    than me (she's hit CAPS LOCK for me already), but there is a slim chance that you can see my two here:

    [​IMG]

    I have Theakston, from working cocker spaniel stock, who will be 10 in February and then BrewDog (known as Brew), who will be twelve weeks old next week. As yellow Labs go, we reckon she's somewhere about gingerbread latte in shade, with just a smidgeon of eyeliner!! My husband's initial response was 'Yay! Another small blonde in the family!' - we have 3 daughters so he is a little outnumbered - but he isn't even discreet about adoring her already. Brew is the first Labrador I have had since the old family Lab we had when I was growing up, and I stumbled across this site whilst impatiently waiting to be able to collect her at 8 weeks. I have learnt so much from you all already, and thanks to Pippa, I have every intention of having a fabulously behaved dog who is properly proofed against all distractions... ;)That's the plan anyway. So far I have discovered that cheese is my secret weapon, although I know there will be plenty of reality checks coming my way.
    Looking forward to using these forums,
    Clare, Brew and Theakston

    Not another good looking spaniel and lab set! It's obviously the thing to have!

    Welcome, from me and Labrador Charlie! And Lyra, the spaniel I don't yet own, but will one day (once you've chosen the name, it's a done deal ;D).

    Lyra? I'm liking it. I can just see her now... and if Philip Pullman is your inspiration, there's a whole cast waiting to join her!

    Ours get named with a beer connection. My husband worries because obviously there's no chance of running out of breweries any time soon. ;)

    Hello and welcome from me and my four spaniels. I have a feeling I have started the spaniel trend on here. :D Hope you'll enjoy the forums. :)

    The calm before the storm! They're both gorgeous and they look like they're going to be the best of buddies. Enjoy.

    Julie, my spaniel follows me around so closely that my daughter reckoned he must be my daemon. And seeing as only servants have dogs as daemons, guess that means I have to accept my status and serve the kibble! :)

    Welcome from me and Obi!

    We have a great bottleshop near us that sells Brewdog beer. My hubby is a fan (I like beer too but Brewdog is pretty hardcore :) )

    Before she gets too much bigger, I need a line-up shot of her next to glasses of their finest... I think she's about the colour of the 5A.M. Saint, but I need to test it out to be sure!!!
