What should I pay attention to when raising Bellington terrier?
The owner should observe the movements of the newborn Bellington puppies at any time and place to avoid the bitch crushing the puppies. Bellington puppies develop rapidly during the growing period, so special attention should be paid when feeding puppies.
Five days later, when the weather is sunny, I will take the Bellington terrier puppies outdoors to bask in the sun with the dog's mother, usually twice a day for about half an hour each time. Let it breathe fresh air, use ultraviolet rays in the sun, kill bacteria on the body, promote bone development and avoid getting sick. When you can walk, you can walk outside. The initial time should be short, and it can be gradually lengthened later. Bellington terrier puppies can only open their eyes about 13 days after birth. At this time, it is necessary to avoid strong light stimulation to avoid damaging the eyes of Bellington terrier puppies.

About 20 days, you can add a small amount of rice soup and porridge to the milk.
After 20 days, in sunny weather, let the bitch take the Bellington terrier puppies to the yard at any time (provided you have a yard), and then go back to the room at night or in rainy days. If Bellington terrier puppies get wet in the rain, dry them with a dry towel immediately. Pay attention to keep warm to prevent colds.

Pay special attention to
1. Puppies are different from adult dogs. When the newly bought puppies arrive home, they must carefully prepare the feed for the first time. In terms of nutrition, animal protein, calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients are very important, because generally speaking, puppies who gain one kilogram from six months to one year old need twice as many calories as adult dogs. Therefore, in the process of puppy growth, it is best to match the appropriate nutritional feed, or simply buy dog food with balanced nutritional design produced by the manufacturer, so that the dog owner does not have to bother to match the feed.
Because the puppy has a small stomach, it is necessary to master the principle of eating less and eating more meals. When you are just weaned, you should feed it more than four times a day. At about six months, you should feed it three times a day. With the increase of age, it is gradually reduced to feeding twice a day. You should master the weight every time you feed, and don't let the puppy overeat.
Try not to feed some people to the puppy. The dog's request for food is very simple. He wolfs it down and comes to everyone. When a puppy is used to eating what some people eat, it will become dependent on what others eat. Because the nutrition in what people eat is different from that of puppies, the result will be uneven nutrition absorption of puppies and affect the development of puppies.
Another thing to pay attention to is that you should never feed the puppy milk or other dairy products, such as ice cream. If puppies consume too much milk or dairy products at one time, gastrointestinal diseases such as diarrhea will occur. If the newborn puppies are short of milk, they should be fed special milk and heated to a temperature close to human body temperature.
The newborn puppy is not in a hurry to supplement calcium, because the gastrointestinal tract of the puppy is not fully developed. At this time, we should pay attention to feeding whole intestine formula, which is the most important to regulate the stomach.
