Get lots of sleep now if you're getting a puppy!!! Only joking. Well you're definately in the right place to get lots of help/advice. If your getting a JukeDoodles pup then you're in safe hands - they have posted some really fab info on here and Julia & Stephen have responded to private messages for me too.
