Behavioural
genetics is the field of biology that studies the role of
genetics in animal (including human) behaviour. The field
is an overlap of genetics, and psychology. Classically, behavioural
geneticists have studied the inheritance of behavioural traits.
Key Factors are biological variation, behavioral genetics,
intelligence, environmental contributions and individual variation.
WEEK ONE, TWO & THREE
At
the end of each week during the first three weeks, We give them each an olive oil treatment, this is just like baby oil, but more natural, for the skin and coat.
WEEK ONE
At
this time they are just feeling around and growing.
We give them stimuli about three times a day, by picking them
up, rubbing our face on them, petting their backs, this help
associate human smells with positive stimuli.
We also are talking to them, so they know human voices, this
will help them pick up commands when older.
WEEK
TWO
As
far as development, they are scooting around and beginning
to build there muscles, they lift the head and look towards
a sound.
We are now putting them on different textured blankets, this
stimulates the nerves in there feet and skin. To enhance balance,
and play. We also tickle them and scratch there butts, to
get a little more personal with them, to enhance a bonding
emotion in them young.
We
are also altering the lights, we had a soft light in the room,
for the development of the eyes, were now switching once a
day to an energy saver bulb, which isn't as hard a common
bulb, when there eyes open we wont use ether for three days
and just let some natural light flow in, then we will go to
soft bulb for a day then the energy saver bulb switch again
for at least a week. This well help them be able to focus
there eyes quicker. It also enhances night vision, and makes
the eyes with proper deit very healthy, long term.
WEEK
THREE & FOUR
At
this time we aren't focusing on the development,
we are only focusing on the socializing,
they have just opened there eyes, and we want the eyes as
there ajusting to see us, we give them tons of petting, and
rub our fingers around the cheeks to get them to play a bit
with us, there ears are opening too so we have started calling
them by name.
WEEK
FIVE
We
are socializing, and working with the eyes, getting them to
follow and look in different directions to strengthen the
eye muscles, we are also grooming them so they don't have
to look through the fur, the fur causes there eyes to be opposite
of cross eyed, our pups are corrected at this young age to
have normal looking and functioning eyes, PLEASE
keep there eyes groomed once you have them so our work
isn't for nothing.
Next Week we will be starting up the senses stimulus.
The Hair has just started to grow, and
the puppies have just started to play, they also have just
started to eat, we only give them smashed up beef stew at
this time so its like a thick liquid made from peas, carrots,
beef and water cooked overnight.
During this week we also bring in the litter box, We introduce the litter box this week then puppy pads around six weeks, However its still hit and miss, some get it right away, some don't by the time you bring them into your home, but we give you all the necessary information to ether pad, litter box, out door or leash train them, so when they come into your home you can finish what we have started.
Please note: The
eye exercises are not to clear a genetic defect from our lineages,
our lineages come from healthy dogs.
But are actually something I had come up with.
My sons had lazy or crossed eyes as babies, doctor Siegel
from pacific eye institute had shown me exercises to do with
them to correct this. When I volunteered at the human centers
before I even had these dogs I noticed the way furry dogs
had developed an opposite look to the crossed eyes. Due to
looking around there fur. This has developed over years and
years of breeding the fuzzier dogs in many breeds.
Well I didn't like it and thought if I kept the face groomed
and did the eye exercises dr Siegel showed me for my children
I could correct it. Come to find out not only dose it correct
it, but if you do it while they are young, they grow to have
gorgeous eyes, ( See
my photo page ).
Once you receive a puppy the exercises are no longer needed,
just keeping the face groomed.
WEEK
SIX
We
are Working on the floppytizing, working
on the eyes and
working with the senses, We give them different taste of safe
organic foods, such as honey, Banana Chips, beef broth, beef
soup paste (home made), and other foods, just a drop. This
well give them a strong gut able to also absourb a a variety
of nutrients. We are also now taking them to the yard, there
eyes are adjusting to sun light, and we are giving them different
things to smell, flowers, bugs, our cat, grass, rocks ex..
