The 4 Steps


Edited by brooke, Jack Herrick, Cem, Tom Haight and 21 others
Miniature pinschers are a unique and wonderful breed of dog. However, like any other breed of dog, they have their own set of needs and requirements in order to grow healthily. Breed will be a very crucial determinant in how you will have to care for your dog.


  1. Care for a Miniature Pinscher Step 1.jpg
    1
    Recognize that these dogs need toys. Miniature pinschers love to chew, so give them something to chew on. Beef back rib bones are a good choice. They are decent nutrition and keep their teeth clean. They are inquisitive dogs, and like interactive toys. They like toys that squeak or talk.
  2. Care for a Miniature Pinscher Step 2.jpg

    Provide a warm blanket for these dogs that get cold easily. You may also want to invest in some dog clothing- little sweaters and jackets help on cold days or walks outside.
  3. Care for a Miniature Pinscher Step 3.jpg
    3
    Plan to be around. These dogs need companionship--they do not do well when left alone for long periods.
  4. Care for a Miniature Pinscher Step 4.jpg
    4
    Make sure you respond to their vocalizations and efforts to engage you--they get bored easily and then get naughty. They love to walk and chase a toy. Many miniature pinschers love the squeak toys. Sometimes they jump on little children, so be careful around young children. When caring for a miniature pinscher, make sure you socialize them at a young age, or else it is difficult to train them when they are older. These dogs get scared a lot when they are young, so do not let them go and meet other people a lot when they do not want to. They shake when they are scared.

