“Whilst training is generally going well, there seems to be plenty of mischievous activities with many reports of water-loving, thieving, dishwasher and washing machine enthusiasts with strong opinions and poor gardening skills.
“Watching these little beauties develop into the wonderful dogs they are destined to be is such a privilege and we promise to include you all on this exciting journey.
“Thank you to all the fabulous families that have welcomed these pups into their hearts and homes up and down the country.”
“We know how adored they are and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for them.”
