Hiya!
I own a golden working cocker boy called Harvey. We picked him up on the 14th of December last year. The whole chaos of xmas and new year worked wonders for him as he got to meet loads of people gradually before the run up to xmas and was the host of the century come New Year when we had a party. The timings worked brilliantly for us, however I'm not sure how easy it'll be with children as well
As for small animals, I introduced Harvey to our bunny from day one, but did it very gradually and when he was in a calm state (if that exists with a working cocker
) We always supervised the two together. I'd personally do it when it's just you and Daisy in the house on your own as children can be a little excitable!
Can't wait to see the pics and I bet you're dead excited!!
She's adorable by the way!
