There are some dog breeds that have been news since ancient times, as evidence has been found in daily use utensils achieved in excavations. One of those races is the Shar Pei, which is believed to be originally from China and from which drawings made on ceramic vessels have been found that date back to more than 200 B.C.   This breed has common body characteristics with other races also considered old, which are supposed to have allowed them to adapt and resist the very diverse environmental conditions that they have been able to face for so many years. We are going to know a little more about this breed of dog that had a great boom in ancient times as a company animal. Size: Medium. Weight: Between 18 and 30kg. Hair type: Very short and smooth. Character: Distrustful, devout, affectionate, reserved, independent, loving Health: Quite delicate health Life expectancy: Between 9 and 11 years. Shar Pei History There is an unseeding hypothesis that Shar Pei are descendants of the Chinese Chow Chow race because both have a bluish black tongue. However, there is no certainty of this data because, during its greatest boom in the time of the Han dynasty (206 BC to 220 A.D.), Central Asia was a commercial traffic route between the colonies of the Roman Empire and that could allow the arrival in China of dog breeds that were originally from the Roman colonies.   Some races of mastiffs have also been considered among their ancestors, such as the Dogo del Tibet, and it has even been pointed to the Mountain Race of the Pyrenees, which shares with Sharpei the presence of double supplementary fingers, although this last relationship is not so strong, because there are breeds in France, Mongolia and other Asia regions that also present this characteristic. Many of the Physical characteristics of Shar Pei They assume that this breed could be used as a guard dog, although the Chinese considered it as a fight dog and also used it for hunting. Then They were used as company dogs Therefore, when the Popular Republic of China and the communist regime were established, the Sharpei were persecuted and almost extinguished because they considered themselves a symbol of capitalism. That persecution caused some specimens to be taken out of China and some varieties, such as the American. In Hong Kong, some copies were also rescued, but the line that was reproduced was of lower quality than it currently exists.  Shar Pei Characteristics The most distinctive characteristic of Shar Pei is the amount of folds or wrinkles that are formed in the skin, especially when he is a puppy. In fact, his Chinese name means "sand skin”In allusion to the movement of wrinkles when moving and to be rough to touch. It is considered a medium dog, with a square and fornid body constitution, largely in proportion to the body, wrinkles on the forehead and on the cheeks and towards the area of ​​the tail. Its colors can be varied, among them is the black, gray or blue, the lilac, which is a very clear tone of gray, the color, the color, the color, the color, the color, the color, the color of the color Chocolate.

The snout form is also peculiar and characteristic of this race; It is wide from the base to the tip and can present a bulging. Another of its distinctive characteristics is the coloration of the tongue, the palate, the gums and the Belfos, which are between blue and black. The lips are very fleshy. The shape of its triangle -shaped ears is striking, with a rounded tip, directed towards the eyes.

Puppies are unruly and like to play, but that changes once they grow. The dogs of this race must be subject to a fairly strict and careful training because their hunting nature can make them little sociable and irreverent. During their formation and growth they must be subjected to noise, presence of other dogs and groups of people to overcome their natural suspicion towards the unknown. They can have a Very active behavior, efficiently performing many tasks taught.  Shar Pei care Shar Pei feed The dogs of the Shar Pei race are very sensitive to allergies And they have a delicate stomach, so food must be based on rice and fish, mainly, foods that are more digestible to them. Shar Pei Body Care There are many myths around The body care that dogs of the Shar Pei race must have.

Of course, after the bathroom or if you get wet for some other reason, special care must be taken to dry each of the folds of your skin to avoid the appearance of fungi. Since their fur is very short, they can be exposed to sunburn and must also protect themselves from excessive cold.   With them you should be more careful to avoid flea attack and ticks, because skin folds are a perfect hiding place for these parasites.

Sharpei hair should also be brushed weekly and should not be cut, to avoid possible wounds in the most rough skin areas. Eyes and ears care should be a bit more detailed. Again, The skin folds of the Shar Pei They can be somewhat annoying, because they stimulate the formation of legañas in the eyes, which must be eliminated with boiled or chamomile water to avoid their accumulation and that infections are produced.   For its part, the small auditory channel that Sharpei possesses due to the peculiar shape of its ears makes it very easy to accumulate wax and dirt, which you must monitor to remove every day if necessary. Sometimes, you can feel a strong smell that will require the visit to the veterinarian. Physical activity The dogs of the race Shar Pei require daily exercises because they are very energetic animals that have a tendency to overweight.

