If you have patience and love, raising a Teddy dog is easy. But if you’re afraid of trouble, it’s better not to. I just got a little Teddy dog this year. It came to our home when it was weaned at over one month old. Puppies newly arrived at a new home usually bark at night. At this time, you’d better ignore it. After a few nights of barking, it will stop.
However, I can’t bear the barking of a little puppy. It sounds so pitiful and heart – rending. So, every time it barked, I would get up to soothe it. I had to get up at least two or three times a night. My DouDou usually barked at 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, and 6 o’clock. Each time, I would get up to play with it for a while and hold it to comfort it. This process usually took about half an hour for it to fall asleep again.
Little DouDou when it first came to the new home
For feeding a puppy, you need to soak the dog food until it’s soft because their teeth haven’t grown out yet. In my case, I soaked the dog food and mixed it with milk powder. The milk powder must be goat milk powder because cow milk can cause diarrhea.
When a puppy first comes, it will definitely urinate and defecate everywhere. You have to watch it and clean up after it.
In the first few months, it needs to be vaccinated every twenty – odd days. During the period after vaccination, you need to take even more careful care of it.
When it gets a bit older, you need to bathe it and take it out for toilet breaks in the morning and evening.
These are probably all the troublesome things. If it gets sick by accident, it will be even more troublesome. When it’s teething, it will bite everything. The corners of my walls have been chewed up.
However, for people who really like small animals and are very patient, it’s not really that troublesome. So, I think Teddy dogs are quite easy to raise.
Teddy dogs are very smart. My DouDou was brought home when it was over one month old. It was usually kept in the toilet. By the third day at home, it already knew how to urinate and defecate at a fixed point in the toilet. Now it’s over two months old. When it’s let out to play in the living room, it has also learned to use the fixed – point toilet.
Once, my mom came home and it was so excited that it peed on the floor. My mom got angry and asked it what was going on. As a result, it ran back to the toilet and hid under the cabinet. Eventually, my mom had to go and coax it out.
Usually, whenever it does something wrong, it will run back to its kennel and lie down, staring outside to see if anyone is angry. Then it will slowly stick out its little head and come out tentatively. If no one is angry, it will start playing in the living room again.
It usually likes to lie on people’s legs and sleep on people. It’s very clingy and needs companionship.
