How to raise Tibetan mastiff?

Although Tibetan mastiff is an ancient dog breed, only Tibetans know it, but most people don't know it. The following are simple answers to some questions that dog lovers have encountered, heard and mentioned in recent years:

1. The long-haired lion Tibetan mastiff is purebred tibetan mastiff, but the short-haired one isn't? Tibetan mastiffs are divided into long hair and short hair, and their genes are the same. As long as it meets the standard of Tibetan mastiff breed, it is purebred tibetan mastiff. In addition, their ferocity is not based on long hair and short hair.

2. Can a lion mate with a dog to give birth to a Tibetan mastiff? The person who put forward this statement doesn't know anything about animal taxonomy, and he doesn't know anything about it. Lions and dogs are not animals. Lions are cats and dogs are canines. Not only can they be infertile, but they can't mate. Besides, Tibetan mastiffs are produced in Tibet, and there are no lions in Tibet and China. Lions are imported animals, which are mainly produced in Africa.

3. Does Tibetan mastiff feed raw meat? Wrong. Although Tibetan mastiffs are carnivores and prefer meat, they have adapted to omnivores after long-term domestication. If you only feed raw meat, over time, intestinal digestion will go wrong and you will easily get parasitic diseases; In addition, a single raw meat is bound to lack other nutrients, poor physical condition, weak ability to reach Hangzhou, and can not grow and develop normally.

Is purebred tibetan mastiff's head as big as a washbasin? Iron-clad gold is just one of the coat colors, which are varied and belong to Tibetan mastiff. Tibetan mastiff's head is bigger than other dogs, with long decorative hair, especially as big as a washbasin, which is actually not as big as people exaggerate.

5. Is it sick for Tibetan mastiff to lie down and sleep too lazy to move during the day?

Canines generally come from Nocturnal Animals. Although Tibetan mastiffs have been domesticated for thousands of years, they still maintain the habits of their ancestors, resting during the day and attacking their prey at night. Although it sleeps during the day, it maintains a high degree of vigilance. As soon as there is danger, it attacks immediately, which is extremely fierce.

Tibetan mastiff is not as lively as other dogs, which is its habit. Adding the word "ao" to the word "dog" shows that it does not want to be bound by the outside world. It is arrogant, resolute and indifferent, but it is calm, impatient and frivolous. As long as it doesn't have a fever, its eyes are bright, its appetite is normal, and it is energetic in the morning and evening, it is not sick.

6. Is the Tibetan lion a Tibetan mastiff? No, in the pastoral area of Qinghai-Tibet, there is a kind of fur, with a total length of 10~20cm, a face of fur, medium size, black, white, yellow, hemp ash and other colors. Tibetans call it "Tibetan lion", that is, "Tibetan dog". The mainland calls it the "Tibetan poodle", which is not a breed of Tibetan mastiff. It is wrong to think that Tibetan mastiff is wrong.

7. Why do young mastiffs like licking iron? The young mastiff obviously lacks calcium and iron in the early stage, so it should be supplemented with calcium.

8. Will a pregnant Tibetan mastiff have a miscarriage after eating chicken? This is not correct. According to scientific tests, there are no chemical components and substances in chicken, and there is no scientific basis. It is best not to feed chicken bones to dogs, because bird bones are hollow. When a dog eats, it swallows it in one gulp. Chicken bones are fragile and easily pierce the stomach and internal organs in the stomach.

9. The Tibetan mastiff is over 1m in height and its legs are as thick as bowls? The height of an animal is the height from the scapula to the forelimbs, not the height of the fingers. The shoulder height of most Tibetan mastiffs is 65~75cm, and 80cm is very rare.

Tibetan mastiff is a giant dog with thick legs but definitely not as thick as a bowl. This is an exaggeration, which shows that many people don't understand Tibetan mastiff. If we introduce the characteristics of Tibetan mastiff to more people and let them understand, they will not say such layman's words, and they will be less joking.

10. Can Tibetan mastiffs be shaped only when they are 2-3 years old? Because Tibetan mastiff belongs to a large cold dog breed, its development, growth and maturity are a little later than other dog breeds, and its face, mouth and haggard figure are completely mature and stereotyped, which takes 2 years to complete. This is correct.

