What a lovely puppy. Was he born on 16 Feb? We are getting a puppy from Gordon too! Ours is black, haven't seen him yet though. Picking him up on 13 April! Maybe you have seen him, we are calling him Alfie. We have one picture and wish we had more. Are you going back before you collect your pup? We are up in Inverness so can only really make the 3.5 hr journey once, hope Alfie is a good traveller! I would be really interested to know if you have seen our pup and what info you have on the parents and what you saw feel free to PM me if you like.

Hi

Yes, very excited! We are calling him Alfie. Is the pup you are getting from the same litter? What do you know about the litter? I know the mum is a working dog and was a litter of 6 but that's it. Would love to know more!

I don't know about eye testing, I would assume not though from what I have heard. He doesn't give them their first vacc's either, so will start from scratch. Already got the vets booked.

Regarding BVA as far as I'm aware at least one parent is clear.

Never had a cross breed pup like this before so really appreciate your comments and advice, I certainly wouldn't be against any other thoughts

Hi Kristy

Just spent 10 mins replying to you and when I submitted the message it got rejected as I haven't made 10 posts!! I can reply by email if you PM your email address. I understand if you would rather not though.

I am going to check again with the breeder and ask for papers if he says they have been tested. If they haven't I will still take the puppy and have him tested myself. I would rather give him a living home than not take him.

My new pup!

Hi Mr G

Sorry for the late reply. We have picked up Alfie on saturday he is perfect, we had him at the vet yesterday and the vet said he is 100 percent healthy at the moment. The anatomy of his eyes looks good although that means nothing regarding PRA. he is settling in very well I'm very happy although I think I need to buy him a clock to tell him went to get up!

I'm very upset and annoyed at some of the comments written regarding Gordon, he has been nothing but helpful, truthful and professional. On meeting him, his dogs are happy healthy and very social. He is very passionate about his dogs and the work he does. he spent a good hour with us answering our questions and giving us advice, he gave us plenty of food and information about alfie and his parents. His dogs ARE tested but only after finding out about the bad mouthing on this forum. He does not need to do this and has only done it to clear his reputation which has now been called into question on here.

I would highly recommend Gordon and his dogs, however if you decide not to go ahead and collect your puppy, which I have seen and they are very happy and healthy looking maybe Mandy could sell you a dog as I believe she is a breeder be prepared to pay more!

Sadly, I won't be using this forum anymore, which is a shame as it would have been a good source of help and advice from some clearly knowledgeable people. I just do not want to be part of thread that bad mouths an individual and soils a good reputation.

Thank you Karen

We are still waiting for the results of the tests at the moment. Fingers crossed for good results. I appreciate what you are saying but I still feel some things did not need to be said. Any how like you said the good thing is that they have been tested.
