Nice one.

Questions:

How often to deworm a puppy of 3 and half months?

Is it wrong if I mate a mongrel with a dog of known breed? Would it be seen as unethical?
ANSWER 2: it's a 2 way thing. I will say YES and NO. YES: because you are trying to improve standard. NO: because you are gonna be circulating mixed breeds/mongrels.

Worming schedules will vary depending on the
product and your dog's age. Typically
puppies will be treated every two to three weeks
for two or three treatments to ensure elimination
of roundworms and hookworms. Adult dogs are
typically wormed when specific parasites are
found on microscopic exam of stool samples,
except in cases of bloody diarrhea where
whipworms are suspected, since these parasites
are difficult to diagnose on many stool samples.
Monthly heartworm preventatives will often be
effective in killing other parasites such as
hookworms and roundworms, as well as in
preventing whipworms. Veterinarians usually
won't worm pregnant dogs until after delivery,
since most puppies will be born with
roundworms no matter how often adult pets are
wormed.

PetsFacts About Dogs You Do Not Know! by logadims(op):
below are facts about dogs you do not know about.




BRIEF HISTORY ABOUT DOGS:

All dogs can be traced back 40
million years ago to a weasel-like
animal called the Miacis which
dwelled in trees and dens. The Miacis
later evolved into the Tomarctus, a
direct forbear of the genus Canis,
which includes the wolf and jackal as
well as the dog.



FACTS:

1
Small quantities of grapes and raisins
can cause renal failure in dogs.
Chocolate, macadamia nuts, cooked
onions, or anything with caffeine can
also be harmful.






2
Apple and pear seeds contain
arsenic, which may be deadly to
dogs.






3
Dogs have sweat glands in between
their paws.






4
In 2003, Dr. Roger Mugford invented
the “wagometer,” a device that claims
to interpret a dog’s exact mood by
measuring the wag of its tail.







5
Ancient Egyptians revered their dogs.
When a pet dog would die, the
owners shaved off their eyebrows,
smeared mud in their hair, and
mourned aloud for days.






6
Dogs have three eyelids. The third lid,
called a nictitating membrane or
“haw,” keeps the eye lubricated and
protected.






7
A dog’s shoulder blades are
unattached to the rest of the skeleton
to allow greater flexibility for running.






8
Puppies are sometimes rejected by
their mother if they are born by
cesarean and cleaned up before
being given back to her.







9
The phrase “raining cats and dogs”
originated in seventeenth-century
England. During heavy rainstorms,
many homeless animals would drown
and float down the streets, giving the
appearance that it had actually
rained cats and dogs.








10
During the Middle Ages, Great Danes
and Mastiffs were sometimes suited
with armor and spiked collars to
enter a battle or to defend supply
caravans.







11
Pekingese and Japanese Chins were
so important in the ancient Far East
that they had their own servants and
were carried around trade routes as
gifts for kings and emperors.
Pekingese were even worshipped in
the temples of China for centuries.







12
After the fall of Rome, human
survival often became more
important than breeding and training
dogs. Legends of werewolves
emerged during this time as
abandoned dogs traveling in packs
commonly roamed streets and
terrified villagers.






13
The most dogs ever owned by one
person were 5,000 Mastiffs owned by
Kublai Khan.





14
The American Kennel Club, the most
influential dog club in the United
States, was founded in 1884.






15
The most popular male dog names
are Max and Jake. The most popular
female dog names are Maggie and
Molly.







16
Weird dog laws include allowing
police offers in Palding, Ohio, to bite
a dog to quiet it. In Ventura County,
California, cats and dogs are not
allowed to have sex without a permit.






17
The first dog chapel was established
in 2001. It was built in St. Johnsbury,
Vermont, by Stephan Huneck, a
children’s book author whose five
dogs helped him recuperate from a
serious illness.






18
Those born under the sign of the dog
in Chinese astrology are considered
to be loyal and discreet, though
slightly temperamental.






