Any last minute suggestions??

Sunday is almost here!* We will be going to the breeders to pick out and bring home our puppy (his name will be Ares), and we can't wait!

Is there anything that I seem to be forgetting from my list of supplies?

Crate
Exercise Pen
Stainless Steel Water/Food Bowls
Food - Royal Canin MAXI Puppy (he comes home on this, so we're going to leave as is for a while)
Airtight food storage container
Leash, Collar & Tag
Grooming tools (rake, slicker brush & nail clippers)
Blankets & Towels (for crate, car rides, bathing, etc)
Soft toys, chew toys, nylabones, kongs, rope, etc
Stain & Odor Remover
Clickers

We have selected our vet and have booked his first visit
He's been signed up for puppy classes beginning just after he turns 12 weeks

We made a schedule for a typical work day that includes feedings, being let out, etc (Our whole family is helping thankfully!)

I will post photos once he arrives! :-)

Sounds like you're prepared! Well, as prepared as you can be. Stock up on sleep now.

Have you removed everything in your household that is below four feet high?

If you are picking out your own puppy, maybe read this thread?

Do you think a Volhard puppy temperament test is accurate?

have fun!!!!

Thanks! The camera will be charged and ready to go :-). Puppy proofing is being double checked tomorrow and all breakable items have been lifted!

The breeder allows us to choose our own puppy. We are 5th pick out of 6 makes so we will have 2 boys to choose from. We are going to ask for the breeders recommendation though as to which puppy would suit us best!
