  Reproductive Season, Heat, Oestrus, And Pregnancy Tests Puberty or sexual maturity in the female dog usually occurs around six months of age. The smaller breeds tend to go into oestrus or "heat" earlier and some females can have their first "heat" cycle as early as four months of age. On the other hand, the large and giant breeds can be up to two years old before they come into heat for the first time. How Often Do Female Dogs Come Into Heat? On average this occurs about twice a year or every six months, although it varies from dog to dog. When cycling first begins, there may be a great deal of variability in the time between cycles. This is normal. Some females take eighteen months to two years to develop a regular cycle. There is no evidence that irregular  heat cycles  predispose the dog to false pregnancies or pyometra (uterine infection). Small breeds tend to cycle more regularly than the larger breeds. Three and occasionally four heat cycles per year can be

  Pet Digestive Issues & Care How To Stop Diarrhea In DogsDiarrhea has many causes and even many   versions . What’s behind your dog’s diarrhea will mean a lot when it comes to the severity and duration, so if you can find a cause, do it! Otherwise, take these comforting steps to get your best friend on the mend. 1. Provide Water at all Times One of the real dangers of diarrhea is dehydration. Without diarrhea, your dog can easily regulate what fluids go in with what comes out, but with diarrhea what comes out can quickly get ahead of what’s going in. Encourage your dog to drink as much as possible by providing fresh, clean water at all times. If they need a little more of an incentive to drink, you can add a bit of  low sodium chicken broth  to their water bowl. 2. Withhold Food When a dog has diarrhea, it means that something in their digestive system is out of whack. Rather than feeding their problem with regular meals, instead, give their gut a break by withholding food for 12-

  1. Label dogs as stubborn, hyperactive, out of control or stupid and then punish them for it Teach your dog appropriate behaviors instead of punishing him. Photography ©anitapeeples.com | Getty Images. This is one of the worst things a dog guardian can do. Dogs who are labeled bad dogs or have so-called bad behaviors are usually dogs who haven’t had the time put in with training and exercise. If a dog exhibits unwanted behaviors (not bad behaviors), it’s because they haven’t been taught what it is that you do want. When dogs express unwanted behaviors like  jumping on people  or furniture, mouthing you,  barking ,  pulling on the leash , etc., they are expressing some kind of anxiety or frustration. What can you do?  Take the time to teach the wanted behaviors along with  exercise , which will go a long way to setting a solid foundation of trust and mutual respect. 2.  Tether a dog People tie their dogs up to a post in a public area when going to the store, coffee shop or even a park

                   Sprechen sie Deutsche? Does your Rottweiler speak German? German Rottweiler, American Rottweiler, Roman Rottweiler -- can all these labels refer to the same black-and-tan dog? The answer really depends on who you ask. While your Rottweiler cannot talk, you may notice a German accent when he barks, or he may pick up an American accent when living abroad. American Rottweilers If your Rottweiler has started speaking some slang and adores vanilla ice-cream and apple pie, most likely you have an American Rottweiler. All jokes aside, you may have heard that American Rottweilers are tall, leggy and lack the distinct blocky head expected in the Rottweiler breed. The truth is that an American Rottweiler is simply a Rottweiler born in the Unites States, according to R-CK Kennels, a non-breeding kennel in East Texas. Unfortunately, though, indiscriminate breeding in the Unites States has caused the spread of many Rottweilers who do not conform to the breed standard. German Rott

  What is Miscarriage? A dog may abort or reabsorb a litter at any time during her pregnancy due to a number of reasons. Without adequate levels of progesterone or proper nutrition, she cannot maintain her pregnancy. Infection or other diseases may likewise prompt a miscarriage. If your dog is secreting vaginal discharge, or if she abruptly becomes lethargic and depressed, she may have miscarried or aborted her pregnancy, though you will need to bring her to the veterinarian for a proper diagnosis. A miscarriage is the spontaneous resorption or abortion of a dog’s litter. This is sudden and irreversible, and it typically results in a poor prognosis for any remaining fetuses, though most bitches make a full recovery. A veterinarian may be able to help your dog carry the rest of the litter to term if the necessary action is taken soon enough.
