What advice would you give to a new owner

What advice would you give to a new owner

We've recently rescued a Brittany Spaniel from Bosnia (he arrived 3 days ago) and while we have experience with Springer and Cocker Spaniels this is our first time having a Brittany. I've been Googling for tips and tricks of course but I was wondering if there were any tips, tricks or things you wish you'd known sooner that might help?

The rescue think he was originally owned for hunting and then dumped when he wasn't very good for this purpose. He seems interested in birds and definitely would love to chase a cat. We have a small but secure garden and are taking him for walks in the local forest where we walked out previous dogs. He's already got the sit command down and we're working on everything else.

EDIT: just wanted to say thank you all, we're on Day 5 of boyo being home and he's doing incredibly well. All your advice and anecdotes are much appreciated even if I haven't responded to you individually yet.

Sold designer bag - should I be wary?

I've just sold a Marc Jacobs bag on Vinted for £100 - the buyer messaged me to ask if it's genuine, which it is. I offered to send more photos but they said it was okay they're just wary of fakes on Vinted. They also didn't opt for the item verification option, which I would have thought they would have if they're concerned about it being fake?

Their reviews are all positive but reading horror stories on here has made me a bit wary. Am I just overthinking/being paranoid as this is a risk you take with this platform?
