I am so pleased for you, its hard when you loose a dog my 6 year old gsd colapsed on me xmas eve , with internal bleed unfortuantley he did not make it, that was heart breaking worse xmas ever ,then we had gypsy with her cancer(All ok so far) but we moved on and decided to get nico it did not mean we had forgotton mick , but having nico really helped us.
Its great having your carpets chewed,toys every where, toilet training etc. Nico is still with the breeders at moment while we decided what to do , which is the best way forward for nico I really do wish you luck with your new pup Im sure he will bring a lot of pleasure and love to you please keep me updated on how its goes GypsyX
