Have you known about border collie? Border collie was originally a dog used for herding sheep in Scotland, so they have a lot of energy. Later, they gradually evolved into a family mate dog breed. border collie has a distinctive temperament. Their IQ is the highest among dogs. Next, I will introduce the advantages and disadvantages of border collie.

Border Collies have almost no aggression, they are very enthusiastic about people, can get along well with children and the elderly, and will not show an aggressive attitude even towards strangers. Even during lactation, Border Collies can be very friendly to people who come to see their cubs.

Border collie's IQ can rank in the top three among dogs. They are truly smart dogs. They can reach the IQ of human children aged seven or eight years. Moreover, border collie already has a certain ability of logical thinking. They have the ability to think independently about things and understand the situation. When you have a a Border Collie in your home, you will understand how smart this kind of dog is after a long time. Because many people who feed border collie will have the illusion of who is feeding whom.

Border collie has bright and smooth hair and slender body shape. Among many outstanding dogs, border collie's appearance is also excellent.

After introducing the advantages of border collie, what are its disadvantages?

First of all, the high IQ of border collie is its advantage. It takes less time to train border collie to complete some simple interactions than other dogs, which is also its disadvantage. Sometimes border collie will think that the IQ of the owner is not necessarily like it. Raising border collie needs to fight with it frequently. border collie, like a child of seven or eight years old, already knows a lot of things. So in some cases, the border collie will oppose the master's instructions.

Secondly, the hair of border collie needs regular care and grooming; Border collie has long dog hair, so like other long haired dogs, border collie will shed hair, so it is necessary to clean up the hair in a timely manner during the period of dog hair loss. For some owners who are addicted to cleanliness or have respiratory diseases or allergic diseases, it is not appropriate to feed border collie or other dogs.

Finally, since border collie is responsible for herding, its energy can be described as very strong, and its demand for sports is also very large. So whenever the owner takes it out for exercise, the owner may be tired and it won't feel tired. Therefore, it is better for the owner to have plenty of time to exercise outdoors with border collie for a long time.

Many people cannot distinguish the difference between Akita Inu and Shiba Inu, but in fact, the main difference between Akita Inu and Shiba Inu lies in their personalities and body types. Akita Inu has a larger body size and a calm personality, while Shiba Inu has a smaller body size and a lively and proactive personality. This article will give you a general introduction to the characteristics of Shiba Inu, allowing you to have a certain understanding of them before choosing to raise them.

I believe many people became aware of the Shiba Inu breed through Kabosu's emojis and chose to raise Shiba Inu. So, what are the advantages and disadvantages of raising Shiba Inu?

If you live in an apartment in the city and the sound insulation is not perfect, then Shiba Inu is a great choice as it won't disturb the residents at all! Many people haven't heard a Shiba Inu bark for a year, and they say Shiba Inu is probably a mute dog. In fact, they don't know how to bark, they just don't like to bark.

It's hard to find a dog with a more cleanliness obsession than Shiba Inu. They usually have high hygiene requirements for their sleeping areas and don't like to defecate or pee in dog beds or cages. When walking the dog outside and encountering a rainy pond, they will automatically jump and bounce away, afraid of getting wet, so behaviors like Labrador that make them want to jump down when they see a small river are unlikely to happen to them. Therefore, Shiba Inu is almost the dog with the smallest body odor, even if it doesn't bathe for a month, there is hardly any obvious body odor.

Most Shiba Inu have an independent personality and are not clingy to people. They do not need their owners to constantly hold them in their arms and comfort them, so when you are at home, you can focus on doing your own things and they will quietly be at your feet and by your side. But this does not mean that Shiba Inu is not close to people, it will show a close side towards the people it likes.

Finally, Shiba Inu is a medium-sized dog with a relatively small body size, weighing around 10kg. Whether it is an elderly person or a child, there will be no pressure on body size or weight when interacting closely with it.

After discussing the advantages, the following are the disadvantages of Shiba Inu.

Firstly,Shiba Inu is a small dog with a large dog like personality. It is more stubborn than ordinary pet dogs and requires longer training and education during its puppy stage. It has its own thoughts and temperament, and will constantly tug at its master servant relationship with its owner. This requires strict education and stability as the dog ages. There are also significant differences in the personalities of males and females.

Secondly, Shiba Inu belongs to the cold zone dog breed and has two layers of fur on its body, one layer of fluff on the inside and one layer of bristles on the outside. After reaching the age of one, it will change its fur twice a year. The shedding of fur is done by first shedding light on the long side, unlike other pet dogs that shed edge length. The shedding cycle lasts about 4 to 8 weeks, and the shedding period is usually during the seasons of spring and autumn. The amount of fur shed during shedding is really large.

