Butterfly dog's basic introduction was previously called. Its most special feature lies in its striking big ears and petite posture, so it is loved by many women who love beauty. Lively, bold and flexible, easy to get close to, warm and docile to the host, but very exclusive and jealous of the third party. Butterfly dogs have a high IQ, equivalent to a child of five or six years old, and belong to the highest IQ members in the pet dog category. Generally speaking, its average IQ is similar to Labrador, Shetland Shepherd and Rottweiler, slightly lower than that of famous dogs with high IQ such as Border Shepherd, German Shepherd and VIP, but smarter than Schnauzer and Samoyed. /kloc-In the 6th century, butterfly dogs were called pygmy beagles, which were often found in precious ancient paintings or tapestries. In the Louis era, the larger dwarf terrier gradually changed from drooping ears to erect ears, with ears inclined to the sides of the head, like two open butterfly wings (Ba Bilong is a French butterfly), and developed into a butterfly dog in modern times. Nobanes, Wattio, Range Nader and Boscher all described such puppies, and they were indispensable in the portraits of ladies at that time, showing their popularity. Although it has been exhibited in the United States for many years, it was not until 1935 that the American Butterfly Dog Club was established that the butterfly dog officially became a member of the American kennel club.

The size, position, shape and even the presence or absence of facial patterns and colored stripes on the body are not important. As long as there is enough melanin in eyes, nose and lips, it makes no difference what color it is. The following situations are serious defects: colors other than white cannot cover ears (front and back) or extend from ears to eyes. Under the premise of not affecting the butterfly-shaped appearance, it is not a serious defect to set a circle of white edges around the ears or spread a small amount of white hair of other colors.

For dogs with strong toes and brown or white fur, the toes should be black (if it is a white dog or a dog with white feet, the toes are white, and if the other colors of the dog are suitable, it is not a defect). Toes are strong and hard, covered with hair that extends to the front of the toes. Tail tail: It is very tall and long, and its tail hair is rich in lovely feathers.

Artificial feeding and daily maintenance of dog food are essential professional foods for the growth of butterfly dogs. Professional dog food is formulated according to the special structure of the dog's body and the nutrition needed for its growth. But many dogs don't like dog food for many reasons. For example, the butterfly dog has too much dog food, which will make the dog overeat every meal, but the dog can't digest and absorb it, and he will still be full at the next meal, so he won't eat dog food because he is not hungry. In fact, it is very simple to solve this problem. As long as butterfly dogs are moderately hungry, the amount of dog food prepared for each meal is so small that dogs can eat seven or eight points full, so that dog food can attract dogs for a long time and make butterfly dogs not eat dog food. A lot of snacks in daily life is also an important reason why dogs don't like to eat dog food. To this end, breeders should not prepare too many snacks for dogs, except giving suitable snacks as rewards when training dogs, and don't give dogs snacks at will in normal life, and don't let dogs develop the habit of eating snacks. More importantly, snacks can't replace the staple food of dog food to ensure that dogs can eat dog food normally. During feeding, always pay attention to its mental state and appetite, and treat it in time if found. At the same time, we should avoid being overindulged and form the habit of willfulness and disobedience, but should add more * * * and strict training. The owner of butterfly dog must have enough free time, because this kind of dog is a very beautiful small long-haired dog and needs someone to give it regular appearance management. If you keep a butterfly dog, don't use its close relatives, or you will lose its beautiful posture and beautiful coat characteristics. Dogs' toes and claws should be trimmed in time. Sharp toes and claws can damage the owner's clothes and body. Butterfly dogs love to play, so it is better to keep two, so that they can play with each other and reduce the burden on their owners. However, keeping two dogs at the same time will tear each other's ear hair while playing, so it will be difficult to pursue rich ear hair care. The purchase method (1) should be strong. (2) Choose according to the appearance and physical characteristics of butterfly dogs, and don't choose those with variation. (3) Check whether the stripes from the forehead to the bridge of the nose are symmetrical. Only symmetrical stripes will be more beautiful. (4) The ears should be big and erect, and the hair should be long, which looks like a butterfly as a whole. (5) The skull should be round, the nose and mouth should be slender, and the skull should not be too long or the snout too thick. (6) Eyes should be dark, and those who are too light may not be pure butterfly dogs. (7) If the body is too short or the limbs are too long, it will lose the graceful posture of this dog and should be rejected. (8) The coat colors are white-black, white-gray, white-red and white-brown, and the monochrome coat