Choosing a puppy dachshund

WHERE AND HOW TO CHOOSE A PUPPY

Author: L. Romanov

So, you decide for yourself: taxi, only taxis and nothing but taxes. But where is he: Black and tan, red, coffee, marble? Smooth, dlinnik "or" zhestik? Where he is the one and only, it is your puppy is destined to become for you and your child, friend and protector?

Probably your first response is: "bird markets." And once I would like to dissuade you from a hike on the "bird". Why? There are several reasons.

First of all, for your chosen puppy to watch: as he moves like eating, how to communicate with their littermates. The market is impossible. There, you just give your puppy from hand to hand - and all.

Secondly, quite a good idea to look at not mom or dad (if the puppy - alimentary), and better and at both. On the "bird" you can show one of the parents in all its glory, but there is no guarantee that this is the dog gave birth to a baby liked you, and that she did not hire a neighbor on the landing (such cases - not uncommon).

And last: Buying on the taxi market, even with a pedigree, you may not be a hundred percent sure. That she had two parents - a taxi. Yes - yes, you may well slip the fruit, possibly more, but forbidden love dachshunds and "gentleman". But if you still have not heeded my free friendly advice, and went to the Bird Market "for your dream, remember the following ..

1. If you offer to buy a puppy is very expensive, it probably is not talking about a dog and a impudence seller. Sound like more, look, and I am sure you will find the puppy is not worse (and probably better), but at an affordable price.

2. If the seller is loud praises of their dogs and puppies, it speaks of his indiscretion and bad manners. But if it is also loud cursing or, more accurately, "Hayot" foreign dogs, other clubs and nurseries, it says nothing of his dishonesty and dishonorable man with hardly deal at all.

3. If the seller, and often the saleswoman, she rushes to you to buy a puppy, run from it like the devil from holy water. In the end, you do not choose cabbage or potatoes. Other! And this choice you should do for themselves and only themselves.

But, in order not to teach these commandments, and do not be afraid that you will be deceived, it is best not go to the "bird market." Open the newspaper, "Hand in Hand" or our magazine and call on the ads. Go to a house where there puppies. Meet the owners, watch out for taksyatami and, no doubt, you make the right choice.

Probably your first response is: "bird markets." And once I would like to dissuade you from a hike on the "bird". Why? There are several reasons.

Education

Increasingly, there is the question.

Recently, the club brought year-old males. A dog with a very good pedigree, quite decent, but with some exterior flaws, but well, not this speech. Male coward to the contrary .. What is a wild goat, and not a dog. responds to any noise yapping with privizgivaniem. Crap everywhere - where it picked up and a pool and a bunch .. All the while communicating with the owners, I fought back of his intentions to climb on my head, not to mention the fact that coming into someone's home it is not enough not sumnyashesya climbed onto the couch. Another point - the dog is not at all in the eyes of the contact - something crazy ...
What happened?
From gazgovora the hostess was found out many interesting details.
For example - that the hostess did not know how many times the dog must walk a day ... and did not remember how many walks her dog .. ie: when the 2 and when and how much.
In this case, it always beat for puddles and piles. At the same time - if the pool is done - well, because you can not walk.. Taken out on the street it vyvolakivaya on a leash with a cry - it's a walk that would be .. but he did not write the virus .. Then he was again punished, "Well no patience for the scum no!" and dragged home.
This is to teach the street .. The result - when the mistress was with us to say goodbye with words: "Come?", He quickly turned around and instantly made all their works on the carpet (soobrazhaaet, beast - it is better to punish him once at home than go to a terrible street, where will still be beat)
And so on.
Fees are generally low-Sensitive to corporal punishment. You can score a little dog. You can make it a cowardly downtrodden creation,. but nothing at all and can not be achieved.
First of all you need to understand - what your business does not disrupt the nerves to the dog, and to convey to her mind - exactly what you want from it. In dogs, there is no such thing as a harmful and shame. If you have a huge lyuzhu psinka tricked you into bed - this means that you do not even walk in the evening. And before you arrange a session beating think - and what's actually to blame you?
Surely what is to blame. Dogs up to a year to walk no less than three times a day, otherwise they "tear" urination, and confusion can happen at any moment - a dog dozing off, and all.
If you want a dog's eyes to see not only the humility and the fear - that nabertes patience ..
Take and make a list with your psinkoy trouble.
and in another field a sheet of paper - make a rough doggie mode. and look closely.. Tooth give - a lot comes up on the surface - Naprimmer that dog supper at 5 pm and the first time, loving owners walk their child in the morning hours in 12 .. wild and angry at the same time in a puddle in the kitchen.
And last. Always and all I say - bring up fee - remember - is ONCE you allow that either - the dog will write it myself in the asset and will fight for the right acquired by one with the tenacity of a maniac. So if you really let the dog in bed - get ready to sleep with her always.
Beating in the education fees maloefektivno and pointless. Corporal punishment, only that demeans self-esteem - grabbing the scruff and shaking for a long:) You see - when you beat it - it's a fight .. and a dog fight is the idea of confrontation. And when you humiliate her - it is a punishment. and it does should not be painful. Scream and natopat legs are much more efficient way. Kick into place .. Tell her - go with my eyes:)
Good luck to all in the upbringing of short legged upryamok:)

