    Puppies!

    Hey all.

    Just started the adoption process on a new family member!

    He's just three weeks old so I gotta wait a bit - but I'm sure he's gonna make an excellent bush dog! Hes a Chesapeake Bay/Golden retriever cross - both parents are purebreds.

    Any other new 'parents' out there?

    Congrats! Adorable looking pup. Chessies are great (folks have one) and crossed with a golden, I don't think you can go wrong.

    Re: Puppies!

    Are there any of those pups left, if so where are they and how much do they cost?

    Hey.

    I lucked out on this one. Lucked out big time.

    I was looking for pups on-line - kinda casual like, with no real hard core searching or anything, and I came across this lady in Grande Prairie who had some pups for adoption. I took a chance and e-mailed her and found that out of the eight there were only two left.

    ... and by the time she decided to adopt one to me - mine was the last one,.

    She was adopting them out on behalf of this old timer who wasn't very internet savvy and who wanted to give the pups out free to good homes.
    I have a buddy in Dawson Creek going up to pick him up when he's eight weeks, then I'm either driving up to Dawson to get him or I'll have him flown down to Vancouver.

    The lady basically asked me all kinds of questions and then later let me know that she wanted me to have one of the pups. All he's costing me is gas or airfare and a case of beer for my home-boy
    Darren, up in the Creek

    I got really lucky on this one - kinda like the guy who gets a vintage car, in mint condition on the cheap, from the little old lady who only drove it to church on Sundays

    Regards - and good puppy hunting.

    Congrats on the new pup!

    My wife is flying in to Dawson tomorrow. Too bad the timing wasn't different she could do the last leg of the journy for you.

    Well, thanks very much Phil - I appreciate the thought!

    I figure the wee lad won't be ready till the first or second
    week of march though

    Yeah, I reconsidered the rottie - wanted a dog who would be a safe family member as well as one who would get along with my other dog

    Hey there.

    Well we are finally picking up our wee lad at the airport on Sunday. We've been waiting for him to get old enough to leave his mom, and he's finally on the way. My 6 year old daughter has been going nuts with the wait
