catalogue

Origin: Japan

History: It was quite popular in Japan after World War II. 1948, JKC (Japan Kennel Club) formulated the standard of Japanese pointed beak. Implemented and approved in 1953. The first Japanese beagle dog landed in Australia in 1980, and the first litter of beagle puppies was born in Australia in 198 1 year.

Height: shoulder height 12- 14 inch.

Body length: 30-36 cm

Weight: 6- 10 kg

Life: about 12 years.

Personality: smart, lively and energetic puppy. At the same time, it is the owner's life partner and an excellent watchdog. Be alert and sensitive to what is happening around you. I prefer to scream, especially when strangers are near. Obedience and learning ability are very high. This lively puppy likes playing and catching games very much. They are usually friendly to children and other pets.

Living conditions: Japanese sharp-nosed dogs can be kept indoors or outdoors. Need enough space and freedom.

Hair and care of pointed mouth: Japanese pointed mouth hair is easy to take care of. 1 2-3 times a week, each time 10 minutes is enough. Because the pointed mouth doesn't have body odor, 1 year is enough to take 2-3 baths (I have reservations about this, in order to keep the dog clean, take a bath at least once every two months). You don't need to push or pull your hair.

A disease with a sharp mouth: dislocation of kneecap

Key points of purchase: dogs with thick and soft fur, upright ears, bright eyes, backward curled tail, plump fur, flat head, mouth and nose tip, strong limbs and pure white fur should be selected.

Avoid choice: short tail, curly coat color, non-white coat color, lack of melanin in nose, eye margin and lips, and light eye color. Mixed-race, ear-pricked, bilateral cryptorchidism people should not choose.

The difference between Samoyed Dog and Silver Fox Dog!

Adult Samoyed and Silver Fox are basically different. But when people buy puppies, many people will not distinguish. After all, the price difference between the puppies of Silver Fox and Satsuma is ten times, and the price difference between the puppies of Silver Fox and Satsuma is very big. Many merchants take advantage of the similarity between the two to confuse the real with the fake.

1 mouth: The biggest difference between Samak and Silver Fox is the mouth. Samak's mouth is wider and shorter than that of the silver fox, and the meat on both sides of the mouth is thicker than that of the silver fox.

2 Cheeks: Satsuma's cheeks are much fuller than Silver Fox's.

3 eyes: Satsuma has typical almond eyes, and silver fox's eyes are relatively small and round.

4 Face: Shama's face is also different from Silver Fox's face. Satsuma's forehead is deeper and more obvious, just like the arhat fish (forehead). In layman's terms, the angle between face and nose is larger. The silver fox's forehead is relatively inconspicuous, which means it presents a much smaller angle.

Ears: There are also differences between the ears of Satsuma and Silver Fox. In summer, the ears are relatively thick, and the ears of silver fox are relatively thin.

6 wool system: the wool system of Shama and Silver Fox is very different. Satsuma's hair is softer and fuller than silver fox's. The hair system of the silver fox is relatively more like the impure Bomei in the market. It feels hard and looks like a wisp. It doesn't feel as soft and smooth as Satsuma.

7 coat color: relatively speaking, the coat color of silver fox tends to be white, as if it had been bleached, and the reflected brightness is also greater than that of Satsuma. However, Satsuma's coat color tends to be milky white, like the feeling of cotton, and the reflective brightness is not so high. The overall feeling is furry.

8 claws: The claw shape of Samo is similar to that of Husky, and the claw shape of Silver Fox is similar to that of Bomei.

9 expression: the expression of silver fox has no characteristics. The sweeter the expression and face in summer, the better.

10 personality: silver fox is timid by nature, loves to bark, and is easy to lose his temper. In summer, I am willing to play with people. I am smart and active, but I am also very naughty.

In view of the frequent questions about the size of Satsuma, I hereby announce the ACK standard for Satsuma size:

The shoulder height of an adult Satsuma (the length from the ground to the highest point of the scapula) should be 2 1 to 23.5 inches, which translates to 53.4 to 60 cm. Some people say that the small size is actually a silver fox, or a string of silver foxes and summer. Please pay attention to the distinction!

