Terrier Puppy

Would should i do to prepare for my Jack Russell Terrier puppy?
okay. so tomorrow after school i am going to get a Jack Russell Terrier pup.
and i have never had a puppy.
so what do i do?
lol. i know i am ready i just need some advice.
since its a puppy should i get it some
and what else should i do to prepare?
oops.
up there i meant to say:
since its a puppy should i get its some puppy formula/special food
btw. its a very small puppy.
just turned 6 weeks.
and it will be mostly an inside dog.
There's a lot to prepare!
Step 1: Find services in your area. You're going to need a vet, and if there is a puppy/obedience class in your area sign up for it. It's a great place for socialization and it will help you learn to get your puppy to listen to you.
Step 2: Have a schedule. When are going to feed her? When are you going to walk her? Keep in mind that puppies can't hold it for too long - a two-month old puppy can hold it for about three hours MAX. Also figure out where her crate is going to be. I recommend keeping it in your room.
Step 3: Puppy-proofing! Puppies are like toddlers and investigate with their mouths. Get down on your hands and knees and look at the world from a puppy's point of view. Pick small objects up off the floor, secure loose wires out of the puppy's reach, push items back from edges of tables and shelves. If you have bookshelves or something similar, take books off the bottom shelf. Look at everything and ask yourself what your puppy might possibly able to chew.
Step 4: Supplies. There's a whole lot of things you'll need - I'll make a list for you.
Crate - Crates are essential with housetraining and keeping your puppy out of things if you can't watch him. The crate should be just big enough for him to stand up, turn around, and lay down in. If it's bigger, he will potty in one end and sleep in the other. If you don't want to have to replace crates as he grows, buy a crate divider.
Food - Avoid Iams, Purina, Pedigree, Ol' Roy, Science Diet, and similar. Some great brands are Canidae, Innova, Evo, Wellness, Eagle Pack, Solid Gold, and Taste of the Wild. Though most are on the expensive side, it will keep your puppy happy and healthy. And, yes, look for puppy formula (except if you get Canidae).
Treats - You'll need treats for housetraining, crate-training, and pretty much everything you can think of. You can either get commercial dog treats or use small pieces of deli meat, cheese, or cracker. Rip big treats into small pieces so they don't fill her up as quickly.
Toys - Give the puppy some toys of her own so she doesn't rip up your furniture! I recommend Kongs - they can be stuffed with kibble and are very entertaining for most dogs. Bones are great too. Stay away from rawhide, as it can be pretty bad for them.
Brush - You'll want to get a dog brush of some sort to keep her coat free of burrs, mud, and tangles.
Food/Water Dishes
Leash (not the retractable kind)
Collar (just a plain one, not choke, pinch, etc)
Bed - To go in the crate; look for a tough one she won't chew up.
Lint brush/Lint roller - Trust me, you'll need it!
I think that's everything - I may be forgetting something, though.
Good luck with your new puppy! Feel completely free to email me if you have questions or need help with ANYTHING.
Add: Where are you getting this puppy? Please, please, PLEASE ask the breeder to keep him for another two weeks - puppies NEED to stay with mom until eight weeks. If not, they may develop behavior problems in the future due to lack of early socialization with mom and siblings.

Parson Russell Terrier Puppy And Dog Information
The Parson Russell Terrier or better known as the Jack Russell Terrier, is a small happy dog that loves to play and hunt. They were bred as fox hunters so they need to be extensively socialized with other pets. They may fight with other dogs but they were pack animals at one time so this trait depends upon the line and individual. They need a lot of exercise so a properly fenced in back yard designed for escape artist digging dogs is best. They need to be under control when outside because they may take off after a scent or adventure. They are generally good with active kids. As a reminder, never leave a child unsupervised with a puppy or dog.
*Approximate Adult Size. The approximate adult size (two years old or older) of the Parson Russell Terrier is 12 to 14 inches to the withers (highest point of the shoulder) and 14 to 18 pounds. The female ranges from to inches to the withers and to pounds.
*Special Health Considerations. Most dog breeds have certain inherited health problems associated with that specific breed and the Parson Russell Terrier is no exception. Be on the look out for inherited eye diseases, dislocated knee caps and deafness. This disease list is an informative guideline only. Other diseases may also be significant threats, please contact your veterinarian for a complete list.
She should visit the veterinarian several times in the first year for shots, boosters and check up. Then, as an adult, she should visit the veterinarian yearly for shots and check up. As she gets older, six years and on, she should visit the veterinarian twice a year for check ups and shots. Remember; avoid feeding your dog sweets.
*Grooming. The Parson Russell Terrier has a smooth or broken double coat being short, dense and harsh with little or no hint of kink. She should be brushed regularly. Brushing will help her maintain a clean and healthy coat, help you keep a closer eye on her health and strengthen your emotional bond with her.
Her teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar which can cause cavities (rarely) and periodontal disease. Dog periodontal disease can lead to pain, loss of teeth, bad breath and other serious disease.
Her toenails may need to be examined for growth and clipped regularly. The toenails of the rear feet grow slower than the toenails of the front feet.
*Life Span. The Parson Russell Terrier can live between 12 and 14 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions.
*History. The Parson Russell Terrier comes from Great Britain, the south of England to be exact, where they were used for hunting the European Red Fox, sometimes in packs. They were first registered by the American Kennel Association in 1998.
