The Dogmother Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 it's all revving up now Lesley! I wish I'd known that you wanted a new puppy cage; I have one going spare I was going to car boot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 Too late now - it's here! I never thought to say. I bought two extra panels as well - we have one dog that matches my long black skirt and will have one that matches the kitchen floor tiles and I refuse to have both of them under my feet!! I have one panel fixed to either side of the central unit. I'm forever tripping over Jazz and I'll be happier that they're both the other side of the room. We took Jazz for her annual check-up today and Tali is already booked in for her free Puppy Check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm set up now, thanks. There are plenty of 'puppy owners to be' on here at the moment.......wasn't one of them near to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Aww she is gorgeous, so squishy & squashy. Lots of photos please Lesley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 I've had lots more photos today - had to look at them via dial-up but it was worth the wait Guess which one is in the bowl?? - we could have a very different dog to Jazz here.......Jazz is not a greedy Labrador and even leaves food in her bowl! Jazz is having a whale of a time, playing in the sea all day. We've been using the new spray collar and reinforcing her good behaviour. Carl chose the cooked breakfast in the hotel on Friday which included 2 very cheap sausages - great!!!!! they chopped up to make a hundred or so tiny treats for training Jazz Her recall is much better now, we can even call her out of the sea and when she is busy 'killing' seaweed!!......the big test will be this morning when we see my Mum...........we'll be using the collar to stop Jazz jumping up........I have to crack this one before Tali comes to join us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I love the photo Lesley. I think you might be right about Tali being a slightly greedy dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 What great photos . The others aren't getting a look in, are they . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Gorgeous! On the bright side, a greedy dog is far easier to train I have very fond memories of our old Goldie who would do absolutely anything you asked if he so much as suspected you might have anything remotely edible about your person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 That's very true! - we have found training Jazz difficult at times as she's not always food led - she will work for high value treats..........if she feels like it The personalities are emerging now - Tali is very friendly and is often first to greet new people - I wonder if we're going to have another 'top dog' from the litter.......Jazz was 'topdog' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Lovely photos Lesley, we'll have to come over when we're back from hols. Glad that the training is working, I'm currently re-doing the jumping up thing with Ruby as she's started to do it again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 What a little cutie, she's going to cost you a fortune to feed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 That picture is so sweet... I love puppies' little tails... I hope our puppy will like food, cause I'll be at a loss what to do for training if treats are not interresting enough to him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Try using what I call Puppy Crack (Ruby isn't food orientated either) I buy those ghastly Herta frankfurters and keep them in the freezer, then dice them up into cubes of about 5mm and do the same with cheap plastic cheese - she'll do anything for them! Any Irish setters I have met have been greedy opportunists... sort of honorary lurchers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 We went to see the puppies on Sunday and took Lauren and Jake with us. Jake "Puppy Magnet" - Tali is in the crook of his arm.... A sight we never saw with Jazz - Lauren was so terrified of dogs that she spent weeks moving around the room on the back of the furniture as she was scared of a 7 week old puppy......Lauren with Tali......

Chook n Boo Mum Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Gorgeous, and very heartwarming to see Lauren with Tali given her fear of Jazz......I do love to see youngsters with young animals especially in this electronic world Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 21, 2009 Author Share Posted October 21, 2009 I know!! We didn't see the puppies for two weeks as we were away for a week - lots of little characters emerged. We did have photos sent to us while we were away but it was still a surprise to see how they'd grown! (not as big a surprise as coming home to 6 almost fully grown ducks ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Oh Lesley! They have grown so much...........but they still have lovely little rubber tummies to tickle . Absolutely adorable! I have serious puppy broodiness now . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Can't wait to see her Lesley. I clearly remember Lauren being scared. Rosie will be in her element; she adores puppies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
