investment too. (Lawrence Tender Care)

| COLLAR AND LEAD
|
Collars and leads.
Relatively inexpensive but light and colorful nylon will serve you as well as a leather
set. Adjustable collar with a fast clip and a 6 foot leash. |
| FOOD AND WATER DISHES |
Steel dishes is
heavy and easy to disinfect. The plastic is not easy to disinfect. Ceramic
dishes is nice and heavy. |
| A CRATE |
Crates come in a wide variety
of styles and materials. The most important thing is to buy one that is going to be
large enough for your adult dog 20 inches minimum. Crates are not just for
puppies. The large size is room enough for my adult Cairns to be
comfortable. It makes for easy housebreaking and becomes a place you can put the dog
at times when it is not convenient for him/her to be loose in the house. |

Leather toys, latex toys, chewable toys, funny toys, Kong toys, toys, a lot of toys. |
