Hi Guys
The new addition to the family is arriving in 9 days time I simply can not wait for her to arrive. :D :D :D
I have been reading past puppy posts and I was wondering if there was any information tips help you can give me, or any good web sites to read up on before she arrives.
We have already been looking at some cages bed and spaniel bowls also some toys but not really sure what toys to get her food etc any help would be appreciated.
Cheers James ;)

Good luck with your new arrival :D If you have a good read of the threads on this board and also in our FAQ section, you'll find all the info you need and more :D Your breeder should be able to advise you on food & supply you with a diet sheet - most good breeders also give their puppy buyers a small bag of food so you can keep her on the same food she is used to for the first week or two (to avoid upsetting her tummy)
Here are two books on puppy training you might want to invest in and read before your pup comes home:
"The Perfect Puppy" by Gwen Bailey
"Complete Idiot's Guide To Positive Dog Training" by Pamela Dennison

You must be soooo excited,good luck and count the sleeps till Izzy comes home ! We have only had Tilly for a week and she is well settled and adorable.She loves playing with an empty small water bottle,lid screwed on tightly with a couple of bits of uncooked pasta in !! Like a babies rattle,we tied some rope round the top so she could pull it along or push it with her nose.......Also cardboard loo rolls or kitchen rolls.My hubby made her a small tugger out of some rope too !! Not that we are tight but you don't need to spend toooo much on toys. Enjoy :D xx