Japanese Silver Fox-Indoor Training

Japan spitz

Japan spitz

Some dogs learn indoor training quickly, but others take a long time to learn. If your dog is an adult dog without indoor training, you should treat it as a new puppy. If your dog makes trouble at home, don't punish them with corporal punishment. A loud and harsh verbal scolding is enough. Because if dogs are punished and beaten after making mistakes, they will only be more nervous and afraid of you. In addition, the pet house reminds you to know when the puppy needs to pee. When your dog wakes up, is full and has had enough fun, take it to the selected place to pee, and then you must be responsible for cleaning it up. If you want to prevent the dog from peeing indoors, you can put it in a dog cage and take it to the street when you have time. When your dog pees, you can call it "hurry up" and praise it. Soon he knew that when he heard "hurry up", the dog would pee.

Dogs will avoid soiling their nests. When you are busy, you can put it in the dog cage and give it some toys. But you have to calculate the time carefully and let it out when necessary.

Remind you: when choosing a dog cage, pay attention to whether the cage is suitable for your dog. If the cage is too big, the dog will make a mess of the extra place.

When your dog has learned to urinate outdoors, it will be very confusing if you want him to urinate in the indoor newspaper. Dogs should be trained to pee outdoors as much as possible. If the situation does not allow, it can only be solved indoors. Let the dog out of the cage and teach it to pee in the newspaper.

Use newspapers to teach your dog the skills of defecation: first, spread a newspaper in the place you choose. The puppy will leave a smell when it goes for the first time and will defecate in this place next time. If you find that the range of places where dogs defecate is similar, you can start to gradually narrow the range of newspapers until you reach the range of a newspaper. To this extent, your dog can be regarded as the most basic lesson that you have trained indoors.

Japanese silver fox-puppy breeding

Japan spitz

Japan spitz

1. Puppy

Before the baby comes, I suggest you make some preparations in advance for the healthy growth of the baby.

1. Don't leave a narrow gap between all kinds of articles and furniture to prevent the baby's head from getting stuck and being injured.

2. The wires at home should be placed out of the reach of the baby to prevent the baby from biting the wires and getting an electric shock (it is best to install a leakage protection device).

Drugs, pesticides and washing products should be kept out of the reach of babies.

4. Don't spray pesticides and rodenticides in your baby's daily activities and passing places to prevent your baby from being poisoned by eating.

Don't put cigarettes and ashtrays where the baby can reach them, in case the baby eats them by mistake.

As the saying goes, "good teeth and good appetite", people and dogs are the same. A pair of healthy teeth is very important to the baby's health.

Second, the teeth.

1, don't give the baby too soft food, so as not to cause the teeth to loosen. It's best to give the baby dog food. If you make your own food hard or eat dog food alternately with your own food (such as making your own dog food for breakfast and dinner)

2. Give your baby some dog bone glue from time to time to prevent teeth from loosening and remove tartar.

3. You can usually scrub your baby's teeth with a cloth soaked in normal saline (there are toothbrushes for dogs on the market).

Step 3: Take a bath

Japan spitz

Every parent wants his baby to be clean. Here are some precautions for bathing your baby:

1, don't be too diligent, once a week in summer and once a month in winter (be sure to turn off the air conditioner when bathing your baby in summer to prevent your baby from catching a cold).

2. It is best to use a bath dedicated to pets when taking a bath. If not, you can use a baby bath instead. I used it, and the effect is good.

3, pour warm water into the bathtub, the water temperature should not be too high, it should be around 30~35 degrees, let the baby stand in the bathtub, start watering from the tail and spray all over the body. (Note: Water can't enter the ear)

4. Apply a proper amount of bath liquid on the back, knead until a large amount of foam is produced, then start to wash other parts down, and then rinse off the foam with clear water. If it's too dirty, sprinkle it with bath liquid and wash it again.

5, replace clean warm water, carefully wash off the baby's foam, especially the hair roots (need a lot of water), do not have bath residue or it will hurt the skin.

6. Clean the baby's anal gland when taking a bath. The inside of the ear can be wiped with a wet and dry towel (the towel should not be too wet).

