I will let everyone know when that little bundle of joy that I have been waiting for so long has arrived. Well in my opinion ilovehounds, your dogs DO have a lot of energy!!!!!:P!!! I hope my dog doesn't bark so much!!!!! I like puppy barks but they became a little... boring after a while !!! Yes, I knwe about the health problems (thank god) and I think the beagle coat is similar to the labs coat or not? (I owed a lab once). Karen your aunt is very lucky to have a wonderful dpg like Peppy!!!! Thanks for the advice kobieeli, I'll keep that in mind that last thing u said, even though I don't have many pacience!!!!
