So first off, for all the forum gestapo types that want to call me out for not doing my own research, sometimes I just like the interaction of having my own thread to talk to people and share ideas.
Expected to bring home Cane Corso puppy mid-December (female if that makes a difference). So equipment I have so far is a 42" crate with a middle divider that I just so happened to still have in storage from my black lab pup about 7-8 years ago. Other than that, I've got no puppy supplies and I'm trying to stay on a decent budget (in other words don't mind buying quality stuff but don't want to spend money on junk puppy won't use).
So let me here your ideas and I really like shopping on amazon so feel free to give me links. Off the top of my head I know I need to get:
1. Chew toys I can leave in crate with puppy and not worry about her choking and dying.
2. steel dog bowls - do I get puppy sized ones I assume to start for a 10 week old?
3. toe nail clippers
4. tooth brushing supplies
I'm not really looking for recommendations on the obvious items like leash, collar, dog tags and all that. And as far as food I'm doing exactly whatever my breeder tells me so don't need all the hot sports opinions on food.
I really enjoyed this breeder's article and some of her recommendations:

That's the kind of things I'm going for on this thread.
