Basic rules of content and education
In most cases, cute puppies are small pets with beautiful hair, for which you need quality care. In addition, many pets have an inflated self-conceit, and therefore require a good upbringing and training.
Cute dogs are often forgiven for not the most beautiful behavior, but this is a common mistake of inexperienced breeders. These dogs perfectly feel their power over the owners in the literal sense of the word "sit on the neck" to their household. From a very young age, such a dog needs to be accustomed to a certain behavior - the puppy must know its place in the house, it needs a certain mode of walking and feeding, he should be familiar with the basic commands, including the prohibiting ones.
It is extremely important to wean the puppy from the habit of nibbling shoes and spoiling pieces of furniture as soon as possible, since even a miniature dog is quite capable in the shortest time to damage the appearance of an apartment.
In order for a pet to fully grow and develop, He needs to get a balanced diet. The seriousness of this process should not be ignored, otherwise the consequences for the puppy's health may be the most deplorable.
Many breeders prefer ready-made feeds, as they initially have a balanced composition, enriched with vitamins, while significantly saving time on preparing food for the dog. However, when buying, pay attention to the labeling - You need mixes for miniature dogs, since large pellets designed for large animals can be too tough for your pets.
Please note that when choosing store feed preference better to give products of super premium or holistics - they are made from products of the highest quality and contain all the optimal proportions of BJU.
If you like "naturalka", then keep in mind that at least 70% of the diet should consist of meat (lean veal and beef are suitable, as well as liver, heart, udder and other high-quality offal). Offal give boiled meat and raw, but pre-frozen and chopped. To share the rest 30% are porridges (rice or buckwheat is best absorbed by the dog's body), as well as vegetables, lactic acid products and necessarily chopped greens.
Keep in mind, little dogs do not need frequent walks with high physical activityHowever, if we exclude them altogether, then they can throw out all the accumulated energy in games with home furnishings, clothes and shoes of their households.
Therefore, it is extremely important to give your cute dog as much attention as possible and get all the necessary toys, and in some situations wean them from the wrong actions.
Owners of cute dogs may have some difficulties with keeping animals.
- Effeminacy - The fact is that decorative dogs are usually very fragile. For example, a Chinese crested hen or york can break its paws, even simply by jumping from a chair onto a hard floor. In addition, such pets often freeze on walks, so when walking in the cold season they need special clothes, and sometimes shoes. In addition, these dogs often have allergies.
- Breeding difficulties - This applies only to small cute dogs. Because of its low weight, there are a lot of restrictions on the weight of the dog. For example, a female whose weight did not reach 1.6 kg is forbidden to be allowed to mating, and childbirth itself usually brings a lot of trouble and most often must take place in a clinic under the supervision of a veterinarian. This implies additional costs for medical services.
- Lovely dogs are owners of beautiful fluffy wool., which means that it requires special care, which includes daily brushing and the use of specialized shampoos, conditioners and oils.
And finally, cute dogs will not serve as a guard or watchman, so you should not send them to the booth or to the local official, even if you live in your own home.
