Puppy!!!!!! Photos

oh my, what a gorgeous puppy! Have a great time with her

That's OK, it'll be a while before we get another one so I'm sure it wont mind ;o)

Oh I'm jealous. She's quite irresistible.
You could just name her Gorgeous since that's what everyone will call her

Oh she is a picture, i feel all broody again!

The Hobbit has just given me THAT LOOK! followed by back away form that computer!

what about Babe because she is one!

I am sorry if I offended you, but I see no end of socialization problems. So many people think socialization is staying with the litter protected from the outside world until past the age where puppies accept new things the bets. I have seen hundreds of questions where somebody just got a 3 month oldpuppy and it has all sorts of fear issues.

Many Breeders appreciate that socialisation is necessary. There are some out there that don't give a cr@p, of course, but by no means is that the norm for Breeders.

she is a poppet! i love seeing collie pups as my dylan was a hulking great 18 month old when i first saw him. (he didn't become mine until a few years later)

i have 12 week old lily (jrt) champing at the bit at home. 11 days and she can go out for walks! i've done the same, socialised with friends dogs and with friends and lots of car journeys. can't wait to show her the wonders of the beach and south downs though!

She is just gorgeous! Lucky you!
I love that age in a pup p.s i would much rather have a pup at 12 wks than 7 or 8 wks personally.

It seems to me the majority of breeders active on dog forums fail to appreciate the importance of the 6-12 week period.

I am not a breeder. And i appreciate that a lot of pups are better off leaving their mum at 8 wks, depending on breed and also what the dog will be doing ie working....but i really believe that a pup should never leave mum under 8 wks and for a pet pup their is no problem getting them as late as 12 wks or even longer if they have been socialised by the breeder.

That isn't the way I see it. I have seen several people on forums thinking that they can crate a pup for many hours of the day, the minute they get them home. That isn't exactly "socialisation" is it;-) It's most likely these dog owners that blame the breeders for lack of socialisation

Once my pups are 6 weeks, they are brought out of the whelping area (having already had little visits to the rest of the house from 4 weeks onwards) to live as part of the family. Only penned when not supervised. My pups leave me best part peepad trained, used to children, used to other dogs (not just my own but healthy, vaccinated family dogs that come visit), used to many visitors, t.v. noise, household appliance noise, car journeys, you name it, I've thought about it and the pups are ready to face the world. You can't judge your ideas as "the majority" when it's only one or two Breeders that let the rest of us down

i disagree with you,also the thread isnt about socialisation ;-) ;-)

Back to the topic..................;-)

She is absolutely Gorgeous

Shame on you for those piccys.......... I feel very broody now ;-)

For the bigger than toy breeds I would want a puppy at 6 weeks old ideally, but toy breeds should be nearer 12 weeks, nothing wrong with getting a toy breed at 12 weeks as long as the breeder has socilized the puppy, our Roodee is a perfect example of that, we picked him up at just over 11 weeks of age & he was & still is a very outgoing confident boy, typical of his breed(Cavalier).

My next puppy will also hopefully be 6 weeks old & the one after that will be 10 months(due to the Pet Passport rules), he will however be kept by his breeder, who will train & socialize him for me, until then.

I think your baby is stunning! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

It seems to me, you ALWAYS seem to assume to much

Couldn`t agree more, its funny how some seem to have such double standards...


P.S............ what a cutie , ;-)

Oh she is gorgeous. I love the name Fly for a collie
