Hi :)

Hi everyone
Just thought I'd register and introduce myself. I'm almost the very proud owner of a very cute little black and white staffy puppy. Been waiting almost a year to find the right puppy and so happy to say we'll finally be bringing him home on the 8th September. Can not wait I'm sure I'll have lots of questions over the coming weeks/months.
We haven't decided on a name for the little mite yet, any suggestions?

I really can't.I'm so excited, especially since looking through the gallery's on here.

And that was one of the questions I was going to ask. I went to our local Jolley's petstore yesterday and picked a few things up for him. We got a crate off my mum and dad what they got for there Staffy quite a few years ago. It's never been used since he was a rescue dog and completely freaked every time he saw it. So I was wondering what other sorts of things I should do to prepare our house for his arrival lol.

You should also have plenty toys which should include a stag bar and kong, a blanket to place over the crate, a collar and lead for him to get used to as well as any food or bowls he will need.

We got bowls, blankets, a cushiony bed and thing lots of toys yesterday and quite a few stuffed animal type things, not expecting the teddy's to last very long but the breeder said it can help them to feel more secure. We got a stag bar.
Sorry to sound really stupid but what is a Kong? can you buy them in most pet shops?
We bought the lead but no collar as I wasn't sure what size to get, I was going to ask the breeder tonight.

A kong is a hard plastic (I think) type of toy that can be stuffed with food or treats. They last a long time and if frozen are great for teething. They are available in all pet shops. At that age you should find a collar that is adjustable so he can grow while the collar still fits.

Just thought I'd post a picture of little Conan. We went to see him last night, forgot to take my camera but the breeder sent me a photo

Aw

Hi & welcome to the forum

Arrrr so cute

oh so cute
did you lend a blanket to your breeder so he can have something that smells like home?
do you have gates or a puppy pen or a way to confine him in a part of the house where it is easy to clean up? We did crate-training but had an enclosure in our kitchen as well.
LOTS of chew toys I am a fan of antlers but I know many people on this site like Stag Bars.

Conan is stunning
A belated welcome from me, Maska and Loki
