SK got vet meh? where? where?? price ok or not??
Regarding the jab thing, i dunno loh.....coz 1st jab normally home breeder or petshop will do it for u. And normally they wont give 10in1 lah, expensive leh.....Mostly is 6in1. Then the 2nd and 3rd jab depends on us loh.

one piece can block meh?? one piece cannot stand on its own lah. If u r leaning it against the wall, one push then fall down loh.........

BTW, who still feeds their puppy soaked kibbles?? how long should change to dry kibbles leh?? coz the soaked kibbles makes their fur really dirty leh.......

i not dare to feed wet food lah, scared fifi will be picky on the food. Coz the vet told me that shih tzu r the number 1 picky eater, so better dun feed anything rather than kibbles when they r young.

i look at Bil Jac's ingredient, too many by-products leh.....
I think better stick back to BlackWood lah since the breeder also feeding Xun XUn blackwood.
And some of them also claim that taking Blackwood produce less poo, harder poo and less smelly poo.

same smelly ah??? haha.....
I thought switching to blackwood pulak..... btw, ur jack jack got eat his poo or not?? My fifi sometimes will eat one oh.....She'll do it if no one notice she poo already. She'll eat some, and leave some there, geli.............

Mayb MS and shih tzu poo smell is diff leh??? digestion system also different mah.........
The first time i also feed fifi Nutriedge, the poo also like walao.....
Then i switch to better brand, Nutri-Gold Puppy Microbites, ingredients very good, but the poo smell still not much reduce.
Intend to change to blackwood after finishing the pack. Although the ingredients for blackwood is not as good as Nutra-gold, but anyway its still a not bad product i think.......

yeah jaunty, i think ur breeder is pushing u too much. If i were u, for sure I'll just take Xun Xun. If he insist again, and say something like, "No money still wanna keep 2 dogs" , I'll definitely shoot him and tell him to eat dust!

If u haven start yet, go to a vet and do a blood test for heartworm first. U tell the vet they know lah....
If the result is negative, then can give heartworm tablet every month.
If result is positive, then sorry lah, cannot give heartworm prevention tablet, but need to start heartworm medication. I'm sure if u ask the vet, they will explain to u one lah.

Easy lah, u tell him that u got everything u need since u already have a dog....no need to buy xtra coz u already HAVE them, repeat "I already have them, so i dun wanna buy xtra. If i wanna buy later, I'll buy myself" thats all, end of story........

yeah, yeah, bring Syrian along, I'm sure she'll help u!!!haha..........

CAn say annual check-up lah. I done this basic checo when i bring fifi for her 2nd jab. I think I'll continue to do so for her annual jab, just to make sure she's healthy lah....

re:kimmie
Wah, so cham ah....wat have ur maid done?? use dishwasher instead of puppy shampoo?? take pics after the extreme makeover!!!

re:jaunty
hey hey, 4got to ask, how much u pay for Xun Xun and the accesories? wat is included in the package?? the breeder got Boh Song or not??

My Fifi like can poo 3 to 4 times a day leh.....

Weekdays, i need to go to work, so schedule as below:
Morning after or b4 breakfast, must poo.
Then 30minutes play time, back to cage.
After work around 6.30pm, dinner, then poo.
Night, around 10pm, sometimes poo, sometimes dunt.

Weekends, no need work, so no need to cage fifi except bed time.
Morning after or b4 breakfast, poo.
Since she roam free during weekdays, afternoon around 12pm, poo.
Dinner 7pm, sometimes poo sometimes dont.
Night around 10pm, sometimes poo sometimes dont. If 7pm poo, 10pm might not poo.
Sometimes poo at both 7pm and 10pm.....

How to train her like, poo 2 times, morning and evening?? or puppy usually poo more times??
How many times do your adult poo?

To housebreak ah....i think u need to spend around 1 hour for each session.
Wat i did last time to housebreak fifi as below. U can take as a reference.
1st week:
Morning, open cage, carry her to paper and wait for her to pee. She'll be happy and wanna play. Just ignore her, sit there diam diam. She leave the paper, carry her back. If she pee on floor, say NO.....then fast fast carry to paper. After finish peeing on paper, give treats.
After breakfast, same, carry her to the paper, dun play wif her, wait for her to poo. See her turn round, sniff sniff, say NO........and carry her to the paper. After poo on paper, treat again.
After work, open cage, carry her to paper wait her pee.
After feeding, wait her poo.
Night time, play time at the living room. See her sniff sniff n squat down, say NO.......bring her to paper. Confirm got accident and peee dripping one, just clean them loh.....

2nd week.
Morning, open cage, no more carry her. Lure her to paper, wait her pee then only let her leave the paper. After pee treats.....After breakfast, let her roam in the leaving room. See her in poo stance, say NO......carry to paper to poo, then treats.
After work, lure her to paper to pee again, treats. After dinner, wait her poo, then treats again.

3rd week,
Same as 2nd week. Only change is when see her in poo stance, say NO....push her abit and lure her to paper to poo. If cannot, same, carry her to newspaper.
By this week, fifi already get the idea, pee and poo on paper. This time i dun carry, just say NO..... i stand near the paper. See her wanna poo or pee on the floor. Say NO......then point to the paper. Use the finger to hit the paper to make some noise to attract her sight. If she still pee and poo on the floor, do back the same thing, fast fast carry to paper, then point to mess on the floor, scold her, then pick up poo or pee, put on the paper let her smell. Then scold again, then cage her for punishment.

4th week.
Now fifi already house-broken. When open cage, will automatically go to paper to pee. After her breakfast, i let her roam free. I brush teeth, change clothes. When i finish, she'll got poo on the paper liao. Then i clean the poo, treats again loh.
Afte work, open cage, auto pee and poo, then treats loh.
Night, play time, auto pee and poo also.

There's one point i notice that, although fifi knows where to pee and poo, but she likes to pee and poo on clean surface. If the paper is wet or too dirty, she wont wanna pee or poo there. If i change it to a clean paper, she'll fast fast go pee and poo there.
I think shih tzu r harder to train, thats y takes almost a month. Hope that helps lah...
PS:Although many do not agree and i myself also heart-pain, but i do cane FIFI as punishment.

Re : Jackeiy0711
Bark ah, let him bark, bark as much as he wans to.Must not be soft-hearted lah....Ignore him like for 1/2 hour or 1 hour. Then only release him.
Thats wat i follow from the guide provided to me.
I thought got a puppy caring thread b4 gah....I actually follow wats discussed in there.


I feed her outside. I only cage her when I'm out, bed time or as punishment.
After meal, will wait for her to poo loh.....Sometimes really need to wait for an hour or so gah.....
Normally morning fifi for sure poo one. If noon she got poo, then dinner time, she may or may not poo.
