Which Brand of Dog Food???
The food that we are using ti feed our dogs and puppies is Diamond Hi Energy Adult Food. The dogs LOVE it!!! We only recommend using the Adult formula, not the puppy formula. Slightly less calcium is actually better for them, as their hips and joints will grow at a slower, more even pace. Growing too fast can cause hip problems, that no one wants, especially your dog. You may obtain more info on this excellent food by visiting their website, www.diamondpet.com. If you have questions about any of dogs or puppies, please let me know. Both now or after you have adopted your new bundle of joy! We're always available to answer questions. Thanks, Lisa (763) 227-8660. Or email Info@OurLovableLabs.com.
Quite often people ask me where the best place is to buy various items needed for their new puppy. One of the best places we've found, and where we purchase a lot of the supplies that we need to care for our dogs and puppies is Mills Fleet Farm. If you are in the Mid-West, there are many locations in this area that you may visit, but if not you may visit their website and still purchase items from them at reasonable prices. Another place we recommend is Revival Animal Health. This is where we, as well as most other breeders, purchase our needed medications and vaccinations. However they have a wide variety of pet and other animal supplies and you do not need to be a breeder to purchase supplies from them. Many items that you would buy from your vet's office you can actually purchase from Revival at a much lower price. They do not carry prescription items, only over-the-counter medications, etc. If you do decide to purchase from Revival, mention that we referred you!

A large or Extra Large Pet Crate. Your dog may prefer a wire crate, we really like them better as well, as your dog can see you better, and you can see him better. I think they feel less lonely when they can see you.
However, the wire ones are NOT airline approved, so be aware of that. But your dog will be able to see you better and likely feel more comfortable.
No matter which type you choose, make sure it has the following:
Superior ventilation on all sides Large: 36" x 24" x 27", holds up to 70 lb. dog for a small to medium sized female OR X-Large: 42" x 27" x 30", holds up to 100 lb. dog for a larger female or male.
There are wired crates that have dividers in them that will "grow" with your puppy and makes it easier to house-train. If you purchase one without the dividers, I recommend that you place a "Rubbermaid" type container in the back to make it smaller while house-training. If their sleeping area is too large before being fully trained, they'll often go potty in one corner and sleep in the other. You want their sleeping area just large enough so they may stand, turn around, sit and lay down comfortably. Too much space will only prolong the house-training. After your puppy is fully trained, he/she may have the full crate if you desire.Price: $60-$80 Depending on type and where purchased.
Mills Fleet Farm is where we recommend purchasing from.

This is a GREAT car harness that "plugs" right into your car's male seatbelt part. You may leave it snapped into the seatbelt and unclip it to use a leash with the harness to go for walks, etc. You may get this on eBay in x-small to x-large, and in the five colors listed below.

This high quality harness will keep your dog safely restrained and secure while riding in your vehicle, and allows your dog to sit, lay or stand comfortably.

Made of strong, durable woven black nylon with plastic quick-release buckles and heavy duty hardware.

The safety strap has a heavy-duty steel swivel clasp which attaches to the D-ring on the back of the harness, the other end of strap has the steel universal clip. The swivel action allows your pet movement while being restrained. This harness fits most vehicles from 1995 - present.

Go wireless! Keep your pet in the yard without the hassle of installing underground wire. Just plug the transmitter in an electrical outlet on your property - your garage, barn or home. Instant Fence emits a constant radio signal around your home. The wireless instant fence can be adjusted from a 5 to 90 foot radius from the transmitter, which covers a circular area of up to 1/2 acre. Completely portable and has 5 adjustable levels of correction plus beep-only mode. Kit includes transmitter, receiver with adjustable collar (6in - 28in) , 50 boundary flags, batteries, extra collar probes, adapter, training and set up instruction manual. Lifetime limited warranty. For use on dogs over 8 lbs. You can also add additional (unlimited) units to make their play area larger. Just place the boxes so the furthest ends of the two "circles" overlap slightly, canceling out that section of the circle, thus allowing them to enter the second circle.
