Re: Introducing Oscar
Thanks for all your comments folks, Oscar is proving to be a smashing little chap and is full of character even now, and I am sure he will enrich our lives beyond measure in the years to come.

Puppy..training.. isn't that a contradiction of terms Mags..
Seriously though, little Oscar has settled into the routine of the house very easily, and has shown no anxiety whatsoever after being separated from his siblings, which is great. He loves to play and eat and sleep and he is already showing off his athleticism by getting up and down steps and overcoming obstacles in the garden and house. We had him checked by our vet yesterday and he had his first injection.
As for training, he is at the stage of wanting to taste and own everything; if it moves it is his, if it doesn't move it is his, if it is mine it is his and if it is his it is his.....
We are toilet training him on a gravel area at the bottom of the garden, which we did with Zack when we first got him. Through his life Zack never went anywhere else in the garden except the gravel area, which made it exceptionally easy to clean up after him and we are hoping it will work the same with Oscar.
More news and pics soon.....
