We picked up the Terra-Nova book called "The Toy and Miniature Poodle", but would like to read a few more books on poodle care before the puppy gets here. I have time, but I am a list maker, and we're kind of buying supplies while we wait to make the time seem like it's less, like we picked up a crate and food bowls this weekend Plus, since we are new to the world of poodles, we want to be as informed as possible and make sure we are doing our best by our dog. We know how to take care of a dog, but every breed is different

We'll be getting a mini. I was looking at the book by Shirley Kalstone, I will definitely put it on my list of must-buys.

We've already bought a few collars in gender neutral colors. I like nylon colors but prefer a leather leash. I grew up training dogs and those were the only approved ones we could have in the ring. We have thought about getting a little pen for in our kitchen, but with a crate and a pen I don't think we have enough space on linoleum.
