It's been 17yrs since we've had a puppy in the house... My girls were 2-1/2 when I got them... so I'm sorry to say I have no answers to your questions. But I wanted to say WELCOME. There are lots of nice, knowledgeable people here and the site is a wealth of information (as stated previously, the YT search on the bottom of the page is great for searching specific info). Congratulations on your new addition

We all look forward to pictures too.
