We picked our puppy today!

[DueyCheatemAndHow]

After so so many years of waiting and a long time on a breeder's waiting list, we visited the puppies today. We were absolutely certain that we would go for a little black girl but I really felt a bond with another one so I had MN in my head and we went with her.

I can't believe it!

How exciting. They tend to pick you. Look forward to a photo and more news.

That's so lovely. Obviously though we need pictures...

Oooh Labrador? Pics please 🥰

Fantastic, now get the book Easy, Peazy Puppy Squeezy! Has everything puppy for the firsr few months.

I don't believe you. I need to see evidence

Not a very good one I'm afraid but here she is having some milk.

She's a standard poodle.

Got the book! Started reading a couple of weeks ago. I'm scared I won't remember everything.

Aww, when do you pick her up?

Oh yay! I have a Standard Poodle, they are just the best dogs ever.

Standard Poodles are the best, always had them.

Eek! August BH weekend. Any name suggestions!?

Love poodles. Very smart dogs.

How about Audrey? Another gorgeous brunette.

beautiful puppy - enjoy every second of her.

Absolutely adorable! Lovely shiny coat.
Ebony, Star, Millie,

Polly Poodle
Penny Poodle
Poppy Poodle
Pippa Poodle

Recommend one of those cuddly heartbeat sheep toys for when you bring her home.

Primrose?

Gorgeous, I had Standard Poodles for years, then over the past 9-years Toy Poodles. We still have two Toys, recently joined by our lovely Weimaraptor, sorry Weimaraner Puppy. She is 14 weeks old tomorrow (the biting and mouthing is a nightmare, but we love her).

When your puppy arrives and is biting lumps out of you, do join us on the Puppy Survival thread 😂🤣

Has to be Augustine.

I'm changing my vote to Augustine!

Gorgeous! BTW I'd book for her initial groom now as groomers have such long waiting lists since the pandemic (unless you are less clumsy than me and planning to do it yourself).

That's a really good tip. One close to us has recently closed and FB is full of people desperate to find a new one.

I love the name Aster.

Thanks so much for all the advice and suggestions!

We've decided to call her Coco, with her full name being Coco Chanel. I'm so excited. Slash terrified.

Coco is beautiful and suits her !!

Such a lovely name

She looks like a Nellie :)

Lovely name 😍 Could she have a fading gene? Our cocoa coloured dog has ended up latte! Still a lovely name however she turns out.
