don't forget to get the dog food! no, don't worry about it, there's nothing to it, it'll be a blast

how old will your puppy be?

you know not to take it anywhere except the vets - no walks - no visitors, untill he has completed ALL his vaccines which is usually about 16 weeks.

did the breeder tell you not to give him puppy food? he should be on adult food & if this is a good breeder probably already is.

you will need to get him out at least once during the nite.

do you have a proper crate with a divider for him yet?

have you started investigating various OB trainers to see where you want to take him when he is old enough

doglover - puppies are a LOT of work, they are not just for fun. sounds like your parents did all the hard stuff

Don't much knowledge about St. Bernards, but I hope this sites could help somewhat:

St. Bernard Dogs Profile. St. Bernard Puppy tips and info on Breeders, Rescues and St. Bernard dogs for sale. Includes St. Bernard Pictures.

and

Good luck, keep us updated.

thanks for all the information guys, i really appreciate it.


another quick question, is it still safe to have him around my other dog even though he won't have but one set of his shots yet?
im worried about that...

doesn't your "other" dog have all his shots? did you read my previous post?

yeah i read your post, but i guess i didn't read it good enough
sorry

and yes my other dog has all of his shots.