Ngoại ký sinh trên thú cưng_Giải pháp của Bayer

Khi thú cưng có các biểu hiện gãi ngứa, chà xát cơ thể, rụng lông, mùi hôi…. thì nguyên nhân gây ra các biểu hiện trên có thể là: ve (tick), bọ chét (flea), rận (biting louse), ghẻ tai do Otodectes cynotis, bệnh xà mâu (Demodicosis), bệnh ghẻ do Sarcoptes. Các ngoại kí sinh này có thể phát tán mầm bệnh, gây nguy hiểm cho thú nuôi và con người.
A. ĐẶC ĐIỂM CỦA MỘT SỐ NGOẠI KÝ SINH
1. VE
  • Có nhiều loài ve ký sinh trên chó, thường thấy nhất là loài ve Rhipicephalus sanguineus, hình quả lê và màu nâu đen, chiều dài ve từ 3 – 4,5 mm (khi chưa hút máu), khi hút máu no kích thước cơ thể ve tăng lên nhiều lần.
  • Xảy ra trên mọi lứa tuổi.
  • Truyền nhiều bệnh khác nhau khi hút máu kí chủ.
  • Ve tồn tại ở bốn dạng: trứng, ấu trùng, nhộng và trưởng thành.
Vòng đời của ve
Triệu chứng:
  • Thấy ve bám ở trong và ngoài vành tai, vùng cổ, kẽ ngón chân.
  • Ve bám đầy cơ thể.
  • Bỏ ăn.
  • Gãi, gặm, liếm, cào cấu thường xuyên.
  • Mất máu, da tái nhợt, cơ thể ốm yếu, da lông xù xì.
Tác hại của ve:
  • Hút máu
  • Truyền nhiều bệnh kí sinh trùng máu nguy hiểm như bệnh Lyme, Ehrlichiosis (bệnh biên trùng), và Babesiosis (bệnh lê dạng trùng)
  • Tổn thương da
  • Gây dị ứng
  • Thiếu máu, thậm chí chết thú.
  • Đặc biệt, ve cái Ixodes holocyclus ở Australia gây bệnh bại liệt trên vật chủ bằng cách truyền độc tố có trong nước bọt của chúng. Độc tố của một con ve Ixodes holocyclus đủ làm bại liệt một con chó.
2. BỌ CHÉT
  • Bọ chét là côn trùng không cánh, sống trên da vật chủ (động vật có vú và chim), có phần miệng sắc nhọn hút máu từ ký chủ.
  • Cơ thể bọ chét dài từ 1,5-1,6 mm nhưng có thể nhảy cao 18 cm; xa 33 cm - gấp khoảng 200 lần chiều dài thân của chúng.
  • Chúng có mặt ở khắp các châu lục.
  • Truyền bệnh dịch.
  • Bọ chét chết trong vòng 24h nếu không có kí chủ.
Vòng đời của bọ chét
Triệu chứng:
  • Thấy bọ chét bám trên lông chó
  • Nốt sần sau khi bọ chét đốt.
  • Chó biểu hiện ngứa, tự tổn thương
  • Gãy lông, đóng vảy, rụng lông đặc biệt vùng lưng.
  • Trên mèo: xù xì ở vùng lưng.
Tác hại của bọ chét:
  • Gây viêm da dị ứng trên chó
  • Thiếu máu (một con bọ chét cái trung bình một ngày hút khoảng 13,6 micro lít máu).
  • Truyền sán dây Dipylidium caninumBartonella henselae (gây bệnh gãi ngứa mèo), Cheyletiellosis (bệnh gàu), pediculosis (bệnh rận), bệnh ghẻ tai do Octodectes, Scabies, và Babesiosis.
  • Bọ chét chuột có thể truyền bệnh dịch hạch cho người
3. RẬN
  • Rận là côn trùng không cánh. Rận cào da và ăn những vảy da, vài loài ăn chất tiết và hút máu.
  • Cả vòng đời của rận đều xảy ra trên vật chủ, tất cả những giai đoạn từ trứng đến trưởng thành đều diễn ra trên lông của chó. Lây truyền chủ yếu qua tiếp xúc trực tiếp.
  • Chó sống ở ngoài môi trường rất dễ nhiễm rận. Những con chó ít được vệ sinh sạch sẽ, chó già, chó non hoặc chó ốm yếu thường nhiễm rận với mật độ cao.
Triệu chứng:
  • Ngứa, tự gây tổn thương.
  • Rụng lông, gãy lông.
  • Mụn mủ, đóng vảy, tiết dịch.
  • Suy nhược và biếng ăn trên chó.
  • Thiếu máu có thể xảy ra khi nhiễm nhiều rận.
Tác hại của rận:
  • Gây ngứa ngáy dữ dội, tự làm tổn thương
  • Truyền bệnh sán dây Dipylidium caninum
  • Gây viêm biểu bì, viêm bao lông
  • Chó rụng nhiều lông
4. BỆNH XÀ MÂU (GHẺ DO DEMODEX GÂY RA)
  • Bệnh xà mâu (Demodiosis ) do Demodex canis gây ra.
  • Gây nguy hiểm đến sự sống của chó
  • Mèo hiếm khi mắc bệnh Demodex. Tuy nhiên, bệnh viêm da do Demodex có thể xảy ra ở mèo mọi lứa tuổi.
  • Ghẻ Demodex được truyền từ chó mẹ nuôi con sang chó con, trong vài ngày đầu bú sữa.
  • Trên chó trưởng thành, ghẻ Demodex thường xuất hiện khi hệ thống miễn dịch của cơ thể suy yếu.
  • Vài giống chó rất dễ mắc bệnh Demodiosis như Weimaraner và English Bulldog.
Triệu chứng: thường có 2 dạng khu trú (từng vùng) và toàn thân.
  • Dạng khu trú: Ngứa và tự gây tổn thương, rụng lông, đóng vảy, đỏ da thường xuất hiện ở vùng đầu (mặt, quanh mắt hay chân trước hoặc cả chân sau).
  • Dạng toàn thân: Vùng tổn thương lớn, hoặc toàn bộ cơ thể, có thể xuất hiện mụn mủ, rụng lông từng mảng, tình trạng bệnh nguy hiểm hoặc rất khó điều trị, có thể gây chết.
Hậu quả do bệnh xà mâu:
  • Da dày lên, đóng vảy, lông gãy
  • Viêm da gây đau đớn
  • Nhiễm trùng thứ cấp do vi khuẩn, huỷ hoại nang lông.
  • Bệnh do Demodex toàn thân rất khó điều trị, trong vài trường hợp, chỉ có thể kiểm soát được sự lây nhiễm nhưng rất khó điều trị triệt để. Bệnh do Demodex toàn thân rất trầm trọng trên thú, có thể dẫn đến chết.
5. BỆNH GHẺ TAI DO OTODECTES CYNOTIS
  • Bệnh ghẻ tai phổ biến trên chó và mèo. Ước tính có khoảng 50% trường hợp nhiễm trùng tai ngoài trên chó và 85% trường hợp trên mèo do ghẻ Otodectes cynotisgây nên.
  • Ghẻ Otodectes cynotis có thể sống nhiều tháng bên ngoài vật chủ, cư trú ở bề mặt tai và thường nhìn thấy như đốm trắng nhỏ, di động.
  • Lây lan qua sự tiếp xúc trực tiếp với thú bệnh.
Triệu chứng:
  • Nhiễm Otodectes cynotis thường xảy ra ở tai ngoài và có ráy tai màu nâu đi kèm.
  • Ngứa: biểu hiện là gãi tai và tự gây tổn thương. Loa tai và ống tai có thể bị xuất huyết.
Hậu quả của bệnh ghẻ tai do Otodectes cynotis:
  • Nhiều ráy tai màu nâu hơi đen.
  • Tai viêm tấy
  • Viêm nhiễm ở vùng da quanh tai.
6. BỆNH GHẺ DO SARCOPTES
  • Bệnh ghẻ do Sarcoptes gây ra bởi Sarcoptes scabiei rất dễ lây nhiễm và có nhiều loài chuyên biệt khác nhau ở những vật chủ khác nhau; trên chó là Sarcoptes scabiei var canis.
  • Lây truyền qua tiếp xúc trực tiếp, có thể lây cho người.
Triệu chứng:
  • Ngứa dữ dội, rụng lông, cào cấu gây tổn thương ở da, da nhăn nheo và dầy lên (còn gọi là bệnh “da voi”).
  • Rụng lông, nổi mụn, đỏ da, thường bắt đầu ở mắt, mõm, khuỷu sau hoặc vùng cùi chỏ.
  • Có thể gây bệnh trầm trọng, biếng ăn, mất đề kháng và cuối cùng chết.
 B. GIẢI PHÁP PHÒNG VÀ TRỊ NGOẠI KÍ SINH CỦA BAYER
  • Giữ chó sạch và kiểm soát môi trường
  • Cắt tỉa cành cây và bụi cây xung quanh các cạnh sân cỏ để ánh sáng mặt trời chiếu rọi nhiều hơn
  • Ngăn cản hoạt động của loài gặm nhấm
  • Không cho chó và mèo chui vào bụi rậm, rừng rậm
  • Dùng thuốc trị ve, bọ chét để phòng và trị cho chó, mèo
  • Dùng thuốc diệt côn trùng để xử lí môi trường (nơi chó nghỉ ngơi, nhà ở, sân chơi...) với mục đích ngăn chặn ve, bọ chét tấn công thú cưng
1. Phòng và trị ve, bọ chét, rận
 