Although unlike humans and other species, in the dog, Saliva does not have digestive enzymes that begin to degrade food, so this process falls more in the internal organs. For this reason, they are not easy to digest foods such as cereals. Thus, a real quality food for dogs, such as I think blue wolf, they find it much easier to swallow for their reduced contribution in cereals and Its high proportion of meat, suitable even for human consumption. For the esophagus The esophagus is that tube through which the food will begin to circulate through the dog's internal organs. In this case it is a long organ and where a kind of mucus is being released that helps to facilitate the progress of food. Although a system of contractions is also generated, through which the food bolus is formed. In the stomach As is often the case in carnivores, there is only one stomach, but this is one of a Large size, because of both storage and digestion functions are fulfilled. It is in the stomach where food is stored for a long time so that gastric acids They can do their function. It should be noted that in dogs, these acids are up to 6 times more corrosive than in the case of humans, which is also motivated by their natural function for digest more ease, and in the same way it has a Greater bacteria resistance, such as those of decomposition. In the internal stomach walls are distributed gastric glands, which release gastric acids that begin to perform various chemical processes in food; For example, promoting corrosion and subsequent protein absorption through these same ducts. However, it is important to remember that proteins break down in amino acids. However, almost half of these cannot be synthesized by the dog, so their contribution is necessary through their diet. For this reason, the super premium feed for dogs such as that of blue wolf, is widely recommended by veterinarians, as it includes a proportion of different foods of both animal origin and vegetable, which allow to cover the totality of its different nutritional needs. In these glands, enzymes such as pepsin are also released, which transforms both proteins and fats. Covering the internal stomach fabrics is a layer called Connective tissue, which - among other functions - helps to begin the distribution of nutrients to various parts of the animal's body. Through the liver The liver also have a large size in dogs, because it also fulfills multiple functions. It emphasizes that bile is generated here, which is essential for digest fats, before becoming stored by bile vesicular. This vital organ also serves as a kind of warehouse, where reserves of various nutrients are saved such as vitamins and minerals. In the liver, proteins and glucose are synthesized, in addition to having an essential function for Eliminate toxic substances that have reached this point of the digestive system. To the pancreas Although it is a much smaller organ, it also fulfills important functions in digestion; particularly regarding the Fat assimilation, which has a capital importance for dogs. However, the dog's pancreas is also responsible for other functions such as Glucose level regulation In the blood. Follow the small intestine It is the longest of the dog's organs, and due to its system with abundant intestinal villi, the space in square centimeters ends up multiplying even more. This elongated form allows the food circulation is regulated, as nutrient flow is also required; thus initiating most of the chemical digestion that is carried out inside the dog. It is made up of three main parts; The main function of the first is to take care of gastric juices, the nutrients are absorbed in the intermediate phase and the final section has the driving mission to the large intestine. It flows into the large intestine In this intestine is where absorb most of the water ingested by the animal, after it has also fulfilled lubrication functions throughout the digestive system. Although this is where they are stored and finally expelled towards the rectum area waste from digestion; And yes, the chemical processes that give their characteristic smell of this waste are also generated here. It should be noted that even the large intestine can also reach foods that could not be digested. For example, if you eat too many bones, some pieces may be almost whole to this part, which can cause various damages. For this reason, this kind of food must only be sporadic or even avoid them completely, and in no way to be part of an abundant or regular diet. As you can see, digestion in a dog has very particular characteristics that deserve special food. Its base has to be of animal origin, because without a good diet, which are mainly cereals and a minimum supply of animal protein, you will be contributing to the deterioration of their health. On the other hand, apply a feed where the need for fats, proteins is taken into account and also complemented with essential vitamins and minerals, as is carried out in Premium -feeding as the blue wolf, It allows to guarantee a more complete and healthy development for your pet.

