hello everyone
I am new to this forum. After much research, we decided to get our 11 year old daughter a Havanese for Christmas. He is all black, and we are sooooo excited. This will be a gift from "Santa" ,so she will first see him Christmas morning,We will bring him home at exactly 12 weeks of age. I read the articles and advice, and it seems crate training is the way to go for long term results. I have never trained or owned a puppy before, and am a little worried that we don't know what we are doing! More specifically, what about those first couple of days when everyone wants to hold him ,etc all day ? I would hate to have to crate him up ! ---please help me with any advice you can give- I am all ears !
Also,any cute black dog names (besides Pepper) ?
thanks!
