Congrats! i also recently got two pups but they were 14 and 16 weeks old. At that age they were easy to potty train and we were able to leave them home for 5 hours at the most in there crates before we need to take them out. and if they were out of there crate they needed to go out every 2-3 hours. So my first sugestion is wait until they are 10-12 weeks old. Or atleast 8 weeks at the very youngest. Second is get a crate and crate train him as soon as possible. this will make potty training pretty easy. Ok and i agree with the others you should stay at home the first week or atleast a couple of days. if not possible he will probably bond with you the fastest. He should be fed 3-4 times until he is 2-3 months. and he will need to go out every couple of hours so if you have any dog lover neighbors you should make them your new best friends. AS for the crate you will want one that is about 28X21X20 but when your puppy is young yoy will want to put something in it so he has just enough room to standup, turn around, and laydown. that way he wont soil in his crate. hope this helps. you can e-mail me if you have anymore questions...

Welcome aboad and once again, congats!
