hi all,
Am bringing home an eight week old puppy from the breeder's next week. I've never had a dog before and am not really sure what needs to be done before bringing him home. Was just wondering what everyone else did before you brought your dogs home - any useful tips or anything you wish you'd done?
I live in a single-storey house with a big garden. I've made sure the garden is fenced pretty well, but don't really know what else to do.
The puppy is a Great Dane/Doberman/Lab cross.
Thanks inn advance
