小高加索狗, 怎么養?
我找到了幾個國外高加索犬場的論壇, 里面有幾篇文章不錯的, 但都是英文. 我選了幾篇. 分別是關于喂養, 訓練和免疫的. 文章較長, 先翻譯一個有關喂養的. 供大家參考. 高姐, 這文章里一些和你以前帖子有出入的概念你也批判地看看啊, 集思廣益么, 呵呵, 一切為了高加索.
有外文好的愛高的銅子們, 有空都去找些文章翻譯了貼上來啊. 有關高加索現在流行很多理念的, 都拿來這里討論一下, 總會找到最合適的我們國家具體情況的. 論養高咱跟俄羅斯是比不了了, 總不能輸給別的國家啊.
另外銅子們, 由于該文章是本人翻譯的, 大家如果有喜歡的或者轉載的,請注明是轉自本論壇.
最好的企業賣的是理念, 最好的犬場也不能光賣狗的. 高姐, 這樣大家討論討論, 你要是有空就整理整理, 加些具體的喂養,訓練案例就是本書啦. 有自己的書那可就又和別的犬場不一樣了.
"BARF" stands for "bones - and - raw - food." We highly recommend two fascinating and important books written by veterinarian Dr. Ian Billinghurst: Give Your Dog a Bone and Grow Your Pups on Bones. Now there is a new book by Billinghurst: The BARF Diet. Here at Courageous Caucasians, we try to follow this philosophy almost exclusively. Although we do h***e a good-quality dry dog food on hand (for those days when I'm in a hurry or just plain lazy), pups up to two years of age and pregnant or nursing moms always get raw meat, bones and/or vegetables for their meals. During the cold months of winter/early spring, our dogs feed on the carcass of an animal that has died - a frail calf, cow that has died in childbirth, etc., a "smorga***ord" of the most natural food of all.
“BARF”是“骨頭以及生食”的英文首字母縮寫。我們向你強烈推薦澳大利亞博士艾恩.畢林格赫斯特的兩本著作《給你的狗骨頭》以及《用骨頭喂養你的小狗》。現在艾恩博士又寫了一本新書——《BARF食譜》。現在我們就專門運用此書的觀點談一談高加索犬的喂養。盡管我們手頭有質量很好的干狗糧以備我忙的時候或者是懶的時候之需,但是兩年以內的小犬以及懷孕或者喂奶的母犬我們都會給它們喂生肉,骨頭以及蔬菜。在寒冷的冬季或者初春的時候我們會給它們喂食動物的尸體,這包括一些虛弱的牲口和一出生就死亡的牛之類,就好象是最自然的食品所組成的自助餐。
As ranchers say around these parts, "As long as there is a dead animal around, I don't feed my dogs." Does this seem crude to some of you "city folks"? Let me tell you there is nothing more natural. The stomach contents are not just run through a food processor, they are just as a wild dog, coyote or wolf would eat - digested by the prey animal itself. The exercise of pulling, gnawing and ripping the meat and crunching the bones is great for building and maintaining muscle tone, again, as nature intended. Never are coats so shiny or teeth so white as when feasting on a downed animal.
就好象我們這附近的農場主所說的那樣“只要附近有動物的尸體,我就不會喂我的狗。”這話對你們這些城里人來說是不是太殘酷了?但是我告訴你沒有比這更自然的事了。它們胃里的食物并不只是像食品加工機里的一樣,它們吃動物尸體就好象野狗,狼和郊狼吃其他獵物一樣自然,甚至和他們的獵物吃其他的東西維持生存一樣的自然。拖咬,咀嚼,撕碎肌肉,咬碎骨頭對狗的肌肉的生成和保持都是不可或缺的鍛煉。而且,很自然的,如果狗是靠死去的動物來喂養的,那么它們的皮毛會非常的油亮,牙齒也會健康雪白。
In fact, the BARF diet is what dogs h***e eaten for several hundred thousand years!
How old to start a puppy on the BARF diet? Our pups are weaned on chicken wings and necks. At 3-1/2 weeks old, the puppies get to gnaw on and fight over them. They also get raw lamburger or hamburger mixed in with shredded raw veggies or fruits, various natural supplements (cod liver oil, kelp, brewers yeast, etc., etc.) moistened with raw milk. Their mom, still nursing her puppies, eats the left-overs.
