There is something wrong with this dog.
How to choose golden retriever puppies
1. For friends who buy big dogs, most of the time, they can't see the dog's father *-most kinds of dogs are in the kennel. Even if they do, I suggest you just look around and don't take it too seriously-we can't do paternity testing. Maybe the kennel just took in a group of puppies and found them a parent or something. So, unless you are very good friends, please don't trust them-no kennel has a puppy leaving the nest every month, but every kennel has a dog. Why? Think for yourself. On the basis of 1 point, my suggestion is to pay more than 95% attention to puppies. After all, this is what you put in front of you. And the baby born to a pet dog may also become a champion, but can 30% of the puppies born to a champion dog become a champion? Maybe less. What I mean is simple. As long as you are careful enough, it is possible to choose a gourmet puppy from ordinary puppies, but if you are not careful enough, you may buy an ordinary puppy from the champion offspring. However, the price difference is not a little. 3. Things to bring before picking a dog: weighing scale's small comb thermometer with fine teeth, wet paper towels, golden hair materials (especially photos) found in magazines and online. This breed of dog, Jin Mao, is crazy in front of people after seeing puppies, and usually rushes up after seeing people. Don't worry at this time, wait for their enthusiasm to pass, and then look at the dogs carefully (after about 20 minutes, the little guys will be quiet. 5, first ask the owner, the birth order of these dogs, the first child is better. But the owner's words are for reference only, because I may not remember, and for dog owners, I just want to sell the poor puppy first, so that I can breed one or two good dogs even if I can't sell it. So, listen. 6, look at the size of the dog, although it is a nest, but the dog's head is definitely different. Bigger ones are definitely better, and food and drink are the first. These dogs are definitely better. A few things about the puppy's physical quality: A, weight. The data has the weight that puppies should have at each period. There can be a gap, but it can't be too big. For example, only three months 10 kg, this is definitely not needed. B, in terms of body temperature, the puppy's body temperature is between 38 and 39. If it exceeds half a degree, it will be fine, and if it is higher, it will be a problem. C. Turn up the dog's tail to see if pp is clean. If it is not clean, or the nearby hair sticks together, it means that there is a problem with the dog's recent excretion and there are hidden dangers. D, turn up your eyelids to see your eyes. There should be no obvious red blood on it. A good dog's eyes are light blue, and its pupils are together, so it can be seen and touched. E, hide aside, shout at a medium volume, and the dog with quick response has good hearing. If some dogs don't respond when barking, they either have hearing problems or are in poor health. F comb your hair with a small comb and comb it backwards to see if there are any parasites on your body. After the physical examination, if there is no problem, then these dogs are eligible to buy. Let's look at the quality of golden retriever. Looking at the quality of golden hair, the order of importance is as follows: 1, and the bone mass is the easiest to see from the claws. A good golden retriever, even a 30-day-old golden retriever, has thick claws, which are more than 5cm horizontally. Bone mass is extremely important. If the bone mass is insufficient, the golden retriever will be weak in the future and will not become an ideal good dog. 2, coat color, this is very strange, everyone likes different standards of golden hair, some friends like gold, some friends like light yellow (close to white)-in addition to these two colors, there are black and pure white. However, as the name implies, golden fur is naturally the best color-many kennels or individuals selling dogs promote another theory in order to sell dogs that are not golden. Hehe, when they have Jin Baobao, they will put it another way. The color of the blond baby is basically the same as that when he grows up, but it is slightly darker when he grows up-you can refer to the color of his ears. 3, the amount of hair, naturally, the more hair, the better, carefully combed with a comb, it is easy to understand the amount of golden hair, in theory, the more hair. 4, fur distribution, straight hair is better than messy hair. You should pay attention to the color of your hair when you comb it. The color of blond hair is gradual. A good golden baby can see the color distribution map when he grows up-look at it a few times and you will know what I'm talking about. 5, the head, the head of blond hair has two characteristics. First, there is an obvious bony process on the top of the head. Without this protrusion, the golden hair is impure. Secondly, the nose is solemn, vertical and straight, and deep is better than shallow. 6. mouth. Hold the baby's mouth with your hand. The thicker the golden retriever, the wider the mouth will be in the future, otherwise it will easily grow into a pointed dog. In a moderate range, the wider the mouth, the stronger the hand and the better the appearance. 7, ears, golden hair ears can not be too big-ears are too big and too long, not an advantage, but a defect. The tip of the ear just covers the front of Jin Mao's eyes. If it exceeds too much, it is a disadvantage. 8, eyes, purebred boutique golden retriever adult dogs should not show white eyes when looking straight ahead-but don't buy such a dog when choosing a small golden retriever. One of the characteristics of all mammals is that the size of the eyeball does not change much after the eyes are born and grow up. Many people's eyes are quite big when they are young, but they become smaller when they grow up, because the eyes themselves are still the same. Therefore, when buying a puppy, you should properly show the whites of your eyes-it is appropriate to pay attention. 9, nose mirror, Golden Hair's nose should be black, if it is red, then it is solid. Take a closer look. 10, tail, many friends don't pay attention to the tail when choosing a small golden hair. Please pay attention to the posture of Jin Mao's model. If the tail is up or flat, someone must have pulled it up. When the golden retriever stands still, its tail must be hanging sideways. When buying Gymboree, the tail should be clipped behind the ass, or droop moderately when it is still. When running, the tail will not be completely straight back, nor will it curl up like a China farm dog. 1 1, claws, naturally gather together and do not come apart.
