There is no straight forward answer to your question. Its a combination of your lifestyle and your puppy. Understand the characteristics of your puppy and the activities to suit him. Love your dog like a child and the affection you get in return is enorm. Give him lots of love.

The perfect home for your puppy, will be with you ... however you might want to puppy proof it a little before you bring the little one home with you.
Like make sure all your shoes are tidied away & out of temptation, that where possible, all cables are tidied away & hopefully out of reach, that any house plants are placed up high & that all things at eye level to a pup are likely to be safe for him or her. I'd also make sure that the garden or yard was pretty much escape proof ... though I'd plan on being outside with the puppy each time it went out.
I'd get in a supply of newspapers (or something), some disenfectant, a spray carpet or upholstery cleaner - just in case of accidents.
I'd have a bed all sorted out for him or her ... whether or not a bought one or just one made out of a cardboard box, lined with blankets. I'd have two new food bowls & a steel water bowl. I'd have contacted the breeder to find out about what he's eating & have a supply of food ready for him. I'd have visited the pet shop & bought him some toys ... at least one of which would be a chew toy to help him while he teeths (so that he doesn't use my shoes or something else instead). I'd have also bought a little brush & a little collar (if I knew his size) & a leash/lead.
I'd have booked holiday or arranged it so that she wouldn't be alone during her first week at home & probably read some internet sites or books about puppy training & puppy socialisation. I'd have found out where my nearest vet was & possibly registered with them & asked them for any leaflets or packs that they had about puppies.
I'd also be extremely excited now, anticipating the puppy's arrival. Ooh, I do hope you have fun.
And, this website looks pretty comprehensive - it's about bringing your new dog home & some of the advice applies equally well to puppies:

If you have a search then there is lots of advice out there.

First off, plan on getting a crate/kennel. House breaking will be so much easier and there will be much less destruction (chewing) if you crate train your pup from day one. Also, God forbid it ever happens to you, but in case of an emergency evacuation, if your dog is used to being crated, it will make things much smoother!
Make sure your pup sees the vet frequently in the first few months for appropriate vaccinations, and check with your vet for other suggestions.
I liked the suggestion of crawling around to see what your pup might see - cords are a huge temptation for chewing! And if you have a pup that can open cupboard doors/drawers, you may need childproof latches.
Good luck and enjoy!

Borzoi are very energetic but like a typical sighthound can have two speeds stop and go they love to be with their owner in all things a sensitive breed that is all about its people and they do swim werent bred for it but do swim and they probably would be ok in your room due to the coat. Springer spaniel might also be an option or a flat coated retriever curly coated retriever Chesapeak bay retriever all of these dogs would have the energy to keep up with you and some were built for the water literally. the curly coated retriever is low shedding. and they will be fine lazying about to just watch the retrievers with food as they can be gluttons (much like yourself) and you dont want them to get bloat or hip problems. buy from a reputable breeder through the breed club or rescue through the breed club rescue. good luck

Make sure she has plenty of water and food, if you plan on leaving food down all day. Crawl around the area you are keeping her and make sure there's nothing that you don't want her going into or anything harmful to chew on. Make sure she has a comfortable place to stay. Good luck, and have fun with your puppy!
