For those who have replied to my previous post, apologies but I don't seem to be able log in for some reason.

Thank you for your advice/comments.  A very nice, breeder (registered on this site) has contacted me and we now have our name on a list for a litter later this year.  I can put a tick in all the boxes based on my research and I can't wait to meet her and her dogs later this year.  We are now concentrating on a lot of reading and preparation for the new arrival!

Thank you.