2. Phòng và trị bọ chét, rận, ghẻ do Demodex, ghẻ Sarcoptes, ghẻ tai, giun đường tiêu hóa và phòng giun tim

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about a Miniature Pinscher

Source:
http://www.minpin.org/gen_info_files/everything.pdf


1. WHERE DO THEY COME FROM?
It is believed that the Miniature Pinscher evolved from the ancient German Pinscher family of dogs,
which ultimately produced a number of the breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club (AKC)
today. In 1836 Dr. H. G. Reinchenbach, a German writer, stated the Miniature Pinscher is a cross of
the Dachshund and the Italian Greyhound. This conclusion of Dr. Reinchenbach is now generally
accepted by historians and those who have researched the background of the breed. In any event,
Germany is undisputed as the home of origin, where the Miniature Pinscher was known as the "Reh
Pinscher" due to its resemblance to a small red deer, the Reh, which freely roamed the German
forests many years ago.

2. ARE THEY BRED DOWN DOBERMAN PINSCHERS?
Absolutely not. In fact, the Miniature Pinscher is the older of these two breeds, as it was not until 1890
that Louis Dobermann bred his first Doberman Pinscher. Mr. Dobermann stated he wished to breed
"...a giant terrier that would look much like the five pound Reh Pinscher (our Miniature Pinscher) but
that would be fifteen times heavier and larger."

3. IS THERE A MINIATURE PINSCHER CLUB?
Yes! The Miniature Pinscher Club of America was formed and recognized by AKC in 1929.
Additionally, there are thirteen "local" Miniature Pinscher Clubs which are spread throughout the
United States. The National Parent Club, "MPCA" holds an annual Specialty Show between March 1
and June 30 of each year, with a rotating location. This annual Specialty Show has become a 2 day
event and includes Puppy Sweepstakes, Regular Conformation showing and Obedience Competition.
As of 1998 the Entry in the MPCA National Specialty has grown to well over 300. Each member of
MPCA receives the Official Publication called "The Pinscher Patter", which is mailed quarterly and is
a wealth of information on the Breed.

4. WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?
The Miniature Pinscher is a small, compact dog who is not under 10" and not over 12 1/2" at the
shoulder blades. The 1990 Reformatted Official Breed Standard of the Miniature Pinscher Club of
America allows for the Miniature Pinscher to be the following colors only: Red, Stag - Red, Black and
Rust, and Chocolate and Rust. The dog should appear well balanced, sturdy and short - coupled, with
a smooth, hard, short and lustrous coat. When the dog moves, it is distinguished by its "Hackney -
Like" gait and lively animated attitude.

