Once your puppy is comfortable with the Gentle Leader, gradually introduce walking on a leash in a quiet and familiar environment.

I would strongly suggest taking the puppy to a veterinarian for an examination and a hands-on demonstration in how to massage a puppy to stimulate intestinal movements. I would also suggest not changing the puppy's food, as this can cause other intestinal problems.
You should feed your 6 month puppy a good, high quality puppy food until it is one year of age. I would suggest Purina Puppy Chow or Science Diet Puppy food.
A dog/puppy from a pet store or puppy mill may or may not have genetic defects, you would have to check with your vet, but if you have not already bought your puppy, I suggest you adopt from an animal shelter. The animals are much healthier and you get the background of the dog or puppy before you adopt.
If its a puppy, i would suggest a harness. if its a full grown dog you might use a pinch collar or choker chain.
I would suggest Royal Canin. They have a range for all ages of puppies or dogs. Although i strongly suggest talking to the breeder as they will give you some great advice. For instant as the dog grows up my mother, who breeds dogs, would suggest a raw feed diet. Yours may suggest the same or dry food. Hope I helped :).
I am not sure exactly how it affects the puppy's digestive system, but it is not recommended. It may even make the puppy sicken or die. Go with powdered milk. If regular milk is all you have, I suggest that do not give it much, and warm it up a bit.
I would suggest taking your puppy to your veterinarian, along with a sample of the bloody feces. In a puppy, I would suspect hookworms or roundworms, but your veterinarian will need to do a physical examination to see what is happening.
