    Well in 7 weeks time I will be bringing home my new B. She is going to be called Belle aka Mutabaruga Inner Circle at Gooses. All I have to do is pick one as I have got pick of the bitches! My only problem is that she had 2 R/W & 2 Brindle bitches and if I like one of each colour which do i go for. I have never had a brindle so in some ways it would be nice but they are not so popular in the show ring in the UK so I don't know hmmm. I think I will just have to wait until I see them till I decide. I just know that the next 7 weeks are going to drag.:(

    How exciting!!! Congrats!! They are all beautiful pups, I can't imagine how hard it would be to choose. I just went and looked at the pups on Noel's site, hard choice, I don't think I would be able to choose. When do you go to meet them?

    I haven't decided yet when I will go down to see them. They are all lovely puppies which is going to make it hard to decide!

    They are all so cute. My favorite is the little brindle girl with the little white stripe. She is so cute! Congrats and good luck picking just one!

    Cara was big at 16 weeks but I don't remember how big. If the ribs and backbone are slightly visible, weight is okay…too visible, too thin, cant' really see at all, getting up there. Builds are different, so the first and only evaluation is=== how does YOUR dog look. Cara is almost 5 and about 43 pounds, btw. She probably needs to lose a couple of pounds tops.

    In your position, where you really have to take her out a lot, I understand. And I hope her comfort continues. My point was it is situational need, not dog need to be that social. :) I have a slim chance of that having worked with my current 2, but with my incredibly dog aggressive first one, I'd have been out in a basket muzzle and warning everyone to keep their dogs away.

    Good luck on getting a picture when she is still, if she is anything like our 2 she won't be still very muvh. Our Bitty does this thing, when she comes up on the bed at bedtime she will flop down facing directly away from us and then bend her head back mover her shoulder to look at us.

    @agilebasenji: mmmmm . . . curly tail soup. (that's what I threaten my kidz with. They all take it so seriously - NOT) Okay, upon further reading, I think that they are suggesting putting PAM on the dogs' paws before walking out in cold weather/salty sidewalks. I have heard this advice. Don't know if it works as when the weather is that bad, we're not out very long. Okay, I suppose that makes some sort of sense, but even down here in Florida, they sell booties for dogs - really cute ones actually, and some that are very light and disposable. I would imagine in cold weather areas they are even more readily available and would make more sense than pputting anything on their feet that could then get tracked into the house and all over the floor.

    Our rescue now adopted Kell was 16.01 when we got him at 4 mos, now at 6 mos he is 29 lbs!!! But he is taller than all our other Bs, he is so active there is very little fat on him. He was on the thin side when he first got here and ate almost constantly for 2 weeks. Now he gets a small breakfast and a normal supper with the rest of the pack. We bred our own Bs in years past, and they do tend to tighten up after a year. As a pup, I am not going to put him on a "diet" at this time. As long as she is healthy, eats well, I do not think I would worry about it. Our 5 year old girl only recently went over 20 lbs, and we changed their dog food and all the adults have lost weight and look and feel much better I do believe. Enjoy!