The fee for a walk

Daily walks in the fresh air necessary for normal development of your pet. During the walk fee is actively moving, and thus strengthened his muscles, increases blood circulation and lung ventilation, accelerated metabolic processes, normally developing nervous system. Guided promote excellent appetite and sound sleep. During walks fee learn about the world, an increasing range of communication, quenched and formed her character.

For walking dachshund puppy need to get a collar and leash. Collar should be a narrow leather or synthetic material. The leash is better to have a durable fabric as well as his need for easy washing. Categorically prohibits the use of Harnesses, not to spoil the exterior fees. Dogs of this breed need to walk only a collar. As a leash is not recommended roulette.

If your dog during the walk begins to tremble, then we must immediately go home and repeat it several hours later. Length of stay on the street increases gradually adjusted to the breed. Bantam taxes in cold weather freezes faster than any other dog vysokonogie. They do not like and slushy, rainy weather.

Up to six months if the weather allows, the puppy should be as much as possible to be outdoors, especially on sunny days, playing with toys or with peers. Fees, like many other dogs, love to run for abandoned objects, such as whether a ball with sticks, and bring their boss. But taxis are categorically contra game, in which the dog is missing teeth, stick, and the owner begins to circle her, raising above the ground. The fact that the taxi, with a long spine, often suffer from the displacement of intervertebral discs, which leads to paresis of hind limbs and partial immobilization. Cause of the disease can be very different: infection, inflammation, bruises and concussion spinal cord. Therefore necessary to protect their dlinnotelyh pets from injuries, exhaustion and hypothermia. 1O the same reason, 5-6-month taksenka while running stairs or steep hills must be taken at the hands of. The rise is on the stairs and slopes, on the contrary, is useful as 1razhneniya, strengthens the muscles of the spine. To develop the correct posture should periodically walk your puppy on a leash stretched by hard ground or pavement. During walks, make sure that adult dogs do not frighten the child and especially not bitten. Try to communicate with the constant round breeders, then your puppy will play with familiar dogs that did not hurt. In addition, contact with the same dogs, reduced chance of contracting infectious diseases.

After walking a rate Wash paws and belly, and then dry thoroughly. This must be done always, regardless of the weather, to maintain developed a reflex. Accustomed to washing feet from his childhood dog refer to this procedure as a mandatory attribute of the walk.

Very useful for puppies and adult dachshunds swimming. Especially it is shown taksyatam with massive bone. If your dog likes to swim, do not forbid him this. It is only necessary to make sure that water and air were warm enough and always after swimming to dry off the possibility of a puppy, and if necessary, wipe it. In addition, the sanitary condition of the reservoir should not cause you doubt, otherwise the puppy can get hurt on broken glass or pick up the skin and other infections.

And finally, walking with his puppy, follow the basic rules of behavior on city streets. Displays a puppy home only on a leash: Happy, excited the upcoming walk, he usually comes out of the doorway first and can cater to the wheels passing cars or be bitten by a big strange dog. Only relegating the puppy in a safe place, you can pull it off the leash and allow plenty be tired with running about and simulated. During movement along roads, in a crowd of people, transport the puppy must be on a leash or in arms. Not uncommon for dogs loss while traveling in vehicles without a leash. Never take your puppy to a variety of fireworks and crowds. Shots, the flash and the cries of the people may scare him. By sharp and loud noises should teach your puppy gradually accustomed to his surroundings.

Pregnancy

The normal duration of pregnancy in females 63 days, the small breeds - usually 60 days. Puppies are viable if born between 53 and 71 days after mating. The earlier of the estimated delivery date passed, the less viable pups. If puppies are not born in time, the reason probably is that the conception occurred much later than the owner thinks. If the female mated three times, the difference in days between the first and last bindings can make a week, and pregnancy could well begin only after the third mating. Conversely, the binding could be assigned too late and already the first of these fertilized eggs mature past, more than they already were not, but admit to himself dog female could a few more days. These puppies can be born much earlier than expected owner of the bitch.

And still more in the calculation of gestation were wrong breeder, nature - extremely accurate.

