1. The breeding ground of the golden retriever

1. Cold regions

Basically, Golden Retrievers have a hardy physique and don't need to worry too much, but when in a cold environment, they can be fed high-protein, high-calorie dog food. To avoid cold winds blowing directly on the golden retriever, you can use a blanket or rug to enclose the dog cage.

2. Hot areas

Due to the special skin structure and hair characteristics, golden retrievers cannot tolerate hot and humid environments, so they need to be careful. In the early morning, when the weather is cooler, take the golden retriever out for a walk, and at the same time, the golden retriever likes to play in the water. When keeping outdoors, move the kennel to a place where direct sunlight does not shine and keep it clean at all times.

3. Indoor breeding

Diet: Give quality dog food at a fixed time, and never let it share the human diet.

Excretion: Most of the dogs are outdoors, so they can be trained to excrete outdoors. During the puppy period, it is hard to train its excretion habits, but even if it is raised in an apartment, take it outdoors to excrete.

Sports: (1) More and more people keep the golden retriever indoors, but only when the owner's family is with him, can he let it move freely indoors. When going out or at night, danger can occur, so be sure to let the Golden Retriever return to its own cage.

(2) People from dual-income families may have to go out to walk their dogs at night, which will make the dog's skin fragile. Therefore, pay more attention to taking the golden retriever out for sunbathing.

4. Outdoor breeding

It is more dangerous to keep the Golden Retriever outdoors, therefore. At night, place the kennel in the hallway (a transitional space between the interior and exterior of the house) to familiarize the Golden Retriever with the outdoors. Even in the courtyard of their own home. It's also dangerous to let the Golden Retriever run around. Therefore, a safe play area for dogs can be enclosed with a folding movable fence to keep the golden retriever entertained. When playing in the yard or outdoors, be sure to have someone on the sidelines.

Second, the feeding method of the golden retriever

Suitable food for puppies

(1) Special food for puppies: such as dog food and canned food.

(2) Calcium: Supplement calcium products with high natural content such as super calcium, and promote the development of puppies' bones and teeth.

(3) Milk powder for puppies: there are special milk powder for puppies and goats.

(4) Egg yolk: The advantage of egg yolk is that it is not only rich in protein, but also contains vitamin A, calcium and minerals that are easy to digest and absorb.

(5) Vitamins and minerals: For puppies with poor physical fitness, consider supplementing some vitamins and minerals. You can consider feeding 21 gold vita, and there are also pet puppies gold vita.

(6) Meat: Although cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. are excellent foods, they are fed to puppies. It is advisable to choose fat-free parts because fat is prone to spoilage. But feed cooked, not raw meat!

At different stages of puppy development, the growth capacity of various parts of the puppy is unbalanced. In the first 3 months of life. Mainly to grow the body and gain weight. From the 4th month to 6 months, the main growth body length, after 7 months the main growth body height, which is based on the nutrients required by the different stages of development of the dog, to determine the type and amount of feed to be fed. After the puppy separates from the mother dog and enters independent life, it needs to be provided with sufficient and rich protein, fat, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins throughout the growth and development period. Such as grain, lean meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, dried fish oil, bone meal, etc., and should be done regularly and quantitatively.

Puppies aged 2~3 months. Feed 4~5 times a day, and the daily standard for each puppy is 200 grams of lean meat. 300 grams of milk, 1 egg, 250~500 grams of rice, 250~300 grams of vegetables, 3~5 grams of salt, and an appropriate amount of vitamins and minerals, calcium powder such as super calcium, etc. If possible, you can give the puppy some pig and cow cartilage to eat, but do not feed chicken bones. After 8 months of age, it can be fed according to the feed ration standard of adult dogs.

The above standard is the amount of large dogs, other types of dogs should be determined according to the situation, generally speaking, after feeding the puppy to eat, there is still food left in the food bowl, indicating that there is too much food; On the contrary, after eating, the dog continues to lick the food bowl with its tongue or look at the owner, indicating that there is less food to be given and not enough to eat. Note: The feed to the puppy must be of high quality and fresh, prepared separately, freshly fed (except for commercial food), and pay attention to hygiene to prevent gastrointestinal diseases. The owner of the puppy should feed the dog personally, and should do it regularly and quantitatively every day, and do not give any food to eat during the non-feeding time, so as not to make the dog develop bad habits. And to carefully observe the puppy eating table, especially during the group breeding period, to prevent a small number of puppies from overeating, resulting in other puppies can not eat enough, can not eat unevenly. Because the puppy has a weak digestive function, the food should not be too hard at the beginning, and more rotten (processed) food should be fed. Do not feed stiff or cold foods such as bones too early, so as not to affect the development of the dog.

3. The hairdressing of the golden retriever

If a golden retriever does not comb its coat for a long time, its metabolism on the surface of its skin will be hindered, resulting in skin infections. Therefore, brushing the hair of the Golden Retriever with a brush every day can remove dust and lice eggs from the attached Golden Retriever hair. Brushing the Golden Retriever's coat stimulates the surface of the skin, promotes blood circulation and improves the nutritional status of the skin.

Generally, it is enough to comb the golden retriever once every 2-3 days, but it is also very good to be able to stick to it once a day. To groom a golden retriever, you should first choose a suitable comb. When combing, the owner's movements should be gentle and not pulled at will to avoid pulling the golden retriever.

For the first time, you should comb in the direction in which the hair grows. Starting from the dog's head, the ears, neck, back, sides of the body, ****, abdomen, limbs, hips, and tail are combed in turn. If you get entangled hair, you should start from the tip of the hair and comb it little by little to the root of the hair, and do not pull hard during the combing action.

Of course, if the tangled hair is really difficult to comb, the owner can not hesitate to use scissors to reduce the hair ball, and then comb it. After the first combing, you should comb it in the direction of the reverse hair to further remove the dirt and dust from the hair, and remove the hair that has fallen out or is about to fall out. Finally, in the direction of hair growth, comb it smoothly.

There are two more things to keep in mind when grooming a Golden Retriever. When combing in summer, the air humidity is relatively large, and the skin of the golden retriever is easily sensitive, so maintain the humidity and temperature in the room, insist on grooming the golden retriever every day, and help the dog massage the hair follicles, which can effectively promote hair growth.

In addition, it is necessary to trim the long hair around the lower feet, especially the hair between the toes, where some dirt and foreign objects often accumulate, which may cause inflammation. (To be continued.) )
