\"Baxter<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We had a lovely email from a puppy called Baxter. He\u2019s a Gordon Setter and he is really keen to get started on his training before he\u2019s had all his injections for going out. He looked so cute we thought you\u2019d like to see him too. His human was trying to remember the details of the internet tv channel that Shadow was on for her B litter as they had lots of training information. Unfortunately it seems that that doesn\u2019t exist anymore, which Shadow is really upset about. I\u2019ve reassured her she didn\u2019t break it as we found information about them for about six months after her litter was shown. Anyway, we\u2019ve sent Baxter the information that Shadow sends with her puppies when they go to their homes, but if you know of any sites that give really good training information for young puppies then let us know and we\u2019ll include a link so that Baxter and other youngsters can find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the funny things that happened while my Mistress was in America was that she actually wore a Pet Dogs Democratic Party \u2018One Dog One Vote\u2019 t-shirt while visiting the US Capitol and going into the House of Representatives. It wasn\u2019t deliberate. She didn\u2019t know she was visiting there that day when she put it on. Then when they found they could go in there were signs saying \u2018no banners\u2019 and similar things, so she got really worried that the security people wouldn\u2019t like it. She wasn\u2019t sure they would believe the explanation. Anyway, she said she held her coat in front of her the whole time so they couldn\u2019t see it, which I think is a shame to be honest. She should have been proud to have been wearing it. I can however say that my party has been in the American Parliament!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
