I had a long chat with the breeder yesterday and apart from the initial toiletting problems, she should fit in easily. Being a kennel dog, "house training" is not usually something they are very aware of. Mya was the same. However, "sheebs" are very quick learners and I have a lot of patience and plenty of towels to cover the carpet
Bunnie also is rather possessive of food, so it may be prudent to feed them separately for a while. I'm hoping it will be a trait I can "talk her out of" in time, but if not, it's not a problem.
She is currently raw fed, as Len is, so no need for a change in diet, which will be great.
She is "kennel smelly" but I just couldn't wait another week while Gill gets her bathed. She couldn't do it right away as her kennel maid is preparing for a show this weekend (Gill, sadly, is confined to a wheelchair).
I remember Mya stinking to high heaven when we got her. She was also so scared that she farted all the way home (2 hours) - it was rank........ I only wiped her over with some pet wipes as she was a nervous wreck and I never bathed her all the time I had her. Plenty of grooming and she was just fine. Hopefully it will be the same for Bunnie. I am hoping she smells a little less than Mya as the journey is 3 hours home and I can't find my gas mask
