congratulations and welcome to the board.
i have a 18 month old male leo.as for bedding get a hard plastic bed as leo's chew every thing when they are teething.i never used a crate but i am with him every day but i think they are good things when your out.the only toys that seem to last with him are the kong type as every thing else doesn't last and will get eaten if left.
they can have treats but only small amounts as them eating their food is more important.
you could get a cat tray for water,this helps the little one go into water if you wish to work her with water done the line.then as she gets bigger we have a child sand pit for water and hes always in it.have you got grooming brushes? get her used to being groomed from the start it makes it easier when they grow.
what food are you giving her? i use a raised feeder for him it makes him eat better.
there is at least another 3 leo owners on here so why not join cd,we can help you if you need it.
the one thing you need to do is training they get big fast.to give you an idea my lad is now adult size in frame and at a guess about 65kg.he was the size of a boxer at 5 months.are you going to be a member of the leo club? what is the affix of your little girl? im new to the leo would still learning who is who in the club.my lad breeder is sarah and rob of oldholbans.
they are hard work some times but well worth it and he has got better with age.
hope this helps

Hi Marie-Rose
I know how you feel you must be so excited, why not join Champ Dogs and stay in touch.
LOL...... hope its a big puppy pen...  :D
I only give treats in training  :D
I use vet bedding for mine as mine prefer to sleep on a cold floor   :D
Toys.... Shop about for safe toys designed for large breeds... :D
As i said if you join Champ Dogs we can help you out further with any problems.
Good Luck with your new baby  .......   :)
Most important thing is to socialize your puppy and get her used to traffic...noise...other animals...and vets from day one, your vets may now of puppy parties in your area ask your vet now as they do book up fast.

Leomad.... :D
