	Long eared breeds tend to get ear infections easier than prick eared dogs so you'll need to beware and check ears frequently for bad odor..redness...itching...tilting head to one side. If you bathe your dog...put cotton balls into both ears and try to keep water out as much as possible. There is an awesome product called Vet's Ear (or other drying products) to put into the ear to clean them that helps keep them healthy.

	Hound nails grow insanely fast, so play with Snoopy's feet a lot to get him used to having them handled for nail trims! Try to get him used to both clippers and a nail grinder

	Dogs with long ears tend to get ear infection more often than those with erect ears. Any sign of redness needs to be dealt with right away. Itching the ears is often a sign of infection, too. So is tilting the head to one side or another. Be careful when bathing. Put a cotton ball in each ear to keep the water out. I recommend cleaning his ears at least once a week, or more, with a solution called Vet Solutions Ear Cleansing Solution for Dogs and Cats.

	I concur, puppy nails grow incredibly fast. Cut them once a week to keep them trimmed.

	Get his puppy vaccines done, feed a good quality puppy food, brush him several times a week, clean his ears out whenever you brush him, don’t bathe him too much, spend at least half an our per day playing with him, be consistent in training, keep his weight down, look out for hypothyroidism, and be prepared to spend a good 12 years with your baby! Also, make sure he gets plenty of time outside, keep him in a securely fenced yard, don’t leave him alone for too long, and be prepared for him to mouth everything!
