How do you introduce your dog to mating?

How do you introduce your dog to mating? The answer to how to introduce dogs for mating is not as easy as it sounds, especially when it is your dog’s first time. 

You cannot just force your dog to mate with a bitch. It is essential to make things flow naturally.

Initial interactions between your stud and bitch can be unpredictable. Thus, you should be careful and cautious while introducing dog mating partners. The best way to go ahead is to make the dogs meet before the actual mating day.

 First impressions are important and can set the stage of a relationship between the dogs. In an ideal case, you must select the dogs based on  their age, breed, and temperament as this will play an important role in determining the quality of the litter.

If your dog has a history of fighting with other dogs, it is even more important to introduce both dogs before the mating day. This will ensure that both the dogs are comfortable with each other on their mating day.

Prior meeting will also rule out any element of anxiousness towards the stranger animal. From the breeding point of view, you, as an owner or breeder will also have to analyze if the bitch and stud share pleasant dispositions that  can be passed on to the litter if they mate. Ensure the two dogs play, and get them familiar with each other’s scent during their introductory meeting.

initial meeting could also speed up the mating process by making the animals feel comfortable with each other. This, in turn, will increase the chances of successful breeding.

The initial meeting will also help you in gauging if both the dogs are compatible enough. For the best results, it is highly recommended to ensure that both of them are healthy.

Do not forget to have a look at the heat cycle of the bitch so that she can accept the male and be pregnant..

COLOSTRUM FOR DOGS.

COLOSTRUM. What is it and why is it important.? Colostrum is the first milk produced by the bitch after whelping which must be given to the puppies.

The colostrum found in the breast before and after a puppy is born is rich with antibodies and essential for pups.The pup in-utero was breathing in a sterile environment until birth, so, now needs to build up its own immune defense.

 The colostrum is a nutritious, balanced, and protective food and the pups needs it after losing contact with the placenta. The placenta is a pouch that was providing them with nutrition for growth in the mother’s womb.

Potty Training: Simple, But Not Easy.

Potty Training: Simple, But Not Easy. Potty training is simple, and it is. You take them outside CONSTANTLY, and you walk around with them and you watch them. And when they pee, you praise and give them a treat. Then you can bring them inside for about five minutes of scrutiny-free time and breakfast. But right after breakfast, you are all outside again, walking around, looking for that poop! And when that happens, you praise and give them a treat, and then you can bring them inside again, for maybe 10-15 minutes of scrutiny-free time, before you need to go out again for another pee. You take them out after every nap. You take them out after every meal. You take them out after every play session ends. You take them out if it’s been more than 15 minutes since they last "went"! Simple! Not easy! And what if they don’t “go”? Well, the smart thing to do is to pop them into a crate, because very few puppies will potty in a crate, so you can make sure that they don’t have a chance to “make a mistake” and pee or poop indoors, where you don’t want them to while you are not paying attention. It is not possible to watch them every minute, even while sheltering in place! And if they potty in the house (or in your home office), they have just effectively been reinforced for doing so; it feels good to relieve the fullness of your bladder! And every mistake seems to build on itself; it’s far easier to just make darn sure a mistake doesn’t happen. In my experience, if you can get through three days of not letting them make even ONE mistake indoors, you’re pretty much home free with the potty training. They will want to go outdoors to potty and get right to business when you take them outside.

How to Deal with a Newborn Puppy Crying?.

How to Deal with a Newborn Puppy Crying? Crying puppies indicate distress, which is caused by environmental or health factors. You should start by inspecting the puppy for a few hours. Examine their diet, sleep, and behavioral patterns. Their body language can very well translate the issues they might be dealing with. The problem might be as simple as their diet. If they’re not getting enough food, you can ask recommendations from your vet about formula milk. Moreover, you could also get the mother checked up if she is not attending to their puppies in a normal manner or giving them the adequate feed. There could be problems with her milk production. It is necessary for you to take a trip to the vet and get an overall checkup from time to time. Get your puppy screened for any abnormalities or congenital disabilities. The vet can inspect the puppy for a bloated stomach, pain, and any sort of discomfort that is causing them to cry! Orphaned Puppy Crying Dog breeders can be stressed if their puppies quickly become orphans. Without the mother, a puppy will require constant care for the first two weeks of being born. Try to purchase a substitute for the milk and feed the puppy every 2 hours. Newborn puppies cry to alert you of their hunger. You can also take a warm cloth and press it against their bottoms to stimulate them to urinate and defecate. You can also start immunizing them after they are at least six weeks of age. Make sure they get deworming shots and proper treatment for fleas after a certain age. Taking care of a newborn puppy is a full-time job. However, the puppies do learn and adjust with time. They learn how to eat, drink, and maintain their temperature on their own. On your end, you will learn to distinguish their different types of crying and react appropriately.

Veterinary medicine: do puppies pant while sleeping?

Veterinary medicine: do puppies pant at while sleeping? The answer is yes. In fact, lots of panting is generally normal for a puppy -- even in his sleep. However too much could indicate a health problem. Because how can you tell the difference between normal and abnormal amounts of panting in a young pup? It's actually not very easy, which is just one reason why your puppy should have regular check-ups with the veterinarian. It's also an important reason why you should pay close attention to his living conditions and general well-being as he grows. Puppies don't just pant to catch their breath, they do it to burn off excess heat. Dogs does not sweat so the moisture in his mouth carries heat away from his bodies which is why he leaves his mouth open and pants. Panting can indicate general health problems as well as heat-related issues, extra care is the norm. If your puppy is too warm at night,especially if he has irregular nasal passages, like pugs and bulldogs do -- he may become overheated and/or struggle to breathe. Heavy panting at all hours also may indicate a respiratory problem such as pneumonia, or heart failure. If you're concerned about your Fido's panting and the temperature doesn't seem like a factor, see your vet immediately.