Common sense of raising golden hair
1. Golden retriever puppies don't need much exercise, especially in hot weather. The best exercise for puppies is to let them run freely on the grass.
2. Never let Golden Retriever play with other dogs rudely. The fast-growing limbs of golden retriever puppies are easy to be injured.
3. Don't take the golden retriever puppy running twelve months ago, which will bring too much pressure to the bones that have not been completely calcified.
Four and a half months ago, don't let Jin Mao go up and down the stairs by himself, but hug him.
If your golden retriever is too fat, don't increase its exercise. First reduce the feeding amount until the weight returns to normal, and then slowly increase the exercise and food intake until the two reach a balance.
6. Swimming is a good exercise. Golden retriever puppies like swimming, but they must gradually adapt to the water. You'd better swim with them.
7. Jin Mao became a dog when he was 2 1 month old. Remember that it is a hound, and it needs proper outdoor exercise and proper food and care.
As long as the owner has enough love and patience, the stubborn little golden hair will eventually become the most beloved big golden hair.
Feeding habits of golden retrievers
Eating habits Eat regularly and quantitatively, and don't overeat. This common sense of life is the same for people and dogs, but dogs have some social habits that people don't have in social and table manners. ...
1. Location-
There are different classes in dog society. If a group of dogs eat in the same rice bowl, the dominant dog will be overbearing and will crowd out younger or lower-ranking companions. In order to prevent weak dogs from not having enough to eat, they should have their own rice pots, and the distance between them should be more than one meter.
2. Time and frequency-
Xiaojin, who has just been weaned, has a particularly good appetite. It is best to feed him three times a day. If you eat too much at one time, it is easy to cause abdominal distension or abdominal pain. Adult dogs can feed two meals a day. Feeding time is fixed at the same time every day, such as after a walk in the morning or after dinner. Of course, the dog won't get angry and refuse to eat just because you don't feed it at seven o'clock every day. Dogs have a flexible sense of time.
3. Drinking water-
Water is the source of life, and it is especially important for dogs that eat dry dog food to replenish water.
If you leave your dog alone at home, leave enough filtered water in the basin so that the dog can have clean water to drink all day. If the water is dirty, it must be replaced quickly. It is best to change enough filtered water after the dog eats and drinks. Some sensitive dogs may prefer thirst to drinking water because the water is dirty.
Clean up-
In dogs, the owner plays the role of leader, so he has the right to control the distribution of food, and the dog will obey your actions of giving food or taking away the rice basin. Leave 15-20 minutes for dogs to eat each time, then clean the rice basin and clean up the leftovers. Don't leave leftovers in the bowl to breed germs, or even the rice basin has moldy marks.
Feeding suggestion supplement
1.2~8 months old is the fastest growing period of puppies, so the food in this period should be completely nutritious special feed for puppies. The special feed for fully nutritious puppies contains all the nutrients needed for puppies' growth and high protein. A high level of protein is necessary for the rapid growth of puppies. In fact, some completely nutritious puppy feeds already contain enough calcium and vitamin D (to help the absorption of calcium), A, B and E, so there is no need to give him calcium tablets and vitamin tablets. As for what kind of fully nutritious puppy feed is suitable for your puppy, please consult a qualified veterinarian if you need to supplement other nutrients.
2. It is a good way to prevent anorexia by using cooked ground beef or leftovers as seasoning and feeding the completely nutritious puppy feed to golden retriever after softening it slightly. Golden retrievers don't like pure feed, especially puppies.
3. If you don't finish it within 10 ~ 15 minutes, you must take the food away and don't form bad habits. Let alone get into the habit of eating snacks.
After 4.8 months old, the growth rate slows down, and more general foods can be added slowly. Leftovers at home (rice is a good staple food for adult dogs) are a good choice, but be careful not to be too salty.
You can give the puppy egg yolk, but not more than three times a week. Feeding is forbidden in protein. Pig liver and beef liver can be fed in small amounts, at most once a week. Visceral foods must be cooked thoroughly before feeding.
