Ok...here's a couple of pics of the puppy I am going to see (probably this weekend): In the first pic he's the one at the bottom with his back to us, and the little spray of white fur just below his white collar.

DanaC · 01-23-2012, 08:03 AM

I think they're a little over 3 weeks old in those pics.

Apparently he's quite cheeky and has been attempting (almost successfully) to climb out of the whelping tray.

Picking up a new puppy, holding it close, and smelling it's puppy-breath
...one of the best experiences in life

DanaC · 01-23-2012, 08:46 AM

Ohhell yeah.

And that sweet, slightly burnt, sawdusty smell at the back of their ears :p

That stayed right through with Pil. Justbehind his ears, he smelt the same as when he was a pup.

That's sulphur coz all the cuteness is newly from the debbil.

hahaha. Must be :P

Am crossing fingers and toes. I'm already quite struck I think...

Dana's post about a puppy got me to thinking of the past 3 years with Vicky.

Now she is a full grown Lab (94 lb) that sleeps 23/24, but is ready to go all day long... if that's what we want to do.
If/when awake, she's full curiosity, lives for water and protects
our property from raccoons, squirrels and the ever-present invisible man.

Here she is a 7 weeks, 1-, 2-, and 3- years

Awwwwww.

Now there's a nose just abeggin to be kissed.

Sundae · 01-23-2012, 02:45 PM

Ah Dani, even I'm not immune.
'Ccepting I know how they grow up...

Lamp, what a lovely sleek dog.
I'm used to seeing fat Labs (sadly).
Any trouble with her hips? I've known a number of chocolate Labs with problems there.

Ha! I just realised I never responded to this :p

This is Carrot and Merlot's litter:

I checked out both parents lineages back a couple more generations on a site someone sent me. There are a couple of other Potterdales in the line, which i'm quite pleased about, as Pilau had some Potterdale in him. I think they share Potterdale Philospher, and another a few branches back.

I remember Potterdale and Snowmead as active and respected kennels when my mum was in the breed (yes, Lamplighter, Pilau was a Beardie, too).

Good point Sundae - Labs/Goldens are sadly notorious for hip displacement.

Is that the same as hip dysplasia?
