Hair Loss On Puppies
Belgian Shepherd puppy and dog
The Belgian Shepherd is a beautiful, mostly black longhaired dog that needs daily brushing. She is very intelligent and makes a great watch dog. She is good with children, but does not like rough play. As a reminder, never leave a child unsupervised with a puppy or dog for any period of time. She needs lots of exercise and a properly fenced in the backyard is a must. She may do well with other pets, especially if they have been socialized with them at an early age.
* Approximate size of adults. The approximate adult size (two years or more) of the Belgian Sheepdog males is 24 to 26 inches tall at the withers (the highest point of the shoulder) and 65 to 75 pounds. The women range from 22 to 24 inches at the withers and 60 to 70 pounds. * Special Health Considerations. All races dog have certain inherited health problems associated with that specific breed and the Belgian Shepherd is no exception. Be alert for epilepsy (common in dogs), eye problems, canine hip dysplasia (genetic based looseness in the hip joint that can lead to arthritis pain and lameness) and excessive shyness. * Preparation. The Belgian sheepdog has a long, straight hair with low coat. It should be brushed daily. She is a heavy shedder and brushing will help keep your home more shed hair. Brushing will help her maintain a clean and healthy coat and also help keep a closer eye on her health and strengthen your bond with your pet. Their teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar that can cause cavities (rarely) and periodontal disease. Dog periodontal disease can cause pain, tooth loss, bad breath and other serious disease. nails feet may need to be examined for growth and clipped regularly. The toenails of the rear feet grow slower than the toenails of the feet front. Generally a guillotine type Trimmer is best for this chore and competent instructions to accomplish this can be found on the web. * Life. The dog may live between 13 and 14 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions. * History. The Belgian sheepdog has developed around the year 1885 in Groenendaal, Belgium, a guardian and protector of the sheep of his master and his possessions.
