- do I like dogs?
- am I happy to pay vet bills?
- is the house big enough?
- do I have the time to walk it?
- do you know that you will have to pick your holidays so your dog can come or you will have to pay to put it in kennels?
- do all the people in the house want a dog?
If the answers are all 'yes' go on to stage two 'what to buy'.
getting what you need
- bowls ( two)
- collar and lead (make sure the collar can go small)
- big fluffy toy (to snuggle up with a night)
- good tug of war toy
- good toy to throw ( balls are good)
- we have cage which you can put the dog in at night and when he is going in the car
- toy box
- brush (for coton de tulears use a poodle comb)
- harness ( good for family's that do a lot of walking)
- food but make sure it's the food that your puppy eats at the breeders
- chews
- soft bedding
- dog cutting scissors
- collar tag
- lots of dog books (go to coton de tulear books to find what books you need)
- poo bags
- puppy!
puppy care tips
- when doing a bath have lots of treats so your dog will like baths.
- give your dog a good set of food. A good but smelly way to see if he is having good food is to have a look at his poo - if it is dark brown he is having a good diet.
- Luigi is allergic to wheat. If he has it he scratches. Wheat is not good for your dog but most dogs can have it.
- you will need lots of things - look at this list and go and get them
- make sure that your dog cannot swallow a toy you buy
- do not take your dog on too long walks. We did this and we got stuck with a dog who was not allowed to play or go on walks for 2 weeks because he had a sore leg.
