Ok the golden retriever and the labradoodle look the same the boxer and rott's look wrong what a big website they have

[Lori Jordan]

the standard poodle looks like 2 completely different dogs.

[IRescue452]

They have a cocker spaniel, looks more like a poodle, that is 95% white. That is definately against the breed standard (not that I personally care about colour in the standard but a breeder would not sell this dog as the pick of the litter). It has blue eyes. It looks sickly.

Hypoglycemia

Overview - Hypoglycemia - a (low blood sugar) is a concern in toy breed puppies. Ideally puppies should have 3 to 4 small meals throughout the day in order to maintain a normal sugar level. Stress, playing hard, or not eating for 6 to 12 hours can be enough to induce a hypoglycemia incident.

Signs - Suddenly become lethargic, seem weak, begin shaking or seem cold, or stumble, may be experiencing hypoglycemia. Sometimes puppies with low blood sugar are also depressed, and do not have much appetite.

Treatment -Your pet may be suffering from hypoglycemia, initially treat it by giving it Nutrical, or a half-teaspoon of maple syrup or honey. Then feed 5 minutes after chicken baby food 12 cc that's almost a half a jar. Continue to do this every 4 hours and call us 954-885-6600

Prevention - The best way to handle Hypoglycemia is through prevention. Make sure your pup is not over stimulated. It may be necessary to virtually place food in puppy's mouth to get them to eat.

What if the puppy starts coughing?

Don't panic! Like a common cold, canine cough (dog flu) will run it's course.Robitussin - DM cough suppressant (child dosage) will reduce coughing. (1/4 teaspoonful per 5 pounds, three times daily. Although the coughing is annoying, it usually does not develop into anything more serious. However, if the coughing persists or worsens, you should contact us.If the puppy sounds very congested as well. Like humans, dogs can catch the flue, or a cold, anywhere! Tracheobronchitis is sometimes called:Canine Cough, Kennel Cough, Canine Cold, or the Dog Flu.To many, the term, "kennel cough" means that this disease can only be contacted from a kennel. However, exposure to Kennel cough most often occurs at dog shows, kennels, groomers, or any place there are a number of dogs. Kennel cough is a contagious diseaseaffecting the respiratory system of dogs.It is influenced by various environmental factors and is usually produced by a viral agent.

Congratulations on your new family member from Wizardofclaws. Here are some tips to make the transition from our home to yours.

Your puppy may be nervous (the puppy is no long experience familiar sights and sounds), this unsettling feeling will pass shortly. Nervousness or change of diet may cause diarrhea. If it last longer than two days, place call us.Not eating for the first hours can happen.

Bright red blood in the stool. Generally this is a case of Coccidia. The blood may also be due to a broken blood vessel when a puppy defecates. Whether the blood is due to coccidia or the puppy straining, its advisable to give us a call.

Worms in the puppy's stool. There are many types of worms that you puppy may have.The most common types are:

1. Tapeworms:Look like small grains of rice.
2.Round worms:Looks like a strand of spaghetti

Should you see worms in your puppys stool, don't be alarmed.At the first vet visit the stool should be examined and if worms are present, they will be treated.

Kennel Cough (Tracheal Bronchitis) Symptoms of kennel cough are a dry hacking cough, and shortness of breath. Kennel cough is quite common, almost as common as the human cold.It is caused by a combination of stress and temperature variation. Although the cough many sound threatening, it is treatable.Note:Kennel Cough can remain in the puppy's system any where from five days to several weeks.

Hypoglycemia can occur in small breeds.It is preventable as long as the puppy is fed every 4 to 5 hours. Hypoglycemia occurs when a puppy stresses (shipping, over exertion, missing a meal, or a combination of all three).Should your puppy become hypoglycemic, a quick dose of Nutrical, Karo syrup or honey to bring the blood sugar levels up.You must then feed the puppy (force feed if necessary) and call us immediately.

I hope this thread educates people to avoid buying from these websites instead of perpetuating their popularity...

But at any rate, I have much dirt on GGR, and it was claimed that they bred their dogs to create "unique" mixes to advertise as dogs rescued from puppy mills/irresponsible breeders. Indeed, they are not rescues. GGR is an operation just as filthy and despicable as WOC. I was given information that GGR took the intact Borzois from a very unpopular and unscrupulous breeder who bred solely for color and used those "misfit" dogs as breeding machines. Unforunately, people are not as used to seeing large sighthounds being abused by backyard breeders/puppy millers so they automatically assume GGR is a legitimate rescue. It is not, and I hope prospective adopters reading this thread will rethink their decision.
