| Thirty-six percent of the world`s population own dogs. There are over 60 million dogs just in the United States. Puppies need more than usual human contact between age 4-10 weeks old, or they never work well with humans. Let puppies meet lots of people so that in the future they will work well around strangers. It can kill a dog to have puppies. After dogs have puppies, they may get aggressive. If a male dog is not neutered, as it ages, it is more likely to get sick. You should keep puppies in a clean environment. Play is the most important thing for puppies. A bone made of rawhide is a toy that will not do any damage to the dog or your house. |
| Here are some things to know about buying pups. You do not want a dog bred in one place and sold in another. It will result in problems with the puppy. When you buy a puppy take it straight from the breeder`s home to your home. Get to know your breeder. Keep in touch with your breeder by mail or phone. |
| A fat puppy is not a healthy one. Puppies that gain weight too fast put strain on their bones and joints as they are forming. Several bone and joint diseases are common in large breeds. Some of them are hip dyplasia, ununited anconeal process, ununited coronoid process, and osteochondritis. Diseases can come from genus or diet. Malnutrition does not always mean not enough nutrients, it can mean excess nutrition. |
| If your dog is afraid of something, take your dog to that object. Do not comfort your dog. Instead, let your dog know you approve of him/her being scared. After awhile, this will help. At 8-12 weeks, old do not let your dog get into any experiences that may frighten your dog. |
