You should be feeding a puppy a puppy chow style of dog food. This kind of dog food provides puppies with the nutrients they need to develop correctly. Also puppy chose has a lot of calories to support a puppies active lifestyle.

Until your puppy[s vaccination series is completed, your pup should not go to public places or be around stray dogs. Your puppy can go outdoors in your yard, and be around your friends' dogs which are known to be vaccinated.

Just try make them spend more time together. maybe get something for them they could share? or if you're out and you're not bringing them with you, you can put them together in a certain area, maybe a room, living room, etc,.

i think yes

Yes they are so much cuter and tiner which makes them cuter

Some dogs will go back into heat soon after having puppies, even if they are still nursing them. In that case, it is normal for a dog to start to bleed after 4 weeks of having puppies. If the blood smells bad, looks odd, or if your dog seems ill, call your vet since she could be in need of treatment for an infection or other problem.

This is a subjective question that really depends on the breed. Large breeds need to be at least, 3 years old while smaller breeds should be around 2 years old. The age is a serious consideration because the younger the animal the less developed their body systems and bones are. Allowing a 6 or 8 month old puppy breed is the equivalent of an 10 or 11 year old girl having a baby.

Then comes the question of why do you want to breed your female? While I was a breeder for many years I went to a lot of trouble to educate my buyers on how to take care of the puppy they were getting. I also made sure all the puppies in each litter had a home to go to or they stayed with me regardless how many I had at the time. In 22 years no puppy produced from my kennel ever went into an animal shelter.

This is a serious consideration as well, since the average litter for small breeds is 6 and for large breeds is 10. Therefore, breeding because you want "a puppy" from your girl, what are you going to do with the other 5 or 9? Do not depend on friends and neighbors saying they will take one because I can tell you from experience that even when someone has a hefty deposit down on that puppy they may or may not take the dog when the time comes.

Allowing a female to breed can bring up all kinds of deadly health problems in the future that you may or may not want to deal with, from pyrometria (uterine infection) to breast cancer. All of which can be prevented by spaying your girl before that first heat cycle around 7 to 9 months of age.

A thorough belly rub focusing on the upper belly should do the trick. it will feel funny to touch a dog's belly when it hiccups but that should help. This works but here are some other things that work:

1. Stretch your dog out gently on the floor if it is a large dog to extend the belly area, for small dogs you can gently lift the hind legs but not for very long

2. Startle your dog with an unusual sound to get it to refocus

3. If those don't work then engage your dog in playing to get the dogs breathing pattern to change but again caution

Good Luck.

I don'y know why people want to know if there Jack Russell is pure bred...Theres no such animal. Jack Russell Terriers are a type, or strain, of working terrier; they are not pure bred in the sense that they have a broad genetic make-up, a broad standard, and do not breed true to type.

Usually dogs can start breeding at the age of 6 months but I recommend that you wait a year oxox Dachshie Lover

You can wash it when it is atleast 8 weeks, you cannot take it to any professional such as petsmart unless it is four months old, that is when they get their rabies shot. SO when taking your puppy a bath DO NOT use human shampoos. It will make there fur flaky and itch because there skin is more sensitive and cannot take it. Also take your puppy a bath once every 4 to 7 weeks.

On average 11, but mine lived to nineteen!

The likelihood of a dog surviving parvo depends on a variety of factors such as:

\t
• The age of the dog
\t
• The overall health of the dog prior to contracting parvo
\t
• The severity of the symptoms
\t
• The speed of diagnosis and treatment
\t
• The quality of care the dog receives while being treated

In general the younger the dog is and the sooner it is diagnosed and treated the better the chances of recovery. In many cases puppies are successfully treated for parvo and make a full recovery. However the mortality rate for parvo can be as high as 91% so the likelihood of a dog surviving parvo is not guaranteed.

There are many places someone can find pictures of cute puppies. Animal books at the library would have pictures of cute puppies. Also, many sites on the internet have animal photos and photos of all different kinds of puppies.

It depends on your genetics. Also, hormones have a lot to do with your growth. It also depends on whether you eat right and excercise daily. Usually you would hit your growth spurt once, slow down for a while, and grow some more. Funny huh?

That's pretty old for any dog to give birth. The oldest dogs I have ever bred were 5 yrs old. If this dog has been breed every year, she should probably be retired and allowed to just enjoy life. If she has never been bred, there's also the chance it will difficult for her to breed. I think at this age she should just be loved.

All breeds of pit bull trace back to England. The earliest documented pit bull in England is 1042 but as a breed it was not officially recognized until 43 years later.

Answer If the mother dog won't feed her puppies and you want the job it's not that hard. Get an eye dropper, pour warm milk into it and feed it to the puppies. They will try to reject it so you have to be a bit forceful, but don't squeeze too much milk into their mouths they might choke. Your local Vet can supply or help with a supplement for mother's milk - probably feeding every two hours with a soft nipple on the bottle or if the puppies are really small - an eye dropper! Make sure you cuddle them and keep them warm, when they sleep, wrap a ticking clock near or underneath them and a hot water bottle would be great too. All the best!!

It depends. You can get them really cheap at a kennel, pound, and a Cavachon rescue. You can get them really expensive at a pet shop and a breeder. I'd go with the kennel, pound, or rescue. It saves money and a life!

Ask around. Sometimes county animal departments and a few vets do them for free.

Chaos got bully style and game style and about 5 different kennels. The kennel in Illions dogs, came from the watchdog line. Anyways, to be sure, look for some other real pitbull line.

Due to the high incidence of parasitism in puppies and the risks posed to humans by hookworms and roundworms, the Center for Disease Control recommends that puppies be started on a preventative deworming schedule at 2 weeks of age and continued every 2 weeks until they are at least 8 weeks of age. Some veterinarians recommend continuing this deworming program until a pup is 12 weeks of age or is started on a monthly heartworm preventative that also treats hookworms and roundworms. For puppies who have not been dewormed regularly starting from 2 weeks of age, fecal examination to determine their infection status and then appropriate deworming treatments should be performed. Your veterinarian is he best source of information on deworming your puppies and should always be involved in setting up a deworming program.

Dogs have glands at the base of their tails that give off pheremones the tell other dogs their age, sex, and if they are feeling like making friends or not. That is why dogs sniff each other's butts when they meet