6. Only the whole uncut cow bone or pig bone can be given to your dog. Giving him chicken bones, boiled or cut bones, is endangering his life.
7. Train your dog to take things out of his mouth at any time to prevent him from eating harmful things. When training, use big bones, hold them tightly, chew them twice, take them away and repeat these actions, so that he knows that you have the right to control them until you can easily take the food out of his mouth.
Exercise of golden retriever puppies
Practice recommendation (turn around)
Exercise is an important part of this plan to slow down growth. An active puppy can eat more food, so it will be more sure that it gets enough nutrition. In addition, its muscle fat ratio will be more popular, consolidating the ideal goal of the growth reduction plan. Stronger muscles will properly support a more coordinated skeletal system, thus protecting themselves when injured.
Freestyle running is a suitable exercise method for dogs of any age, because it allows them to choose their own speed and level. Of course, this exercise must be carried out in a safe environment. For everyone, this may not be a regular training basis, but it may be a special weekend training, and it is feasible to be selective and flexible.
8-week-old puppies start running close to 1/2 miles, 4-5 days a week, and then increase by about 1/2 miles a week. If you are behind this progress, please don't jump forward and catch up with the weeks behind. Instead, start where you fell. If you have fallen behind for a long time, go back for a few weeks and start training again. As described below, a daily exercise level of 3 miles will keep puppies in a very suitable and healthy state. Of course, like other forms of exercise, you should be careful in hot weather, and there is nothing wrong with cold weather.
8 weeks = 1/2 miles, 4-5 times a week 14 weeks =2 miles, 4-5 times a week.
10 week = 1 mile, 4-5 times a week =2.5 miles, 4-5 times a week.
12 weeks = 1.5 miles, 4-5 times a week 18 weeks =3 miles, 4-5 times a week.
(Note: 1 mile =1609m)
Please don't let golden retriever puppies under 4 months do jogging training, bicycle running or long-distance running training. If you want to carry out these hard trainings for puppies in advance, it is wise to do a preliminary OFA hip evaluation. Only those puppies with a pre-rating of "good" or higher can be identified as candidates for these harder training, and then gradually form their corresponding speed and distance during these trainings.
Dog daily life training
..... as soon as possible to start training the dog's life rules, so that they can cooperate happily and get along forever. Puppies who are not well-educated and overindulged tend to be willful when they grow up, and often yell at others, which is not only annoying, but also more and more unbearable for their owners. If it is an adult dog, it can also be taught; Especially stray dogs, most of them like to go out for a walk and pee. It is not difficult for you to take the trouble to understand their living habits and adjust them slowly according to your schedule.
1. Sleep-A dog is a nesting animal. It is used to resting in its own nest, and its nest must be clean and comfortable. It may not be satisfied with your arrangement, so you may wish to pay close attention to it and adjust it at any time. Never let him sleep in your bed. As the saying goes, "It is easier to ask God than to send him." Once in bed, it's hard to invite him down. It can only sleep in its own nest. If it sleeps everywhere, maybe the bed you made is not comfortable enough. Remember that every time you change his sheets, leave a dry pad under it and add a new pad, so that it will smell and he will rest on it.
2. Password-puppies are not born to be taught. You must show patience and perseverance again and again. Rewards and punishments must be clear. If you do the right encouragement, if you do the wrong punishment, you will remember it easily. You can pat it on the head, say "yes", or give it some cookies to encourage it. Similarly, if it makes a mistake, it must be reprimanded on the spot, say "no", tap its nose, or roll it into a cylinder with newspapers and magazines, clap your hands and scold "no" at the same time. Never grab its tail or pick up its ears and hit it hard. Avoid treating them too emotionally, which will easily lead to the puppy cringing, making mistakes again and again, or urinating nervously at once. You can't abuse just because you are in a bad mood or angry. Kick it, it didn't make any mistakes. This will make it at a loss and affect its appetite and growth. The whole family should have a consistent attitude and method of education. You can't just punish it, and then the family will embrace it and cherish it. In this way, the dog will be afraid of you alone, but keep making mistakes. Passwords should be concise, clear and consistent, and don't let dogs distinguish the consistent passwords as they usually chat with them, so that they can easily accept and get used to them. Moreover, the passwords of the whole family are different, or sending a password at the same time will be very confusing and I don't know what to listen to. Tone and action should be consistent. Don't scold it at the same time, touch it at the same time, and don't kiss it immediately after scolding, it won't understand.
