Thank you for your response. This puppy is definitely NOT a Christmas present. It is for myself and I know I am being specific for pick up time - as I would like to pick it up at the beginning of my 3 week vacation. That way I can spend 3 weeks to ensure the transition goes well and to start training the pup and introducing it to my other 2 dogs. I will be crate-training the puppy so that by the end of my three week vacation my other dogs will be used to it (and it used to them) and I can leave it in a crate within the kitchen area, while I go back to work. I can't pick up the puppy if I'm not on vacation.
