Today my husband, our 2 boys and I have been to choose a puppy from a litter of 'Golden Boxers' (which I believe is a registered breed in the US?? Although it isn't here in the UK) - mum is a Golden Retriever and dad is a Boxer. There were 6 puppies in total but we had just 2 to choose from as we specifically wanted a girl with a white face....this didn't make our decision any easier though! I just couldn't decide and had to leave that down to Stu (my hubby) who found it tough also....finally he decided on one.....


These are the 2 we had to choose between - Stu decided on the one on the left (with more white on her face). I felt SO guilty not choosing the other one:

Isn't she just adorable????!!!:

This is her mum:

This is her dad:

They are only 5 weeks old at the moment so we have another 3 weeks before we can bring her home.

We had to go to Bognor Regis, West Sussex (a popular seaside resort) to see the puppies so as we were there, we decided to go to the beach for the rest of the afternoon...here is a picture of my 3 boys enjoing a paddle:

I feel I must appologise (is that the correct spelling??) for not posting very often lately....Hugglets is fast approaching and I'm desperately trying to get bears made, along with looking after the boys as they are on summer holidays from school/pre-school.....needless to say, my free time is literally non-existant at the moment!!!  bear_ermm

What sweet little puppies bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub  bear_wub
It will be interesting to see what she looks like as she gets older.You will never get any bears made now and don't forget to keep all your bears and bear making supplies away from her as she will be into everything bear_whistle

Congratulations on the new pup!  You could always bring the other little girl home, too, so she won't be left alone. bear_happy  What's one more puppy? She looks like such a sweet girL and it would have been hard for anyone to only pick one.

Have you picked a name yet? And we can look forward to pictures of her as she grows.

Good luck at Hugglets.

Gemma,
     I don't think it is a registered breed in North America either - they call them desgner dogs.  She's absolutely adorable!  it will be a long three weeks for all of you, so maybe you'd better get some sewing done, because I don't think you'll get much done, once she joins your family  :crackup:

                                            hugs,

                                            Brenda

Awww Gemma: your puppy is so cute...Now if you ask me, I would have taken both of them...That eliminates the guilt and stress of choosing!! This coming from a person who wanted to breed my Siamese. My Michael said "OH NO!! NO, NO, NO!!! I know you, you'd keep them all!! Is he dense or what? Of course I'd keep them all! I would not give up my babies!!! So dear Gemma, take the second puppy and call it a day.

Oh Gemma, I would have found it inpossible to choose, she is sooo adorable as is her sister. Knowing me I would have gone home with both of them. See you soon, Hugglets just around the corner and we are very close to each other at the show.

Hugs, Jane.  bear_thumb  bear_flower  bear_thumb

a very cute sweet puppy bear_original we just got one 2 days ago bear_wacko  I forgot about all the house breaking, chewing on wood table legs and digging holes in the yard, playfully barking at the cats to play[of course the cats don't think of play bear_happy ] but I must think positive as I'm sure we all get through these stages and they become a great dog bear_grin There are so many great things about having a dog also bear_thumb