1 1. Why are some large dogs in the world very similar to Tibetan mastiffs in China? Swiss Saint Bernard, British Mastiff, Italian Napoli Mastiff, Mastiff (also known as Napoli Mastiff), Lowe, Germany, Great White Bear, Newfoundland, Germany, Zhuangsil, Brazil, Rilo, Poland, etc. China Tibetan Mastiff is the male parent. Therefore, it is appropriate to say that China Tibetan Mastiff is the father and king of large dogs in the world.

12. Which floor is the kennel? Tibetan mastiffs spend most of their rest and life in kennels. If the original land is used as a shelter, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is beneficial to the health of dogs, but the disadvantage is that it is not easy to wash. Using cement floor, because it is isolated from the temperature of ground air, it will affect the rise of ground air, and the ground will be hot in summer and cold in winter, which is not conducive to the health of dogs, but the advantage is that it is easy to wash. Therefore, it is beneficial to the health of dogs to advocate the use of bricks inside and outside the house and sand between bricks.

13. Why do Tibetan mastiffs look good when they are young and ugly when they are 3~5 months old? Two months ago, the little Tibetan mastiff was still very fat, looking dignified and strong, as fat as a bear, just like their parents. After 2 months of age, with the growth and development, weaning and breast fat gradually receded, and the body shape also changed. The body is longer, the legs are thinner, the feet are smaller and the mouth is longer. Therefore, this growth stage is the ugliest time for Tibetan mastiffs.

However, we must understand that as long as mom and dad are purebred, as long as the dogs in the rear are properly raised and managed, they will become better and better, stronger and more magnificent when they grow to 8 months. He must be a fine and pure Tibetan mastiff when he grows up.

14. Is it better to keep Tibetan mastiff as a male dog or a female dog? It depends on what the purpose of raising Tibetan mastiff is. For example, in order to protect the homeland, show the majestic posture of Tibetan mastiff, and show its elegance and pride, you should have a male dog. The public Tibetan prize is huge and fierce. It has a big head, long hair, resolute, brave and steady personality, and has the temperament of a king. It is a symbol of the strong, that is, it is as strong as a lion, as strong as an ox and as fierce as a tiger.

If you want to breed or have economic benefits, keep a bitch. The female Tibetan mastiff is docile and intelligent, but her head, face, length and hair decoration are not as good as those of the male Tibetan mastiff.

15. Why do some young mastiffs like to eat mud, bricks and cinders? Young mastiffs grow and develop rapidly, and their bodies need all kinds of nutrition. If the puppy's diet is single in nutrition and lacks some trace elements, minerals and vitamins, it may lead to slow growth and dull hair. In order to get the required nutrition, it may chew soil, cinder and other heterosexuals. Some puppies are ectopic behaviors caused by parasitic diseases, intestinal dyspepsia, pancreas and other diseases.

16. Can the newly bought Tibetan mastiff be kept with the original dog? The health status, epidemic prevention and whether there are infectious diseases in the path of adults and puppies that have just been bought back and shipped back are not clear, and they can't be reflected in a few days, so they can't be placed in a group with the original healthy dogs. According to the regulations, new dogs can only be raised collectively after 45 days of isolation.

17. Can Tibetan mastiffs be vaccinated for diarrhea? For the newly arrived Tibetan mastiff, he has not adapted to the new environment, water, soil and food, and the dog's constitution is in recovery, so he can't be vaccinated. It must be observed for half a month, and when the new dog is really okay, it can be vaccinated. Dogs with diarrhea and diseases are not allowed to be vaccinated. Because the dog's resistance to disease is reduced, and the vaccine itself is a kind of poisonous bacteria, this will make the dog's condition worse, only the disadvantages are not good, so it is not surprising that sometimes the dog dies after vaccination. Vaccines can prevent several diseases and cannot treat sick dogs, so dogs with diarrhea, fever and unhealed surgical wounds are not allowed to be immunized.

