Welcome. Congratulations on your new puppy. The breeder should give you instructions on how to care for him. It is important to remember puppies take a lot of patience and time. You will want an ex pen or crate to keep him in when no one is watching him. Make sure you read about hypoglycemia and watch him for any signs of it. You can get Nutrical at Petsmart or pecto. This can save a puppies life if they should go hypoglycemic. You want to use a harness instead of a collar when walking him because they have very sensitive trachea's and you don't want to put pressure on it. Also, don't leave him up on a bed or couch as he could try and jump off and he could get hurt. I always have a firm grip on any of mine when I am holding them. I have one that like to leap out of your arms. Read as much as you can before he comes home and schedule a visit with the vet you will be using. Good luck and enjoy!
