Sooky

Thanks everyone great advice .

Hi was wondering how people set up their puppies crate previously we would put bed in one end and newspaper/puppy pads at the other then eventually remove the paper/pads when pup could go all night. Is this what most of you that use a crate would do or should it just be a bed thats in there?

Wow thanks everyone for the replies looks like a few of you are recommending the Rogz so will have a look at them. Ish - so so cute how old is your pup in these pics? What size so you think I should get or would I be better waiting for pup to come home and try them on him? (Can you get them in pet shops?)

Pup is German shepherd.

My first thought after reading that was - surely this person is at the wind up and cant honestly be serious!!! what an idiot

What do people find the best to use on a new puppy i.e. buckle collar and lead, martingale collar and lead, slip lead or something else? Thanks in advance

Naomi - OMG archer is gorgeous puppy he looks so soft and cuddly, love the name too. Fenstar - Your pup too is a real cutie. Keep the pics coming their all so lovely.

Saw our pups last night they were all gorgeous, still not decided which one we want its between the two in these pics Sorry quality is not that great had to resize them to upload them.

Aww Koda is a real cutie glad he is settling well for you. We are going to see our pup for the first time tonight at 6.30pm so excited will put up picks if we're allowed to take some.

tanteNdut - bobbie is lovely pic of him on his back is fab. Aannie - well by now you'll have your little pup with you how exciting hope you have a good first night with him look forward to seeing some pics. Huga - I really think sid is the cutest puppy I have ever seen can't wait for more pics once you get him home. 2 more days and we'll see our little boy for the first time

SmoothieGirl - your dogs are gorgeous I'd never heard of a smooth collie before either really like the look of them . jrm88 - What lovely pics of leo he looks a real sweetie .

Naomi - they were 4 weeks yesterday so nearly 5 when we'll see them we changed our minds from getting a female so now have the pick of 2 boys I think. Love your daughters name choice . Nadine83 - i was wondering if we'd be allowed to take pics don't really see why we wouldn't so will def put some up .

We finally get to go and meet our puppy for the first time on Friday we're so so excited . Dxenion - your pup is gorgeous I'd never heard of a Swiss Shepherd Dog before they look lovely.

20th March for us we've not seen our puppy yet ;) breeder doesn't want anyone visiting until they are 4-5 weeks old so only see some pics of the whole litter, when did everyone else get to visit their pup??

SmoothieGirl - he is gorgeous you must be so excited to have him home, we've still got another 5 weeks to wait :D.

Still seems ages until we get our pup but I couldn't resist buying some things today bowls, bed and some toys. Here some pics received today of pups (don't know which one we're getting yet).

Glad you asked this CP I just presumed you had to vac yearly and have always done so with our previous dogs. Very interesting thread glad I read it .

Huga- he's so so cute you must be so excited. I love your name choice I think it suits him.

Heard from our breeder today and she now has a male pup available and still possibly the female we had wanted originally so can now have our pick depending on whether she keeps the female or not. I am actually coming round to the idea of have a male instead now even if she doesn't want to keep the female. Anyway just had to share with you guys cause I'm so excited to know we'll be getting one :D.

Hi, I have heard that puppies shouldn't be taken for long walks when they are little, so I just wondered how long a walk should they get at first and when do you start increasing the amount of time?? Thanks in advance :D .

Great pics everyone loving them keep them coming x

Jakemon - Tess is absolutely gorgeous and great pics of the tiger and giraffe i love photography. We are waiting to hear if we are getting a GSD pup but it all depends whether the breeder decides to keep one or not so I have everything crossed she doesn't lol!! Can't wait to share some pics when we finally get our pup.
