Hello everyone,

I just wanted to introduce myself and say what a great forum this is. I browse many different forums and this one seems to be a great one. A lot of great input, pictures and advice here. I have a 5 month old GSP female named Oakley (maybe in my avatar?) along with a 2 year old shorthair/border collie mix. To me, I have the two greatest dogs in the world but I have to admit, I am addicted to my shorthair. She follows me everywhere I go and just has the best personality. I hope to be able to learn a lot from you guys and enjoy everyones comments here.

I did have one question on my mind that I thought I would ask since I'm writing. So far Oakley has been great in the house, has hardly had any accidents, even when we brought her home at 9 weeks, but all of the sudden, last night she pee'd 3 times in the house. Seriously, she has never done this at all! Is this a stage that she is going to go through or do you think this was just a fluke? She's so cute when she knows she's in trouble so its so hard to get upset with her but just wondering if this is a phase that a lot of puppies go through? Thank you all in advance!

Ok so here is my attemp to uploading pictures. I hope it works. I need to be a lot better at taking pictures of her, these pictures are when she was about 2 and a half months old so she's a little bigger now. I will try and get some updated pictures of her as soon as I can.

She's absolutely stunning, i love the full liver colouring.  That's a cracking photo of her beside the lake - looks like you're already giving her the sort of life a gsp thrives on  loads of outdoor adventures with smells and plenty to chase
