So after searching for some time, I have found a breeder who has a 1 yr old who apparently has grown a few inches above the standard. He will be coming to our home after showing a few more times in March. As I am getting ready I am looking for ways to provide some "in home" entertainment. There is a huge array of puzzle toys available and to a human they all look absolutely cool, but before I waste a lot of cash, I'd love to get some input on some of your B's favorite objects. He will be out running with us as we plan to see if he would like to do some Cani-cross, but I like to keep the mischief down by providing some alternatives. Thanks!

Ha ha ha!!!! I am struggling with the wait for my new boy. I almost called the breeder today to see if I could just drive down and see him, but I don't want to be a pain in the neck either!

Thank you all for your great advice. As it turned out I was laid low with the flu, so a lot of my preparation was not complete. All my worry was really for nothing. Pocket Rocket came home, was promptly terrified by the cats, and has avoided the litter box fairly consistently. I put the cat food up on a counter, problems solved. She is a great dog so far, and even after less than 24 hours at home, I found she and the cats all laid out in the sun together on the back porch...