It is there that it appears with the name we know today. Physical characteristics of the Bordeaux Dogo Dog The Bordeaux Dogo It is a breed of dogs that belong to the family of mastiffs. Corresponds to the group of dogs defined as molososo, this means that Burgundy's Dogo is a dog of great strength and muscles. Bordeaux's dog's head is large to know how brachycephala, that is, his head is huge but flattened and with the snout cut. His face has many wrinkles. His eyes are very separate, they are oval shape and usually the color varies between green, caramel or dark brown. Its ears are short and fallen. An adult male burgundy dodge can measure up to 70 cm high and can reach a weight greater than 50 kilos. The females are also large reaching their adult state about 65 cm high and reaching a weight of 45 kilos or more. Its fur is mahogany or yellow, short, very soft, bright and silky appearance so it does not require much brushing. It has a very prominent jaw and a great panel. The limbs are muscular and the tail is wide at the base. Some burgundy dogs have white fur at the ends of their legs and in the chest. His life time is 10 years, although it is known that under good care they can live up to 12 years. A very particular characteristic of the Bordeaux Dogo is that it is a dog that drools a lot, but this should not be a limitation to have it as a pet since it is a dog with more virtues than defects and extremely adorable. In its origins it did not have the same appearance that it has today, it particularly did not have all those wrinkles and folds in the face. Character and personality of the Dogo de Bordeaux Despite being a gigantic dog That he could scare us in a first impression, Bordeaux's dog is actually the opposite. Burgundy's gangs is an excessively quiet animal, playful and very intelligent. He likes comfort a lot. It is not a frequent barking dog since its personality is very balanced so something very serious has to happen to react alarmingly. Burgundy's gangs is a dog who likes outdoor walks. If you decide to incorporate it as part of the family you must have a large space where you can walk, run and jump when you play with it, so the houses with garden or large interior spaces would be the ideal place to have it. He likes to be treated with love and demonstrates reciprocity and obedience when you have trained it in this way. Due to its great intelligence, Bordeaux's dog is an animal that learns quickly Any task you assign. It is not a dog that proves to be aggressive if you will mistreat it ... quite the opposite, it is very sensitive and can show sadness in these cases. He loves playing, who hugged him and mimic him. He likes many young children and has enormous patience, since he can endure all the mischief that the youngest of the house can make. It is faithful to his master and if he is in serious problems there you will see another face of the bordeer's dog defending his owners as an entire bodyguard. Burgundy Dogo Puppies The Bordeaux Dogo puppies are fascinating and irresistible puppies to have. They grow rapidly and that is why their tendons suffer a muscle tension process due to their rapid growth. It is known that a female can have up to 18 puppies in a single litter. Acquire one of race (with pedigree) can cost between $ 500 and $ Pure race. Like every puppy is very restless and playful. It is recommended that you begin your training from an early age since you will avoid bad habits and customs in your adult stage. With regard to its diet it is very important that you drink milk during the first 5 weeks. The solid food can be wet in water so that it is smooth and tasty. There are those who give it in addition to the pet food wetting bread, but moistening the food should be done only with the one that is going to be eaten at the other hand is contaminated and it can cause your puppy to suffer from stomach and intestinal problems at an early age. Food and Health of the Dog Burgundy Dog Feeding This breed of dogs is high cost. An adult state specimen requires an average of 700 to 900 gr daily for food for food. He food complex that supplies your pet It must comply with all the banners of excellent quality, rich in proteins and minerals that is what your body most needs for optimal development and growth. You must be careful not to overcome this specimen since it will be overweight for its tendons and muscles. That is why it is very important that you carry a rigorous veterinary control and consult every 6 months with the specialist doctor who is the person indicated to point out the daily food portions that your dog needs. Health Bad diet can cause the appearance of many diseases. One of the diseases that could generate poor diet (by insufficiency) is cardiomyopathy, that is, the absence of bullfighting or blood carnitine can cause damage to the heart muscle. As it is a short fur specimen, this is beneficial for hygiene since it is not a dog that requires brushing or loses hair constantly and only the bathroom is sometimes necessary when the smell tells us to require it. What you should know is that it is a tempered climate dog and having it living in regions with high temperatures can cause allergies due to wrinkles in your skin. A fresh climate would be adequate to avoid the appearance of these discomforts. Being a very sweet animal (and this is its weak point) it is advisable to give adequate oral hygiene that eliminates food remains between your teeth and prevents the appearance of tartar. Avoid giving sweets since it is proven that it can cause the appearance of caries and this would be very painful and uncomfortable for them, we would not be giving it adequate food. One of the aspects that you should not overlook is about vaccination. You must be attentive to all the vaccines you need to avoid the appearance of diseases and thus reinforce your immune system. Bordeaux Dog Care Even though Burgundy's Dogo is a strong and healthy dog It is important that you give special care to avoid the appearance of diseases. Above we told you that bad diet can cause weakness in the heart muscle, but also the appearance of parasites on the skin surface is very common in this race, so it is highly recommended to place its antiparasite pipette during certain time intervals. Other problems that can cause poor diet and lack of exercises is the appearance of bone problems during the growth that is triggered in a hip dysplasia. There have also been cases of digestive problems in these races, as well as cardiac, skin and tendons and ligaments. Education and training of the Bordeaux Dogo The education and training of this animal must start strictly since it is a puppy. At 6 weeks of birth you must start with 30 -minute daily training. What we tell you is very important that you fulfill it since if you do not do it after an adult it will be more difficult to acquire standards. Ideally, start with obedience training: call it and come to you, sit, stand, bend down and bring you something. It is very important that you do not use punishment, on the contrary, you must reward your achievements with positive phrases and samples of affection and affection (it is not more than to give it a cookie prize). You must train him so that he knows that he also has a place to do his needs, eat and where to sleep (otherwise your dog will be the owner of the couch and you will end up sleeping outside). Remember that due to its large size it requires daily physical training to burn all that energy so the walks neither so long nor so short would be adequate. Remember to impose the rhythm in the pass when you go out with him. During training you must be firm and show you that you are your owner and the one who imposes the rules. If on the contrary you observe that the animal is not responding as you want, calm ... do not despair. You can use confinement not as a punishment but as a sample that if you do not do things well it will be isolated that it is something that they do not like since this dog's breed is loved to be in company. If everything is done correctly, the result will be that we will have a faithful, calm, obedient and very happy pet. In conclusion, we can tell you that, if you already have a bordeer gangs as a pet, congratulations!  You have made a great choice. This canine breed is one of the best in the world Because of his many qualities: it can be the guardian you were looking for, he is the faithful companion of rainy afternoons at home by your side and the playful friend of the little ones in the house without having distrust.

Detition in dogs: When do dog teeth come out?