They are very play
full now, and wake up in a hurry when I say "puppy!"
they lick you, gnaw on you, cry for you, I even cuddle them
in the bed and they fall asleep with there little noses snuggle
up to you. They already have a strong attachment to people.
WEEK
SEVEN
We
are working on motor skills, and listening skills,
we have them run up and down stairs with us. and follow the
puppy noise. We also hide and yell puppy so they can find
us. we also use a cream rub on the feet, but theres no real
reason except they like it, it may have its benefits to the
pads.
the puppies are very
active now, and the hair is coming in.
They are also teething on pig ears and
beef sticks.
WEEK
EIGHT
Potty Training Using puppy Pads, and playing out side one hour after feedings. Fun and games. They learn action words like Wanta
Go, Puppy, and a few others which we have been doing, but
besides that it all about the human bond.
Please Keep your new
puppy's development
in mind!
We supply you with TONS of information on CD with your puppy
package, We also supply you with life time support for any
reason at all! So you have more then enuf to continue working
on your puppy's development, please please do so, we put alot
of work into these guys and love them very much, please continue
offering them this advantage and great aspect to there life.
The Teddy Bear breed has a waddley walk to its structure,
in some cases if the dog becomes highly over weight, in its
older ages the dog may need knee surgery. So please feed your
new puppy right. its is rare, but its best to feed them right
anyhow. Alot of problems can arise if a dog becomes overweight,
or is unhealthy for any reason.
Please note: these dog do not tend to become overweight, they
are active dogs, but in any dog as they become older they
lose there level of activity and if your feeding them tons
of human junk food as with any dog they well become over weight.
Also Keep them Active! Walk and
play with your new puppy. A dog can become depressed if forgotten,
and its just unhealthy all together. Please take care of your
new puppy, we are here for you life long for any questions,
so please don't hesitate! We care about all puppies, so even
if they aren't ours please don't hesitate to call or email

After over viewing countless Veterinary clinics, and reviewing them inside and out. From the morals they stand by and the care they invest into each beloved pet among other aspects. We have finally decided on a permanent Veterinarian.
We have chosen Lake Country because they have by far exceeded our expectations, We had heard of them through a neighbor when we were fostering a lost dog, she told me this vet would check for a chip free of charge and also takes in homeless animals and adopts them out.
When we had arrive we automatically felt at peace, its wooded landscaping and very earth bound construction (instead of the icy cold architect of most vets) made us feel comfortable at the get go. We were still jumping from vet to vet at the time, I wanted a moral bound but professional vet and it was a hard find.
So at once we decided this maybe the right place. As i waited for my first visit with Dr. Rolf Lippke over a Rescue Yorkie i was waiting to have a surgery with, i had noticed an older lady coming in with a bichon who had lots of serous problems. The staff greeted her with the utmost respect, and they had been carrying a tab for her due to the extreme expenses of her older dogs illnesses. I went to talk to the staff, and found out they had a good moral standing with the community and did carry from time to time during hardships, however this had put a great strain on the clinic so they had to stop doing so, but in all reality still do from time to time giving the situation.
During our next few visits with Dr. Keith French (Who is our chosen Vet) We had taken puppies in for health certificate's. He did a very through job, even though the certificate dose not require it he checked for heart murmurs, and skeletal defects, and much more in depth overview. So not only did i find a very moral and professional Vet But a very Honest and caring one as well.
The prices are also VERY reasonable, and with no hidden charges! They also well tell you if, you can administer the treatment and show you how, or if you can buy the needed supplies or medications from the store!!!!
This is a one of a kind vet, if your looking for a vet i would strongly suggest coming here, if your not local try to find one who has the same qualities.
Now days a lot of vets are like mechanics, and its hard to find the right guy for the job, but if you just take the time, do the research needed and then try a few visits till you find the right one, it will pay off in the long run.
God Bless