18. How to deal with subcutaneous abscess and ulceration of Tibetan mastiff after injection? When injecting a dog, the air bubbles in the needle tube should be discharged first. However, due to improper operation, there may be skin perforation, intradermal congestion or too deep acupuncture site, expired drugs, poor disinfection of needle with bacteria, unclean disinfection of skin surface, etc., leading to bacteria invading the human body, swelling, inflammation, suppuration, rot and other symptoms at pinhole. Seeing this, wipe the wound with iodine cotton ball, then squeeze out pus with tweezers, then wipe it with hydrogen peroxide cotton ball, because medical cotton ball can be wiped clean, and then give the dog some antibiotics. Repeat this several times and you will soon recover.

19. Why do Tibetan mastiffs prefer beef and mutton to pork? Tibetan mastiffs have lived in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau for thousands of years, herding cattle and sheep with herders, and eating mostly cattle, mutton and internal organs. Over the years, they have adapted to the tastes of beef, mutton and low-fat meat. This eating habit makes Tibetan mastiffs prefer beef and mutton and have a weak appetite for pork.

20. Sometimes it is found that Tibetan mastiffs suddenly spit out gastric juice (yellow water) or vomit after eating food. What happened?

Dogs occasionally vomit. If you can't think that the dog is sick, you can feed the dog or inject antiemetic and anti-inflammatory drugs at will. Therefore, the drug must be given after the diagnosis, otherwise the disease will not heal and new diseases will appear.

Some healthy dogs, if the feeding time is advanced or delayed, or they exercise vigorously after eating, or eat grass, wood or leaves, eat or smell spicy food that is too thick by mistake, or swallow foreign bodies such as plastic and cloth, or have indigestion in the stomach and stomach and hyperacidity, will have symptoms such as vomiting yellow leaves and undigested food.

Some bitches will react after pregnancy; Male dogs that breed just after eating; Bitches will vomit when they feed their puppies just after eating, or overeating, spicy and bitter food with irritants will also vomit. For dogs that occasionally vomit, as long as their body temperature is normal, they are energetic and have no abnormal reaction, they are not sick and do not need medication. As long as you pay a little attention to the feeding time and food; If you have indigestion, add digestive medicine when feeding.

How to train Tibetan mastiff

Without education and intensive reading, people can't stand on the society, can't become useful talents in society, and may also bring harm to society. Dogs can't be better integrated into human society without training, and can't play their due role, which has become an unstable factor for society and dog-raising families. It has been reported in the news recently that vicious dogs hurt people, ranging from minor injuries to life-threatening. Tragedy also caused people's panic and prejudice against large dogs, and the dog that caused the accident was born to die. But people seldom see the essence of the problem. In fact, the bad consequences of "the son is not the fault of the godfather and the dog is not the fault of the leader" are largely caused by the owner's failure to strengthen the education and management of his dog on weekdays. Whether it's injury or the misconception that keeping a dog is harmful to the environment and health. These accusations are "unfair, false and wrong".

Tibetan mastiff, a large-scale ancient dog breed from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, has been recognized by people for its excellent characteristics of being brave, loyal to its owner and protecting its territory, but it also has unpredictable and hurricane-like personality and behavior characteristics. With the emergence of "Tibetan mastiff fever" in recent years, this mysterious giant from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has slowly entered our lives. Many of them came to cities from the countryside. However, whether this generation of ancient fierce dogs living on the remote and vast plateau can adapt to the modern civilized social environment and retain their original brave character has also become a topic that many friends who like Tibetan mastiff often argue and pay attention to. With the development of Tibetan mastiff, a "phenomenon" and a "culture" have gradually formed. The rise of Tibetan mastiff culture has also attracted the attention of China government. In order to protect the development of Tibetan mastiff, the relevant standards of dog breeds were issued, and its initial function was defined as "working dog breeds". In a real sense, the Ministry of Public Security has also initiated the training and research of China native dogs as police dogs for the first time. This has irreplaceable and far-reaching significance for the future development of Tibetan mastiff.

Training articles

Hurricane is unstable and unpredictable, just like good and evil, it has amazing destructive power. Under the temptation of this huge energy, people are thinking, "Can I control this wild and unknown power before the storm warning?" ...

