Thanks lads ! Still biggrin

He was the last to be born and came out backwards hehe he was a proper snuggler when we looked at all the pups and was the one who came up to my wife first - the other pups were more interested in playing with each other. I know you're not supposed to pick the first pup but my wife fell in love with him so...how can you say no at that point ?

He's the one on the left with the black collar



Going to get my grandkids involved in puppy training so they know they have responsibilities towards the pup and he's not just a toy to play with. I think it will esp help my oldest grandson who has ADHD and part of those traits are that he likes very much to be in 'control'. Hopefully we can channel that tendency into a positive thing and that he'll take on the role with gusto.

Very happy indeed...We're off to the pet store to get all the paraphenalia today !

What's everyone's thoughts on insurance.

I'm on one of the comparison websites and must admit I'm confused about the different options (Accident only, Time Limited, Max Benefit, Lifetime).

The WHV seems to be a pretty healthy breed with not many known issues, but what does everyone else do in regards to insuring a new puppy ?

What I love about them as a breed is they're just loving life !

We live right by Chew Lake near Bristol...Got loads of plans for him. Flyball looks like a LOT of fun, plus agility training and also there's loads of shoots round here which I think I'd like to eventually get him involved in...fun times ahead smile

I've been up since 4:30 this morning, so far it's been great. One small accident in the kitchen where I misread the signs (he was circling) and we've already got 'Sit' pretty good now. He's like a little sponge, eager to learn.

When he gets over-excited though he gets all sharky and starts biting - got a great big hole in my dressing gown now where he latched on and wouldn't let go hehe
However I just walk away or ignore him when he starts on that behaviour and he's getting the hint now - day 2 and I'm loving this !

When we moved and registered him with the local vet we were asked his breed. When we responded 'Vizsla x Dobe' the vet laughed, and said 'I bet he's, errr.... fun!'
I bet he needs LOTS of mental stimulation !
