Thanks guys I guess it will be pondered over for a little while longer , thinking maybe towards the spring as the weather gets warmer and its easier to keep the door open to the garden for toilet training purposes. Hopefully by then Daisy will have had her first season and she will have been done and recovered , ready for a new play mate in the mean time if anyone knows of any family bred labs let me know. not looking for show standard or top pedigree just a nice labby babby .
