Hi, good luck on your decision to get a dog or not to get a dog.
Side Note: We are water park fans too, Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels is one of our favorite.
Male dogs cost less than females, you may already know that.... to help their teeth fall out, i.e. cut the cost of vet bill.... merricks flossies are tendons that they can chew on, they do a great job at helping teeth fall out, or other safe chewing toys. Look into clinics for administering vaccines, prices seem lower even a petco. When you are ready to put clothes on him/her, check out my low prices
It is wise to name the potty deed and give treat & praise immediately following the act. When the pup is doing something he shouldn't remember to say no, and redirect.... a time out is not a bad thing when needed. I read the book Yorkies for dummies, very informative.
Take care.
