I was waiting for a puppy update and missed this. She is gorgeous. Are all the boys spoken for?

I think one boy is spoken for but I'm still looking for the other two. Have had a few enquiries but not quite the right homes. They will be lovely, drivey dogs I suspect! And they are all the biggest snugglers.

Sorry Megan :( If it's any consolation Ginny is penned separately from my two for about 90% of the time. Zig's not as excited about pup biting his feet as he used to be and I don't like Em and Ginny spending too much time together. They get supervised play time though which is hilarious.

We are having lots of fun together - several brief training sessions at home every day and some fun outings too!

Tugging and socialising at the hairdresser!

Tugging and exploring at one of my favourite retrieving training spots yesterday…

She even ventured into the FREEZING cold water…Em actually went swimming until her teeth were chattering.

We headed out to KCC Park, did some classical conditioning around the barking dogs and happened to meet up with another field-bred ESS puppy (from a breeder I know) so they had a really good rumble. Ginny was a little shy to start with but soon started to use her agile body to slam her bigger playmate into the ground. They played beautifully!

I now have TWO boys home with one of my pups being returned from what I thought was a perfect home when the new owners decided they couldn't give him what he needed. It was a very odd situation, particularly since Jim was the model puppy! On the up side I know what I did with these pups in terms of enrichment was spot on…noises don't phase them, nor does traffic, car travel, different surfaces etc. Ginny runs to grating in the footpath and walks across it purposely, runs up and down the trunks of fallen trees (whilst playing tug with the bark) and the pup in SA is apparently racing over all the "new" surfaces at puppy school like a pro. There just appears to be a shortage of committed owners out there at the moment.

We had some sunshine yesterday and the boys are venturing further afield in the back yard to chase it…

:( Bummer about Jim being returned ... although I guess it's better for him than being kept in a less than suitable situation .. and I guess it's good the people recognized their limitations sooner rather than later. Hopefully his 'meant to be' family will turn up soon. In the meantime, I guess Ginny's not too worried. More work for you though.

Yes exactly Tassie! So glad they brought him back but it makes it hard to trust your instinct about people after all the visits and phone calls! The boys make everything as easy as 2 puppies could - Ginny would like to hang out with them more but I keep her very busy!
