New dog and owner intro

Hi guys, wanted to introduce myself and my new pup, Dixie. She's a 9 week old Chesapeake Bay Retriever from Cur-sans Kennel in Wisconsin. She was delivered last week by Kati at Move the Dog. I'm a first time dog-owner and plan on training her myself. I'm sure I'll be on here from time to time for advice, and hopefully to brag on how Dixie's coming along! Thanks in advance for the help!

Congratulation on the new family member; having a puppy in many ways is like having a new baby. Lots of crying, whimpering, and messes on the floor. Plan on spending a lot of bonding time with her especially at this age. If you can not devote the time into training you may wish to begin the search for trainers now.

Good luck,

Cute pup. Sure miss our Dixie.

Cute!

Congrats and welcome! Chessies are very cool!

Welcome.

Great looking CBR and welcome. I would highly recommend joining one or more of the Houston area HRC Retriever clubs. They are a great resource for anyone training their own pup. http://www.huntingretrieverclub.org/localclubsites.shtml

Welcome and I look forward to hearing updates on Dixie.

She is a cutie!

Thanks for the suggestion John. I'll definitely check them out.

Nice. How long did it take to deliver the pup from the day it was picked up in wisconsin

Congratulations on your new pup.

Blanked- she was picked up on a Wednesday morning and was in my driveway on Thursday by 5:30 PM. And, she was happy when she got there!!

Great looking pup!!!! I also have a Chessie. Look forward to seeing updates on the pup.
