BBC Launches Adorable Show '12 Puppies And Us’

The BBC is back to bringing us more adorable puppy content in its new series, 12 Puppies And Us: The Next Chapter.

After the success of 10 Puppies And Us back in 2018, we're being treated to a second series, which will follow new puppy owners as they get to grips with raising their four-legged friends.

In case you need a reminder, here's a clip from the last series:

Like the first instalment, the series will feature the ups and the downs of becoming a parent to a newborn pooch.

It will feature both adopted rescue and responsibly-bought puppies, and follow their owners as they face a whole range of behavioural trials and challenges.

A whole array of doggy breeds will be featured - from Whippets to Dachshunds - and we'll also get a unique insight into the way their early days differ.

Plus, we'll see owners take their pooch on its first ever walkies, attempt to toilet train them and generally form a tight-knit bond.

Honestly, second to getting a puppy of our own, this sounds about as good as it gets.

As the name suggests, the show will also re-visit some of the dogs from the 2018 series, to see how they're doing now.

Abigail Priddle, Commissioning Editor for BBC Two, said: "I'm so excited to have a new cohort of puppies joining us on BBC Two.

"From large dogs to small, rescue pups to responsibly bred, this series will be a wonderful way of sharing in the joys, troubles, tips and training that come with a new four-legged friend."

While we don't yet know which pups will be making a comeback, 10 Puppies And Us featured some absolute characters when it aired two years ago.

Showing rescue pup Pedro - who just kept running off - to pooping pooch Maple - who continued to leave a rather unpleasant mess for her owners on the living room floor - the series really couldn't have been more relatable for new puppy owners at home.

But what will the new batch of owners face?

We don't yet have a date for the new series, but we'll update you as soon as we do.

You'd have to be barking mad to miss this one.
