Guess what I am getting my hands on on Monday :D

[D0oinMeCleanin]

A puppy!

A broken puppy described as "a handful" and "a bit bossy"

That's the best kind in my book.

Squeee!

Very excited. I need monday to come quickly.

[ClaimedByMe]

Aww, you do such great things for the dogs you take in, you will have the puppy sorted out in no time, do you know what kind of puppy you are getting ?

[RedwingWinter]

Yay! Exciting!

[gymmummy64]

Am so looking forward to the updates! Might have to check doghousenet mumsnet even more often

[D0oinMeCleanin]

A black and white pointy. For some reason that is all I ever seem to get

This one is a six month old saluki x.

[Scuttlebutter]

A saluki!!! OMG. I salute you. The Everest of pointy dog training. Good luck. Oh, and can we lots of pics please... mostly of a pointy blur disappearing over the horizon at Warp Factor 10....

[D0oinMeCleanin]

She doesn't look very Saluki like in her pics but she was sold to a man as pure bred Saluki (she's not)

Hopefully she is crossed with something biddable and clever like a lab knowing my luck she will be crossed with a staffy or something equally as hyper

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

Good luck. Lots and lots of good luck.

LittleDog was described as "a bit of a handful"
A bit?? A bit?

Is the puppy a short term foster or are you keeping him forever?

I'm just about to head out to puppy classes with LittleDog where he will spend 40 minutes pretending he has never been taught a command in his life, has no idea what recall is and trying to eat everyone else's treats.
As an encore he will probably try and run away.

I hope you get a nice, easy to train puppy but you won't

[D0oinMeCleanin]

Foster. She is already in a foster home with the rescue I work with but they can't cope with her

The lady who runs the rescue thinks I might be able to do something with her, she was handed to rescue a few weeks ago because of eviction and was very, very loved but had no training, at all, whatsoever.

[TantrumsAndBalloons]

Do you secretly think you might keep her?

No training at all? Wow that will be fun.

I bet you have her all sorted out in weeks.