19
In Iran, it is against the law to own a
dog as a pet. However, if an owner
can prove the dog is a guard or
hunting dog, this restriction doesn’t
apply. Muslim reticence concerning
dogs is perhaps due to the fact that
rabies has always been endemic in
the Middle East.






20
The Mayans and Aztecs symbolized
every tenth day with the dog, and
those born under this sign were
believed to have outstanding
leadership skills.






21
The shape of a dog’s face suggests
how long it will live. Dogs with sharp,
pointed faces that look more like
wolves typically live longer. Dogs
with very flat faces, such as bulldogs,
often have shorter lives.






22
The ancient Mbaya Indians of the
Gran Chaco in South America
believed that humans originally lived
underground until dogs dug them up.




23
French poodles did not originate in
France but in Germany (“poodle”
comes from the German pudel or
pudelhund, meaning “splashing
dog”). Some scholars speculate the
poodle’s puffs of hair evolved when
hunters shaved the poodle for more
efficient swimming, while leaving the
pom-poms around the major joints to
keep them warm.






24
The name of the dog on the Cracker
Jacks box is Bingo. The Taco Bell
Chihuahua is a rescued dog named
Gidget.







25
The first dogs were self-domesticated
wolves which, at least 12,000 years
ago, became attracted to the first
sites of permanent human habitation.





26
Dachshunds were bred to fight
badgers in their dens.






27
Plato once said that “a dog has the
soul of a philosopher.”






28
Laika, a Russian stray, was the first
living mammal to orbit the Earth, in
the Soviet Sputnik spacecraft in 1957.
Though she died in space, her
daughter Pushnika had four puppies
with President John F. Kennedy’s
terrier, Charlie.






29
Dalmatians are completely white at
birth.







30
The term “dog days of summer” was
coined by the ancient Greeks and
Romans to describe the hottest days
of summer that coincided with the
rising of the Dog Star, Sirius.






31
Alexander the Great is said to have
founded and named a city Peritas, in
memory of his dog.






32
In ancient Greece, kennels of dogs
were kept at the sanctuary of
Asclepius at Epidaurus. Dogs were
frequently sacrificed there because
they were plentiful, inexpensive, and
easy to control. During the July 25
celebration of the kunophontis (“the
massacre of dogs”), dog sacrifices
were performed to appease the
ancestors of Apollo’s son, Linos, who
was devoured by dogs.






33
Dog trainers in ancient China were
held in high esteem. A great deal of
dog domestication also took place in
China, especially dwarfing and
miniaturization.





34
The ancient religion Zoroastrianism
includes in its religious text titled the
Zend Avesta a section devoted to the
care and breeding of dogs.





35
The earliest European images of
dogs are found in cave paintings
dating back 12,000 years ago in
Spain.





36
The dog was frequently depicted in
Greek art, including Cerberus, the
three-headed hound guarding the
entrance to the underworld, and the
hunting dogs which accompanied the
virgin goddess of the chase, Diana.






37
During the Renaissance, detailed
portraits of the dog as a symbol of
fidelity and loyalty appeared in
mythological, allegorical, and
religious art throughout Europe,
including works by Leonardo da
Vinci, Diego Velázquez, Jan van Eyck,
and Albrecht Durer.





38
Rock star Ozzy Osborne saved his
wife Sharon’s Pomeranian from a
coyote by tackling and wresting the
coyote until it released the dog.







39
A puppy is born blind, deaf, and
toothless. 40 [4]
The Basenji is the world’s only
barkless dog.






41
A dog most likely interprets a smiling
person as baring their teeth, which is
an act of aggression.





42
The origin of amputating a dog’s tail
may go back to the Roman writer
Lucius Columella’s (A.D. 4-70)
assertion that tail docking prevented
rabies.






43
One of Shakespeare’s most
mischievous characters is Crab, the
dog belonging to Launce in the Two
Gentlemen of Verona. The word
“watchdog” is first found in The
Tempest .






