We collected him and drove for 3 hours up to our cara in Grassington, he was quite happy on Di's knee for the journey. First job house training, we had a lot of accidents which were to be expected. He couldn't meet other dogs as he hadn't had his second vaccinations so I had to carry him around the site and let him do pees and poos in an area between the vans which was rarely used by other dogs.
The photo on the right shows just how small he was next to my shoe! On his first night he cried to go out from his crate early morning and the the next night he waited until I got up at 7.30 !
So just how did we choose his name? Just after we lost Timmy Di had a vivid dream where we had a dog called Barney and the breeder's name was Barnfield!
We spent the first 2 weeks of his life with us at the caravan then went to Rich's in Nantwich for the weekend then home to Devon. He traveled very well with no mishaps. Toilet training started in earnest with regular trips to the garden and praise for success. Looking back it didn't take long.
