Hello All,
I have been lurking for a while. We chose our puppy at the breeder this past weekend. He will be coming home on 5/24/08. We can't wait!! He's an Australian Multigen. He'll be a large mini at probably 25-28 lbs and eventually a spiral fleece. Does anyone have any recommendations of what size plastic crate to buy? Mom is 17" and I'll think he'll p[robably be about the same.

I'm also struggling with how to choose a vet. Does anyone have any tips? If there is anyone here from North Jersey that could recommend a vet, that would be great.
Here is a pic of my new boy...."Vegas":

Hi

Where in NJ are you? We are in Monmouth County.

I would ask around your town (and maybe co-workers) for vet recommendations. We use the vet at Petsmart (Banfield) and am happy with them...however I've heard it really varies from one Banfield to another.

Yeah, I've heard that some Banfields are great and others leave little to be desired, but we use the Banfield near us and wouldn't consider going anywhere else. The vet, techs, and Office Manager there are SO great and I think they love my dogs as much as I do. I have complete faith in their services.

Good luck with the pup!

We go to a wonderful vet in Mendham. Not sure if that is too far from you, though. Let me know.
Congratulations!!!!

 

[TNVOL]

Thanks Linda.
Mendham would be a little far. We are in Livingston.
