I noticed a February thread, so I decided we needed one for puppies born in January. I have a little girl coming home on March 5 She is from Osprey Goldens. Still deciding on a name....probably Susie. We lost our 13 year old golden 6 months ago. It's been a long time since I had a puppy- so excited!!! Who else has a January puppy coming home? Look forward to sharing lots of stories, pictures, and calls for advice!

I'm new here and also will be getting a golden at the end of March, she was born 1/24/11 :0). I can not wait to meet her..it's been a long journey, I had met my breeder through the puppy referral of a local golden club and the dog had just been bred so I've been through almost the entire pregnancy and now just waiting for the babies to get big enough to go home! Are you getting a performance pup or just for a pet? I'm going to get a show potential (my first) so this should be fun! I've wanted to do this since I was a little girl and now that I'm settled in my life (i.e. work, done having kids) I'm starting on my journey.

We'll be picking up our January baby next thursday! He is from Kelore kennel in Maine! Glad to have a January thread started!

Getting our first puppy in March! She was born on the 23rd of Jan, can't wait to share with all the other January puppies!

We just got our first golden retriever pup (english creme) this past Saturday, February 26th. He is such an adorable sweet smart pup. He does like to bite and chew on everything!!! He is housetraining very quickly and is sleeping in his crate on his oun and was sleepng through the night after 2 nights. We are having a blast. He is working on sitting, walking on leash, and having nice eating manners.

Hi everyone
How are all the January pups going?
I'm bringing Summer home tomorrow... Will try my best to sleep tonight! My last chance in possibly a long time to sleep through
I'm SO excited, and SO nervous...

Barley has been with us just over a week and it's going incredibly well. One accident in the house so far (but hey, my nine year old was watching him!) Sleeps in his crate and sooooo smart! Loving having a baby in the house!

Our new puppy is coming next week! She was born 1/16 so she will be almost 9 weeks old when we get her. This is our first golden although I had one as a child and other family members have had them. We are still figuring out a name. We plan on enrolling her in Sirius Dog Training starting at the end of April.

Great to hear everyone's going well!
Summer came home yesterday and it's been great, though she's our first puppy so it's a bit hard to compare
She loves her crate - maybe a bit too much, whenever we're playing fetch in the backyard she gets the ball and runs all the way round the house to the backdoor and into her crate - and goes in there in her own all the time. She had one accident yesterday (unfortunately a #2) but that was really my fault. She loves cuddles but has been a piranha all morning. We gave her a bath yesterday but she was so fidgety and seemed really scared. Didn't help that my mum was so worried about getting her dry that we didn't get to shampoo her real well, so she's still smelly (probably rolled in some yucky stuff) which means bath no.2 soon...
She's a real picky eater and hardly eats much, so I'm kinda worried but I'll try soaking her food down more like the breeder did.
All in all, she's got us all wrapped around her little paw and we love her to bits
