My family had a lovely lab growing up, and we had so many good times together. One year ago I bought my own house so finally I'm in the position to get a dog of my own. Margot the black lab will be joining me as a puppy in the new year. I'm picking up various things in preparation for her arrival, but I welcome all recommendations on things like collars, leads, favourite puppy toys (so far plan on picking up various food dispenser Kong toys). Plus if there is anything looking back you would recommend to someone/ or yourself with a young dog let me know. I will be taking her to puppy training classes (partly so I can learn more) but I'm trying to read up as much as I can before she arrives.
