Making your Home Safe for your New Puppy

1.Never leave your plates, utensils, magazines, papers and other things on the coffee table or any low furniture as your puppy will try to get them and could chew on such things. These could cause them harm like choking or being able to swallow something harmful.
2.Trash should never be exposed to the puppies. They should be kept in a secure place for them not to have access to it.
3. When you have ashtrays at home, make sure that your puppies do not reach them as they could suffer from nicotine poisoned when they get to chew and swallow cigarette butts.

Camping would really be a great experience especially if you get to enjoy it and spend this wonderful activity with your dog. Your camping will even be more enjoyed when all the preparations and the right planning are done. It is important for you to make sure that you bring all the necessary things your and your dog are going to use throughout the camp.
Some supplies you should have packed for your dog include two leashes at least just in case one of them breaks or if it gets lost, plastic bags you can use to clean and pick up after your dog, and there should be plenty of fresh drinking water.

Taking Dog Vitals

1
Use a rectal thermometer to take your dog's temperature when you think he might be ill. Rub a little petroleum jelly on the tip and insert it 1 inch into his rectum. Leave it there for 1 minute. Hold the base of his tail firmly during this process to prevent him from sitting on the thermometer.

2
Read the temperature. A normal temperature for a healthy dog is between 101 degrees and 102 degrees. Some vets recommend calling their office when your dog's temperature reaches 103 degrees. A temperature of 100 degrees or lower in a female dog, close to giving birth, indicates labor is imminent.

DOG ILLNESSES AND DISORDERS AND SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR



Your dog will not be able to tell you that is wrong with him or that he is ill. You as the owner should always be on the look out for signs that might show of an illness. it is important for you to be observant as early detection of a disease or an illness can help your dog get treatment at once.

Detecting early signs that there is smothing wrong with your dog can best be done by you as you are the one that knows your dog well.  Here are some things you have to look out for:
Abrasions or chafing

New Puppy Schedule

Puppy Schedule

This is approximately the schedule we have been keeping with the puppies.  It is, of course, flexible depending on the activities during the day. 


Puppies are able to go about two hours at nap time before they will need a bathroom
break. 

- Try to take them out before they start whining in their crate.

- When they tire out, put them back in their crate

- After a half hour of playtime, they may need a bathroom break outside again.  Don’t take your eyes off them inside in case they decide to christen your floor.

Winning Puppy's Respect, Trust and Confidence

Winning Your Puppy's Trust, Respect and Confidence

Many people try to win their new puppy's love by letting the puppy always have its way. The pup is showered with affection and attention because he is so cute and cuddly. Buckets of affection is a wonderful thing for most puppies, but it must be tempered with respect.

If you give in to your puppy's every whim, your pup will never learn self control and self discipline. Your puppy will never learn to respect you. If your puppy does not respect you, it will have no reason to do anything for you.

Puppy Chewing and Biting

Puppy's go through a teething stage from about 4 months to the age of 10 months. They loose their baby teeth from about 4 to 6 months and their adult teeth begin to grow in at about 6 to 10 months. It is important to allow your puppy to chew to help his teeth come in, however you need to teach your puppy what is ok to chew and what is not. During this time your puppy's' teeth will feel very uncomfortable and the pup will want to chew on everything trying to relieve the discomfort. He is not chewing purposely to upset you, he is simply uncomfortable.

MALE VERSES FEMALE PUPPY

Male Versus Female
What Makes a Better Pet - Male or Female??

When I get a lot of requests for schnazuers puppies and a lot of these people want a girl. I feel really bad because there are some people out there looking for the best puppy around and turn it down because of the gender. How sad is that??? In my opinion sex should be one of the last considerations in choosing a puppy, health and temperament are the most important.  If you have your mind set on one sex, just remember if you heard bad things about one sex or the other probably most of what you have heard were isolated situations and either sex can be and are wonderful pets to have.

ONLY THREE COLORS BLACK, SALT AND PEPPER & BLACK AND SILVER

As you research for your future schnauzer (and I'm glad you are doing your research) you are going to come across MANY website selling designer schnauzers or many colors. Its seems like monthly there is a new color coming out along with micro, toy, super coats teacup. It saddens me to see money maker puppy mill people out there deceiving the public on the schnauzer breed. These breeders many times breed several breeds and do not and CANNOT register their dogs with the American Kennel Club or Canadian Kennel Club therefore you see these made up registrations ARPI, UKC, CKC(continental kennel club).
