This is George, he is the latest addition to our clan. we got him yesterday from a rescue kennels near York. However, even though he was in a rescue he wasnt an ill treated or abandoned dog. He was given to them following a family break up so he has been well cared for.
He is a pedigree labrador puppy and is only 8 months old. Tracy had begun to look at a couple of dogs in the paper after we lost our last dog on valentines day and it looked like she was about ready to want one again.
She was after a chocolate labrador but then was told that they were prone to a lot of health problems so went off the idea, after a little bit of trawling the internet i stumbled across plantation kennels at high catton near York. We at first saw another dog which was a x labrador called Ruby, But then saw George.
In the paper labrador puppies were going for between 300 and 500 pounds each, so when i asked the girl on the telephone what the prices of the dogs were and was told all dogs are sold for £100 i was more than happy. Plus the fact that George has been Neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flead, it seemed like good business to me.
Obviously it will take some time for us to get used to him and vice versa, the only thing is we were told he was house trained, what we didnt realise was what this meant!!!! the boys took him for a walk this morning and he never had a wee outside but as soon as he walked in through the door he weed!!!!!!!!! ah well thank goodness for laminate flooring.

Thats labs for you. Ours is 5 and still does it.
Carols mate just bought a pedigree dog too - certainly not for £100 quid though!
He's a very bonny dog. you should have called him Knocker Norton, something sensible like that :)
