Tibetan Mastiff Breeding Methods:
The weight of an adult healthy Tibetan Mastiff is half that of a German Shepherd, which should be said to be relatively small.
The cost is relatively low, because there are no good conditions in the mainland in pastoral areas, so the dietary level of Tibetan mastiffs is not as high as that of pets, because it is not as expensive as imagined. Two mastiffs eat about 5,000 a year.
After adulthood, there is no difference from other dogs. Some can eat more than 1,000 points a year.
Injection of vaccine
Day 1: 1. After the puppies fall from the mother's womb, the mother dog bites off the umbilical cord and sucks the puppies clean all over her body. Then lifts up the puppies and wipes them dry with gauze. Leave one centimeter of the umbilical cord and tie it with white thread. Cut the umbilical cord and disinfect it with betadine.
2. If the fetus is in critical respiratory distress or not breathing, put its head down, rock it left and right, or suck the puppy's nose with your mouth, spit out the water, and then perform artificial respiration, massage the chest, and pat.
3. Drop 0.5CC of glucose 5% or vitamin ADEC solution into the puppy's mouth to enhance vitality.
4. The puppy sucks before placing the mother’s nipple (if the puppy cannot suck, open the puppy’s mouth with your hand, hold the mother’s nipple in its mouth and suck slowly).
5. Colostrum (mother's milk from the 1st to 17th day) is very important for the puppies to absorb the mother's milk as much as possible. The immune system will be more than 75% strong and can resist the disease of great distemper.
Day 3: The umbilical cord falls off.
Day 7: Removal of the wolf’s toes.
Day 14: Eyes open.
Day 18: Start learning to stand and walk.
Day 21: Deworming (3 consecutive days).
Day 25: Eyes can see and ears can hear. Start supplementing with milk powder, high protein, vitamins, and calcium powder.
Day 30: Preparing for weaning.
Day 35: The baby teeth begin to open, the dog can defecate on its own, and the male dog’s testicles slide into the vagina.
Day 42: Inject DA2L vaccine. Day 50: Deworming.
Day 63: CPV vaccine injection.
Day 70: Booster PV vaccine injection.
Day 90: DA2L and PV vaccine booster injection.
8th to 10th month: Dogs in heat for the first time (female dogs) will receive additional DA2L and PV vaccine injections after one year.
Dogs over four months old should be vaccinated against rabies
Tibetan mastiff feeding obstacles and prevention instructions
(1) Canine hip dysplasia
Puppies of large dog breeds have a limited growth period, about one to one and a half years. As a result of rapid development, due to the influence of innate factors and acquired environment, they often cause problems with bone and muscle structure, which makes breeding and It causes great disturbance to the breeders. Medullary dysplasia in dogs is caused by the abnormal development of the ball and socket of the bone joint, that is, the mismatch between the head of the femur (thigh bone) and the socket - abnormal wear and tear of the joint surface - arthritis - degeneration of the joint sick. It is common in fast-growing puppies and can occur on both hips. Most dogs with this condition can live normal lives except for mild or intermittent discomfort.
The genetic factors related to this disease, such as congenital in humans, can also be reduced by breeding in dogs. In terms of breed - when puppies grow rapidly, the fleshy tissue in the carcass develops slowly and cannot support the body weight, causing the femoral head to gradually move out of the carcass socket, causing friction. The older the litter, the more likely it is to occur, so puppies should not be overfed to reduce the severity. In terms of age - the period from when puppies start learning to walk to the age of 8 months is the impact stage. Nutritional aspects - There is currently no evidence that it is related to an imbalance of vitamins and minerals.
Symptoms that can be seen in dogs include difficulty in changing postures, such as changing from sitting to standing, and difficulties in climbing or jumping. Normal Lh dogs are prone to fatigue, leaning forward to disperse weight, small hind limbs, and movement of the hind limbs when running. Like a rabbit hopping. The pain is not obvious and broken feet are rare. If there is pain and broken feet, the whole body and fractures should be considered first. In severe cases, the glenoid fossa will be filled with fibrous tissue and stagnated due to wear and tear. Although the marrow is stable, it will cause irreparable damage to the joint, which is called degenerative joint disease. Symptoms in dogs are often more severe, such as difficulty in standing up, and stiffness of the hind limbs during rest, exercise, and in wet and cold weather. Once the function of the hind limbs weakens, muscle atrophy and joint stiffness become more obvious.
General treatment principles - moderate rest, exercise, weight control, use of analgesics, and selection of normal dogs during breeding. Young affected dogs usually do not require surgery and will gradually improve as they mature.
(2) Instructions for vaccination from the time the female dog is in estrus to the puppies
For breeders, the most important stage of success is whether a female dog goes through a series of processes from estrus to breeding, pregnancy, birth, lactation, weaning, deworming and vaccination. Whether it goes smoothly or not is the most important stage for success.
Most dog breeds can go into estrus twice a year, with an interval of about 6-7 months each time. A few breeds, such as Terriers and Bastilles, only go into heat once a year on average. The number of days in the estrus and bleeding period varies from dog to dog, and even for the same dog, the number of days varies from 2 days to 21 days. Sometimes, short-term repeated estrus can also be seen. Once the breeding period has passed 24 hours, the success rate of conception is extremely low. So one has to be cautious.
The female dog’s food intake does not increase much before and during the second trimester of pregnancy. It increases by about 50% at the end of pregnancy, and can increase to 3 times the normal amount during the peak lactation period. The fetus is less than 54 days old or more than 70 days old. The survivors have little chance of survival.
Changes in weight are an indicator of the health of newborn puppies. The weight of puppies at birth varies depending on the breed. For example, the birth weight of giant dog and small dog fetuses can differ by as much as 7 times, and the baby's heartbeat may be faster. Up to 2 taps/min, and the number of breaths is 15-35 times/min. The body temperature at birth is about 35.5 degrees and then gradually rises, reaching 37.7 degrees in the fourth week, so care should be taken when keeping warm.
Example puppies will feel pain when they are just born, and the umbilical cord will fall off naturally 2-3 days after birth. Neuromuscular reflexes are seen at 7 days of age, so heat preservation should avoid burning and dehydration. It can crawl at the age of 7-14 days, start walking at the age of 16 days, and the pace is quite stable at the age of 21 days.
