Hi everyone! Thanks for all your advice and being so helpful! We picked up our girl today! Still to be named but I'm leaning towards Lucy! Her mum was a stray kelpie who was handed into the vet pregnant and had 7 pups! So she was fostered by one of the lovely vet nurses. She's very, very sweet but scared and unsure which is understandable. The lady who was fostering her says it'll take a few days for her to get used to us as she's shy. She doesn't have much confidence at the moment and isn't too interested in food but we'll see how she goes. I can already tell she's very smart and she's also a head tilter! Here's a pic of our gorgeous girl. Will take more soon! Any suggestions on how to deal with a shy puppy? I'm definitely going to take her to obedience classes to get her socialised once she's got a bit more confidence and trust in us. :)

Hello everyone! My family and I are very excited about the new member of our family who we will be picking up in the next few days. She is a kelpie x rescue pup, 16weeks old. We're reasonably prepared, have stocked up on toys, bed, leash, food that she's used to, etc. I've been reading up on information and it's a little overwhelming! I just want to know what you guys think is the best way to introduce her to the house and the family? Do's and don'ts? Also, crate training has popped up frequently. Is it really a good thing? Is this something you start with from the first day? When she's a older we plan on taking her to obedience classes and maybe try out agility. So a very exciting time for us, we just want to make sure everything goes smoothly as possible! Will definitely upload pictures for when she comes home! Thanks a lot!