by Lobo Azul in February 02/21/22 Monnd
The Dimenition in dogs It is a process that is fulfilled in two stages, one of them is the appearance of the first milk teeth and after a while the change towards their definitive teeth. It is a process through which all puppies must pass, since they are born without teeth, something that usually causes problems to the mother during the breastfeeding process. Today we will know a little more about The Dog Dentition Period And some tips and suggestions help them complete it satisfactorily, since their oral health is an important issue for their general well -being. Puppies and dentition process Like any mammal and carnivore, dogs cross the dentition process for food, part of the livelihood of animal life. At the time of birth the puppies lack teeth, this is because they do not need them because their initial diet is breast milk. During the weaning process, The first teeth begin to appear to be used as a tool that allows them to crush food when they start a solid diet.  What is the dentition period in puppies? As with human babies, puppies have the need to bite everything, since they have sensitivity in gums and anxiety to release their new cutting tools. Dog dentition is a process that occurs in two stages General: First the output of the milk teeth occurs and, subsequently, these are replaced by the definitive ones on the path of the puppy to adulthood. From the 15 days of birth The teeth begin to come out in the dogs. The sequence can vary a bit due to the breed and some other conditions, but in general the process is fulfilled as follows: Around day 15 Fangs appear superiors and by day 20 the lower. In a period of 15 days the rest of the pieces that make up their teeth will have appeared. Once all their teeth have made their appearance, They will have a total of 28 to 32 dental pieces, depending on the race. This eruption begins to happen at the end of the first month of life. Milk teeth remain until they are progressively replaced by the final After the puppies turn 3 months of life. How to help you during the process? If you have already had a puppy, you have surely noticed that even if they don't have teeth, they already want to bite everything in their path. And like a child, Dog gums are sensitive during the process Of the appearance of the teeth, therefore, they will be much more desperate to calm the sensation and will bite it. So it is necessary to provide them with a toy to bite and take the opportunity to teach that it is not correct to bite people and objects other than their toys. If you want more information on the care of puppies from other races, you can check it here: train dog Bobtail and care of Bullmastiff.  At what age do dogs change? After they turn three and a half months of life, The replacement of milk teeth begins and the first final teeth emerge. This would be the second stage of the dentition in dogs and occurs from that moment, until the CAN reaches the age of a year, which is when the dental substitution is completed. The definitive teeth are completely white and have what is known as "Flor de Lis", that is, that characteristic form of Sierra in the lower of each incisive piece. The teeth level with the use and wear. This stage occurs many times without any kind of symptom, therefore it is possible that we do not even note that it is happening. Dog teeth function Each of the teeth has a specific form and that is because it fulfills a certain function. Hence The denture of a carnivorous animal It is far from those of those who are herbivores. Incisive: They are located in the front of the jaw and have the function of facilitating heartbreak and puncture. Canines: They serve to tear and puncture. They are located behind the incisors. Premolars: They collaborate in the cutting process. Molars: In dog dentition they appear in advance to adulthood and its function is that of moles and crush food. In total, an adult dog should have 42 dental pieces, while a puppy only has 28. In some cases you can miss a piece without significantly affecting the functionality of the bite. Importance of caring for canine denture The Dimenition in dogs is an important matter, as well as the general care of canine teeth. Once the dog performs the change of teeth definitively, he will have these teeth for the rest of life, therefore we must help you take care of them. For this, it is necessary to establish a very simple oral care routine and follow some tips: Prevents your dog from playing with stones, since his teeth unnecessarily wear out.

Offer one balanced diet based on feed specially designed for their size, race and age. Go to the veterinarian annually, and during the consultation you can tell you how solve any oral problem as inflamed gums or excess tartar in the teeth. Dog dentition is a key process in the life of dogs, because denture is the tool they have for the beginning of the digestive process and therefore it is a matter of vital importance to the general health of its organism and its quality of life.

Adopting a pet is a very important decision, and although each dog race has specific qualities, not all are recommended. It is necessary to know what dog race is the one indicated for us. Have you ever heard about Jack Russell Terrier? If in name does not sound to you, you will surely have seen it in a movie or on a television program, because this type of puppies belongs to that group of hollywood spoiled.

Knowing Jack Russell Terrier This is A race of small dogs Native of the United Kingdom. Recall that in this area, a long time ago, hunting was an entertainment activity and a sport, which would be today as football. When it came to hunting, people not only served as horses or sits as we always see in the movies, because they are small and fast, many dog ​​breeds were trained for this purpose.   Jack Russell Terrier takes his name from Reverendo John Russell, who raised in his time One of the best terrier races to hunt foxes in England. Jack Russell Terrier was raised from the beginning to help its owner in fox hunting, being especially trained to bark and chase the fox but never kill him. Since he was originally raised and trained for the purpose of helping in the fox hunting, Jack Russell Terrier still has a wild instinct that always allows him to be alert. It is not a puppy for all families, Jack Russel Terrier has a very active personality And also needs constant exercise, and by this same hunting instinct he has, he always wants to explore. So if you have a large garden or patio and you love puppies with a lot of energy, surely Jack Russel Terrier will become an excellent member for your family.