事實上,所謂的“BARF食譜”正是所有的狗數十萬年來的主食。從什么時候開始給小狗喂養“BARF食譜”呢? 我們的小狗從小時候開始就會喂一些雞翅膀和雞脖子(生的)。在三個半周的時候,小狗們就開始爭搶咬碎這些雞翅和雞脖子了。我們也會喂它們生的漢堡或者已漢堡混雜生的蔬菜和水果碎塊,同時我們也喂食一些混合了牛奶的自然的食品以補充營養(鱘魚肝油,褐藻以及啤酒用酵母,等等,等等)。她們的母親也會繼續喂養它們,同時也能吃些它們吃剩的上述食物。
Since the 1930's the health of the dog in the western world has gradually declined. This decline in health, particularly the skeletal health of pups and the reproductive health of their parents, has paralleled marked changes in two vital aspects of canine management: Firstly, our dogs h***e suffered an unprecedented change in their eating habits with the introduction of commercial dog food. Secondly, there has been a gradual change in the sort of exercise our dogs h***e been allowed. Our dogs' exercise which used to consist of free running over large areas, play and eating exercise, has gradually changed to forced and inappropriate exercise together with a complete lack of eating exercise. This quote is from Dr. Ian Billinghurst from his book Grow Your Pups On Bones.
“從上世紀三十年代開始,西方世界的狗的體質就開始緩慢下降。這種體質方面的下降,尤其表現在小狗的骨架方面和大狗的繁殖能力上面。這種體質下降也是和狗的馴養方面的兩個致命的改變密切相關的:首先,我們的狗開始經歷前所未有的飲食上的改變,主要就是商業犬糧的廣泛使用;第二,我們的狗以前的訓練包括了在很大的范圍內自由奔跑,玩耍和獵食訓練,但是現在的狗卻只能進行被迫的不適當的訓練,至于獵食訓練則完全缺失了。”以上就是引用自艾恩博士的著作《用骨頭喂養你的小狗》。
Commercial dog food cannot even begin to duplicate the dog's natural diet, and should never be regarded as complete and adequate.
商業犬糧不應該開始作為自然犬糧的替代品,而且商業犬糧永遠都不應被認作是營養完善充足的狗糧。
Reasons: Commercial dog food is...
· Based on grain and low-quality ingredients,
· Low in digestibility and nutritional value,
· Cooked with extremely harsh methods which destroys vitamins, enzymes and anti-oxidants and changes nutrients into unusable forms,
· Contains chemical preservatives, rancid and/or damaged fats and other toxins,
· Contains excessive amounts of calcium, protein, salt, fat and calories,
· Deficient in essential fatty acids,
· Does not allow for the eating exercise which is important for maintaining the skeletal and muscular systems, in short, a whole-body exercise.
原因如下,商業犬糧:
1.主要成分是谷物以及另外一些低質的成分。
2.在營養方面和可消化方面價值低下。
3.由于是用最快的方法煮熟的,其中的維生素,酶和抗氧化物都被破壞了,營養元素也被破壞成了無法被吸收的結構。
4.含有化學殘留,腐壞的油脂和脂肪以及其他的可致病的毒素。
5.含有過量的鈣,蛋白質,鹽和卡路里。
6.重要的脂肪酸含量不足。
7.剝奪了犬的進食訓練,而這種進食訓練對于犬的骨骼和肌肉生長都十分重要。
Regarding cooked food, Billinghurst concludes, "When food is cooked, it retains sufficient nutrients to keep your dog alive with no obvious immediate problems. It does not, however, allow your dog to h***e a long, healthy, trouble-free life. Cooked or commercial dog food is responsible for much ill health including cancer, kidney disease, heart disease, arthritis, pancreatic disease, etc. In short, dogs fed on cooked foods live shorter, less healthy, more miserable lives.
關于煮熟的事物,畢林格赫斯特總結如下:“喂煮熟的食品可以為你所喂養的狗提供足夠生存所需的營養,也不會有明顯的即時的問題產生。但是這樣卻會使你的狗無法享受長壽的,健康的,無病無災的一生。煮熟的食品或者商業犬糧是很多健康問題的罪魁,它們可能會導致包括癌癥,腎病,心臟病在內的很多疾病。總之,以熟食為生的狗壽命更短,身體更差生活也更悲慘。
NEVER, NEVER feed your dog COOKED bones!!! Cooked bones are extremely dangerous. Cooked bones are the ones that are most likely to be caught in the mouth, to pierce the intestines, to set like concrete in the large bowel. Cooked bones can be potentially fatal to dogs. Raw bones, on the other hand, are digested and contain the essential minerals in natural form.
永遠,永遠喂你的狗吃煮熟的骨頭!!!煮熟的骨頭是尤其危險的。煮熟的骨頭更可能卡在嘴里,刺穿食道,影響排便。煮熟的骨頭是狗的潛在的指明的威脅。但是另一方面,生骨頭就易于消化,并且以自然的方式為狗提供了生長所需的重要的礦物質。
An added BONUS: Your dogs will h***e the cleanest, whitest teeth without brushing! I used to think -- "Yeah, right. How can bones clean teeth?" But proof is in the pudding. One day my hu***and Jim told me, "You know, I never really thought about it before, but Czara's teeth look as pearly white as a puppy's." And she's eight years old and has never had her teeth brushed. Now, when we do feed dry dog food, I notice my dogs' teeth getting a bit dingy looking. Not to worry. Just switch back to BARF, and after a few days of eating raw meaty bones, they're clean again.
