Hayley - We had to give away our lab x retriever a month ago. He was a very very hyper dog....I mean he was a very active breed! We couldn’t walk out the back without him jumping all over us and licking us. We couldn’t take Rory out the back because he just didn’t understand that Rory wasn’t a play toy. Our 4 year old staffy couldn’t get a break either! It was our fault, we didn’t realise how much training a dog like that needed! And my being pg during his puppy stage didn’t help, I was so tired that I didn’t take him to training. Arghh to cut a long story short he is with a fantastic family with teenage kids, they take him to the beach & the park. They sent us some photo's and he looks like a brand new dog, it brought tears to my eyes!
Sooo what im trying to say is, make sure you pick a breed that suites you. Put a lot of work into the training. Continue to introduce Maddy and the puppy as much as you can, let them interact together and she will have a friend for life!!

Does everyone's Dr fill out bubs purple book??? Everytime I take Rory in for his Scheduled check ups the dr checks his heart, weight AND thats it. He just signs off the purple book. Is this right? Shouldnt he be checking Rory over thoroughly as shown in the book?
