Great Swiss Cattle Dog puppy and Information
The Great Swiss Mountain Dog does not need extensive exercise so you can have in an apartment as she can get daily walks. A properly fenced in yard would be ideal. She is a great watch dog and guard dog. She usually gets along well with other pets and dogs. It says she is good with older children. As a reminder, never leave a child unsupervised with any puppy or dog. She prefers cooler climates and has a layer of easy care.
* Approximate adult size. The approximate adult size (two years or more) of the Greater Swiss Mountain Dog is 23-29 inches at the withers (the highest point of the shoulder) and 130 pounds to 135.
* Special Health Considerations. Most of dog breeds have certain inherited health problems associated with that specific breed and the Great Swiss Mountain Dog is no exception. Be on the look out for canine hip dysplasia (genetic looseness of the hip joint that can lead to arthritis pain and lameness), bone diseases, epilepsy (common in dogs), bloating (gastric dilation-volvulus, the second leading cause of death in dogs, can kill within an hour, this space is too limited for a complete explanation but you should read up on this.) The food more than once a day and avoiding exercise right after meals can help protect against swelling and eye problems. This disease list is an informative guideline only. Other diseases may also be significant threats, by please contact your veterinarian for a complete list.
She should visit the veterinarian several times in the first year for shots, boosters and check up. Then, as an adult, she should visit the veterinarian yearly for shots and check up. As she gets older, six years on, she should visit the veterinarian twice a year for checkups and vaccines. Remember, you avoid feeding your dog sweets.
* Grooming. Greater Swiss Mountain Dog has a double layer. The outer layer is short, shiny and thick, and the inner layer is very thick. She is an average shedder. She should be brushed weekly. Brushing will help her maintain a clean and healthy coat and help to maintain better control over their health and strengthen your emotional bond with her.
Her teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush teeth designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar which can cause cavities (rarely) and periodontal disease. Dog periodontal disease can lead to pain, tooth loss, bad breath and other serious illnesses.
Her toenails may need to be examined for growth and be clipped regularly. The toenails of the rear feet grow slower than the toenails of the front legs. Generally a guillotine type trimmer is the best for this chore and competent instructions to accomplish this can be found on the web.
* Life expectancy. Greater Swiss Mountain Dog can live between 10 and 12 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions.
* History. The Greater Swiss Mountain Dog comes from Switzerland. It is said that are descendants of the mastiff dogs that came with the Roman soldiers when they invaded Switzerland. They were first registered by the American Kennel Association in 1995.