另外的好處就是你的狗會擁有最整潔最白亮的牙齒而不需要刷牙。我也曾經想——“骨頭是怎樣清潔牙齒的呢?”但是事實勝于雄辯。一天我丈夫吉姆告訴我:“我以前還從來沒有注意到呢,Czara的牙齒白得像珍珠,就和小狗一樣干凈。”
但是它都已經八歲大了并且從來沒有刷過牙。現在,我們也喂它們吃干狗糧,我注意到我的狗的牙齒看上去有一點點臟。但是不用擔心,只要換回去喂BARF,吃過幾天生的帶肉的骨頭之后,牙齒就又會干凈了。
How often to feed? Billinghurst mentions that dogs fed on a raw, natural diet often do not cr***e food the way the commercially fed dogs do, are more satisfied with their meals and do not require their food to arrive as frequently. An increasing number of dog owners whose dogs are started on whole raw foods find that they only need to feed their dogs every second or third day. And these dogs are magnificently healthy and happy.
多久喂食一次呢?畢林格赫斯特提到喂食生的,自然食品的狗不像喂食商業狗糧的那樣渴求食物,它們每一餐都吃得很好很滿意而不需要頻繁地喂食。越來越多的給自己的狗喂食生食的犬主發現他們只要每隔兩天甚至三天喂食一次。而這些狗都成長得又健康又快樂。
A regular fast of one to two days duration every couple weeks will help keep your dog a lean, mean machine. For pups, limit the fast to skipping a meal or fasting for a 12 hour period, every one or two weeks. (Fasting is good for people, too.)
每兩周就有規律地停喂一到兩天有助于保持狗苗條良好的狀態。對于小狗,則要把這樣每隔一兩周的停喂減到只是停喂一頓或者是停喂十二小時。(停食對于人來說也是有利的)
Billinghurst's Ten Secrets of Successful Puppy Rearing:
畢林格赫斯特成功喂養小狗的十個秘訣:
· First Secret: Heaps of raw meaty bones -- 60-80% of total food intake
· Second Secret: Grow your pup slowly, lean and slightly hungry, not at maximum growth rate.
· Third Secret: Feed your pup a wide variety of natural foods.
· Fourth Secret: Feed your pup mostly raw foods.
· Fifth Secret: Feed your pup foods suitable for growth, high in good-quality protein, fats, vitamins and minerals.
· Sixth Secret: Do not base the diet of your pup on raw steak, commercial dog food and calcium supplements.
· Seventh Secret: The only exercise allowed is play (and eating exercise).
· Eight Secret: H***e your pup spend most of his day outside in the fresh air on clean earth and grass, in the sun, with ample fresh water ***ailable.
· Ninth Secret: Diet balanced over time, not by providing balance in every meal.
· Tenth Secret: Is a puppy raised with love, resulting in a strong immune system, a puppy that is "watched," and fed according to his weight, condition and general health.
