Just to say hi and to introduce myself and my husband Dave - We are going to be the proud owners of one of Tallulah's puppies - we are now counting the days. We have a beautiful German Shepherd called Bella - who we think will just adore her new baby brother, but we will have to watch that she doesn't overdo the mothering bit.

I also have a semi retired advanced dressage horse who lives with 2 Springer's - who are really lively, plus various other doggy walking friends, so "Jack" will have lots of social contacts, my mum is even involved in that she is puppy sitting when I have to work the odd long day or when I cannot work from home.

I just want to say thank you Ali for putting up with our concerns and to Loudon and Grania for allowing us to spend so long with the puppies - I must admit if I hadn't seen it for myself I wouldn't have believed a puppy could have chosen his owner like "Jack" chose Dave but he did and Dave is so delighted - this is a birthday present about 2 years in the coming - because of a let down early on - but I think it must have been fate - with Tallullah such a lovely looking girl and Strider such a stunning boy.

I get great pleasure from reading the blog and looking at the photos of all your Munsterlanders and friends.
