Greetings all from Co. Clare in the West of Ireland. I'm Ciaran, and together with my wife and our seven year old son we're expecting to take responsibility for our new puppy sometime over Christmas/New Year (An accident of timing, I assure you.). I/We have so many questions and queries that I reckoned it was better to make the introductions now and add photos of the bundle of fur when the time comes. Watch this space
Re: West of Ireland Introduction Hi Ciaran, welcome to you and your family! Hope you find loads of help on the forum. Good luck Jacqui and Lilly x (from East coast of Scotland)

Re: West of Ireland Introduction Hello from Willow, Shadow and us less-important humans here in Andorra. I can second getting the Happy Puppy Handbook. I read it twice before our little arrival and it's been a real help. Also, read as many of the articles on the main site (www.thelabradorsite.com) as you can. Loads of invaluable - not to mention free! - information on there.
Re: West of Ireland Introduction Welcome from Pongo and me in south Wales! Looking forward to meeting your bundle of joy...
