Theirs so many dogs being produced with poor health issues year after year to the degree of ruining the reputations of many dog breeds. Some can say it's poor genetic etc etc but it all comes down to improper breeding & whelping litters incorrectly. In this blog we would like to share some basic knowledge of ours to others in hope to see more healthy litters occur from it. As many may think breeding and raising litters is easy, you just throw two dogs in the backyard, put the pups with the mom in a box or room, access to water and throw a bunch of food in a large bowl and find homes for them but in all reality theirs a lot more to it and is actually NOT as easy as you'd think especially when done properly which determines their future health.
A lot goes into breeding a properly bred dog, sadly consumers search for a dog, they come across a breeder, they assume they are going to get a good quality dog because it came from a breeder and they are paying thousands of dollars for it putting all their trust into that person with the intent they're going to get a healthy top of the line puppy, in all reality they could get a pup from a friend, family member, shelter, craigslist etc etc of the same poor quality for free all due to lack of research. This is why it's important to find a reputable breeder. People bringing unhealthy puppies into this world, is not only sad for the pups but also for the consumer who ends up getting a broken heart & a drained bank account from all the vet bills.
Producing a well bred dog especially in this breed takes lots of knowledge, experience, dedication, patience, time & is a huge investment "$$$". Many breeders "in all breed types" will hype a pedigree to their clientele as the best this the best that but what does that tell you? Absolutely nothing! The first thing to producing a well bred dog starts with knowledge & experience, these two things go hand in hand and are most import to bringing healthy dogs into this world. You can have the best lines, you could have spend the most money on your breeding stock and still have health issues occur. How? First and most simply one needs to know how to properly put together a breeding, secondly the first twelve months of a dogs life is the most critical time span for them to have a chance to live a long healthy life; The breeder must properly raise them during the first eight weeks of their lives, the following ten months is up to purchaser to continue raising them properly so they can live that long healthy life.
Can health issues occur from two properly well bred dogs of the same bloodline? Yes, how & why? As said above it all comes down to properly raising the puppies, having a well bred line your already miles ahead of others, all one has to do is raise the litter properly this starts with the most important thing nutrition; puppies must consume colostrum from the mothers teats within the first 24hrs this helps build their immune system to the mothers, then they must consume the proper calories, fats & proteins within their diet as they're weaned off the mother, be raised in a clean environment with lots of space for exercise and be given lots of attention for many reasons like stress levels and comforting for proper brain function. Raw diets are NOT recommended until at least 12 months of age, giving multiple supplements you find being promoted on line for this and that is also NOT recommended, Why? Giving these things too young to puppies causes improper internal development leading to life long disorders of the organs, liver, kidneys, heart, joints, vision, hair follicles, and brain function. As these aren't things we can see or test for at such young ages you have to put your trust with the person whelping you pup this is the reason why it's important to find a reputable breeder to get your dog from whom has lots of experience whelping litters of puppies properly.
With all our years of experience "less is more" when raising puppies during their first year of maturity, no flirt pole, no spring pole, no jumping off furniture, no running on slippery floors, just keep it simple with casual walks and playing. For nutrition keep it all natural, feed a good kibble and add some great toppers for proper development and health, below are some toppers we use on our dogs that work best for proper nutritional health:
* Wild or Organic Blueberries (antioxidants, fiber)
* Organic Egg Shells / whole egg (calcium and protein)
* Organic Raw Broccoli (vitamin k "liver, bone health, immune system")
* Organic shredded Ginger (Heart, anti-inflammatory, digestive system)
* Lavish Paws Wild Salmon Oil (omega-3, 6,9)
* Lavish Paws Multi Vitamins (Phosphorus, Vitamin A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9, B12, C, D3, E)
