How long will it take Chihuahua puppies to open their eyes and walking around?

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Ok my chihuahua just have puppies and we are wondering when the eyes will open and walking around.

Ahh bless – little weeny ones – lovely! Congratulations firstly, how proud are you ha ha? Their eyes will start to open in about 7 – 10 days, maybe longer as they’re all different. The eyes will start to open from the inner side first, near the nose so they’ll look a bit strange until the eye is fully open. All pup’s eyes are dark blue when they first open and its so attractive you want them to stay that way ha ha but they change again in a few months! Their ears are closed as well so they’re deaf for the moment – they open around the same time as the eyes so all your cooing etc has gone to waste ha ha. They’ll find their feet when they’re around ten – twelve days, you’ll notice that they can move around a little more quickly and once they really find their feet there’ll be no stopping them ha ha, that’ll happen at around two and half weeks – by three weeks you’ll be tearing your hair out – you’ll wake up and the little souls will be all over the place crying for mum to bring them back ha ha, its a really lovely time for all involved, enjoy it because it passes far too quickly! Best of luck with everything, congratulations again, new life is so lovely.

What should I look for in an English bulldog puppy before buying it?

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

I have always wanted an English bulldog and finally my fiance and I have decided to get one. I understand that bulldogs have lots of health issues but I was wondering if there were any signs to look for before purchasing a puppy.

I don’t have an English Bulldog, but my best friend has had three. My advice would be to check out the breeder, check out the facitilities, are the dogs nice and clean? All the dogs should appear lovable and very sociable. Take a look at the parents, ask to see the pups parents health certificates and vet records, ask or the vets number and give him a call. (Any reputable breeder, despite the dog breed should have NO problem giving you this info.) Also, a good breeder will give you 24-72 hours to get the pup checked out at your own vet and if there are any expensive or life threatening conditions, a good breeder will offer to pay for them, OR replace the puppy. Hope this helps, and good luck with the puppy search! English Bullies are some of the sweetest and most adorable dogs. (other tha APBT’s that is. lol!)

My dog is gonna have puppies and I want to know what I can do to help.And what would I need?

Tuesday, February 16th, 2010

I had a dog that had puppies befor but that was along time ago so I really dont know what to do.And im not sure if she will stay still when she is haveing the puppies because she I really hypper.Is there N E thing I will need to do befor she has puppies and during shes haveing puppies?Do I need to buy n e thing.

Just provide her with a comfortable place to do her thing and it is best if you let her do her thing by herself. It provides better bonding between mother and pup. Mother dogs have natural instinct. It’s best not to handle the pups for a few days. And don’t get grossed out when she licks the puppies clean when the first come out.

Rottweiler registration with AKC is it illegal not to? Im clueless about registration?

Friday, February 12th, 2010

I am going to get a pure german rottweiler soon and i was curious in my searchings I see people say they are AKC, ACA, or CKC registered. I dont’ know anything about this. Could someone explain to me if it is necessary to get them registered. Is it illegal not to? Does it matter where they are registered?

You don’t HAVE to register the dog – but they need to be registered in puppyhood or they can’t be and it costs $5 so why not? Usually this is consider proof they are prebred…..
AKC is the biggest & most prestigious registry in the US UKC is another good one.
There are two CKC registires – one is the equvlaent of AKC in canadia- CANADIAN kennel club
However now we come to the other CKC (contential kennel club) and the ACA
AKC (and UKC) have strict standards and anyone caught fudging records can be banned from ever registering a dog again and in addition AKC is now cracking down on conditions in "high volume" breeders. AS a result some of those banned breeders created "registries" of their own(CKC & ACA being two) so they could continue selling "registered" pups – many of them don’t actually care if the pup is the breed claimed. All of them are a red flag that the pup is NOT well breed and possibly is not pure.

How can I make sure my puppies get a good home?

Friday, February 5th, 2010

They were born June 24th. We arent giving them away just yet, they are eating regular food and everything, well we put water in it and they seem to be doing fine, but I was just wondering, what can I do to be sure they are going to a good home? I love all of them soooo much, I wish I could keep them all lol. and YES my dog is going to be fixed soon so please dont say anything about that its getting pretty old. We are already planning on charging 10 dollars because we hand fed them and it was REALLY expensive, considering she had 9 puppies, but we are sending a bad of purina puppy chow with each one of them also, just to get them started. What else can we do?

I’m having the same trouble with my kittens. I would just ask questions .. ask .. ask .. ask.

Questions to ask:
1. Do you have a house/apt/ or condo?
2. Do you have a fenced in back yard?
3. Do you have any small children?
4. Have you owned dogs before?
5. Do you currently have any dogs?

And remember .. this all depends on what kind of puppies they are. If they are good apartment dogs then no worries if the people live in an apartment. But i wouldn’t worry too much. Just make sure they look like good people who will take care of your pup.

If the people live somewhere where they can’t have animals, and they say they ARE aloud .. honestly, theres no way around that unless you are part of an animal shelter or animal rescue program .. you do not have the right to call the apt. complex where they live and ask.

But if its an aggressive dog MAKE SURE you let them know not to have it around small children .. things like that. If you don’t know too much about the breed then google your dog .. get some info about her breed .. that will help a lot.

www.dogbreedinfo.com

If you have anymore questions, just email me.

When my fiance and i got our australian shepherd the lady said she wouldn’t let him go to anyone living in an apartment .. well, we knew in about a year we would be moving out of our apt. into a house so we just lied. We really liked him and we have seen NUMEROUS people around our complex with bigger dogs then this.

So i honestly wouldn’t be too picky. I would get them into the vet for their first shots and everything. I wouldn’t of purchased my pup if he hadn’t.
If they look like they are good people, loves dogs and show that they really like the animal .. let it go :)

Good luck

If a 7 week old Chihuahua was diagnosed with Parvovirus, what are his chances of living?

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

I bought a 6 week old chihuahua. After a week he was very lethargic and threw up. I took him to the vet the very next day, and was diagnosed with Parvovirus. Does he have a good chance of survival? Right now he is in Treatment.

The quicker you get treatment the better the pups chances of recovery. Only time will tell if your pup makes it. I hope so.
Best of luck!

What is the easiest way to raise a English Bulldog?

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I just got a English Bulldog puppy and I don’t know how to raise it ? I have gone to quite a lot of websites about it and each one says something different? The puppy is only 3 months old, weights 20 lbs. and lives inside of the house.

Go with the advice given by the puppy’s breeder, as they know their line of dogs better than anyone, and if you trusted them enough to buy a pup, you’ll probably trust them enough to follow their advice.

If you bought the dog from another source, than unfortunately you won’t have access to such a valuable resource. Having a breeder as a friend and adviser is the best way to go, especially for a first time dog owner. However, if you look in your area, you may be able to find a bulldog breeder who will be able to advise you of what you need to know.

From the information you have given me, my only piece of advice is this: don’t let your puppy get overweight. At 3 months, they are still really growing and it is not good to put extra weight on a developing body. If you are unsure to tell if your puppy is too fat, have your vet fill you in.

Best of Luck!
