Dog Breeding and Mating

A more softer coat, but when dirty they have rough fur. Take it from a person who has a 1 1/2 year old male Boston Terrier. He gets dirty. A LOT.

Spaying is the removal of the ovaries from a female dog. No dog that is spayed can have puppies. No female dog can have puppies with another female dog. If you are asking about a male dog, the correct term is neutered, not spayed.

You don't dock a puppys tail, it's illegal and cruel. And it's animal cruelty to remove its claws

it takes 2 months

Possibly, although this will always be a matter of opinion. Bone structure, muscle development and hair coat are all inherited traits, albeit with a lot of variation and multiple factors affecting the final outcome.

Usually an ugly puppy is a result of crossing two very different breeds, like trying to cross an English bulldog with a greyhound. The bulldog's characteristic protruding lower jaw, short legs and barrel chest would mix with the greyhound's long nose, long legs and lean but deep chest to give a puppy with some mix of the two. Unfortunately, there is no predicting what traits each puppy would get - one may get the bulldog nose, greyhound legs and a mix of chest types while another may get bulldog legs, greyhound chest and a mix of the two nose types.

However, in general, no matter how unusual or disproportionate a puppy may be, or how ugly and non-breed type it may be, someone will fall in love with "the little misfit" and want to adopt it.

No They will choke and it's not good for them.

Well first, if you are talking about newborn puppies (about 1 - 3 weeks) then no, they need help getting outside. And if you are talking about month-old puppies, then yes they can walk outside on their own and use the bathroom.

I'm going yes based on a story my parents told me: prior to my birth my parents had a weenie dog. They lived in a small, rural town without animal control so he would often run around and explore. One day a couple brought Oscar home and reported the he had been "messing" with their German Sheperd that was in heat. A few months later there were Weenies dog/German Shepherd puppies. So the story goes...

Ivermectin should NOT be used on dogs younger than six weeks old

No Mud Puppies do not lay eggs they are born as a tadpole.

I had the same question. My vet told me not for 7 days after the pups are born. She said you could remove the smell from the mother and the pups would reject the mother because she didn't have the smell anymore. Its only 7 days, I would say stick through the smell, its better than taking the chance of having hungry puppies.

Because it is sweet and to most people it smells good. It is caused by the mother's milk and after a long period of time when the puppies keep drinking it, their breath starts to smell like the milk. unfortuenetly the sweet smell of puppy breath does not last forever it goes away after a few weeks, when you started to feed your puppy some dog food which is why adult dogs have horrible smelling breath. Also another thing is puppies, they have less bactiria in their mouths and are cleaner then an adult dogs mouth.

No, it helps with the birthing process. Just becareful you don not overexert your pet, take frequent breaks and have water handy.

To determine how big your puppy will be, look at the parents of the puppy and the breed of the dog. If the parents were two different breeds and sizes, the pup will look like a mix of both parents and between the height of both the parents.

Dog food

You don't. Any medical procedures involving animals should be handled at a vet's office.

well that stupid girl that threw 6 little puppies in a river is unknown but we all know or hope that she will be found and put to jail. but im not sure if throwing puppies in a river is against the law. :-/

Yes. Dogs are horrible. I am allergic to them. Can you be allergic to sweet chili chicken? No! See.That is nice. You can only be allergic to things that are disgusting.

It should eat what it eats normally.

My dog is 2 years old and this is her first litter ever! she is a mini poodle and we bred her with a mini poodle. she just had one puppy 30 mins ago and we dont know if she is going to have any more. She starts shaking and panting every 5 minutes and then stops and is fine. will she have any more puppies or just the one?

It is true.

He may have a cold/cough. Get him/her checked out by a vet as soon as you can because a cold/cough can turn into something serious like pneumonia.

Bobbie the Wonder Dog was actually a Border Collie.