44
President Franklin Roosevelt created
a minor international incident when
he claimed he sent a destroyer to the
Aleutian Islands just to pick up his
Scottish Terrier, Fala, who had been
left behind.
45

Shepherds, Labs, and even a few
little Dachshunds.





46
It costs approximately $10,000 to

matchbox-size Yorkshire Terrier. It
was 2.5" tall at the shoulder, 3.5"
from nose tip to tail, and weighed
only 4 ounces.





48
Hollywood’s first and arguably best
canine superstar was Rin Tin Tin, a
five-day-old German Shepherd found
wounded in battle in WWI France and
adopted by an American soldier, Lee
Duncan. He would sign his own
contracts with his paw print.





49
During the Middle Ages, mixed breeds
of peasants’ dogs were required to
wear blocks around their necks to
keep them from breeding with noble
hunting dogs. Purebred dogs were
very expensive and hunting became
the province of the rich.







50
At the end of WWI, the German
government trained the first guide
dogs for war-blinded soldiers.





51
A dog can locate the source of a
sound in 1/600 of a second and can
hear sounds four times farther away
than a human can.




52
Touch is the first sense the dog
develops. The entire body, including
the paws, is covered with touch-
sensitive nerve endings.






53
Eighteen muscles or more can move
a dog’s ear.







54
The names of 77 ancient Egyptian
dogs have been recorded. The names
refer to color and character, such as
Blackie, Ebony, Good Herdsman,
Reliable, and Brave One.







55
In Egypt, a person bitten by a rabid
dog was encouraged to eat the
roasted liver of a dog infected with
rabies to avoid contracting the
disease. The tooth of a dog infected
with rabies would also be put in a
band tied to the arm of the person
bitten. The menstrual blood of a
female dog was used for hair
removal, while dog genitals were
used for preventing the whitening of
hair.





56
In early Christian tradition, Saint
Christopher, the patron saint of
travelers, is sometimes depicted with
a dog’s head.







57
The oldest known dog bones were
found in Asia and date as far back as
10,000 B.C. The first identifiable dog
breed appeared about 9000 B.C. and
was probably a type of Greyhound
dog used for hunting.






58
There are an estimated 400 million
dogs in the world. 59 [5]
The U.S. has the highest dog
population in the world. France has
the second highest.





60
Scholars have argued over the
metaphysical interpretation of
Dorothy’s pooch, Toto, in the Wizard
of Oz. One theory postulates that
Toto represents Anubis, the dog-
headed Egyptian god of death,
because Toto consistently keeps
Dorothy from safely returning home.





61
Dog nose prints are as unique as
human finger prints and can be used
to identify them.





62
Bloodhound dogs have a keen sense
of smell and have been used since
the Middle Ages to track criminals.






63
It is much easier for dogs to learn
spoken commands if they are given
in conjunction with hand signals or
gestures.




64
Dogs in a pack are more likely to
chase and hunt than a single dog on
its own. Two dogs are enough to
form a pack.




65
Dogs can see in color, though they
most likely see colors similar to a
color-blind human. They can see
better when the light is low.





66
Dogs have lived with humans for
over 14,000 years. Cats have lived
with people for only 7,000 years.






67
Zorba, an English mastiff, is the
biggest dog ever recorded. He
weighed 343 pounds and measured

mph. Greyhounds are the fastest
dogs on Earth and can run at speeds
of 45 mph.




69
One female dog and her female
children could produce 4,372 puppies
in seven years.





70
The most popular dog breed in
Canada, U.S., and Great Britain is the
Labrador retriever.





71
Petting dogs is proven to lower blood
pressure of dog owners.






72
Greyhounds appear to be the most
ancient dog breed. “Greyhound”
comes from a mistake in translating
the early German name Greishund,
which means “old (or ancient) dog,”
not from the color gray.





73
The oldest dog on record was an
Australian cattle dog named Bluey
who lived 29 years and 5 months. In
human years, that is more than 160
years old.