color is inferior, so it is not suitable for purchase. Culture method Childhood is the stage with the fastest growth and development, the easiest culture, and the highest morbidity and mortality. Therefore, at this stage, we must understand the growth and development law and physiological characteristics of puppies and give them scientific care. Butterfly dogs grow rapidly at a young age, so they must be provided with adequate nutrition. Because of the sudden change of living conditions, weaned puppies often feel uneasy and easily get sick. At this time, they should choose foods with good nutrition, good taste and easy digestion. Puppies within 3 months should be fed at least 3-4 times a day. You can use the method of feeding less. Feeding less will make puppies feel dissatisfied all the time, so as not to get bored with food and be picky about food. Puppies aged 4-6 months have increased food intake and gained weight quickly, and need more feed every day, at least three times a day. Dogs after 6 months old can be fed twice a day. Newly bought puppies should be fed according to the original dog owner's diet first, and then gradually changed. The gastrointestinal function of puppies within 2 months is not strong, so dog food should be soaked and fed. If there are no conditions, you should also feed porridge and soybean milk, and add some chopped fish, meat and chopped cooked vegetables. Don't feed milk. If breastfeeding is necessary, try to use special dog milk powder or skim milk powder with high calcium. Puppies after 2 months can use special puppy dog food. In order to reduce the cost without affecting the nutrition of puppies, pigs, cows, chickens and other organs can be cooked and chopped, and then mixed with vegetables, corn flour and other cooked food to feed dogs. It's economical and dogs love it. Don't feed the dog too much meat. Too much meat will not only make dogs strong, but also lead to indigestion and diarrhea. Although there are many meats in protein, there are few vitamins A, D, E and iodine. At the same time, meat contains less calcium and more phosphorus. Eating meat for a long time can easily lead to imbalance of calcium and phosphorus in puppies, which leads to bone formation disorder and is easy to fracture or limp. It is best to let the dog drink some glucose water after daily exercise (1 tablespoon of glucose powder with appropriate amount of water). In addition, puppies should be supplemented with calcium and vitamins, such as calcium tablets and multivitamins. Puppies are full of energy, jumping and consuming far less physical strength than human babies, so protein is the most important nutrition for puppies. Protein can develop the muscles and fibers of puppies. However, protein must be easily absorbed, not just eaten too much. As a smart owner, you must know high-quality dog food, because the nutrients that puppies ingest and absorb during their growth will affect their health in the future. The puppy's stomach is very small. If they are fed with low-quality food, they will soon be full, and the nutrition they should get is still not absorbed. On the contrary, by feeding high-quality food, puppies can absorb the protein they deserve and will not be overweight and obese because they eat too much. Balanced nutrition is very important. Besides protein, calcium and starch also contribute to the healthy development of puppies. Many owners think that constantly feeding the puppy (commonly known as Gu Feiheng) will make the puppy stronger, but this is actually a very wrong concept. Too much food will make the bones of puppies develop too fast, resulting in abnormal bone structure. Low-quality food will only make puppies fat and relax their muscles. Overweight puppies are prone to heart and kidney diseases in adulthood. High-quality and balanced nutrition can not only make the dog's muscles strong, but also make the fur beautiful, smooth and shiny. A good stomach will also reduce the dog's bad breath and body odor. Butterfly dogs are not picky eaters, but they should have comprehensive nutrition, especially protein and vitamins. Butterfly dog feed can be divided into three categories: animal feed, plant feed and additives. The newborn puppy is very weak, and the breeder should observe it at any time to prevent the bitch from crushing the puppy. Puppies can suck their own milk after birth, but weak puppies need to be placed on the bitch's chest to help her suck. There are *** 8 bitches-10, and their feeding ability is limited. Large bitches can feed 10 puppies. If the number is too large, foster care or artificial feeding should be considered to ensure the healthy growth of puppies. Butterfly dogs from 3 months to 6 months after birth become puppies. At this time, dogs can live independently, and feeding can be changed to twice a day. Feed regularly, quantitatively, qualitatively and continuously, and be careful when eating. At this time, the puppy's canine teeth have grown out and like to chew. You can throw some bones for them to chew on. Dogs should be separated according to their strength, and the fighting puppies should be picked out and put into the older dogs to avoid the loss caused by biting the group. Breeding dogs have high nutritional requirements, so they should be fed again in the middle except in the morning and evening. In addition, to ensure the daily activity of the breeding dog, you should exercise in the big playground 2 ~ 3 times a day for about 30 minutes each