iv got a jack russell shes after having 2 pups there now 7 wks old i think she might have some milk left in her as shes not totall dried up what should i do

Take her to the vets and have her spayed. Please make sure all her pups are neutered too. Do you realise how many Jack Russells end up in rescue? please don't add to the crisis of homeless dogs being killed!

She is 11 weeks, 12 on saturday. And is nice natured bu chews like all puppies.

I was taught this by a prison dog handler.
No1 you do not see dog crap on the prison wing.
No2 So i have been told
every time your dog does either, outside, praise is the main thing, but also say good boy/girl empty and keep saying empty to your dog every time.
soon you will tell the dog to empty and he will, both my dogs do it on command,
If its raining its very helpful or even late at night when you want to go to bed,
This really does work well, when he eats watch how long on average it takes for him to want to go.
then feed him at set times, and you know in so many hours he will want to go, the very 1st time he empties on command give lots of praise and dance around and make a fool of yourself.
If he has eaten and only goes for a pee, send him back with the words empty and he will soon know he has to do both.
good luck

It's brown, fox coloured, and is male.

I generally wait a while to understand the dog's temperament before naming as names and personality misfits are quite painful for the owners:) My friends had a Daschhound and they named him Tiger!!!!

Anyways, here are a few names: Milo, Cookie, Jonty, Foxtrot.

Good luck with the new pup and have oodles of fun! I have a mongrel and he is named "Caio Fabio Varela"

My daughter drew a picture of a skeleton man in school and she left it on chair whilst she went to bed, my pup (5 months) starts growling and barking first couldn't figure out what she was barking at, then I moved the picture and she was like kitty the hare, hiding… lol

Is this normal?
She's good Kev, lol

how are you????
lol… thanks Plato, we do that too, she's soooo funny
Psychotic is not the word lol they are full of life- sweet little dogs-she's probably scared until she know's what it is lol- my friend has a Jack Russell called Nellie!!! she loves nothing better than tearing her soft toys to shreds! we often have a game of tug-of- war lol INellie keeps getting phantom pregancies so has to wear a big collar to stop her pulling at herself lol! It goes away. Sandy will calm down when she's a little older.

I know some breeds you should keep them on puppy food for 2 years and some for just a few months. My Jack is 7 months and Im wondering when is the best time to make the transition to adult food? Is he old enough now to eat adult dog food? He is neutered and current on all shots.

p.s. — I know a popular reponse will be to "ask my vet" but I am in the process of moving and dont have a regular vet at the moment.

The standard is closer to 12 months for small breed dogs, unless he is on something like Canidae All Life Stages.

He is still growing and developing, even though he won't get much taller than he currently is. Try to keep him on puppy food for a few more months.

Add: please also note - puppy food has more calcium than adult food - it's not just about weight gain/loss

This happened about 6 hours ago, the pup initially was squealing till I cuddled her and calmed her down. I have checked for breaks, seems like the hip may be out of socket? Slight swelling under the back leg, she won’t put weight on it, but can move it. Was shaking, grimacing, whimpering. I gave her a tiny piece of Vetalog to help ease the pain, she has stopped shaking and is resting in my arms, could this just be a sprain? How long would a sprain take to show improvement?

Well sure it could be a sprain, it could also be a break, it could also be a hip out of socket. Why are you guessing and asking strangers when it is clear the dog is in pain and needs a Vet ASAP

Well
we want to breed out jack russell terrier
we have about 8-10 people that said they would like one of her puppies if she ever has some
we know all these people would be responsible dog owners and be good to the puppies

how many puppies do they usually have in their first litter?
WOuld there be more puppies than we have homes????
Oh yes her mom and 1 litter and there were only 2 pups. We would like her to have only like 2 or so becuase then only the most serious and dedicated people would ask for one.

I assume you are asking how to be a responsible breeder.

1. Contact a breed club for your breed. Ask for a mentor.
2. STUDY the breed standard. Learn about dog anatomy and ask your mentor to
clarify anything you don't understand.
3. Learn what genetic faults and diseases run in your breed and test for any
that can be tested for.
4. Show your dog in conformation events to see if it is of the proper
quality for breeding. Winning doesn't always mean a dog is breeding quality,
but being around so many others that know your breed and will talk to you
will do wonders for your self-education efforts!
5. Study the past history of great dogs in your breed. You will see how your
breed has improved and progressed since the beginning of the breed.
6. Study the breed standard some more!
7. Join any Yahoo groups about your breed.
8. Live, dream and study your breed.
9. Get a good book on canine reproduction, and educate yourself about the
pitfalls, problems, and proud moments of breeding. Learn about the
physiology of reproduction, such as heat cycles and venereal diseases in
dogs, potential for problems specific to your breed, and what you need to
expect at whelping.
10. Remember that whelping (giving birth) can kill your female. Being used
as a stud dog can encourage bad behaviors common in intact males such as
territorial marking, aggression, and desire to roam from home.
11. Prepare to be broke. Breeding properly is EXPENSIVE.
12. Line up potential homes for any puppies you produce and write up a
contract. Remember to include that you will be willing to take back your
puppies at any time in their lives that they might need you. If you bring
life into this world, it is your responsibility FOREVER.
13. Prepare to spend sleepless nights attending whelping females, caring for
fading puppies or puppies orphaned, and practice cleaning up after 24/7 poop
machines.

I'm sure there are many things I missed because being a responsible breeder
isn't just a job. It's a way of life. You will live dogs. 24/7/365. There
are lots of hard decisions. There is a lot of expense. There will be pain.
But, if you do your darndest to always keep the welfare of your dogs and the
future of any of their offspring, you can go to step 14.

14. Enjoy the love and success of a job well done.

23 months… she should probably be coming up on her 4 heat… should be fine to breed her… just make sure the male dog is of the same or similar sized breed…

Good luck!!!
