A crate is a safe place for a pup and was a must on my shopping list. And a really good quality puppy food. You will replacing the collar a few times as they grow. Tip is now six months old and we on collar number 3. Have fun shopping Smile

Don't buy little beds - buy them for the size the puppy will end up being! We have a garage full of little beds Laughing

Crates are brilliant, a safety den for you and pup! Prior to Molly and Watson I hadn't used them but I wouldn't be without one going forward with a puppy.

You must be soooooo excited! ! Can't wait to see pics Smile
