Getting ready to pick up the new puppy at 10 weeks of age. In the meantime, I've been buying the necessary items.
In my earlier thread I mentioned that she will be outside during the day while we are at work. We have 2 acres but, per the recommendation of a poster here, she will be kenneled in about 300 square feet until she is larger. We live in a really safe area with dogs everywhere so theft is not a huge threat.
She will arrive with her full first round of shots. To facilitate her outdoor life during the day, I bought a dog house and an external heater/air conditioner, so she will have a climate controlled retreat during the day.
In the evenings and weekends she will be with us and in crate training until housebroken.
Anything else I should consider?