The color that highlights the most throughout the body is white, although they also have spots of different colors at the height of the skull, these spots are usually a light brown. However, they can become darker colors such as black. As to Its size and weight, Jack Russell Terrier can weigh between 5 kilos and 8 kilos. Its height can vary depending on the type of race, some may measure 35 centimeters and the little ones up to 30 centimeters. The life expectancy of Jack Russell Terrier goes from 13 to 15 years of life, this guarantees that it will become An indispensable member of the family, as long as the necessary care and attention are given. Jack Russell Terrier personality Are A small breed, but not for that reason we must expect a quiet dog. As already said, since Jack Russell Terrier was raised for hunting purposes, it is a dog that continues to be very active and needs a lot of exercise daily. Most likely, your pet asked you at least forty minutes of exercise per day, either with a long walk or with a good game session. Something we can highlight is that if your pet sees a cat or squirrel, even a hamster, his instincts will make him run behind him, and although he will not attack him, he will surely give them a good scare. Originally, this breed was trained to bark until it stuns the dam and corner it or make it flee as far as the hunter was found, he was instilled in searching for the dam, but never seriously hurt her, this task was left to the hunter.   That hunting ability is strongly embodied in them, it is something that comes out very naturally. Whether in the park or in the garden itself, Jack Russell Terrier is accustomed to digging, especially if he thinks that the house is suffering from a rodent infestation, or does not like a squirrel, or that neighbor's cat seems a bit intrusive. Jack Russell Terrier enjoys the human company, however, is not a good partner for young children or other animals in the family, they can even become aggressive against other dogs. The important thing to consider When a Jack Russell Terrier is raised in the family It is keeping it busy, enjoy having something to do, so planning activities for him is the best you can do to occupy his time and his high level of energy. Care of a Jack Russell Terrier puppy This fun and tireless race is not for everyone, and especially if there are already other pets, mainly cats and other dogs. Some of the puppies can learn to live with other pets when they are taken home at an early age, however, it cannot be guaranteed that they get along with each other. Before adopt one of these puppies We must take into account that Jack Russell Terrier breeding needs close attention and many games. If you are lucky to have a large and fenced patio, this race will be the most indicated for you. If you live in closed apartments, it is not impossible to adopt one, but you should keep in mind that these puppies will need much attention and games. The Jack Russell Terrier is definitely not one of those pets that will stay still and silently on a Sunday afternoon while watching a movie.  Jack Russell Terrier feed The amount of food recommended for a dog is different for each individual, as with us humans, the amount of food and calories we consume is directly related to certain processes of our body, such as age, weight, height, height, and even our metabolism influences. The same happens, not only with the Jack Russell Terrier, but with all the dog breeds that we can find in the world, they all need a different type of food, although some may coincide. The recommended for them is a portion of high quality food of at least 450 grams, twice a day, preferably in the morning and in the afternoon. Always keeping them very well hydrated, since being so physically active, they will surely need to hydrate more than other dogs (always maintaining a good balance). Of course, everything can depend on how good the food you give to your puppy, which is why it is always advisable to buy better quality food. Keep in mind that the higher quality, less amount you should use when feeding them. However, the details of their diet must be under the supervision of a specialist, who will be responsible for indicating the most recommended way to feed your pet.   The feeding of our little ones should always be an important pillar in their training as adults. In blue wolf we have feed for mini races. Jack Russell Terrier puppies The females of the race give us many signs when they are about to give birth, although they are not always very clear, we must pay attention to what they are silently indicating. The female will look for a comfortable place to bring the puppies to the world, probably stop eating and is noticed more worried, it is normal. It is important that Let's not leave our pet Alone at the moment, although they know what to do by instinct, we must be alert because the delivery could occur at any time, and the complications do not take to appear, more when it is a race of such small dogs. Despite its size, the female of Jack Russell Terrier can have 4 to 5 puppies at the same time, from the moment we learn that our pet is waiting for puppies we must give special care since complications can always appear and can be mortal for both the mother and the puppies. If you consider that your pet cannot conclude the delivery on your own, it is most advisable to immediately take it with your trusted veterinarian. Things to consider for its upbringing and adoption: It is easier to teach your dog to dig in a specific place, than to train him to break the habit of digging. It is natural in them. Raising a Jack Russell Terrier can be a challenge, since it requires much attention and exercises, and your habits are very difficult to break. If you are more to lead a quiet life, perhaps the best for you is to choose another dog breed. If you already have other pets at home, it is not advisable to adopt a Jack Russell Terrier, it is better to raise them from very young with other company pets, otherwise, they could react aggressively to them. Having a wide game place is essential. If you have a garden or patio, it is perfect, if you do not have one, the puppy will need large walks in the park or around the neighborhood. Due to their high level of energy, they will need more than one walk per day, or a great imagination from the owner to create games that make you spend your energy. They may not adapt well to a life in an apartment. It is necessary that the patio be very well surrounded. The Jack Russell Terrier despite its small size are capable of jumping more than a meter and a half high. We must be very careful when letting them play outside, since they can also use trees as an escape mode to the neighbor's courtyard (more if he pretends that on the other side he will find a dam to hunt). To take into account There are many things that we must take into account when Adopt a puppy. Sometimes we do not know the personality of each race well, but if this is not compatible with us, with our lifestyle, or with that of our family could become a problem. If you plan to enlarge your family by bringing a Jack Russell Terrier home you must take into account all of the above. Some dogs are very calm and their presence is barely felt, others are very large and noisy, other small and energetic. As is the case of our spoiled today. The Jack Russell Terrier still Hunting instincts have very marked, which were reinforced for centuries, from their origins. Actions such as hunting holes in the patio, chasing squirrels or cats, or even when they are aggressive with other dogs, are attitudes that they cannot avoid and that you should keep in mind if you want to adopt one of these puppies. If you consider that you lead an active life and that you can take the rhythm of a Jack Russell Terrier you can throw yourself and adopt one of these wonderful creatures. Like all dogs, they are also an excellent life partner, a partner with whom you will never get bored and with whom you will always find something new to do. Everything good comes in small bottles, or so they say. In this sense, Jack Russell Terrier is no exception.

