You can take your pup right into Petsmart or most of the other pet stores and fit your pup with a collar. Make sure that there is some growing room in it. The rule of thumb ( I do believe) is when it is buckled on, three fingers should fit comfortably between the neck and the collar. You may want to ask a clerk for some help. If you leave a collar on all the time, check it often to make sure that it doesn't get to tight around the puppy's neck. There has been many cases where a collar has grown into the neck of a dog when the collar becomes to small.

Shippo's neck is like 15 inches now, and he's a year old in a couple days. I prefer the nice, thick collars. the ones that are an inch thick are ideal for me... easy to grab and hold. >^_^< For Shippo's birthday, I'm getting him a nice, fleece-lined hemp collar from Planet Dog. The medium one. <3

Foxy had a "small" when she was a pup... at about 5 or 6 months old, I noticed it was getting tighter, and we'd let it out as far as it would go. I moved her up to a "medium" and she seems to be good with that. I think Medium fits between 13 and 17 inch necks.
Hope that helps... FoxysMommy |

I was planning on making a few stops cause it will take about 3-6 hours to get home so that the puppy didn't go to the bathroom in the car. That is why I need the collar now. That is the only reason I asked about this.

It sounds like you are then getting your new pup sooner than planned? I am with Emilie in that I would not want to take a young pup around rest areas either if it has not had all its shots. |

When we picked Chip up, we had to travel about 7 hours and he would not pee in his crate. We ended up putting a peepad in the back window for him to use. I wouldn't stop in a rest area to let a baby puppy pee either. It is too risky - some places we have stopped, I didn't even want Chip walking around there and he has all his shots. It is amazing how nasty some to the walk areas are for our dogs.

I am getting the puppy in about six months. The my breeders dog is already pregnant. I am so excited to see the darling little puppies. I am hoping I will be able to get a tri-colored Pembroke welsh corgi. Even though it is ok if I don't, as long as the puppies is a sweet heart then I will be just fine with him or her.