74
Most experts believe humans
domesticated dogs before donkeys,
horses, sheep, goats, cattle, cats, or
chickens.





75
A person standing still 300 yards
away is almost invisible to a dog. But
a dog can easily identify its owner
standing a mile away if the owner is
waving his arms.





76
Dogs with big, square heads and
large ears (like the Saint Bernard) are
the best at hearing subsonic sounds.




77
In Croatia, scientists discovered that
lampposts were falling down because
a chemical in the urine of male dogs
was rotting the metal.







78
Dogs can smell about 1,000 times
better than humans. While humans
have 5 million smell-detecting cells,
dogs have more than 220 million.
The part of the brain that interprets
smell is also four times larger in dogs
than in humans.





79
Some dogs can smell dead bodies
under water, where termites are
hiding, and natural gas buried under
40 feet of dirt. They can even detect
cancer that is too small to be
detected by a doctor and can find
lung cancer by sniffing a person’s
breath.





80
Dogs have a wet nose to collect more
of the tiny droplets of smelling
chemicals in the air.




81
Dogs like sweets a lot more than cats
do. While cats have around only 473
taste buds, dogs have about 1,700
taste buds. Humans have
approximately 9,000.




82
Different smells in the a dog’s urine
can tell other dogs whether the dog
leaving the message is female or
male, old or young, sick or healthy,
happy or angry.




83
Male dogs will raise their legs while
urinating to aim higher on a tree or
lamppost because they want to leave
a message that they are tall and
intimidating. Some wild dogs in
Africa try to run up tree trunks while
they are urinating to appear to be
very large.






84
Countess Karlotta Libenstein of
Germany left approximately $106
million to her Alsatin, Gunther III,
when she died in 1992.





85
A lost Dachshund was found
swallowed whole in the stomach of a
giant catfish in Berlin on July 2003.




86
A person should never kick a dog
facing him or her. Some dogs can
bite 10 times before a human can
respond.




87
In Australia, a man who was arrested
for drug possession argued his civil
rights were violated when the drug-
sniffing dog nuzzled his crotch. While
the judge dismissed the charges,
they were later reinstated when a
prosecutor pointed out that in the
animal kingdom, crotch nuzzling was
a friendly gesture.




88
The Beagle came into prominence in
the 1300s and 1400s during the days
of King Henry VII of England.
Elizabeth I was fond of Pocket
Beagles, which were only 9" high.




89
The best dog to reportedly attract a
date is the Golden Retriever. The
worst is the Pit Bull.




90
The Akita is one of the most
challenging dogs to own. Some
insurance companies have even
characterized it as the #1 “bad dog”
and may even raise an Akita owner’s
homeowner insurance costs.




91
The Beagle and Collie are the nosiest
dogs, while the Akbash Dog and the
Basenji are the quietest.




92
One survey reports that 33% of dog
owners admit they talk to their dogs
on the phone or leave messages on
answering machines while they are
away.



93
Thirty percent of all Dalmatians are
deaf in one or both ears. Because
bulldogs have extremely short
muzzles, many spend their lives
fighting suffocation. Because
Chihuahuas have such small skulls,
the flow of spinal fluid can be
restricted, causing hydrocephalus, a
swelling of the brain.



94
Dogs are about as smart as a two- or
three-year-old child. This means they
can understand about 150-200 words,
including signals and hand
movements with the same meaning
as words.



95
The grief suffered after a pet dog
dies can be the same as that
experienced after the death of a
person.






96
There are almost 5 million dog bites
per year; children are the main
victims. Dog bites cause losses of
over $1 billion a year.






97
The most intelligent dogs are
reportedly the Border Collie and the
Poodle, while the least intelligent
dogs are the Afghan Hound and the
Basenji.





98
One kind of Pekingese is referred to
as a “sleeve” because it was bred to
fit into a Chinese empress’ sleeves,
which was how it was often carried
around.




99
A group of pugs is called a
"grumble."
