Hi always go for the bigger pup as it proves that he was getting all the right nutrients starting in his mothers womb and no worries at all about the legs stretched out behind him that is a sign of him being completely relaxed' as he gets older might not do that very often as he matures.
He sounds a wonderful boy and this is only my personal opinion but I love to see a good sized golden as that is how they should be.

Let us know how you go ' I know you can never replace your wonderful old boy but having another Golden will certainly bring joy back into your lives again.
Oh and its really good that your boy reached the ripe old age of 16 years' hope our Shane 11 years goes that long.

We went with the darker golden, we just have a soft spot for the darker goldens. He was born October 7 and we brought him home on the weekend.
We had a big pen but dismantled it and never used it. So far he doesn't seem destructive at all, pretty much has the run of the house. We take him outside when he wakes up or after he eats and we have had very few accidents.

He had his first shots before we brought him home. They said the pups had all been dewormed, as they had just given them all something to eat like a piece of kibble that did the deworming? (So the deworming does not show in the vet record).

He seems quite itchy, scratching and biting at himself fairly often. Is this something we need to be concerned about? Or is this normal?

When is it recommended for a first vet appointment? He shouldn't be exposed to other dogs until he is a bit older? Or we just need to be sure the other dogs are vaccinated?