First, the puppy psychological personality behavior characteristics test

Man on earth, Good at birth. The same nature varies from upbringing to upbringing. The puppy's innate character plays a certain role in the future training effect. It's hard to predict what happens to puppies when they grow up. Therefore, choosing a dog that suits you may be as pure luck as gambling. So some people will simply choose famous dogs to raise, but dragons have nine sons, and they are different, so it is difficult to choose dogs (the choice of puppies mentioned here is not what we usually say about the selection of the appearance quality of Tibetan mastiffs, but refers to the targeted selection of puppies suitable for training according to the puppy's personality). But it's hard to decide how to choose. Some people just want to pick one at random. What will happen?

When we see a litter of puppies, if we find that they look roughly the same, of course, the guy who automatically comes over and shakes his head and licks his feet is our favorite. But if you choose, you may find it difficult to wear it in the future, which will make you feel at a loss when you first get a dog. On the contrary, the shy ghost who hides behind at first may be a good companion for those who value a quiet life, although most of them are disliked. In addition, time also affects the choice of puppies. For example, after a full meal, the strongest often eat the most, and naturally feel sleepy after eating, ignoring you; On the contrary, it is often the meek little guy who comes out to give a warm welcome, but he can't beat others and can't eat enough. In order to train better, we should grasp the personality characteristics of puppies as accurately as possible, so as to carry out targeted training methods according to their characteristics. Let's take a look at some experience of dog personality test summarized by foreign dog trainers.

Six behavioral tests

Experienced breeders can observe the behavior of puppies when they are only a few months old and evaluate their general character, but this is not an objective standard test, which is suitable for all dogs, or for everyone's reference. Based on years of research results, a group of British experts designed a set of "puppy test" method, which was applied to seven-week-old puppies and proved to be very effective. It can be used as a more objective reference, perhaps in the future. The exam lasts half an hour. The way is to take the puppy to a strange and quiet place where no one will be distracted when it is most active. The test includes 1 1 items, and the score of each item ranges from 1 to 6:

First of all, the social ability tester kneels a distance in front of the puppy and calls the puppy over. If the puppy's tail is strong and straight, it must be a confident and sociable dog; As for dogs with independent personality, it may not matter; Timid puppies may come, but they will hesitate and hang their tails.

Second, follow the tester to stand up and walk slowly to attract the puppy to follow him, and the confident puppy will follow him actively; The strong will run forward or fall; Timid people will hesitate but stop, while independent people will go elsewhere.

Third, suppress the puppy from falling to the ground, press its chest with one hand, restrict its movement with a little force, and stare at its eyes for half a minute. At this time, the tough ones will struggle hard, and their eyes will not show fear. Timid people will give in and their eyes will wander. This exam is extremely important. The toughest puppies are only suitable for experienced people.

Fourth, after the suppression test is completed, immediately put the puppy in front of you, gently touch its whole body, talk to it gently, let it lick the tester's face, and then bend down. It is more difficult to train a dog that has not forgotten to be suppressed just now.

Fifth, raise your arms and hold the puppy on your chest and stand for half a minute; The purpose is to test how it responds in an uncontrollable environment. If you can relax a puppy in your arms, it will be easier to adapt to a strange environment when you grow up. On the contrary, struggling puppies will be unwilling to accept human domination when they grow up.

Six, find a piece of paper and roll it into a paper ball and throw it in front of the puppy. Usually, its response will be:

(1) ran to the paper ball, picked it up and walked back with the encouragement of the tester. This will be a good dog that is easy to train. (2) Dogs are not interested in paper balls or even walk away, and their training level is low. (3) Holding a paper ball and going to the corner to bite and play alone, this independent dog needs an experienced trainer in the future. This test is of course very important for choosing working dogs, and it is also very useful for testing whether it is useful to humans.

Sensory test

First, touch.

Pinch the webbed skin between the middle toes of the puppy's front foot with your thumb and forefinger, and count from one to ten in your mouth, and gradually increase the strength of your fingers accordingly; If the puppy has struggled hard at first, it will be overly sensitive to the head circle, restraint and training in the future; Dogs struggling at the highest intensity need tough trainers.

Second, listening.

Before hiding in a corner, make a loud noise with a sounding instrument-usually a metal cover or something. After making a sound, the puppy will be frightened and panicked. If it doesn't respond, it should be taken to the vet immediately to check if it is deaf. If the puppy can recover quickly and investigate the source of the sound, it is a dog with excellent grid sensitivity. Dogs with lingering fear and distant sound sources may not be suitable for noisy families.