Finally, when taking the Shiba Inu out for fun, be sure to hold onto the Shiba Inu's rope. Once the Shiba Inu discovers that it can move freely without restraint, it is highly likely that you will not be able to catch up with the Shiba Inu in action, resulting in the Shiba Inu being lost.

Based on the above advantages and disadvantages, I personally think that Shiba Inu is very suitable for urban environment breeding. Even if living in high-rise buildings, raising Shiba Inu is very convenient and not easy to disturb the public. Of course, the disadvantages need to be solved through training and education, as well as diligent cleaning. I believe that vacuum cleaners, drum hair sticking tools, etc. are all necessary household items for pet owners.

Many people cannot distinguish the difference between Akita Inu and Shiba Inu, but in fact, the main difference between Akita Inu and Shiba Inu lies in their personalities and body types. Akita Inu has a larger body size and a calm personality, while Shiba Inu has a smaller body size and a lively and proactive personality. This article will give you a general introduction to the characteristics of Akita Inu, allowing you to have a certain understanding of them before choosing to raise them.

The difference between Akita Inu and Shiba Inu mainly lies in their personality and body size. Akita Inu has a larger body size and a calm and composed personality, while Shiba Inu has a smaller body size and a more lively and active personality.Akita Inu is an excellent companion dog known for its loyalty to its owner, being very gentle towards family members and familiar people, and having a high level of vigilance towards strangers; The story prototype of "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" is an Akita dog; They are intelligent, able to quickly understand their master's instructions, and have strong learning abilities. However, due to their relatively independent personalities and strong self-awareness, they require a certain amount of patience from their master during training.

Akita Inu has strong adaptability and independence, with enough time for outdoor activities, and can even adapt to smaller living spaces without requiring too much companionship. It is suitable for busy work owners, which is why many other large dogs are not as good as Akita Inu; It should be noted that Akita Inu prefers a clean environment and is sensitive to both herself and her living environment, requiring her owner to regularly clean and organize their living space. Meanwhile, Akita Inu has excellent cold resistance, and people living in cold regions can consider keeping Akita Inu when choosing a dog.

Before choosing to raise an Akita Inu, you also need to know some of its shortcomings. Akita Inu have a stubborn personality, are independent and independent, and may be difficult to control during training. It is necessary to develop good habits at a young age. Although Akita dogs are loyal to their owners, they are indifferent and even wary of strangers. Therefore, it is important to cultivate Akita dogs to develop social habits, so as not to cause harm to others when raising them in areas with high population mobility. They also have a strong possessiveness and territorial awareness, which can lead to strong aggression towards other dogs.

As a large dog, Akita Inu needs sufficient exercise to release energy; If there is a lack of exercise, it may lead to psychological problems and destructive behavior in Akita dogs. At the same time, Akita dogs have a certain risk of disease, such as hip dysplasia and thyroid diseases. When raising them, it is important to pay attention to their physical condition and seek medical attention promptly if any problems arise.

Nowadays, many people choose to raise Labrador Retrievers and complain because they did not fully understand their characteristics before raising them. Now let me take you to understand the advantages and disadvantages of Labrador Retrievers and help you get along better with them.

Let's first talk about the advantages of Labrador Retrievers and see what other advantages they have that you may not know.

Labrador Retrievers are mobile hunting dogs that prefer to exercise and have a higher daily physical activity. Therefore, their owners do not need to worry too much about their health and physical fitness. Growing up, Labrador Retrievers are still relatively reassuring, with a good frequency of illness and good health.

Labrador Retriever ranks 7th in intelligence among dogs and is considered the smartest breed of dog. Although there is a gap with dogs such as Border Collies, the difference is not significant when only learning basic skills. Most Labrador Retrievers will understand their owner's meaning and remember when they hear a new command 5-10 times, with a probability of following the command being over 95%. Keeping a Labrador Retriever is not a big problem for both the Labrador Retriever and its owner, whether it is through regular urination and defecation training or basic obedience skills such as sitting and lying down.

Labrador is a dog breed that is very close to humans. It is non aggressive and has a very gentle personality. Even when encountering strangers on the road, it will wag its tail to greet them. It is also very friendly to children and the elderly, and is very adept at playing with children in daily life. It is a very gentle dog.

In addition, Labrador Retrievers like to please their owners, and their owners' touches, words, laughter, and hugs are all rewards for them. In daily interactions, it is important to avoid mistakes and encourage dogs. For example, don't touch it when it pounces, so as not to develop a bad habit of pouncing on people.

After introducing the advantages, what are the disadvantages of Labrador Retrievers?