5. HOW DO THEY ACT?
A well - bred and properly socialized Miniature Pinscher is quite simply a "character". Spending only a
few minutes with one makes it immediately apparent that these dogs really earn their title "King of
Toys". You will find the Min Pin to be fearless, animated, intensely curious and always full of vim and
vigor. Breeders have been quoted as saying "It's like living with a roomful of toddlers who never grow
up" and "This is not a beginner's breed". Because of their high energy levels and inquisitiveness, the
Min Pin bears close watching. They need to investigate everything and will go to great lengths to do
so - which includes being "escape artists". You should find dynamite in a small package or something
is wrong. Rarely does anyone own "just one" as they seem to grow on you and accumulate. Plan to
spend many a night when you turn off the TV because your Min Pins are putting on a much better,and funnier, show.

6. ARE THEY GOOD WITH KIDS?
Yes and No. If the Miniature Pinscher is raised around children who treat them in a gentle way and
are taught responsible dog ownership, they will adore children. However, if children are allowed to
grab at them, hit them or treat them roughly in any way, the Min Pin will run from a child. It is
important to realize that even as a full grown adult, the Miniature Pinscher is a very small dog. The
wrong type of play and handling can easily result in broken bones and worse. Even though the Min
Pin is a bundle of energy and will bounce from sofa to chair to floor to bed . . . dropping one from that
same sofa can easily result in unnecessary injury. Always let the Min Pin approach the child, not the
other way around and you should have a wonderful companion. Patience, love and good old common
sense make a great recipe for raising a Miniature Pinscher with children - or adults.

7. ARE THEY GOOD OBEDIENCE DOGS?
Yes! With a knowledgeable and persistent trainer, the Miniature Pinscher can excel in obedience.
Depending on their mood on any particular day, they can also leave onlookers and even their owner
in stitches with their antics. As typical of the Min Pin personality, the more a crowd laughs, the more
they will dis-perform! However, they definitely have their serious moments in the obedience ring and
many have earned the highest obedience ratings and tiles possible.

8. HOW DO I TAKE CARE OF THEM?
Because the Miniature Pinscher has a short coat, the grooming element is minimal. It is necessary to
give them a good, brisk brushing every few days to ensure a clean, shiny coat. Toenails need to be
trimmed at least every 2 weeks to avoid having them grow too long and cause nail-trimming to
become nail-cutting: a very unpleasant experience for dog and owner. Frequent bathing is
discouraged as it tends to dry out the coat. It is better to take a warm, damp washcloth, using plain
water, and wipe the dog down. Begin with the face, paying particular attention to the area under the
eyes, and work back towards the tail. Done every few days, this will keep your dog clean and healthy.
Make sure your dog is completely dry before a trip outside.
Because of the natural tendency of the Miniature Pinscher to investigate everything, it is absolutely
essential that protective measures are taken in several areas. First, do not leave small objects laying
on table tops where your Min Pin can get to them. This includes paper clips, coins, lipstick, pens, etc.
Be scrupulously careful to never leave any medication out and be sure to retrieve any pill or capsule
you may ever drop on the floor. Otherwise you may quickly find yourself in the emergency room of
your veterinarian, with your Min Pin who found it first. Secondly, you must go over every inch of any
yard or outdoor space your Min Pin will have access to. If you find any hole or opening big enough to
put your hand through - your Min Pin will find a way to fit through also. Fix it immediately. Additionally,
make sure that any doors or windows in your home which are opened onto an area other than your
secured yard have an extra screen, beyond what you normally have. Nothing is sadder than losing a
Min Pin because he or she slipped out under your legs while you were signing for a package. Every
Breeder knows of this inherent danger and will gladly show you how to install special screens on
doors and windows to prevent this from happening. It is strongly advised that you purchase several of
the books which are recommended for additional tips on caring for your Miniature Pinscher.