1. 切換到喂食生的帶肉的骨頭——要占到總食糧的60%——80%。
2. 讓你的小狗緩慢地,苗條地稍微帶些饑餓感地成長,不要讓它們以最快的速度生長。
3. 給小狗喂食種類繁多的自然食品。
4. 基本上給小狗喂食生食。
5. 給你的小狗喂食對適合生長的食物,富含高質量的蛋白質,脂肪維生素和礦物質。
6. 不要主要給小狗喂食生的牛排,商業狗糧和鈣片。
7. 對小狗來說唯一適合的訓練就是玩耍(或者還有進食訓練)
8. 讓你的狗大多數時間都呆在室外,呼吸新鮮空氣,在干凈的土地上和草地上玩耍,享受充足的光照,同時保證其有充足的水源補充。
9. 總的來說喂養的食品要營養均衡,但不是每一頓都要追求營養均衡。
10. 如果一個 小狗在充滿愛心的環境下成長,那么它會擁有更強的免疫力。要關注你的 小狗,要根據它的體重,身體條件和健康狀況來喂養你的小狗
如何養好你的高犬 合理的飼養高加索犬,對于高加索犬的生長發育有極大的作用,由于高加索犬是寒帶犬種,對于高蛋白食物需求和吸收能力略強于其它犬種,一般性的商品狗糧不能滿足其需求,目前沒有專門為高加索犬配制的配方狗糧,進口的高檔犬糧價格太高,動輒十幾元幾十元一市斤。因此,從成本核算的角度看,可以在飼喂一般質量犬糧的同時增加一些肉蛋奶類食物,額外添加的肉蛋奶和犬糧的比例可以達到1:1。對于自制狗食的飼養者,應該考慮營養的均衡,以玉米粉為主的食物里要適量添加肉和蔬菜,并注意微量元素和鈣質的補充以及鈣磷的平衡等等。 另外根據我們的試驗結果,幼犬從三個月開始,采用自由采食的方式飼喂,長期足量使用“搜狗犬糧”或李世安老師研制的“安犬福”犬糧,也可以達到非常好的效果。 幼犬自出生20天起可以添加狗糧、奶粉、雞蛋黃等食物,狗糧一定要用溫水泡軟成糊狀,每天喂6頓,少食多餐,并同時注意觀察糞便情況,以決定食量的增減,幼犬40-50天的時候考慮斷奶,這時候食物的量應增加,并且加一些肉類動物蛋白;60天以后的幼犬可以吃干狗糧,飼喂次數也逐漸減少;90天以后食物可以相對“粗糙”一點,并隨時注意補鈣。高加索犬不是運動型的犬種,大塊頭不一定有大食量,過量的食物會造成肥胖,以及腸胃問題,適量的高質量的食物是必須的!對于三個月以上的高加索犬,既可以采用定時定量的方式飼喂,也可以放一盆干狗糧,采用自由采食的方式飼喂,或者兩者結合。高加索犬在夏季會適當減食,因此夏季更應該飼喂高質量的食物,并且把喂食的時間安排在涼爽的早晚。 關于生肉骨的飼喂和俄羅斯應該有些不同,俄羅斯屬寒帶地區,生肉骨寄生蟲較少,我國地處溫帶亞熱帶,生肉骨的寄生蟲較多,因此,飼喂生肉骨時必須經過冷凍的過程,足夠長時間的冷凍才能殺死生肉骨中的寄生蟲。 合理的飼養高加索犬,對于高加索犬的生長發育有極大的作用,由于高加索犬是寒帶犬種,對于高蛋白食物需求和吸收能力略強于其它犬種,一般性的商品狗糧不能滿足其需求,目前沒有專門為高加索犬配制的配方狗糧,進口的高檔犬糧價格太高,動輒十幾元幾十元一市斤。因此,從成本核算的角度看,可以在飼喂一般質量犬糧的同時增加一些肉蛋奶類食物,額外添加的肉蛋奶和犬糧的比例可以達到1:1。對于自制狗食的飼養者,應該考慮營養的均衡,以玉米粉為主的食物里要適量添加肉和蔬菜,并注意微量元素和鈣質的補充以及鈣磷的平衡等等。 另外根據我們的試驗結果,幼犬從三個月開始,采用自由采食的方式飼喂,長期足量使用“搜狗犬糧”或李世安老師研制的“安犬福”犬糧,也可以達到非常好的效果。 幼犬自出生20天起可以添加狗糧、奶粉、雞蛋黃等食物,狗糧一定要用溫水泡軟成糊狀,每天喂6頓,少食多餐,并同時注意觀察糞便情況,以決定食量的增減,幼犬40-50天的時候考慮斷奶,這時候食物的量應增加,并且加一些肉類動物蛋白;60天以后的幼犬可以吃干狗糧,飼喂次數也逐漸減少;90天以后食物可以相對“粗糙”一點,并隨時注意補鈣。高加索犬不是運動型的犬種,大塊頭不一定有大食量,過量的食物會造成肥胖,以及腸胃問題,適量的高質量的食物是必須的!對于三個月以上的高加索犬,既可以采用定時定量的方式飼喂,也可以放一盆干狗糧,采用自由采食的方式飼喂,或者兩者結合。高加索犬在夏季會適當減食,因此夏季更應該飼喂高質量的食物,并且把喂食的時間安排在涼爽的早晚。 關于生肉骨的飼喂和俄羅斯應該有些不同,俄羅斯屬寒帶地區,生肉骨寄生蟲較少,我國地處溫帶亞熱帶,生肉骨的寄生蟲較多,因此,飼喂生肉骨時必須經過冷凍的過程,足夠長時間的冷凍才能殺死生肉骨中的寄生蟲。
這是什么狗啊,,買的時候說是高加索,,這這也不像啊,,兩個月了,
不太像。高加索是長毛犬,如果主人沒有給他剃過毛的話按理來說毛不會那么短。然后高加索眼睛旁邊會有一個和周圍毛色顏色不同的圈,看上去像是長了兩條眉毛一樣,另外高加索的耳朵更小一點,沒有那么長,爪子也應該更肥厚
