   Equipment

   Your puppy is going to need a room or at least a place he can call his own, and a cage or crate will fill this bill. You are better off getting one that is big enough for him to use as an adult. The pup will need food and water bowls, toys to chew on and play with, a collar and leash, a bag of a good quality dry puppy food, and plenty of newspapers or training pads. The bills are starting to add up!

   Lets see…..

   Bed
   Toys
   Food Bowl
   Water Bowl
   High quality food (seriously, dont skimp on the food)
   treats (I find meat like liver best for puppies, easy to chew, cheap and very healthy)
   Grooming kit
   shampoo
   flea treatment (probably get this from your first vet appointment though)
   a spray to stop chewing (situational but its better to be prepared)
   pee pads or a lot of newspaper
   poop scoop and bags
   carpet cleaner (its gonna happen)
   a baby gate or puppy pen (best to keep her confined at night)
   collar and leash

   I can't think of anything else, but trust me you need it all.