It's not about giving it a lot of food, rather, what we want to tell you is that it needs a food that contains the right nutrients and with the highest nutritional quality banners.

Do not forget to play much with him since through the game you can train the puppy in basic behavior standards. Give him a lot of love and affection from the first day he is with you. Spanish Alano Dog Care Spanish Alano is a race that does not need special care. It is a dog that enjoys good health and is not prone to get sick, but you must be attentive to some basic care standards. The first thing you should pay attention is to food as we described before. Remember to give the appropriate portions of food depending on its growth stage and that it is of optimal quality. A balanced diet is what your dog needs. The second is that a dog of these proportions can live quietly inside your home, although if you live in a house with external areas much better so that you can run and jump freely otherwise you must rigorously take it for a walk about 3 times a day.   As for cleaning, you must bathe it once a month to keep your hair healthy and fleas free and ticks. Check the fur daily depending on whether outdoor walk activities are carried out in parks or farms where other dogs and animals make life. If you have fleas, take it to the veterinarian to recommend a necklace or pipette and if by chance counteracts ticks the ideal is to take them out with a sterilized clamp. If you do not dare or do not know how to do it, go to the veterinarian who is the most appropriate person to carry out this task. It is important that within their care you clean their ears, eyes and teeth and when bathing it also remembers cleaning the folds of the skin since it can contract some dermatitis of not doing so. This canine breed supports extreme climatic conditions, but in summer season you must provide enough hydration. The Spanish Alano has a quality that the water loves so to take it for a walk to the beach and let it run on the shore, it is an activity that fascinates it. Finally, brush it about 2 times a week to remove dead hair and so that it remains healthy and bright. Spanish Alano character and personality The Spanish Alano is a very brave dog. It is little sensitive to pain and is due to its nature as hunting and grip dog. Being a prey dog ​​will always be attentive to the slightest movement that feels or observes. It is very active, awake and restless about what its training is recommended from an early age. His courage is the characteristic that stands out the most. They do not present any danger to the family and especially for the children to whom it takes care and above all is very tolerant of the games that the little ones can do. What should be monitored is that by his instinct of grip dog he always seeks to hold the children by his ears without bite them. Sometimes children exaggerate in the game with pets and this the animal may not understand it so adults must monitor games with excess jokes that can distort the nature of the game and leave hurt. That is super protective.   Its character is always serious dog and tends to be dominant So a dog of these characteristics needs a firm master that makes him understand with few words and clear instructions who is the one who sends here. If so, it will be a loyal, obedient and very affectionate dog with theirs. Before the strangers he does not present any danger, but he will see them with a little distrust until they know them well. If by bad chance of fate an intruder enters your house, it is better to leave as quickly as possible since the Spanish Alano will feel its presence and begin first to bark to get the attention of the master and if the person dares to face him as a good grip dog he will lie down and he will not release him until he receives a change of order from the master. In the deal with other dog breeds let us tell you that the Spanish Alano is a dominant dog and should be taught to maintain balance because otherwise if they are looking for a fight they will find it and almost always won. So, it is important to take it for a walk to places where you have contact with other races to improve your socialization process. If so, you will have a dog model that everyone will want to follow. Education and training of the Spanish Alano Although many consider the Spanish Alano as an aggressive dog because of the use to which it was destined in the past, the truth that training it is not complicated as long as we go to a qualified coach and with experience in this type of breeds or be of firm personality in case you want to train it yourself, but it is always good that you report first how to do it. Being a very intelligent dog will learn everything we teach you fully, but for this we must be firm and safe in the guidelines in front of the animal. Do not think of mistreating or applying confinement because you will not achieve any achievement or progress on the contrary, it can become a real threat and will do everything to its whim. If by chance you get on the couch and you are not allowed, you must firmly say "no" and give it the order that is lowered. Prémonalo when it obeys the rules with a palmadita, caress or some sweet tooth. There are people who have unscrupulously trained to these races for the attack by distorting their nature and turning them into a true mortal weapon. Nor do you show weaknesses before your Spanish Alano because if not, he will be the one who takes the reins and you will end up being the trained.   Also these dogs our body language understands very well So a sign with your hand so you don't do something or to get out of the house will understand perfectly. You can expand the orders not only to call it and come to you or feel, but you can train it to remain next to you or sit the time you indicate, but you should always do it with firm words ... without shouting or blows. All members of the family group must follow the same line, but there must be one that is the one that imposes the norms or dominates the animal more; That it is the one who sends and controls it with total responsibility and that your Spanish alano know that this is the head of the litter. If you want me to respect you first to respect him. Spanish Alano breeders There are many breeders who are recommended and recognized by the Spanish Association of the Spanish Alano and that it is the ideal place to acquire a copy of this race without being scammed. These qualified breeders will inform you everything you need to know about the temperament of this race, as well as its functionality. They will guide you in the election process and you can be sure that you have your certification or Pedigree that supports you that it is an authentic specimen. Also the breeders will show you the consanguinity of the puppies something that is of interest to know when acquiring a copy. Certified breeders study people very well who want to acquire one of their specimens. They make you an exhaustive interrogation asking you first your knowledge about the race and the use you are going to give (if it is for surveillance, competition or company).   The specimens are delivered with Pedigree, not less than 8 weeks of birth, microchip, veterinary review, dewormed, with at least two vaccines sealed by the referee, photocopy of the registration of the litter in the Origen Book and Health Guarantee. It is also important to know the breeding place and thus will give you an idea of ​​the type of person that is; Anyway, you will be cautious and safe, you will find the right breeder. Spanish Alano Price The Spanish Alano is not any dog ​​race. Its history linked to the recovery that was done to avoid its extinction makes it a fair price. Nor is it easy to raise these specimens and anyone does it either. In the current market a puppy with all its certificates and permissology It is sold between 300 and 800 euros. As you will see the price is very varied. We recommend that you buy them directly to certified breeders. Online there are many individuals who offer you deceptive offers. Some offer very low prices and that is not reliable since it may not be pure. We invite you if you really want to acquire a copy to ask an acquaintance who has one how he acquired it and may be helpful to have that pet that you dream so much.   If you already have a Spanish Alano I imagine that you will not be regretful of having acquired it. You will have a faithful and inseparable partner that will make you feel safe and protected and in turn you will share fun moments that you will enjoy forever.