Third, vision.

Choose to wave some cloth strips in front of the puppy, and the confident puppy will quietly study what this is; Brave people will try to bite it; As for cowards, they have gone into hiding.

The last two scores are based on the stability and vitality of the puppy and its performance in the above tests. The score of each item is from one to six, and the strongest one gets one point. On the contrary, the most cowardly person got six points.

If the puppy gets a point in every exam, of course it is very few. It is very dominant and even aggressive, so it is not an ideal family pet dog. The puppies with the highest score of two points in each center have the same Luo Qiang advantage, but with proper training, they can become excellent companions and excellent working dogs. The dog with the most three points is lively and outgoing, and must be an excellent dog who obeys training. It is most suitable for first-time dog owners, but the puppy with the highest score of four points is very happy to get along with people, especially children, and is the best choice for family pet dogs. Puppies with the most five points are sensitive and lack self-confidence.

Second, judge the character of your dog.

Every dog has its own personality, judge the dog's personality and give flexibility education. 1. Excited dog This kind of dog is characterized by strong excitability and weak inhibition. Excitative conditioned reflex is fast and consolidated, while inhibitory conditioned reflex is slow and easy to disappear. Therefore, in the training, it is mainly to cultivate and exert its inhibition process, and not to rush headlong, so as not to cause adverse consequences. 2. Active dog This kind of dog is characterized by strong excitation and inhibition process, flexible conversion, and rapid formation of excitation and inhibition reflex in training. Improper training methods can easily lead to bad connections, so we should pay special attention to the means and adopt corresponding methods. 3. Quiet dog This kind of dog is characterized by strong excitement and inhibition, but poor transformation flexibility, and its inhibition process is relatively stronger than the excitement process. That is to say, in the process of training, the inhibitory conditioned reflex is rapidly formed and the formed reflex is consolidated. Therefore, in training, we should focus on training the flexibility of dogs and appropriately improve their excitement. 4. Passive defense reactive dog This kind of dog is characterized by passive defense when encountering something scared or scared, which affects training. For this kind of dog, when its owner (or dog trainer) approaches it, it should use gentle tone and brisk action to prevent it from being suddenly frightened, so that it will not dare to approach its owner (or dog trainer) for a long time, which will affect the establishment of affinity relationship. Second, when encountering something that dogs are afraid of, we should adopt the method of patient induction to gradually eliminate the passive state of dogs and make them adapt. 5. Explore dogs with strong reflexes (Tibetan mastiffs are not focused enough on passwords and are too lazy). This kind of dog is very sensitive to some new stimuli in its surroundings. After repeated contact, it still does not decrease, which is related to the poor flexibility and adaptability of dogs. To treat this kind of dog, we should pay more attention to environmental exercise and let it adapt gradually. Before each training, let the dog get familiar with the environment, try to choose a quiet training ground, and be free from external stimulation, temptation and interference. When exploratory reflex appears in training, the owner should try his best to attract the attention of the training object, and can also use compulsory means to appropriately restrain exploratory reflex. Dogs of this character, such as Tibetan mastiff, will use compulsory means to do training when the password effect is not good, but they usually don't cooperate, so the dog trainer can't rush to invest more patience. 6. Dogs with strong food response should give full play to their strengths and use food stimulation for training. Dogs with strong food reaction are easy to accept food from all directions, which affects the establishment of related subject movements. A well-trained oath dog or pet dog should refuse to eat food given by others and not pick up food anywhere. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the training of "prohibition" and let dogs develop good habits. 7. Fierce and aggressive dogs (most Tibetan mastiffs belong to this personality) This kind of dog is basically a highly excited dog. It is necessary to properly strengthen mechanical stimulation and exert its inhibitory process. In management training, we should be strict, strengthen attachment, obedience and biting training, and give full play to their strengths. But it is necessary to prevent people and animals from biting. For a few fierce and timid dogs, it is necessary to strengthen exercise, prevent excessive stimulation, and let dogs gradually become bold. -Besides, you may meet other types of dogs. The training principle for them is to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, skillfully use conditioned reflex and unconditional reflex stimulation, and gradually improve.
