Our chocolate, Lani, we got at 8 weeks. She was born on Christmas, Toby was born on 3/31. We picked him up on Monday, I made a semi-impulsive decision to get another doodle. He is just as sweet as can be with some horns popping up behind his ears! :lol: He is going to be more of a chewer than Lani. We had never raised a puppy until Lani. Our first dog came to us in 2001 and was 6 months and was completely potty trained and did not chew a thing (except loaves of bread and buns). She suddenly died in January and this is where our (my) doodle adventure began. Thanks for the info.
