How to keep an ancient sheepdog healthy? Do you all want to know? Then how to breed it? The following small beans for you to share the British ancient sheepdog breeding method.

Purebred Ancient Shepherd Breeding Methods:

Feeding:

In the feed, it should contain about 500 grams of meat per day, plus the same portion of vegetarian feed such as cereal or rice flour or cornmeal. Meat should be cooked first, cut into small pieces, added to a small amount of water and mixed with vegetarian feed (cooked) and then fed. The feed must be fresh and hygienic. Properly balanced proteins, carbohydrates, sugars, fats, vitamins, and minerals. The mineral requirements are based on the substances consumed in their ancient habitat, all genetically determined by their ancestors.

Feeding should be finished within 15 to 25 minutes each time, and the trough will be removed when that time comes, forcing it to develop a good habit of taking food regularly. After each feeding, wipe off the residual food around its muzzle to keep it neat and beautiful.

The Ancient English Sheepdog loves exercise and should be walked outside or allowed to run around the yard every day, preferably once in the morning and once in the evening for 30 to 40 minutes, whether as a watchdog or as a play dog.

Grooming:

The hair should be combed once in the morning and once in the evening for 5 minutes each time.

Combing should pay attention to the order: starting from the neck, from the front to the back, top to bottom in order, that is, first from the neck to the shoulder, and then in turn the back, chest, waist, abdomen, hindquarters, then comb the head, and finally the limbs and tail, the combing process should be combed on one side and then comb the other side.

Grooming techniques: Grooming should be done in the direction of the smooth hair with a quick combing and pulling. Many people in the long-haired dog combing, only combing the surface of the long hair and ignore the bottom of the fine fur combing. Canine undercoat, fine and dense, long-term not combed, will form tangles, and even cause eczema, dermatophytosis or other skin diseases. Therefore, when combing the long-haired dog, it should be combed layer by layer, but also turn up the long hair, and then comb its undercoat.

Types of combs: bristle brushes, flexible wire brushes and long, sparse metal combs. Brushes can only fluff up the ends of long coats, while fine fuzzy hair cannot be combed. Brushes, flexible wire brushes and long, sparse metal combs should be used in conjunction when grooming long-haired dogs.

vaccinations

Immunization of puppies is critical and is usually done at 28 days of age with a puppy diphtheria or at 45-60 days of age with the first multiplex vaccination, followed by the second and third multiplex vaccination every 25-30 days thereafter. Alternatively, the puppy can be immunized with the first multiplex vaccination at 50-60 days of age, the second multiplex at 80-90 days, and the third multiplex at six months of age.

Vaccination should not be given too far in advance, otherwise it will interfere with the immunity of the mother that the puppy carries (except for Puppy Duplex), and two vaccinations given at an interval of less than 15 days will lead to the accumulation of too many viruses in the puppy’s body and lead to serious consequences. Adult dogs should be immunized once a year, or once every six months for kennels with high breeding density.

deworming

There is no rule for deworming drugs and time, the most commonly used drug is levamisole, which is usually dewormed once after 20 days of puppy’s birth, then for three days in a row in 30-35 days, and then once again before 60 days. At present, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Hong Kong often adopt the following deworming protocol: the first deworming is carried out 2 weeks after birth, and deworming is carried out every 2 weeks from 2 to 8 weeks of age; deworming is carried out once a month from 2 to 6 months of age; deworming is carried out once every three months after 6 months of age. For dogs at 6 months of age who are not sure whether to be dewormed or not, the deworming should generally be repeated after the first deworming, and then every three months thereafter.

Adult dogs every three months deworming, depending on the situation can be appropriate to lengthen the interval, deworming roundworms, such as levamisole, deworming tapeworms to use arsenic quinolone, trichomoniasis with metronidazole, different parasites should be used to choose different deworming medication, in general, if the parasites are more, the feces from the dog can be seen in the type of certain parasites, but trichomoniasis, coccidia need to be determined by microscope laboratory, so deworming must be The right medication should be given to the right person.
