Alfie at 8 months having cuddle time with Mia … I don’t think either of them stay this still for long from what I’ve heard.

Alfie has the retriever gene for swimming – 7 months here and on a family walk. Don’t know if he has inherited the gene for loving mud and muck yet though …

Here’s Alfie at 4 months, looking smart and very well behaved as it mixes with the cafe crowd in Wellington.

Here’s a good shot to see Alfie’s coat. He is the only one of the litter to have a different coat. The undercoat is shorter – still very thick and soft though. It’s possible he will end up looking more like a retriever than his brothers and sister.

Alfie has only been home for a matter of days and he’s already made it to the local newspaper!! It looks like he was trying out different new beds …

Here’s the baby of the 2015 litter – Mr Little – arriving at his new home and meeting two of the children. He flew to Wellington with apparently no signs of distress at all, in fact he fell asleep during check-in. The whole thing was more exhausting for the human I think, a very long day 🙂
