the window is kinda long and i open it always..so sunlight will come thru and even air ventilation is ok..my room got limited wire and i can fence them..

if its not good, is it ok if i keep it in da house for like 8 months and then oni keep em in my porch?

im thinkin to get a labrador instead of GR..its the same except for the coating only right ?

Wah got lamb chop summore, your dogs are nicely spoiled hehe. Hope your husky pup will be happy in her new home ^^


As far as I know labs and GRs are similar in temperament, although I hear labs tend to be greedier with food. As long as your dog is well exercised and gets enough attention from you I suppose keeping him in a well ventilated and sunny room isn't too bad - especially if you let him wander around the house when there are people around to supervise. One concern you might want to think about is if he's cooped up indoors most of the time, will he be well adjusted in terms of how he reacts to novel things - i.e. thunder, rain, other dogs/animals, traffic and so on? Make sure to expose him regularly to new things so he doesn't easily get frightened/overexcited.

im planning to bring it out every weekend to da park and enjoy a little bit..hopefully this will be ok..or is there any other suggestions?

my gf just said she wants a GR not a lab...she prefer furry animals..lol

for 1~5 month i can recomend put inside ur room...
but after that...better u put a bigger place..or atleast ready a sleep room for ur dog personal use...
if u see thoose coat flying everywhr...will get mad...


if u get husky in ur situation will be better...

oh..ok..got it..thx ya ^^
btw, just got my GR today..its 55days old....planning to name it TongTong(SugarSugar in canto)..tried many names, this is the name which she give responds to.. here r da pics..

1 question : i feed her and i see she is like not full at all, keep looking for more..do i still need to give more ? i gave her like 5-6 handfull of dog food...

with mka?
mind to share about the lineage?

u gonna change your cage soon
it's too small for your GR

better use play pen for tis age...
if put inside the cage scare will make V leg...

Yup bringing her out would be good, let her get used to the sights and sounds outside. But don't bring her out until she's finished all her vaccs to be safe, some dogs are unlucky and can still kena parvo etc. even after 1-2 vaccs.

So cute and plump Don't overfeed her, if she's anything like my retriever you give 1 sack of food oso will finish the whole sack lol. If you overfeed the excess weight might strain the hip joints. Like another person has mentioned your play pen is too small, need to expand it to have enough space so she can move comfortably. If she picks up toilet training quickly you might not even need the pen for long

yup, i got play pen d..just wanna get 2 more pcs to make it bigger..now only have 4 pcs..but im thinking if there is such a big tray and kennel board for it...something like the picture but with a blue board on top..

how much is the cage above?

it cost rm17/pc...a seller selling in pet store forum...
i have the things ready..just need to get the board and the tray..thinkin whr to get that particular size o.O

planning to put her on playpen in the next 2 weeks..

If you want to let them out when they're whining, only do so a while AFTER the whining stops. Otherwise, they will think that whining will get what they want.

FYI, I kept my GR in my room since day one I got him until he was 5 months old. The result of that is..... LOTS of shedding meaning fur EVERYWHERE, floor, table, keyboard, many furballs. I whack my curtain and I will see fur flying everywhere like snow. Then there's the smell, he was trained to pee on a tray laid with pee pads which I change daily.

I have a very spacious room, I didn't plan to keep him in my room forever so now he's in my car porch. I can tell you its a helluva huge relief. My room is so much cleaner without a furball GR. I don't have to worry about the pee accidents that he sometimes have which requires some serious hectic cleaning.

So there you have it, if you can tolerate with all that. Keep your GR in your room!
