Raising a puppy?

Anyone have a guide to how to raise a puppy? I was going to get a rescue dog (it was all lined up but fell through todaySad). I'm back to searching and find myself wondering about a puppy. There's so much information out there. Does anyone know a particularly good guide to how to buy and raise a puppy? I'm worried about bad breeders, etc., and how to establish good habits straight away. It's been years since either of us had a dog!

The Perfect Puppy by Gwen Bailey is very good:)

Puppy bible

Dog behaviour bible

As useless as the KC can be from time to time their new puppy socialisation effort seems to be pretty good - www.thepuppyplan.com/

My advice for actually finding a puppy would vary a bit depending on what type or breed of dog you were looking for - have you any ideas? There are of course puppies available through rescue as well from time to time.
