A dog: why?

Acquiring a dog is an act far more responsible than changing home or car. Think about it!

Among the many questions that every buyer should ask himself, it is one that seems inescapable: “Will I be a good teacher?”  . In fact, to warrant the presence of a dog at his side, a master worthy of the name must:

• strictly comply with their animal
• offer him a sufficient living space
• practice with him daily activity
• pay attention to his health
• the tattooed
• give him a balanced diet
• educate

If these conditions can be met, it would be wise to reconsider that choice. For the arrival of a dog in the lives of his teachers raises many constraints that have to accept. This is the price we pay for a good complicity between you and your companion can settle.

If you think for cons to satisfy these duties of the “master”, then you’re one of the lucky ones and are ready for “big” adventure!

Buying a thought

To put the odds in your favor:

• Never “s offer” a puppy on a “blow of heart” or because it is in “Air time”
• Never give it to a child only because he promises to take care
• Do not buy a puppy younger than 2 months
• Do not buy a breed that does not match your temperament

Where?

• The best choice to buy from a breeder who must be a specialist.
• Avoid farms “multibreed” akin to a supermarket for the sale of dog. A conscientious breeder can not properly claim to know and raise more than three races at once!
• Flee pet pups without offering LOF . (1) the dubious origins! Moreover, prices are as high as from a breeder recommended by the various breed clubs (2).
• Consider also the SPA especially if you already have a little experience with dogs. An abandoned dog tends to focus even more to his new master!

1. Without LOF: describes a puppy is not registered with Studbook French, which means it can never be confirmed or produce future puppies with pedigree.

2. Contact the Canine Central Company 93535 Aubervilliers

 

When?

• Not before the age of 8 to 9 weeks. Give him time to learn the language of its kind. It is very important! A puppy separated too early can develop his aggression toward his peers, because his ambition and appetite of the territory have not been limited by the scope of other dogs.
  
• Not after four months if the environment that you are proposing is different from what he has experienced since its adaptability are reduced. A good breeder will have taken the precaution to discover elements of the puppy environment outside the home.
  
• Ensure that the “parents” are not dysplastic (malformed hip)
• Especially not to rush his choice, gather information and choose a breed suited to his temperament.
• During the holidays! The youngest child can benefit from the attention of his master.

Food and dangers

• Up to six months, divide the ration in three doses and at regular times
• Do not forget water
• Do not give the “leftovers” from table to avoid overweight
• Skip to vary his food, because a sudden change causes diarrhea
• Warning! Ranger Poisonous Plants: mimosa, oleander, lily-Diffenbachia, tulips and rhododendron.
• Warning! Avoid leaving objects lying around that he might ingest.
• Warning! Do not feed an adult dog just before or after physical effort. Dog risk a reversal of often fatal stomach!

Education

A) Clean

• To accustom a puppy to become clean, it must first make frequent trips and regular hours with him (every 3 hours to 2 months including at night!).
• He dipped the nose “inside” is not an option especially if the offense was committed in your absence. The dog is unable to “remember “. No need to scold him ticking!

B) Damage

• All puppies commit damage!
• Do not give him an old slipper to chew on, because it is unable to differentiate the new pair of Sir! (Ditto for the socks …)
• Buy him toys avoiding objects too small.
• Do not leave him alone too long.
