Doesn't your pup comes with MKA cert?

I doubt you can register for an MKA cert if the pup does not originally comes with a cert.

Hi Everyone!
I just bought a GR last week,
I found 4 ticks on her yesterday, then I remove it asap!
Currently she is okay, can eat, play, pee, poo, jump~

There are some question that still finding asnwer,

I heard people said that GR is easy to get 热痱 (Re Fei)?
Then will need to shave her coat, is it correct way?
Or maybe it stay inside house will prevent this?

Is that possible that we bath, groom and cut her fur by self?
Not sending her to professional?

Do they need to bath every weeks?

How much water they need? Her pee is yellow most of the time.

She is 6 week old, I name her Candy

Hi,

Just sharing some knowledge that i have about GR

Yes, GR are prone to 热痱 (Re Fei) or hot spots due to their thick fur and also our weather here can cause it so make sure you check on your GR skin frequently for any hot spots
Here are some tips to treat them: http://www.petmd.com/dog/care/evr_hot_spot...ey#.Ufph9tKmi4E

Staying inside the house is of course much cooler and it might help a little but still you will need to keep an eye out for any excessive scratching from your puppy. I normally check my GRs when i bring them into my house during the day... they think it's playtime with all the rubbing and petting though . This link might help:

It is possible for you to groom your GR yourself- bath and combing your puppy. I myself don't send my dogs to the groomers for any cut cause I feel that they look best in their natural state with their fur.. but i do trim their fur if they get too long.. and my GRs loves to be groom and occasionally a short trim but this is up to you if you feel that you want a professional to do the cutting and all

My dogs bath once every two weeks or sometimes once a month, depending where they have been playing

One tip i receive from another GR owner, is that to watch the GR eye. If there is a lot of 'eye shit' then your dog is heaty. You can let her drink some coconut water to cool down her body. I give coconut water to my GRs too btw when it's too hot, or when their 'eye shit' gets alot. My GRs loves to drink cold coconut water . Then you can see their pee turn from yellow to very light yellow colour . You can also put a bowl of water for your puppy so that she can drink anytime. Just remember to change the water frequently

And lastly, have fun with your puppy, she's still very young, 6 weeks. Give her loads of attention and love cause definitely she will miss her mom. Make sure you give her good food and lots of loving and she will stick with you all the time and be your very best friend.

And more very important thing, since she is so young now, make sure she doesn't go and smell other dogs poop/shit when you take her out for walk. Her immune system is still weak so the dog poop may contain virus and all, so avoid them.

Have fun with your puppy

Didnt know that dog can drink coconut! going to buy one and let my boy try on it

Hahaha.. I also didn't know until my neighbour who is also a GR owner gave me the tip... but it is a very good tip... my GRs doesn't suffer from heaty issues anymore... and their pee isn't yellow anymore cause i give them coconut water when i see them getting alot of 'eye shit'

Hi, appreciate for your guide and helps.
It really important to me and I will mark it down.
Thanks!

Hi, No problem... just sharing what i know about GRs. And don't worry too much, have fun with your new puppy. You will learn more along the way. I know I still do

I feel that my GR puppy have Dandruff (头皮屑),
should I bring her to vet?

How about the coconut meat? Do you give your GR have it as well?

Maybe first what you can do is what happen before your dog has dandruff? did your dog eat something or use something that might have caused the dandruff?
but if you are really worried, by all means check with your vet... he/she might have a better solution.. i'm no expert

Nope, didn't give them the coconut meat... just the water..
I eat the coconut meat le... hahahahaa
