Congratulations! She is truly lovely!

Thanks! I have great hopes for her!

That is one handsome puppy - here's to her having the brains as well.

Her grandfather is a breed Champion, Junior Hunter, and Obedience Trial Champion 9 times over. Her sire has a lot of Swedish breed and field titles as well as a Senior Hunter here in the states. She has a really good legacy!

Awwww, so cute! ::cuddles her:: I'm sure you and she will have lots of fun together. Can't wait to hear how she does! How soon will you start working her for flyball, rally, etc?

[zubiemom.livejournal.com]

We'll start the basics of obedience here at home right away; by the time she's had enough vaccinations to go out and about, she should have a clue about Come, Sit, Down, and leash walking. She'll start formal classes at about 6 months. Flyball will start at about a year; she won't be playing until at least 18 months, since I don't want her slamming into the box until her growth plates are closed.

Her breeder wants to show her in breed and get at least a JH on her, so I'll let her do those. She may start her training for those in the next few months. I'll just be driving her to the breeder for that.

Awwww!!! So cute!

[zubiemom.livejournal.com]

She's already comfortable enough here to start being bratty. This is going to be a fun ride!

Thanks! I agree, although I admit I'm just a bit biased. :-)

Thanks! Have you ever thought of getting the SBD a sister? Giddy and Kaylee have already taken to napping together.

SQUEEEEEE!!!!!

She's -adorable!!- Cannot wait to hear of her antics as she grows up!

[zubiemom.livejournal.com]

I'm sure there will be an abundance of antics. Right now she's having a viscious tug of war with my left sleeve. I know you understand the joys og\f a Retriever puppy!

Hey, what are you doing with my puppy...give her back!

[zubiemom.livejournal.com]

You'll have to pry her away from us - she already has her little paws wrapped around our hearts!

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

She's so sweet; I love her! Congratulations sweetpea! *hugs*

She's actually a little terror - but that's typical for a puppy. She's trying to learn the rules of civilized living, but she has a long way to go!

[anelith.livejournal.com]

So sweet! Congratulations on your new baby!

[zubiemom.livejournal.com]

Thanks! She is a cutie!

She's pretty smart too! First night she did NOT accept being crated at bedtime, and screamed her outrage for 45 minutes. Last night I opened the crate door and said "kennel up"; she walked in on her own, grumbled a few minutes (but no screaming), and went to sleep. She's figuring out where she's supposed to potty too. We're in love!
