We pick up our gorgeous little tri-colour boy in just over three weeks - I am so excited!!! I have started to get things that I need. So far I have:
Plastic Bed
Vet bed
A nice soft bed/cushion (He can choose what he prefers then!)
Crate
Collar
Lead
Selection of toys
Bowls
Old towels for drying after walks etc..
I need to get a brush and some shampoo, any recommendations on what ones to get of these.
In terms of food, I am going to see what the breeder uses so he isn't put onto a different diet straight away, but long term what would be the best to go for?
Treats: What are the best treats/chews etc. for cavs, and at what stage can you start introducing them?
I know I sound like a novice, and in effect I am, I grew up with Golden Retrievers, but was never their prime carer, this is a big responsibility so I want to make sure I do right by our little fella!
One more opinion, he has a name that the breeder gave him, we had originally come up with a different name. He will be about 4 1/2 months when we get him so will be used to what he is being called, do you think we should keep that name, or could we still change it.
Thanks so much for all your help - I know you are the experts!!! h*lp