time. This can not only ensure the quality of male dogs, but also enhance the physique of female dogs. Beauty method Butterfly dog beauty is easier, cut off the tufts on the soles of your feet (don't cut off any bristles between your toes). Their hair is often called nylon texture, which does not stick to dust and can be cleaned in just a few minutes every day. Choose some high-quality children's shampoo when taking a bath, then blow it open and comb it, paying special attention not to let water into your ears. There is no sewage residue after bathing, and dry it with sterile cotton balls. Choose some light oil, such as coconut oil, and spray it on your ear tassels or body to make your dog show superior performance in the beauty contest. The stubble around the mouth can't be pulled out, because in the dog's view, they can protect the eyes. In some special occasions (including beauty contests), butterfly dogs need to be thoroughly "dry-cleaned". Wool standard: single layer, silky, thin, slender, rich, elegant and elastic, with pomegranate border on the chest, neat and flat back and sides of the body, short hair on the skull, mouth collaterals, front of front legs and below rear legs, few clusters of sweet bones on the back of front legs from top to bottom, and rich silk hair on the rear legs, forming elegant "skirt pants". There are silk spikes on the inner surface of the ears, soft feather hairs on the tail, and short and thin clusters of feet sticking out from the toes to form cute little tips. Butterfly dogs have now become exhibition dogs or pet dogs. Although they didn't really win the trust of American dog lovers, there were actually many excellent dogs in the competition. Training mode is a means to force the owner to use mechanical and threatening passwords and force the dog to make corresponding actions accurately. Force is mainly used in initial training to strengthen the formation of its conditioned reflex. Under the influence of external incentives, dogs will also use coercion when they can't listen to commands and gestures smoothly. This method must be combined with reward, that is, every time the dog is forced to make a correct action, it must be fully rewarded. It is a means to induce the owner to use the dog's favorite food and articles to induce the dog to do some actions, or to use the dog's spontaneous actions combined with passwords and gestures to establish conditioned reflex or enhance the training effect. Reward is a means to strengthen the dog's correct actions, consolidate the dog's developed behaviors and adjust the dog's tension. Rewards include feeding, touching, swimming and verbal praise of "good". Reward is very important in dog training, but it must be used properly, otherwise it will not get good results. In dog training, we must follow the principle of "step by step, from simple to complex, according to the dog, and treat it differently", and we must be careful and patient. Signs of illness-fever. Fever is a common symptom of diseases and a precursor of many fatal dangers, which should not be underestimated. The normal body temperature of butterfly dogs is slightly higher than that of people, about 38.5 degrees, and the body temperature of small butterfly dogs is higher. Symptom 2: Trembling. The reason for the morbid trembling of butterfly dogs is that there is something wrong with the nervous system, which may be caused by encephalitis and canine distemper. Therefore, if the butterfly dog is found to have pathological trembling, it must be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. Symptom 3: Loss of appetite. If there is nothing unusual in the food itself, but the butterfly dog's food intake has dropped significantly, then it may be sick. Many diseases will reduce or even lose the appetite of butterfly dogs, such as gastrointestinal diseases and acute infectious diseases of other systems. Symptom 4: Difficulty in breathing. If the butterfly dog's breathing frequency is obviously accelerated and the breathing depth is increased, it may indicate that the butterfly dog has respiratory diseases, such as bronchitis, bronchitis and pneumothorax. Don't take it lightly. Symptom 5: Constipation. If it is found that the butterfly dog has poor defecation or disorder, it is necessary to adjust the butterfly dog's diet in time, otherwise serious digestive tract diseases may occur. Symptom 6: Diarrhea. Simple diarrhea may be caused by eating too much and not digesting. In order to deal with this situation, Jack, we should fast for one day, but diarrhea caused by parasites or other infectious diseases is not that simple, so we should not underestimate the diarrhea of butterfly dogs. Symptom 7: Vomiting. Butterfly dogs will take the initiative to vomit when they eat foreign bodies, and some dogs will vomit when they get carsick. This is normal. However, if there is severe vomiting, and the vomit contains not only food, but also gastric juice or water, it may be gastritis and needs to be sent to hospital for treatment. Extra attention 1. Avoid being overindulged and form the habit of being willful and disobedient, but you should add more * * * strict training.
2. The butterfly dog's stomach is not very good, so it should be raised very carefully.
Don't catch cold when you sleep at night.
Finally, butterfly dogs naturally change their hair once a year, usually in March-April, and there is no need to trim their hair. Generally speaking, the butterfly dog is a good dog.
