Thank You k9ers for all the advice on previous post, we are all so excited because on saturday we are picking up our little boy pup.(counting the days down in sleeps too)

my 4 year old daughter wants to call him apple pie ,but mean old daddy says he can,t call out that in public,

so back to the drawing board.

Just one question should we let the pup have soft teddies for comfort or will he not be able to distinguish between his and the childrens. java script:emoticon(':cheers:')

My lot have teddies in fact my greyhound William likes nothng more than to take one of his cuddlies to bed wth him he has several . It is advisable to keep your daughters teddies out of his reach and if he does get one to take it of him with a firm no and give him one he is allowed to have.

Warning though before you give your pup a teddy remove any plastic eyes, noses ect that he may pull of and swollow then stich up the holes it leaves as that will give him an easy access point for de stuffing

Personally, I wouldn't advise giving any soft toys because dogs can't understand the difference between it's soft toys and a childs. It may also be an idea to avoid balls as well. Since it will encourage the dog to chase balls it sees getting kicked around.

Not much fun having a toddler screaming as it see the dog killing it's fav tweenie (or other type) ball, never mind a fav cuddlie.

Perhaps sticking to strictly doggie toys for now would be a good idea, especially since your little one is so young.

I have to disagree about the soft toys and balls.

Both of mine have teddies galore and balls and they know the difference betwwen theirs and my daughters toys...bacause I taught them.

The same goes for kids kicking balls around at the park, they don't bother with them at all.
