They really are. I am going to have to make a concerted effort to stop ;)

A couple more updated photos of Finn/Flynn/Nameless below! I had a little cuteness overload and explosion at work.

4 weeks (and a bit)!

Oooooh, not many Laekenois around, that's very special. I know one old boy who wins the hearts of everyone he meets, he has the best temperament.

What about a Finnish boys name Anna? Like Henri, Karlo, Kai, Luukas, Lauri, Matti, Olli (according the the Finnish baby names website LOL)

I like Karlo... I've been looking a Finnish girls names for my to be lappie, found the perfect name the other day (and husband liked, which doesn't happen often) then googled the name + Finnish Lapphund and saw there was one in Australia closely related to breeder... grrrrrr....

Katie do you have your name picked? Are you going Japanese?

It doesn't matter, trust me. Halo's breeder has a Sohvi - and one of the puppies from Halo's litter was named Sohvi. If you like the name, go for it!

How far away is your pup to drive Lucious? Apologies if you have mentioned earlier.

We tossed up between the driving/flying thing too. In the end, we flew. The reason was it would be 8 hours in a car, trying to find suitable places that were safe to toilet and knowing what we know now, this would have been extremely stressful for Halo because she hates the car. Flying on the other hand was a one hour flight, though she did have to be there early and she threw up on the way to the airport, but our breeder was able to clean her up before checking her in, and she came off the flight in Adelaide and we had her 15 minutes after it landed. We were able to give her a drink at the airport before driving home, and it was a much shorter time and I believe relatively unstressful for her in comparison to how driving would have been.

I kind of like ironically un-Finnish names, although I do like Karlo! There's a Lappie at obedience called Kai (just in case you were wondering :heart:). I like a lot of 'old man' type names!

OH says he gets to choose this one's name anyway :heart: He has horrible taste, so I may end up calling it something else when he's not listening.

Part of the trouble is that I've had so many animals in my life that I'm running out of names :heart:

Hi, it is a 12 hour drive there and then same return. I got quoted $216 to fly him over though, so leaning towards flying. But im worried he will get sick or lost or something horrible! lol

:thumbsup: I was the same, I was so worried. But nothing happened, we had a FANTASTIC person in charge handling all of Halo's flights (Wayrod on here) and within no time we were giving her cuddles and taking her to her new home.

That is a considerable distance- Whisked Away I hadn't thought of the angle of pup getting car sick and safe spots to stop for toilet breaks, good point. Perhaps a quick flight is better. I would also worry about something horrible happening on flight, but so many people seem to fly dogs so must be ok.
