Will there be a lot of vaccinations and demworming if there like 4 months and younger???
Easier Vet Trips. Puppies need a series of puppy shots and fecals, then a rabies shot, then surgery to spay/neuter them, and generally a trip or two to the emergency vet after eating something dangerous. (All of this usually adds up to substantially more than you paid for the dog!) When adopting an adult dog, the adoption fee should get you a dog with current vaccinations, this is altered, heartworm negative and on a preventative, at the minimum
How many times should we comb his/her hair? At least a couple fot times a week, a thorough brusing, brush daily. You NEED more then 1 BRUSH by the way.
How many times do we check him up at the vet?
a REPTUABLE breeder will general give shots at 6week, think there a shot at 6month as well, as another shot as well
Adults only need a yearly trip to the vets, and puppies require it abit more frequently a reptuable breeder or animal shelter will tell you how frequent
How many times do we feed the dog? 8week-6month=3 feeds, daily-Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner, 6month-12months=2feeds daily, breakfast and dinner
How many times do we exercise a dog? Start slowly and get him used to the lead and collar 1st, he can be walked safely with a little caution after his 1st vacination. Myth #1:
âPuppies should not go to puppy classes/the mall/friendsâ houses until they have had all their vaccinations at 16 weeks/6 months of age.â (Fails all three tests)
This one lands squarely at the top of the âdangerous mythâ category. Itâs generally perceived as credible by new puppy owners because itâs often offered by the pupâs veterinarian. While it appears scientifically sound on its face (unvaccinated puppy at risk for contracting deadly diseases!), puppies who arenât properly socialized are at a
much greater risk for developing behavior problems, including aggression, that are likely to shorten their lives. The vet is right on one hand â the best way to ensure
that your pup isnât exposed to dog germs is to avoid other dogs. However, while itâs certainly true that you want to prevent your pupâs exposure to unknown and/or possibly
unhealthy dogs (and their waste), it is critically important that your pup get lots of exposure to the rest of the world, including healthy puppies in a controlled environment, before the critical socialization period ends at 12-16 weeks â or risk
serious, sometimes deadly, behavior problems.
In addition, during the period leading up to 4-6 months, your pup has protection from his motherâs immunities, and is receiving âpuppy shotsâ to cover that period of time when his motherâs protection starts to decrease. Not only is it âokayâ to take your pup places while exercising reasonable caution, you have an obligation to provide him with extensive socialization in order to maximize his chances of leading a
long and happy life.

Labrador Retriever
Coat
The Labrador Retriever is a double coat breed. The outer coat is straight, short, very dense, and hard in texture. The under coat is soft, weather-resistant, and protects this breed from cold, all types of ground cover, and water. The color of the coat comes in chocolate, black, and yellow. This breed is an average shedder.
Overview
Originating in Newfoundland during the 1700s, the Labrador Retriever was imported to England in the early 1800s. This breed is among the oldest of the modern recognized breeds. Their versatility and endless positive attributes have made the Labrador Retriever a popular family pet.
Character
The Labrador Retriever is medium in size, strong, athletic, and well balanced. They are friendly, outgoing, and possess an extremely sweet personality. There are two types of Labrador: The American, which is tall and lanky, and the English, which is more thick and heavy. This sporting breed is adept at hunting and retrieving. Labrador Retrievers are revered as companions and highly respected for their loving nature.
Temperament
This breed is highly intelligent, loyal, and deeply devoted. The Labrador Retriever is reliable, affectionate, and thrive on human companionship and attention. They are absolutely wonderful with children and get along exceedingly well with other dogs. They may be reserved with strangers and make good watchdogs. If this breed is left alone for extended periods of time without attention or stimulation they will become lonely, bored, and destructive.
Care
The Labrador Retriever requires regular grooming with a firm bristle brush. Special care should be given to the under coat to prevent mats and tangles. Bathing or dry shampooing should only be done when absolutely necessary. Labrador Retrievers are prone to elbow and hip dysplasia, eye disorders, and PRA.
Training
This breed is easily trained. Early socialization and basic obedience are recommended. The Labrador Retriever is very strong and must be taught not to pull on their leash. They do not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. The Labrador Retriever needs fairness, firmness, consistency, reward, and respect. They excel in tracking, police work, search and rescue, agility, competitive obedience, guide for the blind, and as service dogs for the disabled.
Labrador Retrievers need frequent exercise to stay happy and healthy. An urban or country environment with a fenced yard is ideal for this high energy dog breed. Labrador Retrievers love water and enjoy both swimming and retrieving. If you have decided that a Labrador Retriever puppy may be the right choice for your family, there are a few other things that you have to consider. You need to be aware that your Lab puppy will grow and will require proper exercise on a daily basis. Do you have the space in your house to accommodate such an animal, or a fenced in yard so that your dog can go out safely? Will you have enough time to spend on grooming your pet, and also on the training that may be required? Are you willing to spend the resources the keep your pet healthy?