Pseudopregnancy

False pregnancy should not be confused with the invalid. False pregnancy - a physiological state of females that had not been bred, but is showing signs of pregnancy. Such a state is more common in females with an irregular breeding activity than breeding females in uniform during the life of the load. When a false pregnancy in bitches come all the signs, as if she is really going to whelp. Two months after the mid-estrus she may begin preparing a nest, and will have a condition similar to labor pains. But in the end to the misery females, especially if she has a lot of milk, it turns out that puppies do not. Bitch will probably require treatment sedatives, which may prescribe a veterinarian. After a while she'll be back to normal, but if it is tied to the next estrus, it would bring a normal litter of puppies.

Cause a false pregnancy is excessive or uneven allocation of a specific hormone. Normally, this hormone is produced in large quantities only after fertilization during mating. But sometimes the phenomenon of false pregnancy is associated with inflammation and accumulation of pus in the uterus, such as meters or pyometra.

Cancelled Pregnancy

Sometimes tied bitch has all the signs of normal flows of pregnancy, suddenly, about a month after mating, puppies, "resolve". But signs of pregnancy does not disappear, and that the puppy will not know the owner will not soon. Sometimes incorrectly called a state of "false pregnancy", although it is true it would say "failed" because the first term refers to the bitch that has signs of pregnancy without being tied.

Normal pregnancy

In the early stages it is impossible to determine whether a bitch to have puppies or not, neither in appearance nor in the probing.

It is possible that the first signs appear not to change the physical state and behavior of females. Very often, after mating female is calmer, gentler, and sometimes looks like a bit unhealthy. A more precise definition, with the puppies a bitch or not, largely depends on the breed, body shape, from the first is a litter or a female has had puppies, and often on the magnitude of dung. Some females remain a secret until the last day.

A normal pregnancy at 21-22 day a man with delicate fingers, who knows where and what to look for, can both sides of the abdomen females find tiny solid roundish lumps. By 24 day, these clumps get bigger and be felt up to 35 days. Later, they become soft and therefore difficult to be felt, but usually by this time the value of the abdomen shows that the puppies are expected. This is especially noticeable in the numerous litters.

When the bitch puppy 2.1, during the first month is very difficult to say anything, especially if it's first litter, as the stomach muscles in a female is much stronger than that of females, which had several litters before. However, it is not necessary at all costs trying to find is her puppies or not. Need a little patience and the symptoms eventually become apparent. Between the fourth and fifth weeks of becoming a noticeable bulge on the sides, the body will look much better round. True, some females do not manifest these symptoms almost to the seventh week.

Even the most experienced breeders can make a mistake in estimating the number of puppies. Sometimes a bitch is a giant, and eventually gives only 1-2 pups. On the other hand, the bitch may look as though she had no more than 2 puppies, and the affected dog breeder will take a huge litter of 12 or more puppies.

Usually around the fifth week increase somewhat nipples and the skin around them brightens. By the sixth week, when the female lies on her side, the puppies can be felt in the uterine horns. From the sixth week, the size of puppies grows very quickly, and the nipples become larger and softer. By the seventh week, significantly increasing, and mammary glands. At last week's stomach falls because the uterus is almost entirely fills its volume, whereas before it was located in the spine.

There is another unmistakable sign of pregnancy - is when you can feel the hand like a stir puppies. Sometimes, in the second half of pregnancy observed slight mucous discharge from the loop, usually without the smell and color. If the last week of pregnancy, the discharge becomes heavy, a little yellow or green - is the first sign of approaching labor.

Care of the bitch

Even before the viscous the bitch must expel the worms, but if for some reason it was not done, the worms need to kick until the third week of pregnancy. Removing worms in females after the third week of pregnancy can cause aborting puppies. For the health of the mother and puppies is essential that the bitch had no external or internal parasites. If the worms for some reason drove to no viscous or until the third week of pregnancy, then you have to wait for the bitch whelp. Veterinarian will give advice when it is it can be done after whelping. Here we must exercise great caution - anthelmintic through milk falls and puppies.

If a pregnant bitch is dirty, it should wash and simultaneously treat the external parasites. Wash the bitch after the fourth week of pregnancy is not recommended. Needless to say, if a bitch for some reason still had to wash, it should be thoroughly dried, do not let it sit in a draft or lying on the cold floor. It is best to wash it at night, keep in warm place until her hair completely dry and in any event not take out until the next day.

Particular attention should be given to females of teeth, if necessary, to clear them from the raid. In breeds with drooping ears need to regularly clean the ear canal and prevent against ear mites.

Feeding pregnant bitch

Strong, healthy puppies can be obtained from females only in the event that during pregnancy she is well fed, perfectly healthy and is in excellent conditions.

