Yep. That's why she's pretty big like Ruby here. First gen are pretty small.
I have to say, I love the fact that they don't shed. @Emelia8
All my previous dogs shed and it was a horror to clean! I thought you'd had Hannah for much longer than I've had Ruby. Feels like forever when you first posted about her.
Was it Hannah who doesn't do well travelling?

I've had Hannah 12 months now @tyme 😊. I got her about 10 weeks old. And yes, same as you, my previous dogs have all shed. Hannah doesn't, which is nice. But it does mean they need grooming. A fair trade I think. Hannah is a fleece type coat and pretty easy care. Only needs a cut every 2-3 months.
Yes that's correct, she used to get carsick. Even during short drives. But thankfully she seems to have outgrown that when she was about 8 months old. She is all good now, and has come to enjoy her car rides now.

Phew! I'm glad to hear she's better with travelling now. That helps a lot. I wonder if it was more anxiety?
Anyway, yes, the groom is about every 2 months. We attempt her groom ourselves every alternative groom... and yes, the next groom, we give her to a professional to groom. Each groom is about $80-$100 which is a fair bit. @Emelia8

Yeah not sure @tyme It's possible it was anxiety I guess. But I think some puppies do get carsick, but tend to grow out of it.
A full groom costs me $70, which I agree is a fair bit. But it includes bath, dry, nail trim, full groom, etc. And they do a good job and take good care of her, so I am happy.
