heroeswit Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 So I am waiting to find out if I am definitely getting a puppy. I've been making a list of all the things I need to get for the pup and the only things that I don't already have is a crate/bed, collar, & food. I was just wondering how many people have found that they already have all the things they need or only need to get a couple of things? How prepared were/are you?

Jordan Windebank Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I have most things ordered and awaiting delivery (from Clean Run or eBay), The only things I still need to get are the puppy pen (which I'll go shopping for this week) and some food once he gets here.

I ordered everything online, and have received my final delivery today I have 14 sleeps to go and boy am I nesting What you receive from a breeder really depends on the breeder, mumof4girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I needed a few things but not a lot; crate, pen, puppy food, extra food/water bowls, collar, harness, collar tag, pavers for the dog run (which we already had), 11-22kg Interceptor. Leashes, toys, tugs, blankets/bedding, grooming gear, etc we already had plenty of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talien Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I thought I would get some food with the puppy so I could ease him into something else but after finding out the cost of what the puppies are currently on I don't blame her for not providing food, and we're to move them onto supercoat which is substantially cheaper. I only wish I was getting copies of his parents health certificates, even if they had COPY stamped all over them they would be helpful in my arty folder for the vet, though I've been assured I won't need them.

Guest donatella Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I got a blanket, a bag of food she was already on and her vaccination details. I thought that was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlowerProwler Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 We've bought almost everything. I think I spent way too much money this weekend! But in our defense we only found out we were getting him last Tuesday and he arrives this Sunday! Unfortunately we haven't been able to find a crate in this sleepy little town though so thats going to have to be ordered online. Our breeder let us know we would be getting a bag of food, but I didnt think to ask what else was going to be in the puppy pack. I guess I'll find out on Sunday. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went through the nesting stage big time. I wanted everything to be just right when she arrived. In regards to having supplies ready for her arrival, I had most of the basics here already. I just had to buy toys and boy did I buy some and some new vetbeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talien Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm personally looking forward to the nesting period being over. I look like a nut with all these puppy toys and blankets lying around... without a puppy in sight it does look a little odd. But only 2 days to go, so for now I will enjoy the nesting as it is It will end soon and I am sure I will wish I could get some sleep! Early night tonight I think!

Esky the husky Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 dwilds, is this going to be the dog you were importing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroeswit Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 @ Esky: Not any more with the government changing the import rules from Sweden I would not get the puppy until it was at least 10 months old. I'm not comfortable with that. So I am hoping for a puppy from Saffioraire Kennel if there is a suitable puppy and then I will hopefully be able to import semen from the lines I am after for a litter in the future.
