Feeding
 
I recommend free feeding your little puppy. This means to make sure your puppy has food in his/her dish at all times. These puppies have very small stomachs and eat a little bit at a time.
 
When a puppy comes to a new home sometimes they can get a little stressed out. If he/she seem not to want to eat the food, add water to make food softer.
 
 

House Training
 
Your puppy is going to be very tiny when you first bring it home. I recommend waiting till the puppy is at least 12 weeks old before getting really strict on house breaking. All my dogs are keeped off the yard (ground) until they have received all vaccinations. I reccommend this is the best things to do.
When you start taking puppy to go outside (every 2hrs or when he/she wake up and when after he/she eat or drink) give he/she a command(lets go outside or lets go potty etc...)
Dog training you have to have patience to do same thing, commands over and over again.
Its will take a couple weeks to be learned.

Grooming
 
 
(Long haired)
It's best to brush your long hair puppy at least one time a day. It usually takes a couple of minutes. By letting your puppy go without brushing, your puppy's hair will mess and shaggy looking. Its good communications  for you and puppy.
 
 
(short haired)
You may simply keep it washed off with a washcloth or baby wipes are good to use. 
 
 
 
Bath
 
Long haired / short haired both may take a bath once a month.