During the first month there is no need to change the diet females. If it is usually fed with concentrate for dogs, during pregnancy in her food should be added to the meat (beef, lamb, etc.) and raw egg yolks. Very little bitch enough two yolks per week, the big bitch you can add two yolks in one feeding.

Not always during pregnancy in females increased appetite. If a bitch is not too thick, it is necessary to give as much food as she wants, of course, within reasonable limits. In fact, the main challenge is not the amount of food and its quality. A pregnant bitch needs food with high protein content, since he is the basic building material. In a significant proportion of its food should be meat, fish, dairy products and eggs. The amount of food containing starch such as cereals, flour products, liver should not increase as compared to its normal diet.

By the fourth week of pregnancy, the amount of food should increase markedly, but only at the expense of products containing animal proteins. Furthermore, in addition bitch need cod liver oil and vitamins, especially A, B1, D and E, which should give all pregnant. It is important that bitch got calcium supplements, such as glycerophosphate and lactate, especially when the assumed large litter. Otherwise it may be too much leakage of calcium from the body bitch that hurt her much more than puppies because they are getting from all the females than in need.

As the female gets heavier, probably better than her daily ration divided into several feedings. First you need to feed it two, then three, then, maybe four times, if it is expected that the litter will be large. Not all the food the bitch should be soft, she definitely need to give something to chew, such as apple, carrot or give overeat meat with large bones (but not the bare bone!), Or on the teeth it will be deposited stone. From the earliest days of pregnancy the bitch should be given water to drink without limit - her body produces amniotic fluid contained in a water bubble that protects the puppies.

We too thick bitches are often difficult delivery, so if the bitch is prone to obesity, we must reduce the amount of cereal products in her diet. As a food supplement that does not cause obesity are good vegetables, especially important for the overfed dogs.

Dogs usually do not need to receive vitamin C from food, because it is synthesized from them in the body, the liver accumulates its reserve amount. But sometimes the content of vitamin C in the body the dog down, resulting in anemia or may be a variety of skin manifestations. In this case, of course, need to add in food vitamin C in any form.

Dairy products are rich in vitamins, calcium and phosphorus compounds, so they need to be a bitch to give as much as she wants, unless it upsets her digestion. Half-liter of yogurt or kefir contain as much protein as it in 85 g of raw meat. Boiled egg contains as much protein as 56 grams of meat of good quality. Raw dog needs to give only the yolk, if you give all the egg completely, then it need to cook or make him an omelet. Crude protein contains avidin, which binds one of the B vitamins produced by bacteria in the gut - biotin. Thus, if a dog to give a large quantity of raw eggs (or whites), then it will eventually, due to insufficient biotin, which in turn significantly affect the state coat.

Economical protein food is fish, such as fresh or frozen marine fish - herring or sprats. Pilchards can be given raw. Need to remove head and tail, the fish pass through a meat grinder and mixed with cereal or vegetable food. All the other fish to cook in a pressure cooker until seethe until all the bones. Of the cereal food for dogs is better to use wheat, as they contain vitamin B, without which the grinding feed almost useless. Complex of B vitamins most often lacking in the diet of dogs. Many of these vitamins in brewer's yeast - pharmaceutical preparation from brewer's yeast is well to add the feed a pregnant bitch.

Walking

Walking to the pregnant females are very important, and she does not need to change the mode of walking, until it becomes too heavy. If a bitch got used to a good hour walk, it is necessary to continue to make it healthy and in good sturdy condition. It is important that she had strong muscles and a lot of effort to push the puppies when they start labor. Bitch you should not protect the patient. When it becomes very hard, she does not want to go far from home.

It is very important to have a walk in the fresh air and, in particular, in the sun. Sunlight is very important for life.

At the end of pregnancy bitch does not want to make long walks. But in the short walks to her show several times a day, more than ever before. Long walk is not needed, the bitch can not overwork. She also should not be allowed to run up and down the stairs and jumping on chairs and sofas, and from them down. In late pregnancy, the bitch can not be a long haul in the car, and if it is still going, not a sharp turn at high speed.

Bitch can not also be able to lie on the cold floor or in the wet grass.

How to raise a pregnant bitch

Need to raise slowly and carefully, making sure that your fingers are not limited to the stomach. Needless to say, that it is dangerous to drop it or allow it to jump from a height. Fine bitch you can pick up and hold one hand under his chest, pressing her elbows, and his other hand to maintain a large. Large female can lift with two hands - one hand supports the body under the tail, so that she would sit on the arm, another arm should hug the bottom front of the chest. Put on the floor bitch needed immediately on all four legs. Before I let her go, you need to check whether it preserves the balance.
