Thank you everyone. We got the puppy yesterday and named him Shadow.
We took him to the vet and he had fleas so she gave him some stuff. I think it's cleared up though now (she said it would be by today)
Also they gave him a pill for worms and are gonna give him one more next month just in case.
They gave him his first shots (most likely) yesterday and he can't go for walks or meet other dogs just because they said the first one didnt' do much.
Also we can't wash/brush him till Friday because of the flea stuff.
Other than that he is quite good.
Any suggestions on yapping?
He is on a cable (simply because we don't want him to run away) and because we haven't completely fixed up the fence yet. It is pretty good but there are some parts where he could get out (that we have to fix)
Everytime he can't reach us though he starts barking and I say "SHUSH!" and if he doesn't stop then I go over and say it again and hit him on the nose (not hard enough to hurt him or anything)
By then he stops but 2 minutes later he is barking again. Will he grow out of it? Or is there anything else I can do?
I know some people don't agree that I got the dog, but I'm glad a few people don't see it as a crime.