7. Take the baby out, let it shake off the water, and then wipe the baby clean with a dry towel.

8. Blow dry the baby's hair with a hair dryer with a comb (be careful not to get too close to the baby to avoid burns).

have a beauty treatment

1, appliances: comb, scissors

2. Preparation before cutting: Trimming should be carried out after taking a shower (Note: when trimming, scissors should be used vertically, not facing the baby's body to avoid injury. Please calm the baby when pruning, talk to him to distract him, keep him calm and avoid him moving.

3. Trim from beards, ears and other easy places. These places can be neat with a little modification.

4, mandible: the hair at the mandible is not only useless, but also affects the beauty of the face, and the excess hair should be cut off.

5, lips: the long hair under the baby's lips should also be cut off.

6, the baby's soles are dirty parts, the hair on the feet is too long, it is easy to get some foreign objects when walking, and it is easy to slip when running. Trim the hair on the baby's toes and the long hair growing from the toe tip, and keep it clean to prevent the baby from slipping and causing accidental injuries.

7. Toes: It is advisable to trim the hair on the toes to the length that can cover the nails, so that the tip of the hair just touches the ground when the dog walks.

8, front and rear legs: use a comb to straighten the hair, cut off the long hair, and trim the length according to the outline of the leg, which looks natural and beautiful.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) specifies diet.

1, when you make all kinds of bone soup for your baby, you must remove the oil. I think everyone knows this truth, so I won't say it (the method is: after the soup is cooled, it is frozen in the refrigerator, and it is easy to take out the solidified oil, and then filter it with gauze to remove impurities when heating).

2, when cooking for the baby, add vegetables to increase vitamins, not just meat.

3. The baby eats some fruits every day, such as apples, pears, bananas, carrots and cucumbers. It can increase vitamins and prevent excessive internal heat.

Japanese silver fox-defecation training

Japan spitz

Japan spitz

Dog's defecation habit: The puppy is blind after birth, unable to move and defecate outside the nest. The bitch will lick the puppy's genitals regularly and eat its feces, which is a maternal behavior. After about 3 weeks, the puppy will know how to get out of the nest and defecate elsewhere. At the age of 6 months, most puppies can defecate in designated places because they naturally like to defecate in the same place. Puppies sniff around with their noses before defecating in a fixed place. As long as they smell the excrement left over from the past, they will go to the same place to defecate. Dogs like to queue up in inconspicuous corners every time they defecate, especially bitches, who don't want to attract people's attention. If it is in the garden or in the wild, sometimes feces will be buried with sand, grass or leaves. This habit is very important for training dogs to defecate in designated places.

Understand: 8-month-old dogs will never defecate where they sleep, nor will they defecate anywhere during a long sleep. They can tolerate it for at least 4-6 hours unless they are sick or have diarrhea. However, after waking up in the morning, I will definitely defecate within 1 hour. However, after eating 1 hour, even less than 10 minute, because the stomach is stimulated by food and the baroreceptor works, it will also cause defecation.

In-box defecation training: Before buying a dog, prepare an uncovered carton or wooden box for the dog, put a plastic sheet inside, put some newspapers or straw on it, and put the box in a corner of the room.

The newly bought dog must be cared for frequently in the first 10- 14 days. If you have time, grab it in the box for a few minutes every hour until it defecates. Or whether there are signs of defecation, such as anxiety, turning around, sniffing, tilting, squatting, etc. , should be timely pull or hold in the box to defecate. Over time, dogs will get used to defecating in the box. Every time it poops in the box, you should admire it and say "good", "good" and "really obedient" to it.

I suggest you pat it gently, or touch its head, neck, back or its favorite part to be touched, or give it some food as a reward. Its intelligence is very high, it will certainly understand that your reward is the right behavior, and it will be willing to defecate in the box in the future. If the puppy forgets to defecate in the box, you should immediately catch it, press its nose on its excrement and scold it sharply to let it know that it is a punishment. Then hold it in a box and let it smell, so that after 2-3 trainings, it will remember to defecate in the box.
