Hi everyone,
I have a few questions on supplies we should have when he get our new Brittany puppy in the spring. I'm a newbie so go easy on me, lots of questions
1. Should we buy a wire-adjustable crate to grow with the puppy or buy a
few different sized plastic-styled crates?
Reason I ask is some people feel the wire ones can be hazardous to puppies as they would get their paw stuck and hurt themselves.
I would think the most economical route would be the wire-adjustable styled crate...
2. Grooming - Would a regular slicker brush do the same job as a rubber nubby one? Or would a mitt be sufficientl. I saw some at the pet store by Dogit and I wasn't sure which would be more effective.
3. Nail trimming - what's easier, the dremel or actual nail clippers? I believe Brittanys have light coloured nails so the quick would be easily located.
4. Does anyone use a harness to attach the leash for going on walks as opposed to a collar and leash for medium sized dogs?
Thanks for reading my "story" of questions...info is much appreciated!
