Waiting for New Puppy Hi everyone. I have basically been a "lurker" on this forum for over a year. I wanted to tell you all that I will be a more frequent participant because I get to pick up my new puppy on October 7th. I am adopting a female puppy from Bob Balas of Mistiblue Terriers in Rochester NY. He is an amazing breeder. His pups are beautiful and he keeps his puppies until they are 6 months old so that he can have them spayed and neutured. He likes to take care of them until their stitches are out. The puppy also comes trained to go in a paper filled litter box. He has also given me advice on how to move from this training to outside training. He is a wealth of good information so between him and all the wonderful practical advice on this forum I am sure to have a lot of help. So my Gia will be coming home in a few weeks and my 16 year old daughter and I can't wait. Any advice on what I should have on hand prepared before I bring her home would be greatly appreciated. |
congrats on your new little girl....chew toys...lots of chew toys.... a crate/ ex pen/ gate depending on if you will be confining her for training...the brand of food the breeder is feeding her....bowls, harness, leash...nutrical...thats just a few off the top of my head..I'm sure more will post with some more things |

Congratulations!! Along with the other things listed to have on hand are grooming supplies. Shampoo, conditioner, combs, brushes, bows, nail clippers, and a mustache trimmer is great for shaving ears and rears! |
why litter box? Hi! I have a question and was wondering if you may know this from your breeder. My dog came pee pad trained and although he is brilliant...at first he confused pee pads with bathmats and more...we've switched to the wiz dog...then the pup head...but of which were too bulky and hard to clean. I have since switched to litter box and put fake grass in it (made for dogs)...but it would be so much easier just to use the plastic grate I have on top of the grass (newspaper under that to collect urine) because it is such a pain to clean the grass (plus litter box, plus plastic grate) especially if poo is involved. I was wondering, since your breeder uses a litter box...does he find that the dogs do or don't get confused with carpet, bathmats...etc...seeing as that he only uses paper in the box. Is the box enough to distinguish? suzie |
Did you get your puppy from this breeder? I'm also thinking about it. |