Although it is a short haired dog, it does not affect its shedding of fur at all. Once it is the season for changing fur, it sheds fur everywhere in the house. Keeping a Labrador Retriever requires regular grooming of its fur. Otherwise, everything from your living room to your clothes will suffer

According to statistics from professional dog training associations, Labrador Retrievers have a high level of physical activity. If their exercise needs are not met, it may lead to bad habits such as damaging furniture, playing and biting excitedly, and rushing out when going out. Therefore, it is recommended to give Labrador Retrievers more than 2 hours of outdoor exercise time every day. If you do not have sufficient free time, it is still not advisable to choose to keep Labrador Retrievers.

Greedy eating is the biggest weakness of Labrador Retrievers. In addition to being greedy, Labrador Retrievers also have a huge appetite and have no concept of being full. Therefore, if not careful, it is easy to raise Labrador Retrievers in a state of severe overweight, which can harm their own health.

Although Golden Retriever is one of the most commonly raised dog breeds, it not only has a likable personality but is also easy to raise. Let's take a look at the characteristics of Golden Retriever together.

Golden Retrievers are known for their friendliness and loyalty, establishing deep emotional connections with humans. Whether with family members or strangers, Golden Retrievers always show great friendliness, making them one of the most popular family pets

One of the important reasons why the Golden Retriever has become an ideal choice for many families to keep pets is its strong adaptability. Whether living in urban apartments or rural areas, it can quickly integrate into the local environment.

As an ideal training target for special dogs such as guide dogs and search and rescue dogs, Golden Retrievers are very intelligent, adept at quickly understanding human commands, and able to quickly learn various skills.

Tip: For outdoor enthusiasts, the Golden Retriever is also a great companion; They are full of vitality and can participate in activities such as swimming, jungle exploration, hiking and mountaineering with you. For some people who want to participate in outdoor activities with their dogs, the Golden Retriever is a breed worth choosing.

Next, let's take a look at the drawbacks of the Golden Retriever.

The shedding phenomenon of Golden Retrievers is very serious. Due to their double coat and two large-scale hair replacement periods every year, their owners need to regularly clean and maintain their hair. For people with cleanliness or respiratory diseases, Golden Retrievers are not a suitable breed for breeding.

As a hunting breed, the Golden Retriever requires a lot of exercise to maintain its physical and mental health. If its exercise needs cannot be met, the Golden Retriever may become restless and exhibit destructive behavior.

As a hunting breed, the Golden Retriever requires a lot of exercise to maintain its physical and mental health. If its exercise needs cannot be met, the Golden Retriever may become restless and exhibit destructive behavior. At the same time, the huge demand for exercise brings about a huge appetite, and Golden Retrievers usually have a relatively large appetite, which also means they need more food to meet their energy needs. If you are a person who has just started working and is not financially well-off, the appetite of Golden Retrievers will bring you a certain burden. Please consider carefully before feeding them.

Is the corgi easy to keep? What should we pay attention to when raising corgi? This article will take you to deeply understand the characteristics of corgi dog, so that you can have a preliminary understanding of it before breeding corgi.

The height of an adult corgi dog is about 25-30cm, and the weight is about 10-15kg. Most corgi dogs mature at one year old, while a few will delay their development to two or three years old.Corgi is a kind of gentle and friendly dog, always willing to be close to people, and can quickly establish trust and feelings with the owner. As a type of sheepdog, they are lively, energetic, and energetic; The reaction speed is amazing, and it can quickly capture changes around it, making it a highly alert dog. Corgi dogs are very smart, quick witted and easy to train. As long as they are well taught, they can quickly understand their master's instructions.

So what are the characteristics of corgi dogs and whether they are suitable for breeding?

1.Because of corgi's body shape, they will suffer from spinal diseases; Due to corgi's congenital long body and short limbs, his cartilage is not fully developed. If he often climbs stairs, fights for a long time or runs and jumps violently, his spine will be compressed for a long time, causing spinal lesions. If you want to avoid this kind of disease for your corgi dog, you should try to avoid corgi standing for a long time, climbing stairs and reducing corgi dog's strenuous exercise to reduce the pressure on the spine.

2.Corgi dogs are gluttonous. A little more food will easily make them fat. If they are too fat, they will easily cause extra burden on corgi's joints and spine. Therefore, remember to control the amount of food each time, and let corgi dogs develop the habit of regular exercise.

3.As a kind of sheepdog, corgi dogs are very sensitive to sounds, which is the nature of corgi dogs for a long time. Therefore, the sound of car horns, the sound of trains moving, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers during the Spring Festival, and other huge environmental sounds may make corgi dogs nervous and afraid, and then produce stress reactions; The owner can first let the corgi dog get used to the environmental sounds generated in daily life when he is young, so as to reduce the psychological problems caused by the corgi dog's over sensitivity to sounds.

4.As a kind of shepherd dog, the corgi dog is lively and energetic and has abundant physical strength. Therefore, the owner should have enough time to take the corgi dog outdoors every day. If the corgi dog is not fully exercised to vent his energy, the corgi dog will destroy the goods at home and produce depression in the long run.

