I've only been on the forum for a short time but realised after seeing a posting complaining that folk weren't introducing themselves that I was one of the miscreants! My apologies!
I am Ann from Devon, in a little village just north of Plymouth, and on August Bank Holiday Monday became the proud owner of Polly, who will be 7 months old on the 19th January. Time flies! She is white with a few very faint apricot markings on her face and back. Her mother was an orange roan cocker and dad an apricot min poodle and I got her from a hobby breeder in Taunton - I have found one of her brothers on the forum, which is wonderful.
She has a strong liking for mud so as we live in a village on the banks of the River Tavy and also have a pond in the garden this is not good news! A long white coat and mud... Ugh!
One of her favourite occupations is chasing leaves on a windy day! My son likened taking her for a walk in such conditions as flying a kite!
She is delightful and for some reason takes notice most of the time of what I tell her to do, but completely ignores by husband's commands... and my son's! Gather from a friend this is not uncommon! I have had dogs for most of my life since 1961 but have had a gap of 9 years so having a puppy again came as an interesting shock! A torn calf muscle in November didn't help! Not due to her, I hasten to add! Playing table tennis. But am back to walking her again and trying to undo the bad habits she's got into with husband and son! Oh dear!
I think I will have to take her to have a, hopefully, not too drastic hair cut soon. Might alleviate the mud problems as well!
Think that's enough for now! I've already posted some comments to other threads and some photos. One is below.
