New pup arrives tommorow morning from germany! - Page 1

Well my poor puppy is going through a long germany through 1/2 of germany by car and then a good 8 hour flight to the United States where it will be entering a great new home. When he gets home I'll let him adjust a bit, give him some food and shelter and then I'll take a few photo's and post them on the website. I'm so excited right now! Dirk from Osterberger Land is the Breeder so I will be doing an indepth review about him after I recieve the puppy. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Dirk gave me a great puppy. Wish me luck!

Wish you luck, and keep in mind that we are waiting for the photoes, don't let us wait too long please.

Did your pup get to the USA safely? How he doing? Would love to see pics when you get around to it

:( the puppy wont arrive today, there was a snow storm last night in germany and there were traffic delays. The puppy never made it to the airport in time. It is now being held at Gradlyn Kennels for the time being until tommorow. So now the puppy will be arriving tommorow during the day. Another day of waiting!

Oh yes the weather is really not good for driving at the moment, everywere is snow
and no salt anymore
the streets are full of ice ans snow;-(
good luck for tomorrow!
regards from Germany

 It can be so frustrating waiting on an import! I went through it a year ago and now will be in a month or so (waiting for bitch to be bred). 

I hope all goes well tomorrow and that there are no more delays. What airport is the puppy coming to? 

Good luck.  Hope puppy arrives safely.  Cannot wait to see the pictures.

There's some very bad winter weather in Germany. Since the puppy is overnighting at Gradlyn Kennels the breeders did manage to drive him to near the airport, anyway, a 4 hour drive under good road conditions. He'll be well cared for by Gradlyn.

When you do finally get him, your first priority needs to be to find a spot where he can pee. That'll be his first priority, at any rate  :)  A good opportunity for you to practice the 'hurry up' command.

Give him bottled water as soon as you can. He'll be a little dehydrated from the compressed and recycled air in the plane - and the long time without water, of course. Go easy with food. In fact, were it my pup, I'd go with rice boiled in low salt/salt-free chicken broth served really wet and soupy for the first few days. You can add some pieces of boiled chicken breast if you want.

Then you can start adding whatever you've decided to feed him in small quantities over a period of several days. Give him four small meals a day for a month or more, it's so much easier on his stomach.

Your excitement is obvious and well justified. Best of luck with the little guy. What's his name?
