Getting to know the locals.

We are currently getting Luna used to the big outdoors, we want to socialise her with as many things early on, so that she's not a shy or aggressive dog when she is older. Luna is taking to it really well, she really has no fear and everything seems to be a friend to her. I wanted to upload some of the pics from todays walk so you could all see how she is getting along. We are really lucky to live in the country side, there is so much here for dogs to do, and she really seems happy with her surroundings.

12 weeks old...... The Big Outdoors.

Luna is growing fast, she is approaching 12 weeks old now and settling well into her new home. This breed of dog really seems suited to living in the country, we can hardly keep her in the house. I am annoyed i didnt have my camera on me at the time, as the other day there was a fox hunt outside my house. We took luna out to see all the Horses and Hounds and she did really well. With all the noise and people around i thought she would be shy but Luna is a really bold puppy and sees everything as a new friend. Now that all her jabs are in order we want to get Luna socialised with as many things as we can.


Mt Grandparents have a & year old Labrador called Molly so we take luna down to see her most days. They get on great together, although Luna can be a bit boisterous with Molly. Luna still has her sharp puppy teeth so it can really hurt if she gets carried away. This Wednesday our vets run a puppy class so it will be good to see how Luna gets along with all the other dogs. I would really like to take Luna to Training lessons, as she is doing great with her training so far. Although it is really expensive so i may just carry on with the training myself. 

Hope everyone is enjoying the blog.... I will do my best to keep it as up to date as i can.

10 weeks old!

Well we have had the pup for just over 10 weeks now, she had her last injection on Friday as well as being micro chipped. Her training is going really well, i am surprised how intelligent this breed is, at only 10 week she is able to sit, paw, lay down.... and come well ish. when we went to the vets he was just as surprised as we were at how fast she is growing. Luna has gained 3KG in the last three weeks. I think somehow she is going to be a rather large dog. As you can see from the pic Nella is beginning to find it difficult to hold Luna. Luna is becoming really energetic, keeping her indoors is not easy anymore, she's an inquisitive puppy which is good and i can not wait to get her out and about in a weeks time.