3. defecation-the training of defecation and urination is the most important and takes a lot of time. After the dog gets up. After dinner, before going to bed, when having fun, he will spin around on the ground, indicating that he wants to pee or poop in my good feng shui. At this time, it is convenient to ask him to wait and take him to the designated place. If you are indoors, you can choose the drain of the bathroom as a fixed point, and lay a newspaper next to it. After the dog is discharged, you can wash it. This is correct and should be encouraged immediately. If it goes to the wrong place, hold its nose on the spot and pat its ass and say "no". Clean and disinfect the place immediately, spray deodorant or even pepper to cover up the smell as much as possible, so as to prevent the dog from making mistakes again when he finds the smell. Sometimes, because of excessive excitement, panic, resistance, or to get your attention, or illness, the puppy will urinate everywhere. At this time, it is necessary to find out the reason and carry out patient correction and treatment. Puppies digest and absorb quickly, excrete quickly and more, so don't worry, because the muscle control of excretory organs is not mature, and the natural frequency will be more; Babies can wet their pants, but puppies can't. Bear with it and try again!
Puppy diet
In a dog's life, infancy is the stage with the fastest growth and development, the greatest plasticity, and the largest number of patients and deaths. Therefore, the feeding and management requirements at this stage are the highest. We must understand the growth and development law and physiological characteristics of puppies, give scientific feeding, cooperate with corresponding management and exercise, and accelerate the growth and development of puppies, so as to obtain excellent puppies of the required breed.
(1) Feeding of newborn puppies
A puppy will suck milk as soon as it is born. Puppies should be allowed to lie next to bitches so that they can suck. If there are more than one litter, the last puppy (usually thin and weak) should be sucked on the last two pairs of nipples. After repeated several times, each puppy will have a fixed nipple. Let newborn puppies eat enough colostrum, because colostrum is rich in protein and vitamins, and also contains high magnesium salts, antioxidants, enzymes, hormones and so on. It has the function of relaxing bowels and resisting diseases, and is beneficial to the discharge of meconium; High initial lactic acid is beneficial to promote the activity of digestive tract; Almost all kinds of nutrients in colostrum can be absorbed, which is very beneficial to strengthen the puppy's physique and generate heat to maintain the body temperature. What's more worth mentioning is that colostrum contains a variety of antibodies (maternal antibodies) of bitches, which makes puppies gain disease resistance. Therefore, newborn puppies should be fed colostrum as soon as possible (within 0.5~ 1 hour). The newborn puppy suddenly left its mother's womb and contacted the outside world. At this time, temperature and lung breathing are the biggest differences. The temperature of newborn puppies is relatively low (within 1~2 weeks after birth, the temperature is 34.5 ~ 36℃) and there is no shivering reflex. They completely rely on external heat sources (such as the mother) to maintain their normal body temperature, so they must keep warm (about 50% of puppies die of cold within 1 week). By 6 weeks, puppies have the function of trembling reflex and self-regulation of body temperature. Open eyes at 10~ 16 days old, open eyes at 15~ 17 days old, and the breathing frequency is accelerated, which is helpful to promote and maintain a higher body temperature. After 2 ~ 6 weeks, the body temperature rises to 36 ~ 39. It is necessary to strengthen the supervision of puppies to prevent puppies from dying due to squeezing, trampling, abandonment and starvation of bitches (puppies are not allowed to eat less milk). Some puppies can't breathe when they are born, but bark, that is, they have suspended animation. At this point, they can swing their heads down and left and right, suck amniotic fluid out of the puppy's nose and mouth with a suction ball, wipe the nasal mucosa and whole body with an alcohol cotton ball, and gently press the chest wall rhythmically. Usually, after artificial respiration lasts for 3-4 minutes, the puppy can start breathing spontaneously. At this time, put the puppy in warm water at 39℃, wash away the dirt, dry it with a towel and put it in an incubator.
(2) Feeding of puppies
Childhood is the main stage of growth and development, the body grows rapidly and needs to provide adequate nutrition. Generally speaking, the growth of body mass is mainly in the first three months, the growth of body length is mainly in the fourth to sixth months, and the growth of height is mainly after seven months. Therefore, different diets should be prepared according to different stages of development. Due to the sudden change of living conditions, weaned puppies often feel uneasy, lose appetite and get sick easily. At this time, the feed chosen should be palatable and digestible. Puppies within 3 months should be fed at least 4 times a day. For dogs with poor appetite, we can feed them first, then feed them well, and feed them less often. Good food before eating can keep the dog's appetite strong, and less feeding can make the dog feel unsatisfied all the time, so that he will not be bored and picky about the food. Puppies of 4~6 months have increased food intake and gained weight quickly, and need more feed every day, at least three times a day. Dogs after 6 months can be fed twice a day-the puppy's diet should be fed according to the original dog owner's diet first, and gradually change. Puppies within 3 months should be fed porridge, milk or soybean milk, and appropriate amount of chopped fish and cooked vegetables should be added. In order to reduce the feed cost without affecting the nutrition of puppies, pigs, beef lungs and other organs can be cooked and chopped, mixed with vegetables, corn flour and other cooked food and fed to dogs.
