Hi, Socialization was one of my worries and I wanted to get it right, get your friends over and have them wear hats and bags and anything and everything at different times, what we did at home was just getting the household socialization such as umbrellas, pots, rubbish bins etc started and if you have friends with vaccinated and friendly dogs get them around. There is a lot of socialization you can do before your pup is fully vaccinated at home, rubbish day is a good day for standing at the gate watching the big noisy trucks go by, picking up the bins and banging them down, watching the mower, hearing the motorbike being started. Just remember let your pup take it's time don't force it when it is uncomfortable. Our 6 month old boy is doing great and is quite a confident fella. At 14 weeks we did puppy class for 7 weeks and only started going to a dog park at 4 months and he automatically knew how to be a dog when he was with the other dogs. Good luck.
7 weeks and counting

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!

congrats on your "pending" new puppy…. I am sure that your breeder will help you make the right choice when you get there.... I just look at her website also, lovely pups....

Well we are going down to pick out our new puppy on the weekend of the 9/10th February because I need to choose before everyone else goes to choose as I have pick of the bitches. I am so excited about this new puppy!!

How's the count down coming?
I'm going down on the first, not to pick one, lol, just to visit.

Only 3 1/2 weeks till we go and pick one. I hate the waiting:(

I know how you feel, I was the same way for Tiggy, heck I'm not even getting a pup and I'm excited to go see them, they are just so cute. I'll take pictures for you

Thank you.:D

So you´re also getting a new pup to choose the right one is so difficult it took my friend and I a week almost before we were able to decide which one we wanted on the 25 th i´ll go and pick her up.
I wish you all the best in making that important choice:) -
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!

I will be there this time in 3 weeks picking my girl.:D
The light brindle is still my fav though.
