bedazzledx2 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 How exciting!!! I got Brookie at 9 month of age and it was a wonderful connection right from the start. I will write a little story here for those not on FB.There is a golden retriever who is 7 months old ( Golden Rules' Paddys brother) looking for a new home and we are going to meet him on saturday. We were going to get a pup later in the year but after hearing that this dog needs a home we feel we should give him a chance and Chance is his name. He sounds very smart and sweet and easy to train So if all goes well we will be taking him home with us on saturday evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mason_Gibbs Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 We are excited but also unsure what to expect as i have always had dogs from small pups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I got Lewis at 8 months and within hours he was following me happily around within two days he was MY dog. He still is and I could possibly say - but not too loud- that he and I are closer than Rommi and I, whom I have had since 8 weeks. The difference is the personality. She is happy to sit next to you, he wants to get inside your skin! Good luck and fingers crossed it all goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Thanks guys Just feeling a bit sorry for myself.....haven't dared tell OH as she was having a weep about Frida the other day, and that was without realising the dates Also Indy was at the vets today, she's been coughing for a while which we put down to hairballs....turns out she's got a bronchial infection - how bad do we feel about that as well!

Awwww hope all goes well for you My cocker was the only one I had from a pup, even then he was 15 wks when we got him The others were all adult rescues and all of them bonded with us and the other dogs really quickly and well - for the most part :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RubyStar Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 We are excited but also unsure what to expect as i have always had dogs from small pups. I got Millie as what we were told was a 2 year old and it all worked out She's excelling in her training, more so in some areas than Ruby. Good on you maybe giving him a home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason_Gibbs Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Chance is home but we are having some teething problems and it does not help that OH is not patient with him at all. He seems to be trying to dominate Mason and he does not know how to play nicely as he has never been socialized. He is crying when he cannot see one of us humans - he is like a real baby even though he is 7 months old. He also steals stuff off counters when I al trying to cook etc!! Very stubborn too, if you pull his collar he just sits down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have quite a project ahead of you Mason........Just remember to be consistent and firm, and give them time out from each other and time by themselves with you guys....I reckon the first week or two will be the hardest...
