* Food and water dsh
* Crate
* I.D tag
you need a lot of chew toys, food, and a food and water bowl, a leash, collar, bed, cage(optianl),
*Collar(s) – you’ll usually need one that can adjust while they grow, then a more appropriately fitted collar once they hit adulthood. You may also want a collar and a harness.
*Leash(es) – again, many people prefer one 6′ long leather leash and one retractable leash.
*Food/Water bowl

the name of a reputable vet in your area. This is very important, I’ve ran into vets that I wouldn’t sent stuffed toy animals to.
A collar of course, a harness in case the dog likes to pull, dog bowls, leash, dog food, a kennel, depending on the room in the backyard you can get a runner which is wire like and hangs from two poles or trees or whatever height you can tie it on and has another that hooks onto the collar or harness and allows the dog to run without getting loose, if the dog develops a biting proble youll need this spray that has a bitter taste to it and discourages them from biting, dog shampoo and conditioner (preferrably oatmeal for healthy skin and coat) double-bristled brush, plenty of chew toys in different materials like hard rubber, soft rubber, squeaky toys(they excite dogs lol) and the toys that go in the freezer for when they start teething, but rope ones can be dangerous because the ropes can get tied in the dogs stomach if they eat it, same with cowhide, dog treats for training, baby gates if you cant teach them to stay out of a certain room during training, and a toothbrush, a vet with a good reputation, a groomer if you choose to use one, an emergency kit, nail clippers, puppy pads if you want…I think thats just about it

Hi the things you need are a bed and someone to love him/her
also you’ll need food and clean water. Some care less person would give there dog dirty water. you’ll also need a place where him/her could run around and be safe. you’ll need a hair bush and some dog soap. Also him/her will need some toys so him/her will be happy. A place he/she could do her business. A leash could be helpful to. Most of all he needs love and attention.
collar
leash ( a thick one so it wont tear on walks)
i.d. tags
food and water bowls
dog food
toys (a ball, rawhides or something similiar to teeth on)
treats (mainly for training)
dog crate
a comb or brush (possibly depends on how much you will want to groom it, will help with shedding)
dog shampoo
flea treatment (get a vet recommendation on brands)
you will need:
Practically indestructible toys ie.Kongs, plastic bones
Lots of puppy pads if its a puppy
A large crate (for dicapline or sleeping your choice.)
The apropriate food
A dependable leash and collar
1. You need time to spend training and socializing your dog. A lonely/ bored dog is a nuisance and can be destuctive.
2. You need a savings account with at least $500.00 to help cover any emergency veterinary care.
3. You need a good veterinarian that you feel comfortable talking to and asking questions, and is good with your dog.
4. You need a good quality set of nail clippers, and you need to be instructed in their use and use them often, so your dog is not "nail sour", a horrible trait in any dog.
5. You need to be commited to your pet, through thick or thin, sickness or health, rich or poor. You should never expect your dog to be a disposable commodity, but a lifelong commitment.
6. You will need patience and a sense of humor. Dogs, no matter how much we endow them with human qualities, are animals and do not function on the same level of consciousness as we humans do. Be prepared for mistakes and difficulties, but remember the good far outweighs the bad.
