Thanks so much for your welcome and advice. I haven't had a dog since 1995. Mandy was a lab/keeshound mix that we got from a shelter. She was 8 weeks old when we got her.

I have done some reading since we bought Bentley. Not sure if we did everything right in the purchase but I did speak directly to the breeder and found out the size of the litter, weight of the parents. He was very kind and offered a ton of advice on feeding, putting him in a collar, and blood sugar things. Bentley is not AKC registered but CKC. Not sure that is a good thing but I don't ever plan on showing or breeding Bentley. We saw him and we just loved him. Complete impulse buy! My 15 year old son said that if we didn't buy him, he would! He stole all our hearts.

I definately want to socialize him. We have a puppy sociallzation class that he can go to soon. We have a shitzu next door and a daschund 2 houses away. He loves meeting new people.
