Today we drove about 90 minutes away to pick out our new puppy. The owner had 8 puppies to choose from, 4 boys and 4 girls. I told her we wanted a boy, one that was out going as I would like to do obedience and agility with it.
We picked out Green Collar puppy. That's how breeders keep track of each puppy, each one has it's own color collar. So if you are picking one out on-line you can request it by the color of its collar.
The boys and I picked out a friendly male Standard Poodle. He is 7 1/2 weeks old.
The boys wanted to call him Sandy, so I got out voted but I like the name and can certainly live with it but I wanted the name Marley.
We drove home. Sandy got car sick a couple of times. On the way home I stopped at the farm store and picked up a 5-way puppy shot. I plan to mail order the rest of the booster shots and his kennel cough vaccine.
When we got home he explored the yard, played with the boys, went potty outside, ate, slept, played, went potty outside, ate, slept - you get the idea. No accidents in the house as yet. We are crate training, so right now he's fast asleep in his crate.