5.Although corgi's hair is not long, it is very thick. When corgi is about four months old, he will experience the first hair changing period. The breeder is mainly prepared for the degree of hair loss of corgi dogs. Owners not only pay attention to their dogs' balanced diet and eat less high-fat foods, but also recommend helping their dogs comb their hair every day to help new hair grow smoothly. A balanced diet also helps prevent hair loss in corgi dogs.

These are the main characteristics of corgi dogs. I hope they can help you in the process of raising corgi dogs.

Under normal circumstances, dogs almost never cough; If you find your dog coughing all the time, please pay attention. In addition to respiratory diseases, heart disease is also one of the important causes of dog coughing.

If older dogs show symptoms of coughing, owners should pay attention. Dogs with heart disease may experience persistent coughing after exercise or lying down, accompanied by a lethargic state. In severe cases, they may even experience difficulty breathing. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible to confirm whether they really have heart disease and receive timely treatment. In addition to older dogs, Chihuahua, corgi and other breeds are also high-risk breeds of heart disease, so the owner should pay more attention.

Tracheal collapse is a common disease in small dogs such as Shih Tzu and Pomeranian. Tracheal collapse caused by the wear and degradation of cartilage in the dog's trachea can lead to symptoms such as coughing and difficulty breathing; Dogs suffering from tracheal collapse should seek medical attention immediately and use medication under the guidance of a doctor for treatment; If the owner fails to detect it in a timely manner and the condition worsens, stent placement surgery may be necessary for treatment; This is a significant challenge for both dogs and their owners, so it is important to pay more attention to the condition of dogs in daily life.

In addition to pathological coughing, some environmental changes can also cause coughing symptoms in dogs. For example, the loud environmental sounds such as firecrackers during festivals and holidays can startle dogs and cause them to cough briefly; Irritating gases such as excessively irritating perfume, cleaning spray or cigarettes can also make dogs cough. It is recommended that dogs live in fresh air as far as possible. If the above cough symptoms do not improve in a short period of time, it is recommended to undergo further examination.

In addition, significant changes in temperature can also stimulate the respiratory system of dogs, causing coughing symptoms. This phenomenon is more pronounced in older dogs, and owners should try to avoid their dogs frequently experiencing significant changes in temperature.

If your dog is a newborn puppy and the symptoms of sudden coughing have not improved, please pay special attention because the puppy's immune system is not fully established and the respiratory system is not fully developed, making it more susceptible to various bacterial and viral infections, and the respiratory tract is also prone to symptoms such as blockage and inflammation; In addition, there is also a risk of developing heart disease, so if the cough symptoms of puppies do not improve, please seek medical attention immediately to confirm the cause.

Regularly cleaning your dog's mouth can help prevent problems such as bad breath, tartar, gum inflammation, etc., and maintain a healthy mouth. Below are several methods for cleaning your dog's mouth.

The simplest way is to purchase relevant food and toys. There are specially designed chewing toys and oral cleaning foods on the market, which can help dogs remove food residue and plaque from the gaps between their teeth through friction when biting, making their teeth clean.You can also choose to use natural ingredients instead of the chewing toys or food mentioned above, such as apples, radishes, or large bones, which can have a certain effect on grinding teeth and cleaning teeth. However, be careful to choose bones that are not easily bitten by dogs (such as cow leg bones), as broken bones may scratch the dog's esophagus and intestines.

A more tedious cleaning method is to brush the dog's teeth; Firstly, choose a toothbrush that is suitable for your dog according to its size. Nowadays, glove type toothbrushes are also available for purchase. Secondly, it is necessary to purchase dog specific toothpaste. Toothpaste used by humans may contain fluoride or other harmful substances to the dog's body, so it is not recommended to use it.

After preparation, let the dog lick the toothbrush and toothpaste to get familiar with their scent. Then gently open the dog's mouth and start brushing from the outside of the teeth near the gums; If the dog shows resistance, stop brushing immediately. Do not force the dog, but gradually adapt to brushing; Brushing teeth for 75-120 seconds each time is sufficient.You can also purchase dog specific mouthwash and mix it with the dog's daily drinking water in proportion for the dog to drink; Or purchase a special cleaning spray. Under the condition of ensuring that the dog is familiar with the smell of spray and will not have stress reaction to the use of spray, directly spray spray on the dog's mouth to help the dog inhibit the growth of oral bacteria and reduce halitosis and dental plaque.

Please regularly clean your dog's mouth during its early childhood to make it accustomed to this behavior and reduce resistance to oral hygiene. Regularly check your dog's teeth and gums for any odor, swelling, or looseness, and seek medical attention promptly if any issues arise.