9. WHAT DO THEY EAT?
While the exact quantity may have to be adjusted according to specific needs, a rule of thumb follows:
- Growing puppies need about one half to one ounce of dry, premium dog food per pound of bodyweight every day. This is distributed throughout 3 to 4 meals, depending on the age of the puppy.
- Adult dogs need less: One fourth to one - half ounce of dry dog food per pound of body weight every
day. Adult dogs can usually eat just one meal per day.
In addition to the dry dog food, a small amount of canned dog food can be added. If your are using
quality dry and canned food, a good ratio is 2/3 dry and 1/3 canned. Nutritional supplements should
not be necessary if your dog foods are of the premium variety.
At the time of actual possession, should you purchase a Miniature Pinscher, the Breeder will give you
specific instructions on how to feed your particular dog. You should be sent home with at least one
week's worth of the food your puppy has been eating so the dog suffers no transition in his/her diet.
This gives you plenty of time to buy a normal supply of food along with the type of bowl your new
puppy is accustomed to eating from.
At the same time, the Breeder will send home with you a record showing the immunizations your pup
has received and will explain exactly what others are needed, if any.
Although it would be most unusual for these things not to be automatically supplied, it might happen.
In such an event - ask for them. In regards to the shot record, never accept any puppy that is not
accompanied by a record of all immunizations and the dates they were given.

10. WHAT ABOUT BREEDING THEM?
The Miniature Pinscher Club of America clearly states in the Constitution and By Laws in Article 1,
Section 2, subsection (a) ". . . to encourage and promote quality in the breeding of pure - bred
Miniature Pinschers and to do all possible to bring their natural qualities to perfection." Before you
even consider breeding Miniature Pinschers you must give careful thought to the endless amount of
responsibilities you are taking on. There is a responsibility imposed by AKC on every Breeder to keep
full and accurate records of all litters and the dispensation of all animals owned by you. This is not to
be taken lightly, as AKC now has Authorized Representatives who have the right to come to your
door and ask to see your records, your dogs (each of which must be in possession of something
which identifies that particular dog - such as a tattoo) and the facilities you provide for your dogs.
Following the objective set out by the MPCA Constitution and By&endash;Laws as stated above
means the only valid reason for breeding is to improve the Breed. For this to be accomplished it is
necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the Breed and the Approved Breed Standard, followed by
careful research and study of the ancestry of the the bitch and the stud dog. Personal knowledge of
both animals is preferable, as breeding any animal with poor temperament - regardless of the merit of
all other characteristics - is absolutely discouraged. Never breed with the intention of earning money,
as breeding quality Miniature Pinschers is strictly a labor of love, and an expensive one. Ask any
reputable Min Pin Breeder and they will verify that. If you are devoted to the Miniature Pinscher as a
Breed and desire to spend copious amounts of time and money so as to breed for quality only - then
you might begin talking to other, established Miniature Pinscher Breeders for more detailed
information. Breeding is something to be taken very seriously. Please avail yourself of several of the
books for recommended reading before you even think of breeding.

11. WHERE DO I GET ONE?
Whether you desire a pet or a show prospect, you will obtain your Miniature Pinscher from the same
place - a Professional Miniature Pinscher Breeder. Professional Breeders are striving to breed quality
animals who will adhere as closely as possible to the Official Standard of the Breed. During this
process, it is common to have a litter which has some puppies that for one reason or another are not
show quality. These pups will be placed in homes seeking companion pets. It is stronglyrecommended,but not required, that these puppies be spayed/neutered prior to placement in their
new homes. The logic being that if an animal is not of sufficient quality to compete in the show ring, it
is not of sufficient quality to enhance the breed.
Professional Breeders have spent years with the Miniature Pinschers and are a wealth of information.
Rare indeed is the Breeder who is not eager to talk endlessly about his/her dogs. Also, a Professional
Breeder will give you many more specific details about the care and maintenance of your dog than
you could find in any reading material. Since the Professional Breeder is always interested in the
welfare of his/her animals, you will be encouraged to keep in touch as more questions arise while
your puppy grows into adulthood. The Miniature Pinscher Club of America has a Breeder Referral
Service. The people listed with the Service are all members of MPCA and are located throughout the
United States as well as several foreign countries. This service is free from MPCA. Please use it.

12. DO I WANT TO OWN ONE?
Although the information provided here is specific to the Miniature Pinscher, it is by no means
conclusive. It is highly recommended that prior to the purchase of a Miniature Pinscher you do
several things: Attend as many dog shows as possible and after the judging is over spend time talking
with the Breeders and Exhibitors. As the purchase of a life long companion or potential show prospect
is a major expense, spend the few dollars to buy some, if not all, of the books listed as recommended
reading. Read and study the material and talk this over seriously with anyone else who will be
involved with your dog.
A Miniature Pinscher who is well cared for and properly socialized is a delight to own and will live well
into its teens. This is a very long term commitment which can be consummately rewarding if the
decision is informed and well thought out. Armed with advance planning and education your decision
will be the right one. Hopefully the information provided here will enable you to decide if the "King of
Toys" is meant to "Rule" in your home - and act as the resident "Court Jester" more often than not.
