Welcome to COL
Good luck in your search. I went to see a breeder friends puppies with NO INTENTION of having one!
But yep, I came away with ***** just had her over a week now.
Prepare your house for a crawling toddler in to EVERYTHING just before you take one home.
We also have 7 yr old black lab. (dog) so that influenced us in to getting a female rather than a dog.
After speaking to RSPCA, they said it be easier for *** to handle a female.
Lots of things to look into if it's your first ever dog. COLers are a great source of information and really friendly, I'm a newbie here.
Good luck with your research and let us know how you get on.
