Border Terrier (definite introduction)
When the Border Terrier grows from a puppy to about 8 months old, the female dog begins to have a psychological state. The vagina will bleed for more than ten days, and the vagina will swell and enter the ovulation period, which will last for about 5 days. This situation is called estrus.
Keeping knowledge
When female dogs are in estrus, it is best to keep them captive or tethered to Border Terriers to avoid getting close to male dogs. After 5 to 6 months, it is more appropriate to re-pair and give birth to the baby when it is in heat twice. If there is no plan to have offspring, uterine and ovarian removal surgery can be used.
Calcium supplementation for Border Terrier puppies is best from 2 months old to 6 months old. The dose and time can be determined according to the puppy’s development.
The life span of Border Terriers is generally 11 to 12 years. The life span of dogs is generally more than 10 years. However, if you pay more attention to the living environment and living conditions of dogs, the life span of dogs is probably about 14 to 15 years, and some can reach more than 20 years.
Border Terrier hair trimming
1. Manual trimming can leave some gaps between the hairs, and the tentacles can be trimmed into a round "otter head". However, if the skin condition is not good or the hair quality is not good, it is recommended not to use manual repair methods, which may cause skin inflammation.
2. It is not recommended to use electric clippers, because using electric clippers may push too deep and leave traces.
3. In order to make the hair on the whole body appear in a natural state, you can use thinning shears to trim the hair on the whole body.
4. The tentacles and eyebrow line should extend from the outer corner of the eye to the corner of the mouth.
5. If you use manual trimming, you can use thinning scissors to trim the area under the tail, around the feet and the buttocks muscles.
6. Before trimming the hair, in order to achieve a better beauty effect, it is best to give the Border Terrier a good bath before trimming.
