Isn't 6 weeks a bit too young to leave the mother? Thought it should be 8 weeks. It can make a big difference as they have a lot to learn from mum.

Looks lovely Ant, well done. Interesting to see you bounced back from losing your dog that quickly. We had one of ours, Belle the Otterhound, put down over the weekend and buried her yesterday. Harrowing stuff.

Pics are always good.

Not trying to be an old woman, well not this time

but when you take the pics., can you get down to the same level rather than from on top? They're so much nicer that way. IMO

TBH with you I hadnt really "bounced back" all that quickly. I still miss both of my previuos dogs and its still quite painful to think of the fact that there not here anymore

To say I cried like a a little lost baby would be an understatement.

Anyway I've always had dogs, got my first when I was 6 months old so any memory I have has a dog involved. before Sky we had 2 dogs, duke and cassie, we lost Duke about 18 months previous to losing Cassie. (In a strange twist of fate Sky turned up at our house 2 years to the day after we lost Duke, so kind of seemed like fate!)
The house was too empty without any dogs in it, the silence made the house seem unwelcoming and unnearving, to the point where I though I was gonna have to move out. Luckily we found Sky and I can honestly say I think it was one of the best decisions we made, shes bundles of fun and very very clever, she knows exactly how to act and what kind of mood I'm in etc.

To Dunk, just to let your sister know, these dogs are very clever, you can see them thinking about how they're going to play you up next!! but thats most of the fun, she'll love it!!
