I would focus on more than just "what should i have." Think about what needs to be DONE, too. 1) Supplies: you should have all the supplies you need for your new puppy, and have them set up, prior to bringing him home. That way you won't be rushing around buying things or getting things ready that day. The puppy likely won't be able to go to the store with you unless he's had all vaccinations, and he doesn't really need the added stress that running around may cause him. I would suggest having a crate (proper size - you can get an adult size with a divider so you can adjust it as he grows), bowls, poop bags, some food (unless you're getting some from the breeder), one kind of treat (one at a time so you can see if they upset his stomach), and some toys. Old torn up blankets for the crate are a better idea than an actual bed, as you can expect plenty of accidents. Blankets can be tossed easily. You may also want to invest in some sturdy baby gates if you plan to block off rooms. 2) Puppy proof your home. Remove any cables or wires the puppy can reach. Pick items up off the floors and low tables. Make sure there's nothing breakable within the dog's reach. Maybe sure there's nothing edible as well (remember that ANYTHING is edible to a pup.) 3) Decide the rules. It's much easier to train a dog if rules/boundaries/consequences are already set and agreed upon. If the dog won't be allowed on the couch, then everyone must enforce that rule. It doesn't hurt to write the rules out and post them on the fridge. It also doesn't hurt to designate who does what if you're not the only one in the household. If your dog will be kept in one area or out of certain areas, decide that as well. Figure out how to block access. 4) Schedule a vet examination: I would schedule a vet exam for within 24-48 hours of bringing him home. That way you can verify his health and get his vaccination records sent over and noted. it's also a good idea for the first vet exam with you to be as stress free and fun as possible. Much better to visit for "nothing" than only going for jabs. 5) Research. Do a lot of research, particularly on training. There are many methods out there and not all of them will work. Puppy pads, for instance, are a BAD idea because they encourage indoor elimination - instead figure on bringing the pup out every hour or so or at certain times (like after eating or playing.) Pick up a few books or google info and read.

As a siding installer of many years, I have seen the simplest problems develop into major problems, through neglect. This weekend, take a walk around your house. Look for rotten wood, cracked caulk, blistering paint, or discolored walls. Pay particular attention under windows, and around doors. Fixing these problems now with a $5.00 tube of caulk, may save you thousands by next year.
