New Puppy on the way!

Hello everyone...its been awhile since Ive been on here. I have finally picked a puppy out and he comes home to us at end of month...cannot wait!

I figure I have at least 2 weeks to go and am in need of a shopping list! Please...any suggestions welcome from treats, food, feeding ideas, pin brushes, anything at all. I feel like I have read a zillion posts and kinda know what I need to do, but I do love lists...soo anything you wanna share with me will definetly be appreciated.

Thanks

Kongs (puppy sized)
Peanut Butter
Loads of toys (my new pup seriously has a thing for stuffies)
Collar
Leash
Brushes (I'll let the others suggest types, I started pretty basic, we're just getting used to grooming)
Training Books (?)
Various Treats
Crate (though he'll probably come with one?)
congrats on your new and coming puppy!

:clappurple: :D :clappurple: :D :clappurple:

Are you looking at dog items in general, or more specific for OES?
Congratulations!!!!! Here are my personal top 12 must have for puppy items:

1)Wire crate with divider (so it can grow with your puppy)
2) Stainless Steel food and water bowls (plastic can cause allergy problems for some dogs)
3)#1 All Systems Poodle Comb
4)#1 All Systems Pin Brush
5)small puppy collar
6)leash
7)training treats (small sized--Millie likes Bill Jacks Liver treats)
8)mild puppy shampoo (peeing on oneself is likely to happen or at least laying/stepping in it)
9)nail clippers
10)chew toys (nylabones, kongs, etc.....have a variety)
11)baby/puppy gate (for confinement when potty training and training the little shark not to nip)
12)At least one clothing item (soon your puppy will be too big and hairy to dress.....so enjoy it while you can....take and post lots of pics of this!!!)
Dawn....im looking for any and all suggestions...i'm a newbie and just wanna make sure I have what I need...so suggest away please!


Jennifer....thats a great list. My little darlin will be 11 weeks old when we get him. I purchased a medium collar....hoping that will be ok. I was thinking of a clothing item...I know what you mean when they are too big they cant use them..lol..

soo excited :)
When i was getting bloo july 2011, i had already bought EVRYTHING by january 2011! They hadnt even been born then :)
So excited for you! Be sure to buy lots of cotton and thread to repair the stuffies when they get the heads ripped off!! :p

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR NEW PUP! :yay:
The one thing that should be at the top of your list to get now, before your little demon, I mean puppy arrives is SLEEEEEEEP.

Oh and of course batteries for your digital camera and a nice big external drive to store all those photos you'll be taking and posting...

I am also getting my puppy the end of this month and had the same questions. Thank you. Where are you getting yours from? Boy or girl?
I think the necessary supplies for arrival have been covered!

Just want to say congratulations on your new puppy and encourage you to post a lot of pictures! :D
Alexia.....Im getting a beautiful boy....he is absolutely beautiful....not that they all aren't....I have been buying things a little at a time....cannot wait. The exact date I will know this week probably...waiting on airline schedules...he's coming from the Sunshine State... What about you? When is your bundle arriving?

Vance....thanks about the sleep...alot of people have told me that...

Pictures will be bountiful I am sure....I dont think I have ever seen a sheepie that didnt melt my heart.
