    Ahh brilliant you are all prepared, we have nothing really yet !!

    We have bowls as Kias were new so we held on to them. Going to pick up a crate during the week, got an XL so it will be massive for him to begin with but will last all his life rather than be having to buy two.

    We have a cat too :D

    Where did you get collar from ? I'm not atall sure what size to go for so maybe wait til we have him and I can measure his neck.

    If you have a B&M bargains nearby they do puppy pads cheap, we don't read the newspapers so going to have to buy them... although we have some human 'pads' (the ones that go on the mattress) left over from an elderly relative who was bedbound in his last few months so will make use of them first! Money saving :)

    I've got an Ancol puppy collar in the smallest size - it'll last him for at least the first 6 months. I have an assortment of Ruby's old collars and leads, but they're all red and won't suit his colouring :rotfl:. I don't usually use a collar in the house as it breaks the coat on long-haired breeds. And he's so tiny his ID tag would really get in his way.
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.

    Yeah Kia got her collar taken off at home so puppy will probably be the same.
    So excited to get him, think I am going to stick with his raw food diet as this is what he is going to be weaned on, his breeder feeds raw and said she will give me all the help I need and come with me to the supplier first few times so I know what to be ordering.

    Thanks, picking a crate up on Monday then will get other bits and bobs over the next few weeks.

    Getting crate off a fb selling site for £30, very good as it's an XXL and they retail new at about £80... money saving indeed.
