Hi and welcome to the forum from Rocky and I!

Congrats on the new addition!!! He is absolutely gorgeous, and the parents are stunning too!
Take a look around the forum, there is excellent info on everything from training to diet and toys. and if you need any help, feel free to ask away!

Looking forward to hearing more and seeing lots of  pics

P.s. to get photos from your phone onto the forum, you can download the photobucket app if you have a smart phone, and im pretty sure you can upload them to your account, then on your pc you can access photobucket, or you can transfer the photos from your phone to the pc by usb  hope that helps!

Hiya from me and Moo

Thanks maria. as for training he will be gping to training school so he can socialise also.

What I am stuck on now is a name.

Im tossing between,

blue (coz hes blue)
shadow
sooty
diesel
neo
tyson (but might be too chavvy)

probably wont decide until he develops his own little personality lol but im hoping he will tun out like his dad lol.

I am going to be feeding him on burns food. someone recommended this to me, does anyone have any bad info about it? Or is it a good choice?

No problem  Training school is excellent, taught us and Rocky so much.

All great name choices, I love sooty though! You will definitely know the right one when you get him and his own little personality comes through!

As for dry food, Burns is in the list of dry food recommendations the forum has, always best to try him on it and see how he goes, as every dog is different. Here is the list incase you wanted to have a look

Thanks again Maria and thanks everyone else for the welcome.

Also is it true that to bulk a staff out like his dad in pic #1 it is best to not get him neutured? the breeder said if i did this he would be more feminie and not get all muscley and bulk out lol?

There are many topics about neutering just do a search but generally size is down to parents and genes .

Early neutering can cause problems like you ask about because the growth plates aren't closed and produce a more leggy dog

Can I just ask if your dog has papers ?? Generally speaking it is widely known with Knowledgeable Breeders not to breed Blue on Blue because of promotion of skin problems such as Colour Dilution Alapecia , something we have to make you aware of

Hi guys yes he has papers. He is kc registered and got insurance now. He had his first jabs last Monday and is booked in on 15th October for 2nd lot, microchipping and kennel cough spray.

He's lush. Absolutely perfect lol. He's a little bugger mind but this was expected lol. Doesn't like training pads though.

The vets told me he had no brindle on him but on his back and tail I can see all brown bits of fur and it also feels not as soft as his grey fur. Is this brindle coming through?

Here he is with his new collar lol

Oh and his name is diesel

They will always have some brindle in them from their origins I believe , Blue is a dilute of Black n Brindle (There is no such thing as pure black ), it may only be the tiniest amount or it may come out more , no way of knowing until they mature

He is gorgeous!! Diesel is a fab name too!

Not too sure about the colouring coming through though, I'm sure someone more experienced will be able to help!

Well I took him out today for his first time and its not a gingery colour it's like little strands of white fur. Can't wait to take him for walks @ 12 weeks he had so much fuss made of him today And met another 2 dogs and 3 cats which one gave him a slap lol but yea he is absolutely gorgeous. So chuffed we have him. We thought it be a lot with the 3 week old baby as well but he loves the baby and all children and fitted in so well

Does anyone know when I can start giving him treats? He's in burns puppy food now chicken and rice and only drinks water. But would be nice to give him a proper treat when he goes on his pad or outside rather than his normal food. Weighed him earlier too and he's 9lb 8ounces and 7 weeks today lol little fatty he is.
