Tash & Nick...how wonderfully exciting that you will be getting your new baby here soon. Justin and I picked our little boy up 2 weeks ago from the breeder, and I couldn't imagine life without him. I have to say, finding this forum has been a true blessing. All of the support, ideas and shared excitement feel like a part of a big corgi family.
Our little Huw is now 11 weeks old (and growing so fast) and he has a number of toys. Honestly, he plays with all of them.
He has a Nyla-bone that he chews on instead of me, but he really likes it when I hold the other end.
He has a squeaky fleece Hippo toy that he love to chew on, and just recently he figured out how to make it squeak on his own.
My mom and dad got him some little stuffed toys that he can't get enough of, and every night when I come home, they are soaked (with dog slobber). He just found a rather large stuffed eagle in my closet, and has since been hauling that around (it's almost bigger than him), and this morning I took down the stuffed golden retreiver for him to cuddle with (it's about 2x bigger than he is).
Last night we had fun playing fetch with his ball, which was the first time he could pick it up on his own.
Dang...sounds like our dog needs a freakin' toy box!
Oh, he also has a "frisbee" (aka tupperware lid) that he and Justin play with, but that he like to chew on too.
He hasn't destroyed anything or ripped anything apart, but I have to cut all the tags off, as that's the first thing he goes for on any of his stuffed animals.
And his final toy is his purple football kong that I fill with peanut butter in the mornings when Justin and I are both at work. He loves that, and I'm sure it keeps him occupied for a while.
So that is what my 11 week old puppy likes. But like everyone said, each dog is different. Mine seems to think that anything you give him is his, and for the most part, he stays away from what isn't.
Oh, and for the food, we feed Canidae all stages food...he loves it. It's what the breeder fed, so it was just as easy to keep him on it. Our local Feed Barn sells it 40lbs for $30.00.
Good luck with your little girl. have you picked out a name yet? do you know which one is yours? I'm so excited for you, and can't wait to share in your puppyhood.
Monica
