Default RE: Sorry but More puppy questions

Two things I always try to stress to my puppybuyers are:

1. Crate training; there's a pretty good book called "How to Housebreak Your Dog in Seven Days" by Shirlee Kalstone. Dirt cheap on Amazon. I don't know about the 7 days part, but it's a good guide to crate training.

2. Socialization; that's really important. I would suggest taking him to a puppy kindergarten class. I feel the socializtion is important enough that I have taken all our dogs thru the class. I could teach the class, but go strictly for the socialization.

Good luck with your new puppy!

Oh, and about what Doc E said about the breeder........ Doc E is WAY too polite.
