Very very cute!
Those of you that have a bitch, how do you deal with the mess when she comes into season?
We're about to enter our first season with our ~6 month old lab and I don't want the house to turn into a battle scene, any tips? Have seen some dog nappies on Amazon but I'm not sure how she'd take to that!

Ours doesn't mind the nappies, once they're on she doesn't really bother with them. They're a bit of a faff, and it's not exactly a pleasant thing to have to do - but they've worked ok so far. Just make sure you get several, so they can be washed out each day etc.
With my mums dogs we gave her dog nappies and she was fine with it after the first day or so.
We got our dog spayed before her first season (Vets advice) so fortunately didn't have to deal with that problem ourselves this time

We kept ours only in tiled rooms for the duration then she got spayed after her first season.

Bitches in season here and passing blood get kennelled outside for a few days. Has she got an outside kennel?
Nope, and she’s 6 months old - wouldn’t be fair to suddenly change her to being outside, esp in this cold/wet weather

Sounds like doggy nappies could be a good solution.

OMG!! That's too cute!!Cassie is our 13 year old Lab
Winnie is our 13 week old Lab / German shorthaired pointer cross.
The old girl trys to ignore the pup as much as possible but she just wants to play all the time!
How did you get on with the initial meet and greet?
I'm getting a new miniature sausage dog puppy on the 15th October so am just starting to think about how to introduce my 12 and a half year old to her.
I'm sending a blanket to the breeder so that she can send it back with the puppy scent on for Maddie to smell.

With ours we got the eldest one tired out, let them outside on lead. Then take older dog out for walk while pup goes into your garden.
Let older dog see pup in your garden and then let them into your house.

As we both work full time, we never thought it was fair to get a dog.
Once my wifes work said she could work from home, the mindset changed.
Had this little guy a couple of weeks.

I'm going to have work out how to try and post pictures from my android phone on here of my little girl.
I'm embarrassingly rubbish with these kinds of things
We first introduced them in the garden, it was dark and the old girls eyes arent the best so not 100% sure she actually noticed the pup
We then moved in side and they had a sniff of each other and that was about it for the first day.Cassie has never really shown much interest in other dogs - she may play for a few minutes but is far more interested in people (or food obviously
) Cassie is being really good all things considered - she has gone from being the princess off the house to having a little upstart jumping and barking at her. She's a little protective of her toys still so there's a lot of shouting between the 2 but their tails are always wagging. We still don't leave them alone together anyway as rather not take any chances.
