Q..Who Knew!!

For many years I have loved a particular coloured stafford and that is those that have either a full white face or a white head. After the passing of my beautiful Besa, I had plans to bring in a new pup and ached for another male. And then...I found one!

We would like to welcome Alangrove Qupids Arrow or Q as we call him. Q is a lovely puppy and a really good boy too. He has leanrt to sit on command, come when he is called and wait at the door or for his dinner. He is learning the heel position and also how to return to the heel position. And did I mention he is a gooooood puppy?
When he arrived, he slept with me the first night on a mattress in the lounge room. And we progressed night after night, moving him into his crate. Then into his crate with the door closed and finally outside with the big dogs.
Today, we went to the beach for the first time and it was a bad day to go. The wind was high and blowing up fairly sizeable waves (at least sizeable to a fourteen week old puppy!) I thought Q would be a little bit hesitant but no, he jumped right in, wasn't worried or scared and followed the big dogs like he had been swimming forever!


I'm looking forward to having him attend puppy school in two weeks time. A new adventure awaits us!

I was concerned about how well Nell would react to a pup and she was snarfy to start with. Now, they get on well mainly because he has really good puppy manners.

On an aside...Nell gained a Quali in her Snooker run this weekend. One more and it will be her title. She has also achieved enough to gain her her Gold Super Dog Medallion this year.

GO THE NOODLE!!!!