We all want that when we open the door to a new member in the family it can always be happy and healthy, and if it is possible that it lasts forever. Normally, we want to give them a good life, very long and healthy, to that pet with which we plan to give and receive love.

This, of course, without neglecting the love and love they need. As you can see, all this seems to be simple, but it is certainly a commitment. One of the main and first problems that are presented to us is that many times, due to lack of knowledge, we fail to meet these aspects.  As for vaccines, this aspect should not be careless, as it will generate major problems that can even make the animal suffer. Sometimes our carelessness may be due to lack of time, since our daily occupations distract us from following a plan or Vaccine calendar, being able to cause it to skip it. The commitment to our pets deserves greater interest and time to dedicate. In addition to this, many times we don't really know what are the functions that vaccines have in the dog's health and how serious it can be to not put them in the right time or postpone them. This time we will talk about it, about vaccines, of that first step that we must take for our pet, and how important it is for our dog to be healthy and happy for a long time. The time to meet our dog Either because we are going to acquire it with a professional breeder, we will buy it in a store or in fact we will adopt it in a shelter, it is very useful and necessary that they grant us the dog vaccination sheet. This will greatly facilitate continuing with the vaccination process for the good health of our pet. It does not matter if the dog is still a puppy or is already more grown, there will always be various dog vaccines that will need to have, even some may be of such importance that the adoption or purchase process can stop until it has not been applied in the dog. And even if you do not believe it, depending on the dog and the race that it possesses, it can even be the difference between life or death in a puppy. So, It is always important to demand the dog vaccination file Whatever the way in which it reaches our lives.  Puppies and vaccines There has been much talk about the importance of dog vaccines and how they can affect the health of the dog. It is the puppies that it is the one to deal with this process, since their first weeks, they must usually begin to receive them. It is the mothers of the puppy who provide the first immunological defenses, they through breastfeeding, give their children antibodies that begin to work even at the first 24 hours of birth. Unfortunately, these defenses only last a short time and as the puppy gets used to the outside environment, they disappear from their system little by little. Apart from the first immunological defenses, the mother also provides some parasites to the puppy through breastfeeding and placenta, it is because of that that It is recommended that before starting the vaccination process, the puppy will be dew. After 6 weeks born, the puppies begin to receive vaccines that will help them face the world. This proximity to his birth is because a puppy should not be in contact with other dogs external to his litter before the first vaccination, since this can make it extremely sensitive to any bacteria or infection that a third could carry. You also have to take into account when your teeth get a pear puppy to be able to give you the best possible care. Types of dog vaccines There are different Types of dog vaccines which are varying depending on the age of the puppy and the function that they have in their health and well -being. Each of them represents a lack in the Immune system of CAN and some must be granted at different times of the dog's life. Some must be applied monthly or annually and others, on the contrary, are a matter of once in life. All this will depend on its chemical function and composition.  Mandatory dog ​​vaccines The mandatory vaccines, as its name indicates, they are those that are vital in the life of the dog. These are supplied while the dog is puppy, and usually start from the 6 weeks of born. Dog vaccines that make up this group are the following: Parvovirus: Parvovirus, is a vaccine that helps prevent canine parvovirosis, a disease that affects intestines, causing diarrhea with blood presence in them. This vaccine is usually one of the first and main applied to puppies. Distemper: As for the muffin, it is a disease that can even affect cats, it is highly dangerous since it affects the digestive, respiratory and nervous system of the puppy. It is a contagious disease, and can only be prevented with their respective vaccines, so, like parvovirus, the puppy is also usually given in its first weeks. Rage: Previously the rabies virus was deeply rooted worldwide, although this has changed, there are still several regions where it is still active, so it is important to prevent. The rabies virus is spread through saliva, which can enter the dog's blood system through a bite, and can affect its nervous system. This is not recommended to apply it while the dog is puppy, since the absorption of its components is not guaranteed correctly. Optional dog vaccines Just as there are mandatory vaccines, there are also those that are rather an option, given that one could say, they go according to the veterinarian's recommendations according to what he considers that it is necessary for the dog according to the race and the place where it develops. The Optional vaccines, they are commonly administered annually, and there is the possibility that these are implemented through the mode of cocktails or versatile, which consist of various vaccines for mixed dogs in one, which serve to prevent the appearance of various diseases such as: Leptoespirosis, canine hepatitis, parainfluenza, Lyme, cough of the kennels either Coronavirus.  