Q. I heard that there was a certain type of dog/puppy food that fills there stomach but they poop less.anyone know?
A. Any of the premium brands of kibble that you will find at your local pet supply shop.
My favorite is Canidae,, as it is made from all human grade ingredients, and all ingredients are grown and processed in USA.
None of the kibbles at your grocer;s are worthy of feeding your dog..they all have fillers (poop!) and you end up paying for poop by the pound!
with the premium kibbles, there are no fillers, but only digestible nutritious ingredients.
The premium brands actually cost considerably less per month to feed..as the dogs eat less and waste (poop) less.
Other good brands are Wellness and Innova Evo (no grains)
when my large breed was eating Nutro Max, they each ate about a bag per month..Now I am feeding Canidae, and they each eat 1/2 bag per month (40 pound bags) So, I was paying for 20 pounds of poop per dog each month!

How often are you supposed to bath a dog/puppy?
Q. We recently got a Newfoundland/Bernese Mountain Dog puppy and I've been giving her a bath once a week because she loves to tromp around with our two boys and tends to get really dirty. But, my husband heard that you aren't supposed to bath a dog too often because it dries out their skin. So, my question is: How often is not too often?
A. Weekly bathing is not a problem as long as you are using an appropriate shampoo for dogs. If you dog does not having any types of skin issues, I wouldn't worry. Make sure that you are drying the coat thoroughly after bathing so that the skin does not suffer, and if possible, use a moisturizing shampoo.
If you notice flakes of dandruff & they are dry & tend to fall right off, then you are drying out the skin. If the flakes appear greasy & thick, she may have oily skin, or may be producing extra oil to compensate for the bathing.
In most cases, weekly bathing is not going to be a problem, but as a compromise, you can give her a 'dry bath'. There are many products available for this, it involves cleaning solution that is rubbed into the coat, but doesn't require water or rinsing.
Also, I have found for my dogs that a pet wipe works well between bathing. They are made especially for dogs & contain lanolin to help protect the coat, & have no alcohol (do not use baby wipes, which have alcohol & would dry out the coat & skin).

What supplies do I need if my dog has puppies?
Q. Im getting a dog. I want it to have puppies w/ my cousins dog.The type of dog is a Bichon Frise', if it makes a difference.
A. you will need a whelping box for the dog to have her puppies in, bulb syring for cleaning out the nose and mouth if the mother is slow at doing it or doesnt do it all, lots of towels and or blankets so you can keep changing them during the delivery process, a pair of scissors so you can cut the cord if the mother doesnt do it, string to tie off the cord before you cut it, bottles in case for some reason the momma cant nurse them, goats milk on hand, for the same reason, and i would also suggest you get some advise from an experianced breeder to get some helpful info before you breed cause anything can go wrong during the pregnancy and labor process, I hope this has helped and good luck with breeding and i wanted to let you know alot of people dont want to help other people start out at breeding,, but i see that people have to start somewhere, and i have no problem trying to help someone that wants to breed their dog but if your breeding for money then that is a bad reason to breed,, I hope i have helped and Happy Holidays,, if you have any other questions please feel free to email me
Edit:
I forgot to mention that you will need a set of baby scales to weigh the puppies from the day they are born and every day untill you place them with their new homes so you can make sure that they arent losing weight,
also another thing that i do for my puppies is that i get differant colors of collars so i can tell them apart and a journal book to wright down when the first one is born and so on and the weight for each one, identifying them by the collar
