What are the differences between a caogou (Chinese native dog) and a Labrador?
Keeping pets seems to have become a trendy choice for modern young people, but when choosing a dog breed you must be careful and not let dealers pass off inferior dogs as good ones. Below is an introduction to the differences between caogou and Labradors for everyone to understand.
1. What are the differences between caogou and Labradors?
First, the genetic traits of caogou are unstable, while Labradors have specific genetic traits; second, caogou are generally medium-sized dogs, smaller in size than the medium-to-large Labrador; third, caogou have ordinary looks, while Labradors have a square head and broad face and a cute, silly-looking appearance; fourth, Labradors are water retrievers, and their paws are broader than those of caogou.
2. How should a Labrador be raised?
1. Sufficient exercise
Let the Labrador exercise or walk for about 20 to 40 minutes every day, and it can play and exercise appropriately indoors or in the yard. When the sunlight is not too strong and the outdoor temperature is not too high, letting the puppy bask in the sun and take a sunbath is good for bone growth.
2. Regular deworming
Deworming a Labrador is a very important matter. Deworming is divided into internal deworming and external deworming. Deworming is generally done about one week after vaccination; the dosage of the deworming medicine is prepared according to the dog's weight, so please read the instructions strictly! Generally speaking, internal deworming should be done once every three months. Two or three days after internal deworming, external deworming needs to be done; usually dogs that go out often need external deworming once a month, while those that do not go out often need it once every three months.
3. Nutritious dog food
You must choose a good dog food for the dog, and you cannot use whether the dog likes to eat it as the standard. You should consider factors such as the smell, raw materials, oil content, salt content, and nutritional elements of the dog food; these factors are often reflected in all aspects of the dog, such as the color and smell of its feces, coat quality, coat volume, breath, and tear stains.
