Hello,
Not sure if you remember that I was suppose to bring a female golden pup home a couple weeks ago. The breeder called the night before we were picking her up and said she had a heart murmer.

So we decided against that pup. Very dissapointed. I got a call a couple days later that a male was available. I went to see him and fell in LOVE!

He is perfect. We have had him a week and he is the most gentle, affectionate little man! He is now 10 weeks old.He sleeps in the crate from 10pm till 7am! He is potty training so well. A few pee accidents so far. Im journalling when he eats and poops etc, so I can keep track. I will post pics soon as I have taken about 75 pics so far:)

Guess it was meant to be! Even though I really wanted a female, this guy is GREAT!!
We have decided to keep the name Willow.

asiacat- Shadow love him! They play so well together.Shadow took to him when I first brought him home. Not even a growl yet. We are so pleased. Shadow is such a lazy easy going girl, its nice to see her playing with this little guy. He cuddles up next to her for there naps. I think she comforts him.
She is so well behaved, it is a big help with Willows training! She is a great role model:)

I edited and added some pics to the original post!

Congrats on Willow!! He is adorable!! I always wanted a female dog until we got our first male... now I can't imagine having a girl. :)

Having a great role model will definitely help with the training, especially in the biting department - so you are lucky to have Shadow.

Make sure to keep us posted through the weeks with lots more pictures :D

What a handsome polar bear face on that puppy- great pigment too with that coal black nose. I am really glad to hear you held your ground on the heart murmur!

Congrats on your little guy. He is just adorable and I think the kids love him. With the big smiles and hugs. I am glad you got him and I think Shadow loves him too.

Yep he is a BIG boy! his paws are almost the same size as Shadows!
He's pretty mellow, and he loves his mama! Follows me around, which I enjoy:)
It's really neat to see the dogs play together. I guess it all happened for a reason..... This little guy was meant to come to us:)
