Am I prepared for a new puppy?

I'm getting a puppy for free from a friend. Mum said I could have it as long as I agree on certain things.
Her dog got out, it was a mistake, now after the puppies are born she's getting spayed.

This dog is a toy female is a Papillon x Mini Yorkshire Terrier.
She was found with an un-neutered West Highland White Terrier.
So the puppies are hopefully going to be gorgeous toy-small mongrels.

I already have 2 dogs. One a working Retriever, the other a retired Ratting terrier. Both been spayed and neutered.

They are both socialised and both amazing around the neighbours Miniature Jack Russell Terrier, who is always around our house when they are out working.

The puppies haven't yet been born, but we have arranged that I will get to know and bond with my chosen puppy throughout. I will not receive the puppy until it is 12 weeks old.
While it is growing up with it's mother I'll help with it's crate training and potty training so it knows basic manners and it'll start to be socialised slowly with my other dogs at 10 weeks in neutral environments.

I've looked up pet insurance, vaccination, cost for it to be spayed/neutered and micro-chipping

I part-time work so I can support a puppy and I have so much spare time as I always finish college really early. So I can train it.
We live in the countryside so space isn't a problem.

What do you think. Am I ready? I want a pet and responsibility and a new puppy would be nice.

Answer
It sounds to me you are ready and you'll be a very responsible dog owner. You seem to have all bases covered. Good luck with your new puppy.
