Second, if it is to get only Ara, the individual to raise, and eat natural food (that is, what people eat what it eats), generally, it is to grow so high or so, if you get a little bit of food, strengthen the "scientific" management, to give it calcium supplements and so on, it can grow better, higher. If you use special dog food, it may grow higher, male big hair shoulder up to 80cm or more, but I have serious doubts about the harmlessness of the ingredients of these dog food.
Three, the pursuit of the national Ara seriously deviated from the "science", always the bigger the better, whether it is to eat hormone catalyzed or their own genetic factors, like bodybuilding pig. What can be said is that at present, if you do not feed it those so-called "professional" feed, even those so-called giant Ara's offspring, its height can only be a little higher than the AKC standard, a little heavier than just a little bit, will not exceed 15%.
Four, my family's Ara has more than 1 year old, a year of experience gives me the feeling that the Ara is not suitable for as a family pet, its character:
1, easy-going, but very own, do not listen to the command. Never willing to actively please the owner, except when asked for food.
2, bring out the outdoors, nothing when very good, as long as there are things that make it interested in, immediately disobedient. And its running speed is fast, endurance is enough, not people can catch up. So I personally recommend that you not let go of it.
3, to people, to the dog without aggression, very obedient, a see other small and medium-sized animals immediately change in temperament, accidentally, it was a bite to death, and the action of the fast unexpected.
4, the adult dog's strength is very large, when it does not obey, the general female is difficult to control it effectively. Of course, its "disobedience", generally refers to the scurrying and running, the possibility of it biting is basically not, unless extreme circumstances.
5, do not doubt its intelligence, its adult dog IQ should be in 5 years old children up and down. Its real owner is probably its own, so its obedience to its owner has always been insufficient. Those of you who have had naughty children think about the behavior of disobedient 5 year olds to understand what kind of dog it is.
Fifth, the last thing I want to say is that Ara is one of the most handsome dogs, its body proportion is the most suitable for the golden section, is the most like a handsome dog dog.
