Hi I am new to all this i have already put a message on but not sure if i have put in correct place so hence trying again.
We are having a girl puppy in March when she is 8 weeks it was difficult to pick her as she was only 2 weeks old, they are so popular we had to go this early and pay deposit . Good job as they have all sold at 4 weeks.
Any advice will be much appreciated cannot wait to bring her home.

Hi, agree with you, very hard to choose when they are that young - all you can do is pick the colour. But they are all lovely so you can't go far wrong

Where are you getting her and what colour is she?

Hi No we all cannot agree with names yet it seems to be between Mia, Ella, Millie, Roxi ? We welcome any suggestions I like a lot but when you have 3 males in the house they are fussy!! At least i got my way with a girl .

If you have a shortlist, probably best to wait until you get her and see which name "fits" her best. In my house, we argued so much that in the end we went for the only name that we could agree on!

Yeh we could nt agree ended up putting 4 in a hat and then still people weren't happy.Dont worry chose both of mine when they were days old, both for different reasons and worried like mad with Wilf that he would nt be what id been researching for for months, but all ended up well. Are you near enough to go and visit ?

Glad to see everyone else had a nightmare choosing a name. We argued like mad about what to call Alfie and we did the same put the names in a hat then I cheated and picked my choice out! lol. It doesn't take long and then you can't imagine them being called anything else! Bet you cant wait to bring your new addition home! x

I picked my Nell at 9 days old also, I just went for the darkest coloured girl as they all just looked like little hamsters when I visited haha, there was only three of them to chose from tho so it wasnt too hard, but im glad I picked her, as when I visted at 6 weeks old she was full of it, and friendly and the other two were gorgeous but didnt seem bothered in the slightest haha, just wanted to sleep.
this is from when I picked her.

and this is the pic the breeder sent when they were 2 days old

as for the name, my shortlist was about 15 names long, but Nell was one of my favorites and just seemed to fit when I saw her (even at hamster sized lol)
