Albey update: Albey gets his big teeth

Lovely update arrived yesterday from Heather in my email inbox for Ernest and Lily's brother, Albey who was born back in April Thankfully all is safe. He is a F1b Cavapoo, being 3/4 Cavalier/ 1/4 Poodle.

Albey

"Hello Jane,

As promised, here's an Albey update! 

The photo of the little bottle has 2 of Albey's tiny baby teeth inside! We were so pleased to find them. His new teeth are coming in really well, straight and shiny white! 

I've sent you a few photos from his puppy class, which he passed earning himself his first rosette and certificate! He had the best recall in the class and we're all very proud of him.

You can see a few photos of him out and about - crossing his first bridge over flowing water, chilling in a big field and going for evening strolls. When the weather was hot he had fun in his paddling pool and when it was cooler he played with his new rope toy, he just loves chasing it!

In the photo where he's sitting on the grass with his mouth open, looking up, he's barking. He's found his voice and has even acted like a little guard dog at times. He's quite a vocal thing, he'll whine when he's excited or worried, such as in a new situation. I wondered if his siblings are the same? 

There's one photo I added of my Mum cradling a sleeping Albey because it reminded me of a photo you posted on your blog of Ernest recently. He's so sweet when he's sleepy!

He seems like he's really settled in now, it's great to see him so happy. I'm always greeted with a waggy tail and a lick, it's so lovely 

I hope you're all well, enjoy the rest of your bank holiday weekend,"

Thanks Heather for so many lovely photos of Albey. His brother is pretty similar. He will let out a sort of howl bark at new things. Lily is not so vocal, but both can whine if a bit stressed, doing something new. 

​Congratulations on passing out and puppy training class. Lily and Ernest are pretty good at recall, it probably is the bit of Poodle in them. Spaniels are notorious for selective hearing.
