Thanks everyone. We think she is great. Our house is filled with puppy toys. She has learnt to run all through the house full bore and loves toes. In a week she will be able to venture into the big wide world.

Hope you've already got her to sit on command, and to come to her name.
Best thing I was taught re puppy management was, when you take them out and they wee, as they start say "Go Wee" and when they finish make a fuss of them.
I did this, and now both dogs will wee on command (well they do if there's anything in the tank).
Makes night time trips quick and also useful in the rain !

Rip and Rosie,
What a great suggestion, 'Go Wee'. She gets a huge amount of praise each time she does something and does come to her name. We haven't gone further yet as it is not until this Tuesday that she can go out and about. Even then we'll be careful as she does not have her final shots till Feb 5th.
I thought I had posted this information earlier, but it's not showing up; don't know why.
This is our new girl, Pippa. She is an Australian Silky Terrier and is beautiful. She's gentle, she's sweet and she is spunky.
