There is a puppy at your home. Prepare a place for him before his arrival. It should be the cozy nook placed not draughty, not on pass to not hinder the pup, when he sleeps. It is better, if it will be a comfortable basket or box with mattress with changeable pillowcase. Prepare the toys for him, better rubber, which are easy washed, but some pups like soft with a wad very much, it is possible to give them too, but carefully track, that the pup wouldn't eat a filling material (cotton or foam-rubber). The bonelets from bull veins well draw away from different pranks and bore. There is a great selection of them now. To give plastic toys is dangerous because of a capability swallowing of small-sized slices. Remove all small-sized subjects, electrical wires from the places accessible to the pup.

I advise to the buyers to buy a cage of a sufficient size. Hereinafter it will help you very much. It can be taken with yourself on the dog show, the dog will wait quietly for ring, not being overdriven, it is possible to take it in a trip, it is possible to bar a dog in it, when the visitors come to you. It is necessary to inure a puppy to a cage carefully to not advance steady hostility from the puppy, it should not be associated with punishment. The cage should become a little home, kennel, if want. For inuring it is possible to feed the pup in it, to give toys. Let it stands with the open door. And you will see soon, that your pup will arrange a place to himself there, will come there for rest and dream. My dogs go to bed in a cage two or three having curled up cosily, sometimes griffin perches on all of them at once.

It is expedient to not go for a walk with a pup the first 3-4 days after purchasing, even if he completely vaccinated, since he transfers some stress. He has been removed from a native nest. There are no mum, brothers and sisters, familiar and liked breeder. Besides the nutrition varies and the water, that is probably more relevant. The pup can get upset stomach at first 1-2 days. If it is expressed hardly, I advise to go to the veterinarian. Usually in one - two day all comes to the end. The behavior of the pup should be normal, without inactivity, waiving of a forage.

The first days and specially nights the pup can miss and cry. How much it will be prolonged, 1-2 days or more, nobody knows. How to calm him? Well, it is easier to take him to your bed, but it is practically impossible to disaccustom him from it. If you aren't categorically against a dog in your bed, do not torment yourselves and the pup. It is silly to struggle week, and then to put him with yourself. I want to say that about ninety percents of bulldogs sleep with their owners. It happens very funny, when, purchasing the pup, the people speak, that the pup will sleep only at his place, and a bit later they call and tell me, how he wheezes nicely close by them.

The small pups sleep very much. The sufficient and valuable sleep is indispensable for them as well as for children. Having seen, that the pup is tired and attempts to go to bed, you have to accurately carry him to his place. Explain to children that the pup grows and gets stronger during sleeping and it is not allowed to disturb him.

All new owners have problem, whether it is possible to wash the pup. The first days I categorically prohibit doing it. It is prohibited to wash the pup after vaccination too. And in general it needs to wash dogs on necessity, as the frequent washing dries a skin, the dandruff and scratches can appear, the dermal exchange is upset. If you think to wash a dog often, carefully select a mild neutral shampoo for animal, now there is a huge selection of them. During washing don't forget to close his ears by cotton plugs. It is permissible to wash pads and abdomen without soap after each walk.

I consider indispensable to remind how to take the pup in hands. It concerns to the pups of any breed, but allowing for the bulldog is small, but heavy dog, it is extremely important for him. Remember the pup needs to be raised, supporting one hand under a chest, other under a seat, or two hands having clasped a chest (not a abdomen). In no wise it is impossible to raise the pup by forelegs, as they have still weak ligaments for such weight. And certainly you shouldn't raise him for withers, such you can cause pain and also degrade him. It is necessary to descend from hands on a floor very accurately too, having put on all four pads. He should be barred from jumping off altitude, it can result in a trauma.
