German Shepherd (details introduction)
In addition to the close relationship with our usual breeding situation, the characteristics of the dog's growth are also a critical factor. Under normal circumstances, large dogs grow faster at their childhood, and the growth rate will decrease until it is formed until the growth rate. Many owners are very concerned about the growth rate of their dogs, but we should treat it correctly for this problem, because it does not mean that the faster the dog grows, the better. There are many problems in the growth process. Essence
In many cases, it is not that the faster the dog grows, the healthier they are. On the contrary, too fast growth may also bring a certain negative impact on them. The rapid growth of puppies has been proven to have many huge impacts and severe visual diseases such as dysplasia of hip and elbow, hip developmental dysplasia disease This is why many large dogs have genetic diseases of some skeletal. Therefore, in order to allow puppies to develop during this period, the development of bones and joints should be as healthy as possible, but we should slightly delay the growth rate of dogs.
The fast -growing puppies will be more likely to suffer from soft tissue during the play and exercise exercise. In addition, there are some evidence here that the heavier puppies in the same age will increase the risk of developing cancer in the future. However, reducing growth rate will cause puppies to be shorter than puppies that grow faster in the same age, and the appearance is slower. Of course, they still grow to their original body shape through very slowly, but they only grow to that extent than ordinary dogs. However, the benefits brought by it are obvious. Their growth curve will be smoother and smooth, avoiding steep lines and unnatural acceleration.
Dogs are too nutritious
In addition to variety differences, diet is also one of the key factors affecting growth speed. For puppies, we usually choose some foods in high -nutrition and high calories to meet their rapid growth needs. In fact, this method is not completely correct. Because relatively slow and stable growth is more suitable for dogs, and they can also avoid many negative effects caused by too fast growth. An ideal dog body structure should be lean meat and strong muscles.
Many racing -level puppies are particularly easy to be in danger of excessive nutrition, because their holders are often eager to make their bones, heads, fur, and body development into mature and competitive dogs. Indeed, excessive feeding can indeed make these puppies temporarily more than their slim opponents in the above aspects, but some potential harm to health will be retained on them.
It can be seen that we have to re -examine the rapid growth of dogs. At the appropriate time, we can let the dog's growth slower, try to make their bones grow and develop completely, and avoid skeletal development due to excessive growth. completely. While feeding, it is also necessary to ensure the amount of exercise of the dog. This will not only make the dog's bones and muscles stronger, but also promote the absorption of nutrients and improve the dog's physique. Although they need to spend more time to grow to the normal body shape, they can lay a better foundation for growth.
