When you consider buying a pet is very wise to consider the space available to have it, without allowing it to be uncomfortable when I grow up. It should take into account the characteristics of the animal is purchased, the natural habitat, and whether we have something similar.

The dog, cats, birds, are pets that do not require large spaces or special care, but if they need attention from their owners.

These are animals that can have at home or in apartments, and are companion animals that serve many people own or have a sick pet is recommended as occupational therapy.

If we have opportunity, the best is always a vacation in our pets. However, this is not always possible, so we have to find a friend or family member to care for them. If neither is available, we must find a residence where a pet is our care until we return.

This is something I do not like to pet owners, especially if it’s the first time. The possibility that your dog or cat to pass bad or not well maintained is a concern. However, all these fears disappear if we choose the best home for our partner.

The first thing we do is ask family and friends if they know any residence, as having a direct reference is always a guarantee. If you do not know any, it is best to visit various sites to find one that will convince us.

Today we present the Bichon Maltese dog, which looks like porcelain with the naked eye, very intelligent, intuitive and seems to be part of the aristocracy. It is the ideal partner, small, sweet and obedient to its owner. They are usually nervous dogs need toys to bite and like most, are very fast, beautiful and strong hair.

Their average weight is 140gr at birth and in adulthood between 2kg and 3kg. The head is of medium length and in proportion to its body, its ears are on top of the head but hang down and are covered with a generous amount of hair. His eyes are dark and round like the nose, which is very thin and narrow at the end. The neck is long enough so that seems to have his head high. The Bichon Maltese is compact and level back.

One of the hallmarks of this breed is the layer of “silk” smooth white covering her from the top of the head to foot, falling on both sides of his body literally to the ground, along with a long tail that leads gracefully into her back.

When we are thinking about buying a puppy Bichon Maltese, we must ensure that a puppy is friendly and outgoing personality, who has straight hair, looks soft, fragile, across a whole is pure white and is well pigmented.

Puppies are growing very rapidly and normally reach their maximum size around eight months into adults. The only drawback that I can bring to this race, is the care of their hair as a puppy over to adult we had to get used to daily brushing her hair to be born strong, avoid dirt and uncomfortable knots for that long hair can look so fabulous.

Pets are loved learning from an early age and need to start your training, just as in humans learning begins in the family, in this case within the litter and the mother is responsible for supplying the first knowledge to survive.

In such lessons must be added the effort of the puppy owners to learn habits and good habits, such as: where is the bathroom, what times are meals, playtime, how to behave when removed to walk or how to deal with a stranger, among other things.

Are very common now reports that a dog attacks a person, this type of behavior are generated because of an early separation from the mother, since she is the first to teach the concepts of bite inhibition, so it is important that the puppy remains in the litter at least 8 weeks after birth.

All dogs have the need to bite, usually for a position in the pack, is a normal behavior that is present from birth, at which time is viewed as games between brothers and the mother who is responsible for intervening when these games Tone up, sometimes by a grunt or a small flash of teeth, an action that should not be interpreted as aggressive. It’s like when you scold a child in a high pitch for making mischief.

If the puppy has been with his mother the time we, as owners, we must not neglect the training must continue. For example, some measures we take are:

Do not allow the dog to bite us or fingers of it, in case you do have to stop play and nagging. You have to understand that if we let the puppy bite us we’ll be saying that he is a level above us in the pack and lose their respect.

Do not we go so far as to punish him because he can interpret it as a game, in this case must be on the lookout for children who do not understand dog behavior and continue the game despite the attitudes of dog bite. In these situations it is preferable to stop play and give a toy dog.

Another point is to let our dog interact with other dogs.

Also need to advise on the breed and its characteristics, remember that just as people do not all dogs are alike, each race has distinct personality traits.

When we choose to adopt a dog as the mascot of the home we have a dilemma: choosing the sex. It is not the same as having a male or female, since the behavior is very different. Usually associated with male dog as a better protector of the territory in which they live, but the dog is more protective of people in the house.

An important point to consider is the time of heat. Both male and female have a very peculiar behavior at the time, and must take certain precautions because they are capable of breaking everything in its path to escape.

A point in favor of the dog is behaving more hygienic than any dog at the time of their needs, and also tends to be much more sociable with people coming home. Usually the male is usually more suspicious and has a hard time adapting to those outside the family.

And has been the heat and the beaches are a temptation, but a family member who is not so easy to enjoy the sun and water. First you have to go find out what beaches allow pets, to schedule and all existing. Some beaches do not permit.

In other beaches you can take your pets if they are tied at all times. When you have found a beach that can compete with the dogs, think that just as the sun affects people, it also affects them.

The first is to visit the vet, to advise that special care should be taken with that dog. We must protect them from sun, sunscreen, and sunglasses for dogs. Also umbrella, a mat, that is not directly on the hot sand, often with unpleasant things.

For the dogs they should put anti- flea collar to go to the beach, as many times in the arena there are many fleas. This collar can not get wet, because wet has no effect. The dog should have fresh water available to them, stay well hydrated, do not drink salt water.

A pet must be cared for as a child care because they can hurt a can, a glass or a hook that can be hidden in the sand. On the beach, the hijackers never missing pets, both for ransom, or to sell them later.

If you have a dog that has had puppies, is of vital importance during the first days of life is in contact with the mother and siblings. This is not only food, but also must learn to play their role within the family. The first weeks may seem chaotic, but it is a very important moment.

In the early days the puppy understands what their role in the pack and is related to both his mother and the brothers. In addition, puppies are usually very sensitive and need their parent is with them to guide them and provide the love necessary. It is very important not to remove the newborn cub of his mother, to avoid problems.

The mother is very protective of their offspring during the first weeks, and for this reason it is necessary to take the necessary precautions to be together due time. It should also be aware that not all the time must be above the babies because they will nerve, and the mother may also be aggressive.

A dog is usually happy and are very happy home. But what happens when a puppy is not sociable, how we can improve the sociability of pet?

The onset of canine socialization occurs at the end of their days of lactation and that while it is fed by the mother only shared with her ​​or her siblings. After ending the period of lactation (between the third and fourth week of life), that we must begin with the stages of canine sociability.

- In the first four weeks of life. Socialize with their mother and siblings.

- One month. Begins to engage with the group of puppies, and is determined to alpha.

- A month and a half. The puppy will begin to explore their sexuality and perform acts of smell with other puppies.

- From two months. Learn everything you teach, including the bathroom, you will need to cherish and it’s time to get used to people visiting relatives. It is ideal also carry other houses, take him out and let you know the sounds of the streets that could identify and differentiates adults from children.