Im Saving Up For A Puppy... Help Me Please!?
Abbie!
My Mum And Dad have finally let me get a puppy! â¥Yes! I Was Thinking Maybe A Chihuahua, A Miniture Pinscher, Or A Jack Russell. I Have to buy every thing for it, including the puppy- But my mum and Dad would pay for Vet bills.The Questions I NEED to Ask are...
1) Which type of dog do you think would be best for me to get? (Bare in mind im a teenager!)
2) How much do Each of them Cost?
3) What Supplies would be vital for a... Chihuahua
What Supplies would be vital for a... Miniture Pinscher
What Supplies would be vital for a... Jack Russell
For each of these dogs, How much would every thing cost all together. (excluding vet bills) but including... Food, Toys, Cage/Bed, And the dog itself... ect ect...
Please help me!
Also... i get paid £30 a month- how long do you think it would take me to save up for each of these dogs! I know it will take me quite a long time!
Answer
Adopt from a shelter, pound & rescue, you'll save lots of money on the ential fee if you adopt, especially if yo ugo for the slightly grow up dogs-They are good dogs too, so don't knock them. Adoption fees are normally less then $300. However it does vary.
Think again that you'll only need 30dollars a month for the dog care.
My dog food cost me 73.95 this month-Smaller bag & different food then what i normally get, however i got a discount voucher which made it to $63.95. that just in one week!

2. Puppies are not housebroken! Most people work during the day and are gone for 8 hours or more at a time. Puppies need to go out on a regular schedule so they have frequent opportunities to eliminate where you want them to. Puppies can't wait for the boss to finish his meeting or the kids to come home from school. Adult dogs can "hold it" for longer periods and, often, a Rescue will have the dog housebroken before it is adopted.
3. Intact Underwear. Puppies chew! You can count on at least 10 mismatched pairs of socks and a variety of unmentionables rendered to the "rag bag" before a puppy cuts all its teeth. Shoes? yes, puppies like to chew them also. Expect holes in your carpet (along with urine stains), backs and pages missing from books, stuffing exposed in couches, and at least one dead remote control. No matter how well you watch them, it will happen. This is a puppy's job! An adult dog can usually have the run of the house without destroying it.
4. A Good Night's Sleep. A puppy can be very demanding at 2am and 4am and 6am. Puppies naturally miss their littermates and a stuffed animal is not a substitute for puppy pile with littermates in the dark of night. Prefer peace and quiet, an adult rescue dog usually sleeps through the night?
5. Finish the Newspaper. With a puppy loose in the house, you will NOT be able to relax when you get home from work. Do you think kids ever really feed the dog? Clean up the messes? Walk in the pouring rain every hour to get the dog housetrained? If so, you probably have a severe case of denial. An adult dog will generally sit calmly beside you as your workday stress flows away and your blood pressure lowers as you pet it.
6. Easier Vet Trips. Puppies need a series of puppy shots and fecals, then a rabies shot, then surgery to spay/neuter them, and generally a trip or two to the emergency vet after eating something dangerous. (All of this usually adds up to substantially more than you paid for the dog!) When adopting an adult dog, the adoption fee should get you a dog with current vaccinations, this is altered, heartworm negative and on a preventative, at the minimum.
7. What You See Is What You Get. How big will the dog get? What will its temperament be? Is it easily trained? What will its personality be like as an adult? Will it be hyperactive? Adult dogs are, to steal a term from Internet lingo, WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get.) All of your questions are easily answered, because the dog is already an adult. You can pick large or small; active or couch potato; goofy or brilliant; sassy or sweet. Further, the rescuer and/or foster homes can help guide you in choosing just the right match for you. (Rescues are FULL of puppies who became the wrong match as they got older!)
8. Unscarred Children (and Adults). If a puppy does not teeth on your possesions, it will teeth on you and your children. Rescuers often get calls from panicked parents sure their dog is about to seriously injure their children. It usually turns out the puppy is just doing what puppies do, i.e., mouth or nip. Parents, too emotional to see the difference, just want to get rid of the dog. A growing puppy is going to put anything and everything in their mouth. It must be taught bite inhibition. As the puppy grows, the puppy's jaws become stronger and its teeth are replaced by its adult teeth. The mouthing and nipping it did as a puppy now can have serious consequences. Far better to get an adult dog that has "been there, done that, moved on."
9. Matchmaker Make Me A Match. Puppy love is emotionally appealing. They are so cute! But, in reality, cute is not a sufficient reason to get a pet, a pet that will probably live 15+ years. It may be cute, but cute can grow up to be hyperactive. It may be not want to share your home with anyone else, including your spouse, children, or other animals. It may want to be a couch potato, when the main reason you got the dog was to run with you every day. Pet/owner mis-matches are the MAIN REASONS owners "give-up" their pets. 60% of the animals in shelters nationwide are there for this reason. Good rescuers extensively evaluate of dogs and applicants to insure both will be happy with one another until death do them part.
10. Instant Companion. With an adult dog, you have a dog that can go everywhere and do anything with you NOW. You don't have to wait until the puppy grows up and hope it will like to do what you to do with it. With an adult rescue, you select the dog mos
