when the full crocapup emerges, and it's totally normal ...
