Thinking of you ...

Would a beagle be OK in off lead parks as the OP has described ?

meet Ruffy ... she was free to good home at the local opshop ..and is obviously a bearded collie 'clone' ;) She lives in the car ..and looks quite good as a 'watchdog' ! Someone asked me if she could see ok ? Ha,ha,ha...

Welcome Hope we can be of help. i will (as is my wont) give you a bit of homework ..it may touch on things which you've not yet thought of ..and hopefully will help! LINK LINK LINK labs are wonderful ..and yes..can be a bit over enthusiastic for the first year or so ! Mind you .. obtaining an adult from a breeder/lab rescue /private rehome could be an option

teekay..LOVE that shot (and the slippers ;) )

Ok..here's mine , taken late this afternoon . A couple of our Apostlebird family , with Autumn leaves in the background ...

Gorgeous george !

This is sad news indeed - your girl is beautiful I hope the time you get to spend together is long . if not , may it be fun , ticking off all sorts of things from a doggy 'bucket list' ... take care

First I've heard about it ...

Good decision . I agree with the country lifestyle problems..eyelids like that are not suitable

LOVE them, Possum Corner ...the blurs look like arty ones

week whatever ;) Bruce, the cardboard box 'recycler' .he loves them !

@teekay that's great! Love the symmetry.

Is. Don.

Yes- being wary is a very good thing> Sleuthing is also good! have a read here CLICK and this ! CLICK Google their kennel name Ask them ( or look at their AD on Dogzonline) for their DOGS (name of state) number . Talk to them about what they DO with their dogs Do they show , train for obedience , or do any other dog sports? What litters have they had in the past , and what did the puppies end up doing ? Did they get shown, were they pets ? Ask ( and do your homework prior) if pups are sold on limited register , or what ? this may help you CLICK

@Roova fantastic !!

@Roova did you make these ??? !!!! LOVE them How clever .

Hope he's OK now ... I've never seen it happen ...certainly would be worrying!

LOL@ this !!

Awww, SM .. big hugs . Gorgeous pics off the old man ..
