I’ve had dogs from breeders and have also rescued multiple dogs and cats from shelters. Both have pros and cons and everyone should consider their options carefully. Hopefully everyone has the opportunity to rescue at least 1 pet from a shelter during their lifetime.
Great way of putting this! I’m getting a dog from a shelter soon and I think that dogs in general have pros and cons. You just need to find a good shelter.
Omg what an absolutely exciting month Ella !!!!!! Bringing home a new pup is literally the best feeling they are so cute and they fit into your family so quickly!!! So happy for you all xxx
What a treat! I laughed & cried (happy tears of course). Enjoy every adorable moment with the treasure that is Miss Mabel. Thanks for sharing your delicious new adventure with us 🐾
Also as someone who has a puppy and is doing heaps of training HIGHLY reccomend prime rolls for training I cut the whole loaf up into cubes and freeze them on ziplock bags and thaw them out to use! It’s the best for training because she doesn’t waste any time chewing on them!
Congrats on the new addition to the family! Mabel is simply adorable! I nearly died when she pounced on the leaves. Too cute 💗 I bet she sleeps well after all the playtime in the garden and with all those toys. Be sure and hide your shoes from her!
Congratulations!!! She looks so cute ❤ It's just really beautiful to see the manifestation of your goals for this year. It's so encouraging. Thank you so much for sharing
Notification squad, where u at? Here from UA-cam notifications! Already liked the vid EVEN b4 watching as I know I will ❤️ it! Mabel is SO CUTE!!!! She is UTTERLY ADORABLE!!!! I’m looking forward to seeing her in the vlogs.
What a cutie! Thank you for researching properly into breeders. Not enough people do that. Respect you guys big time. 🩷🩷 Also the KFC drumstick sent me 😂
She is absolutely beautiful!! And you two doting on her like new parents 🥰 this is what you will be like with a human baby!! I suspect she will be a tad spoilt.
Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for getting a purebred dog from a breeder. I currently have a rescue greyhound, and he’s had so many issues with aggression, resource guarding etc that we can’t even go on holidays anymore as he’s such high needs. It’s shattered me 😢 it’s not his fault, but it’s been so tough. my previous dog was an ex-show dog from a breeder, she was literally the most perfect girl and I miss her so much. I know there are so many amazing rescue dogs, but I won’t do it again. This dog has destroyed my soul lol
Soooooooo cute! 😍... It is soo weird to me seeing someone be sooo prepared with puppy supplies 😂Just because i got my puppy (Staffy) a couples weeks after moving into our brand new house too as a surprise birthday present 11 years ago (The greatest birthday present for me that keeps on giving and giving 😃) so i didn't that exciting shopping experience... It was more like a quick run to Coles on the way home BUT i've had 11 years of spoiling her with shopping sprees, so i've made up for it. 💖
I'm so so excited for you! I'm a first time dog owner as well and it's super exciting. I wanted a puppy to grow with my daughter and we chose a maltese x bichon.
I’ve never ever had a puppy or a dog of my own. I’ve lived with dogs before but they were never my dogs and I didn’t have that special bond with them. I’d love to get a cocker spaniel puppy from a breeder as my first puppy. I also did think about the shelter dogs and I do feel sorry for them but maybe in future we will have one from the shelter too ❤
I got a puppy a month ago and it was a long time in the making since we lost our boy 3 years prior. Right timing for us as a family and she’s just settled in perfectly. We got her at 3 months old and she’s smart and such an easy puppy. All the best.
She is beautiful! Congratulations. Be careful with roo treats on a tiny tummy, its quite rich and can cause poop explosions. We love those 'burrow' toys for our dogs too, my whippet has donuts he pulls out of a coffee mug 😂 Your toy and treat stash is very impressive. Be prepared to get addicted to Petcircle haha.
You probably won’t see this comment because it has been so long 😅 but I have been really wanting a cocker spaniel ever since I met my aunts, I was wondering if you could let me know the prices of living with a dog! Love this video 🎉
I totally get why you aren't adopting especially if Nick has been wary you never know the history of an adopted pup and It's always better for an adopted pup to find their forever home and not to have to be rehomed later if they weren't good around potential babies extra. Rehoming is a wonderful thing to do if you have the time and patience but ultimately it's your decision and no one should shame you for that. My sister got a pup in January a border collie and I have to say she is nuts and a total hand full It's like my sister has a baby again lol
lol who needs toys when you have leaves lol typical baby and just like a child buy them the toy they love the box lol She's adorable congratulations guys :) xx
I agree. We bought only 3 toys. A unicorn which she’s obsessed with and 2 more tether toys which she’s not keen on. She’s also mostly obsessed with leaves and grass from the yard. I’m glad I didn’t go overboard as I didn’t waste money.
Please don’t feel like you need to justify your decision about getting an ethically bred puppy from a registered breeder! As someone who works at an animal shelter I see the animals at shelters daily and they all need SOOO much more work than a puppy, so many unknowns with their backgrounds and history! As someone who has worked and trained dogs for over 10 years I would not even be in a place in my life to adopt a dog from a shelter. That’s a dog you’re going to raise your kids around you need to be able to trust it! You have done your research and you have chosen a breed that suits your lifestyle and that is the most informed decision you can choose! 95% of dogs in shelters are big dogs and that wouldn’t suit your life style! Do not feel guilty! People will always have their options about adopting vs puppies and those people clearly don’t know the first thing about dog breeds and shelters! Mabel is adorable!
hey ella there’s an app we use for our pets! you can put in times for feeding, sleeping, playing, vaccinations, etc. nick can also download the app and see the times you did certain things with her, and he can also input times he does things as well for easy communication! it’s called “dog note” 🩷🩷🩷

Please recreate the clip of you three snuggled on the couch (nick is holding Mabel in a blanket like a baby) when you have your really baby !!💜
omg imagine? 🥹
she is sooooo adorable..
I’ve never ever had a puppy or a dog of my own. I’ve lived with dogs before but they were never my dogs and I didn’t have that special bond with them.
I’d love to get a cocker spaniel puppy from a breeder as my first puppy.
I also did think about the shelter dogs and I do feel sorry for them but maybe in future we will have one from the shelter too ❤
She is gorgeous what a sweetheart 😍
Did guys decide on the name or Did the breeder name her?
Omg what a cutie!!

Did you choose the name of your puppy or did she already come with a name?
She is beautiful! Congratulations. Be careful with roo treats on a tiny tummy, its quite rich and can cause poop explosions.

Hi!! on average we probably spend $100 a month on her x
Can you share the breeders Info I really need this breed
What breeder did you get her from?
Okuri on the Gold Coast
@@smileycitrus oh okay awesome! And are they English show cockers or American cockers?
Puppy cute😊😊😊
Shelters have puppies too
Of course. They rarely if ever have cocker spaniel puppies though which is the breed that suits us and our family.

thank you!!! needed to hear this 🫶🏼
where did you get your dog i am getting one and don't know where to get them
Okuri Breeders
Make sure you get you forever companion from a 5 * Licensed breeders like us
Good job for doing research on ethical breeders🥰
make sure she has had all her needles before you take her out walking to keep her safe 😊
of course!
🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Why did you praise her for peeing in the house?! That’s going to make house training her harder and make her really confused
that's not inside the house 😅
