Will definitely take piccys! She's powered down for an afternoon nap now - I felt terrible earlier, she was whining for attention then a big bark came out, I told her NO and then she circled round for half a pee on the carpet before I could open the back door - poor little thing was just...

Hi everyone! Thought I'd update, lil Poppy is not so little anymore, she had 10week jab on saturday and is 10.2kgs already! She's learning quite a bit, we are closing crate at night with her paper and water in and she has been completely dry, straight outside in the morning for 1 and 2s...

Aw thanks for the reply, I think I am rushing a bit maybe, I'm just so excited to have her around I really need to remember how little she is. In the last hour she's learnt to bark, it just came out, I think even she was surprised, god help us for tonight! Breeder seemed happy with crate open...

Haha, I will see how she is in water after her jabs!! We had our first trip to the vets today, she was a little whiney in the car there, but she got so much cooing from the nurses she was on top form when we were waiting. She really didn't like the slippery vet table but she was transfixed...

Well we've had a bbq and chilled out in the garden (chasing her around trying to get her to sit under an umbrella was ridiculous, I'm sure my dogternal instincts will calm down soon). She crashed out on the cool sofa so picture of the little munchkin out for the count...

Ok, here's the first few!

We have our new addition! Our Poppy was the perfect traveller, she lay next to and on me for the whole 4 hour journey (traffic), didn't whine once, we stopped at services halfway, she had a little water, no toilet and waited until 30seconds after she hit out of the car onto the driveway, never...

Thanks for such a complete reply! Yes, really glad cropping is illegal, hate that severe look, they are such softies really. Will definitely be taking her out on the patio, I guess neighbour was more worried about the grass and foxes, but I will speak to breeder (trying to limit the stupid...

Oh one more before I forget! My next door neighbour mentioned not letting her run around in the back garden until her jabs in case she catches something like parvo- is this a legitimate concern, shall I keep her inside until after her 10weeks? Or am I now becoming a neurotic new puppy mum...

Hi all, a quick update, we pick up Poppy on Saturday! Ridiculously excited but have three questions that I would love your opinion on: 1. I've read a lot on giving puppy her first home bath as soon as we get back from picking her up, I am not totally convinced, as it is going to be after a 3...

Thank you all, so welcoming and helpful! Our breeder has a fabric sided crate she's giving us, so we'll use that I think. Pictures below, when we went to meet her I was overrun with 8 dobe pups, its the best antidepressant you can get! Bliss.

Hi all, We have a beautiful female Doberman puppy starting her new life with us in two weeks (and counting!). She will be 8 weeks and myself and hubby are doing are due diligence and trying to get as much advice from all sources as we can. There are a couple of questions that we'd appreciate...
