" Percy is now 7 months old and weighs in at about 7.8kg. He is now eating like a labrador. He seems to be getting  larger by the day. He settled in very quickly; gets on very well with the children and loves meeting dogs of all shapes and sizes. We go to training sessions. Percy spends most of the time dive-bombing his sausage dog friend called Frankie: they have a great time.We have some way to go in relation to obedience. Every one on the block seems keen to meet this labradoodle. People who I have never met before come up to us and say " so this is Percy ". Percy sits there accepting all the adjulation. He has had his first holiday,a few days at an English Heritage cottage at Belsay Hall in the North East. He did very well indeed. Some great walks along the beach and through the woods. At home he is into everything- nothing is safe-he is in a chew everything mode. His coat is developing a very distinct brown tinge. I am attaching a few photos. I hope they arrive in a viewable form "
