Your Questions About Rough Collie Puppies
Betty asks…
How do i introduce my border collie puppy to my cat?
My cat is 14 months old and has live in our house for about a year.
And we are getting a border collie puppy.
What is the best way to introduce them to eachother
admin answers:
Keep the puppy under control, and make sure the cat can get away from the puppy when it wants to. Supervise, don’t let either get too rough or start chasing the other. Never leave them alone together until they are used to each other.
Don’t expect the cat to take to the dog immediately usually it takes a few days or even weeks.
John asks…
Why does our puppy walk around with a toy/bone and cry?
We have a young rough collie/blue merle mix puppy named Desi that has been doing something kind of weird. For some reason, for about the past month or so, he has been walking around with a bone or a toy in his mouth while whimpering. We’re not sure why he has been doing this. Does anyone know why? Or has anyone else had a dog do similar things?
admin answers:
I think it’s because he has nowhere to hid it..I bet if you let him out he will look for a spot to try and bury/hid it…mine hides it in a corner and tries covering it with air..lol..then she looks at me like ..did you see me? Lol..
George asks…
How much should my 8 week old puppy weigh?
She is a female rough collie and came from a litter of 6. She is currently 5.8 kg, is this about right? Thanks, all answers very much appreciated.
admin answers:
The weight may or may not be right. Body condition is what is important. You should be feeding a puppy chow now. Switching to an adult chow for the larger breeds at 4 months, slows growth and helps develop sturdier joints.
Your dog definitely should be narrower at the waist than the hips and chest. You should be able to easily feel the ribs, but not see them. Each dog is different. Standard recommendations are a good place to start, but each dog must have its food and exercise adjusted to its individual needs.
