•You must regulate the amount of activity your puppy gets.  Young, small breed puppies tire very easily and quickly, especially if they are allowed to romp freely about the house or are handled excessively.  They need their rest just like an infant.
•A healthy puppy’s temperature is normally 101-102 degrees.  Should a puppy exhibit signs of illness such as vomiting, diarrhea, runny eyes or nose, excessive panting or whining, dizziness, lethargy, etc. take them to the veterinarian. DO NOT WAIT!  It does not take long for a puppy to become dehydrated.
•Some health-related issues can be treated with the following medicines:

Cough, try one (1) cc Robitussin or other cough syrup.

Diarrhea, try 1-2 cc Pepto Bismol or Kaopectate.

Gas pains, try 1 cc DiGel Liquid. NOTE: 1cc = 1/5 teaspoon.

I use a syringe, without the needle, to measure and dispense medications.

cThe four (4) most important factors in raising your puppy are:
IT MUST EAT
IT MUST REST
IT MUST BE KEPT WARM & DRY
IT MUST BE LOVED

Searching for the right puppy can be a tedious task. Many dog breeders advertise quality practices and “the best puppies.”

Frequently, buyers do not know what breed is more appropriate for them. Often, once the buyers make their choice of the breed, they search the internet and discover multiple advertisements for puppies. So the buyers make the choice of their new companion based on cute and well-made pictures of puppies. Typically the farther the breeder lives the cheaper are the puppies. Attracted by the low price, buyers pay a deposit and then often travel long distances. Upon arriving at the breeder’s, the buyers see one or two puppies available for sale. Usually breeders try to sale puppies as young as possible. Buyers, on the other hand, usually do not have enough time to get to know the puppy and its personality. Some puppies are very energetic, others are very quiet, and others bark a lot.

There is one more issue to consider. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for some breeders to offer such low prices? This is because they often try to decrease their expenses as much possible. It usually means that a vet has seen the puppies only once before sale. That the breeder has used the cheapest vaccine, flea and de-worms medicine. Cheap supplies are usually of poor quality, which may lead to health problems for the puppies. Purchasing cheap puppy can mean more vet expenses in the future.
