Owning a dog is a really wonderful thing. They make great companions and also keep watch over the home and protect the family. There are literally hundreds of different breeds that one can choose from, but the Poodle is definitely a fan favorite and for good reason. The Poodle is a beautiful, caring and affectionate breed of dog one that makes a great family pet.
With sustained popularity, Poodle breeding is commonplace. There are good breeders and bad, but it is easy to tell the difference. Experienced breeders know that there are a few issues that need to be considered before one goes ahead and buys a Poodle, and in particular this refers to Poodle care.
Poodle care involves proper brushing, bathing, training, clipping and guidance of the dog, as this is essential in order for them to grow up happy and healthy. Proper nutrition is also a major part of Poodle care and it is important that the dog be fed the proper foods and gets plenty of fresh water as well.
Vaccinations are one of the most important parts of Poodle breeding, and should continue well after the puppies are sent home with new owners. This is because it is these vaccinations that help to prevent the dog from getting infectious diseases.
When choosing dog food for a Poodle, one important step is to consider the dog’s stage of life. Making sure that the food chosen is going to be appropriate for their stage of life is very important, because after all dogs are going to need different food depending on how old they are. A puppy eating adult dog food is not going to get the higher amounts of calories, protein, vitamins and minerals that he is going to need to strive.
Poodle breeding is not for everyone. It takes a pretty big upfront investment to enable the purchase of well- bred parents, paying stud fees, maintaining clean kennels, getting good veterinary services and many other breeding necessities like food. Some qualities like caring for new puppy litters as part of the family and then turning the puppies over to new owners takes time to get used to. Some people never get used to this and cannot breed Poodles.
Poodle breeding, as with breeding any dog, takes years to learn. A large cash investment is necessary to purchase well-bred parents, pay stud fees, maintain clean kennels, obtain quality veterinary services, supply high quality food and other breeding needs. Love of the breed is required and the ability to whelp the puppies as family members and then give them up to new families can be difficult. Some qualities of a good breeder cannot be learned.
A variety of dog toys are a mandatory requirement because puppies need things for playing and chewing. Be sure to keep the breeder’s phone number handy because this is a valuable resource when you need trusted information.
