They will try again on her next season. Pity I haven't the $ to import one, as a litter of 12 were just born in the US yesterday!

Briard is the other breed I would love, although breeders apparently are having issues having litters ATM !

Miss Squish sorry about your pup :(

Similar things happened before I got my boy too.

Bergamascos and Briards are both magnificent dogs! Wish you best of luck trying to find a pup.

I didn't even realise there were Bergamascos in Australia!

Sorry Miss Squish!

We didn't get on last year's litter either, but this year timing is better :)

Some things happen for a reason, and perhaps the puppy you'll eventually get is the perfect one <3

Ahhh the waiting game... exciting and stressfull at the same time :(

I am waiting (not so patiently :laugh: ) on puppy news myself... They will be born next week, but won't know for another 7 weeks whether 1 of the bundle of joy is mine :crazy:

I guess this counts as waiting for a pup...! A couple of months ago I posted in the general discussion forum about adopting a greyhound once my partner and I moved to Bendigo.

WELL, as the universe would have it, I decided not to limit myself by breed and started checking out some rescue organisations in the local area, and I fell in love with the most gorgeous looking Bull Arab pup, who's between eight months to a year old. He has the most thoughtful eyes and is apparently a big loveable goofball, which is exactly what I was after. I kept my eye on him as the time grew nearer for us to adopt, and they kept updating the facebook page with more photos of him, and of course I fell further in love!

He got adopted by a couple with another dog at the end of March, and I was happy to see him off to a good home (if not a little disappointed). But he was back in care within two weeks, their other dog had hip dysplasia and when the two dogs played it was almost like WWE Wrestling! So as much as they liked him they just couldnt risk further injury to their current dog, so they returned the pup.

And thats when I knew. Something in me just said yes, it has to happen now. My partner and I started to plan, and think about how life would be with this dog in our lives. I contacted the organisation at the beginning of this week and had a LONG chat to one of the girls who runs it, and we are meeting the pup tomorrow :D

SO EXCITING! I'm off work sick today with a cold so I can hardly wait, I'm going to get everything prepared tonight because everything going well we're going to be bringing home our new member of the family tomorrow. I've had a long history with dogs, worked with greyhounds, staffies and my dad bred boxers many moons ago, and I miss the relationship we as humans have with them.

Poppy the greyhound was my heart dog, I used to run home from high school to my trainers place and she would be so excited to see me. I'd let myself into her pen, climb into her bed, she would climb in after me and rest her head on my lap. I dont suppose she ever knew how much she helped me back then, and I dont think I knew either, but she did. Sometimes I would cry, but she loved me without judgement. My mental health hasnt been the best lately, this is partly the reason why I'm looking forward to getting a dog, so I'm probably going to cry tomorrow!

Sorry for the thesis :p I promise to post an update tomorrow!

Thanks! He's a big boy, still thinks he's a lap dog and has been known to bring people teddies :laugh: so that'll be interesting! He's great off lead apparently with excellent recall, not so great on it though, so I'm looking forward to getting some training started with him. We have a big open plan kitchen/living area so it'll be easy to start off inside.

Been a while since I've had to do any of this!
