What we need for a puppy

We are hopefully getting our puppy in the next couple of weeks. I want to know what we need, I think I know what we need but I don't want to miss something quite important.

Here is my list:
Crate
Lead
Collar
Long training lead
2 bowls
Toys
Bed
Pooper Scooper

I'm sure I have missed off loads of stuff.

She'll get plenty of that. We're so looking forward to it.

I'd say some kind of anting chew spray is a must as they love to chew everything!! Lots of poo bags ready for when you can take them out! lol! What puppy are you getting?

We're getting a rescue puppy. She is a Staffie cross Lurcher.

Food - find out what he's being fed and get a small bag of the same, even if you don't want to carry on with that brand feed it for a couple of weeks then gradually change over to your preferred brand.

Bet you can't wait - post loads of pics!!!

lots of sleep before hand!!!
I'd recommend gwen bailey's books - helpful guides as to how to train and what hurdles to expect.

how olds your rescue pup?

We have Gwen Bailey's perfect puppy. She is 13 weeks old. We have our homecheck tomorrow afternoon, so if all goes well we should hopefully have her in the next few weeks.
