new puppy

[brim]

Hi
I can't wait until our new puppy is old enough to come home. He is a balck and tan male a chunky little lad from a litter of seven pups. It was love at first sight. We visit him often and he seems very laid back. He will be ten weeks old when we collect him I hope that's not too old!

Hi welcome to COL

It's very exciting getting a new puppy! I have a 19 week old gold boy call Barney. I also have Sapphi (black lab) and Max (golden ret)

Is there a reason for getting him at 10 weeks old? The norm is 8 weeks old to bring a pup home.

I wish you look with him, and remember to post loads of pics!

hey blackandtan, I just got Rolo a week or so ago and he is a black and tan male and a very big boy. I got him when he was 9weeks and I see no downside to this. He was from a litter of 8. Oh and can someone tell me if a white chest is rare ?

Hi
Rolo looks lovely. My pup Brim has a white patch on his chest too. I'll work out how to put a photo on and show him to you.

White chests aren't rare - if the area is quite big, it usually indicates there is mixed solid & particolour breeding in the lines.
