New Dog!

Post by labradors » Tue Jul 05, 2022 1:55 pm

Introducing Poppy. She's a 7 month old fox-red Labrador Retriever who we think is labradorable :). She gets along well with our older girl, Chloe.

Thanks to Ontario Chick for helping me to make the decision to get a puppy!

She's surprisingly calm for a puppy, but it's early days yet and they say it takes at least 3 weeks for them to really settle in. We've only had her for two days, so she could be lulling us into a false sense of security!

:lol:
Based on my experience of taking in older dogs, we used to call it the "honeymoon period" of about 2-3 weeks, when the dog is somewhat quiet, reading the situation and observing who is in charge, who can be bamboozled in to extra treats, and whos' "commands" are really only a suggestion ...to be followed only when convenient ;)

I know you are an experienced dog owner, we will need more pics and updates, how "your" training is going ;)

My Hubby would be "follow when convenient" and "give treats"

Fox red lab is what I grew up with. Watch the Christmas tree ornaments and that tail.