Multipurpose vaccines There are various types of versatile vaccines, these are classified according to their main functions or components. Among the most recognized are the following: Pentavalent: It contains among its components the Moquillo, hepatitis vaccine, cough of the kennels, parvovirus and parainfluenza. Hexavalent: It contains all the above, plus the vaccine for leptosipirosis and another strain or population of parvovirus. Octovalent: It has the previous vaccines in its more components, other strains of leptosipirosis, parvovirus and parainfluenza, and also the vaccine for the coronavirus. This kind of vaccines should be administered to the dog when it is bigger and stronger, around its first year. Other types of dog vaccines There are currently some dog vaccines, which, although not strictly necessary or compromise their health, also greatly facilitate the dog's health and lifestyle. These can be the following: Bardotella: They are used to prevent a disease of the same name, which attacks the respiratory system. It has several side effects and therefore has caused a lot of debate among veterinarians communities. Against ticks and fleas: This type of dog vaccines is in fact, very controversial, many veterinarians insist that it is not really a vaccine, but a medicine. Even so, it can be of great importance, and must be placed annually depending on its quality. Average vaccination plan As we know, within a few weeks of birth it is when we must begin to administer the first mandatory vaccines, in order to make sure that the puppy can create the respective antibodies.  The administration of these vaccines usually has an average calendar, which can vary depending on some consideration taken by the veterinarian. Dog vaccines are to promote and guarantee the health of those who apply, whether animal or human. Even so, these are still chemical compounds that enter the blood flow, so that on some opportunities there can be the occasional consequence, which is mostly derived from the organism's reaction. Side effects of dog vaccines In the case of emerging some adverse effect after applying a vaccine on a dog, these are usually mild, although they depend on the age of the dog. The more puppy this is, the greater the percentage of these to appear. In any case, these side effects, especially in mandatory vaccines, are not usually very serious; This is because before applying some vaccine in the dog, they have been previously tested and tested. So mostly, these are really good for can. Similarly, here are some of the most frequent side effects: Apathy: It is normal for the dog to move away a little from his master in a reproach reaction for having made him go through great stress. Numbness: The dog may present some type of fatigue and even need to sleep a little. Gastrointestinal disorders: Some vaccines can produce stomach pain, diarrhea and even vomiting in dogs, which can influence their appetite. Respiratory problems: On some occasions, the placement of some vaccine can cause coughing, sneezing or nasal secretion. In fact, it can be relatively common to be presented with a flu painting. Inflammation: The vaccine may be applied after some type of lump is formed around where the vaccine was applied, this is because the liquid has not yet spread. This can be a fairly common effect. Prevents it from scratching to also prevent other disorders that may arise as the appearance of dandruff by stress or dermatitis. Afalaxía: This is perhaps one of the most serious effects that can arise by vaccinating a dog and consists of a cluster of afflictions that vary between throat or snout swelling that prevents it from being able to breathe normally, weak pulse, skin redness, diarrhea or vomiting. In this case, we must be very careful and take the veterinarian as soon as possible. Prices of dog vaccines As for costs, what a dog owner spends on vaccines for dogs is depending on the doses supplied, which in turn go according to the weight and volume of the dog. As the dog is larger, the dose is greater. That is why it is necessary that before performing the administration of vaccines in the dog, it is consulted by the veterinarian, in this way inconveniences are avoided. You can consult your veterinarian if vaccines affect other races, such as the Andalusian mouse or the Spanish Alano. If we enter Vaccine prices, it is necessary to indicate that each price varies according to the country or region, in addition to the quality or brand of the vaccine and, of course, of the type of vaccine. In the case of Spain, prices range from: Heptavalent vaccine: Around 40 and 50 euros. Trivalent vaccine: They have an estimate between 30 and 40 euros.

For several centuries, from the seventeenth, these breeds were mixed with each other until obtaining what this breed is today. Canines who gave rise to San Bernardo were used as surveillance dogs, bodyguards and rescue in the eleventh century by a group of monks who carried a hospice In El Paso del Monte San Bernardo, which was intended to provide lodge and protection for pilgrims, travelers and visitors.  With the passage of time, and thanks to its strength, courage and tenacity, The San Bernardo became very useful. His presence was required as companions of those who crossed the mountain, since they could provide great help in case an accident. Currently, San Bernardo has been officially designated as the Swiss national dog, thanks to all the work he has played as a rescue dog.

San Bernardo's life expectancy The San Bernardo is a beautiful and great dog that will give us his love and affection for an estimated time of between 8 and 10 years, which will vary depending on food, exercise and if any disease is presented that can affect their health. San Bernardo care There are certain diseases that can occur in a San Bernardo throughout their lives, and although this does not mean that with certainty they will suffer them, there is a tendency to make it happen.

His incredible temperament is known worldwide and how he can take care of children so much devotion. It is undoubtedly a family dog ​​if interacting with other people, dogs or animals is introduced on time.
