Ask the breeder to rub the mom with a fuzzy toy or
stuffed animal to help ease the transition for the
puppy. No matter what, always let the dog know who is
in charge by being the pack leader. Lots of affection
but most important and a mistake lots of people make
is not to exercise their dog on a daily basis. That
makes a huge difference in the dog's behavior.
Definitely get lots of chew toys! Oh, and also, if
you are getting a curly haired dog (my F1B is very
curly haired - see Shaggy's pictures) make sure you
brush them every day so they don't get matts. Good
luck and it sounds like you will be a great dog-mom.
