Breeding

Ilovezoe1@purebredpups.org (Ilovezoe1) — Sun, 09 Sep 2012 22:35:06 GMT

I am thinking of breeding my two girls in the next year as my dad is getting a male chihuahua. I have got potential homes for all the pups that are not even here yet. I want to know if anyone has any tips or advice for me. I do only plan on letting each girl have only one litter as all the dogs will get fixed after. I will only breed them if the male is of good health and a small size to.

Groomer

tmparker171@purebredpups.org (tmparker171) — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 02:31:30 GMT

I take my dog to a great Groomer name Tom in Indy, at A-Pamper-Pet. on West Washington St. He cares for your pet looks and health, Tom is very particular about his grooming and ensure you are happy before you leave. He gives great advice and help you care for your pet while at home,.The cost is not to expensive and he offers other products for continuious care until you return for the next appointment. I would refer this Master Groomer to all pet owners looking for a groomer or just not happy with their current groomer here in Indy.

Hello from ruby

PuppyMax@purebredpups.org (PuppyMax) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 00:12:38 GMT

Ruby has been taking royal canin for mini schnauzers. The brand makes a large variety of breed specific kibble. Ruby loves the taste of hers, she was a very finicky eater as a baby. She was eating puppy food reluctantly and very little of it until she was old enough to switch. The vet always sAys she is extremely healthy, so I think I will keep her on the food.

Deadly Chocolates

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:19:24 GMT

I suggest you put your chocolates away from your dogs. This sweet but deadly thing is toxic to dogs. My friend's dog died because of too much chocolate ingestion.

Raw food?

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:18:01 GMT

Do you recommend raw food for American Staffordshire terrier dog? If yes, what raw food do you recommend?

Any books?

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:12:47 GMT

Do you know any good books about dogs? I will really appreciate it especially when it's about American Staffordshire terrier.

REINFORCEMENT

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:11:35 GMT

I recommend reinforcement techniques if you want your dog to learn. This is what I used to teach my American Staffordshire terrier dog many tricks. It is done by giving him rewards after doing a trick.

Dental Care..

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:08:21 GMT

What brand of dog toothpaste is great for dogs? Can we not use adult toothpaste for dogs' teeth? I used human toothpaste for my american eskimo dog.

Should be a must...

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 00:07:21 GMT

Dental care should be a part of dogs' care all the time. Many owners neglect this which can lead to poor dental hygiene leading to weak teeth. It plays a great part in my american eskimo care. :)

Reply: I agree, it should be part of American Staffordshire terrier training as well with other dog breeds. :) We should never neglect dental care.

Raised bowls = bloated....

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:58:08 GMT

Raised bowls are dangerous especially to large breed dogs. It increases the chance of bloat by about 110%. That's why feeding your dog on the ground with a bowl is good except for those with drinking problems. I address this to every dog owners out there especially american eskimo dogs owners.

Reply: I also heard this from a friend of mine. What will you do if your dog is having bloat?

Don't let your dog lead you

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:46:02 GMT

Don't let your dog lead you while walking. This will make it think that it's more superior to the owner. This is a common mistake of dog owners.

REINFORCEMENT

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:44:06 GMT

Positive Reinforcement is a great way to help your dogs learn tricks faster. This is done by rewarding a dog in every good act that they do. It is a usual part of American Staffordshire terrier training.

Vinegar for any odor.

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:42:21 GMT

If your dog pee and poop in your carpet, I suggest you use vinegar in removing the odor they emit. This is a big problem to owners but it can be simply removed by vinegar.

Pumpkin treatment

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:39:54 GMT

I recommend feed your dogs with pumpkin if they are having diarrhea. This is a natural and effective way in treating diarrhea before using other medications.

Any books?

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:37:15 GMT

Do you know any books about American Staffordshire terrier? I love to read books about this breed because I fell in love with it.

How is your Staffie?

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:36:01 GMT

How is your Staffie doing? I really want to learn more about American Staffordshire terrier dog's uniqueness. :)

Deadly Chocolates

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:34:13 GMT

Chocolates should not be kept in reach to our dogs. Not only that they will eat our chocolates but they can also die because of it. Chocolates have toxins that can ruin the dog's respiratory system and they would die eventually after ingesting it.

Oatmeal soap

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 23:32:28 GMT

I recommend you use oatmeal soap on your American Staffordshire terrier. This natural and wonderful soap will surely keep the skin and fur healthy.

About my AmStaff

AmyANDNicole@purebredpups.org (AmyANDNicole) — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 16:38:40 GMT

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and I have adopted an american staffordshire terrier dog named Amy last year.

I got her from a rescue site and I feel like an angle for saving her life. Good thing I was able to come earlier as she is on the list of dogs who will be put to sleep in a week's time.

Hooray to all of us dog lovers and saviors! Looking forward to learning more about american staffordshire terrier care.
