    hi
    I’m new to having a dog, however my other half is not, he has had labs before. We have chosen a fox red lab but she wont be ready till end of nov as she is only two weeks old, we went to see the pups and we loved the nature of the mum, and have read up on the stud and feedback from the owner. My other half said the pup found him as it keep licking him, she a good size too. Hopefully the pup will be ok, she was vocal and just starting to open her eyes.

    Hi and welcome from me and 4 year old fox red girl, Harley. Have you got a name for your pup yet?
    We live in Bristol. Whereabouts are you?

    Hi there and welcome to the forum!
    Exciting times ahead.
    I can really recommend the Happy Puppy Handbook by Pippa Mattinson...essential reading.

    There is a members map somewhere that shows you where we roughly are located but I'm not good at links on my phone. If nobody does it before I'm back on I can paste a link later.

    Welcome to you from Mags, Tatze, Mollie and Keir from Manchester UK :hi:

    Tatze is my pet dog, a black Lab and she's four years old. Tatze means 'paw' in German.

    Mollie is my fourth Guide Dog puppy, a black Lab who is twelve months old. Keir is my fifth Guide Dog puppy, a yellow Golden Retriever/Flatcoat cross and he's five months old.

    Hello and welcome from me and my big yellow boy Pongo in South Wales! Very exciting times. Have you chosen a name for your girl yet?

    I'd also recommend the Happy Puppy Handbook - I didn't know it existed til after I joined this forum, but I really wish I had found it and read it beforehand!

    Looking forward to hearing all about your adventures....
    Rosie

    Hi and welcome.

    I'm originally from the UK, now living between Andorra and Spain with my three Labs, Willow, Shadow and Luna, and our new little foster dog, Conchita.

    Hi I'm the UK but we live in the Moo zone. She owns Leicester. Moo is a senior lab with attitude. She allows me and Rory to share her domain.

    Hi, hello from me and Cassie, 18 months, and black as the ace of spades. We live on the Herefords/Powys border in the UK.

    So very exciting to be getting a puppy, this forum is such a wonderful thing, I've learnt so much that has enhanced my relationship with Cassie. It's somewhere to share both the tough times and the good times.

    Thank you so much for your welcome. I will be on here a lot as I am new to being a dog owner, my other half works away in the week so its me, the kids age 16, 13 and 3. I have a gate downstairs so i can separate the puppy from the living and dining area, as I wouldn’t want to leave them on their own togehther, my 3 year I am and talking about. My other half has had labradors before so he has more knowledge.

    I have tried to put a photo on here but the pixels are too large?
    She will be called Esme, just got to wait till she can come to her new home on the 29th nov, but it be the weekend after when we will collect her. I’m nervous and excited at the same time.

    How exciting...waiting for Esme to come home! Coco & me are from the Isle of Man - this is not in the UK - though we are part of the British Isles.
