Adorable!! sorry haven't got much tips except obviously don't play with it using your hands or something you don't want it playing with, only it's toys.. that's where my mum went wrong :dohh:
 
Remember to take him out after every feed/drink/sleep and play time. Only let him have his own toys, we also avoided toys that looked and felt like children teddys so the dogs/puppies did not confuse them with the childrens toys. Intoduction make sure when they are together for the first while that they are both watched constantly and that your not giving the pup all the attention otherwise your current dog may feel pushed out and get jealous (seen this first hand with my mums dogs lol). If you other dog crated? Crating can help with toileting and also stops pups destorying your house.

They are very playful but also want to please you my friend breeds them and they have always seemed lovely and good with "commands".

I wish you luck and hope he settles in nicely. It was hell for us having 1 adult GSD and 10 pups lmao but worth it with play times
 
Toilet train asap! If they go to the toilet indoors move them straight away to the place you do want them to toilet in the future eg. the garden. If when its older you don't want it to go on the sofa's ect, don't let it when it is a puppy, we used to always hold our pup on the sofa and now she just jumps all over them. Our bulldog puppy is now nearly 9 months so if you need any tips feel free to PM me! :)

He's so cute! :flower: xx
 
Awww...he's adorable! Good luck with him!
 
aww he's gorgeous! we have 2 staffordshire bull terriers, they are so loving and very smart, you will have him trained in no time :)
 
try and find some local early puppy socialisation classes, made a big difference to my girls.

I would take him to puppyy classes but it just wouldn't work having bryn whos just turned 2 with me and also my other little boy nearlly 5months, the dog would be well behaved it be Bryn going mad over all the puppies lol, and I don't have anyone to sit them either which is annoying, but we'll do plenty of walks so he meet new people and dogs of all ages and sizes once he has had his jabs
 
Aww my fave breed. I think he will settle in fine. I have a boxer cross and a 16yrold staffie lol both female. Love them x
 
Hes beautiful!!

I swear by crate training :) xx
 
I have been online this morning buying him some new toys and also our other dog lola so she doesn't feel left out. A question for anyone who has got a puppy when having an older dog, our older dog lola, her jabs aren't up todate will this effect puppy aslong as he has his? Shes had her first lot a couple of years back now, but wasn't sure if it was worth getting hers done, as it means another £70.00 almost to lay out before we get the puppy. Advice please ladies?
