Tip for bringing the new puppy home

When you bring your new puppy home for the first time, It can be a stressful event for the pup. After all, everything familiar is gone. The bed he is used to, his litter mates, the smells and sounds of the breeder's place. One thing you can do is leave a stuffed squeaky toy with the breeder a week before the actual go home date. The breeder can let the puppies play with the toy and fill it with the scents of their world. The key is not to leave the toy with the litter too long or it will get more than familiar scents, It will get down right gross! The breeder will know what to do to get the desired effect. Then when you take the puppy home there is at least one thing that looks, smells, tastes, feels, and sounds familiar to comfort your new youngster.
