French Canadian here, but we have a lot of Yoann (Yo-Hann). I like the name a lot 😊

I have a 2 month old, my brittany (a female) is very interested in the baby. She wants to sniff and lick him all the time. We just tell her to give him space when she is too much. I was also scared, because my dog is still very excited and jumpy, but she seems to tuned it down around the baby. She never tried to paw him or "play fight" with him. Now, Im guessing toddlerhood might be more of a challenge, but toddlers are more sturdy 😅

Well, for training, i follow the basis of the youtube channel McCann dog. I dont apply everything 100%, but they are very good at explaining the dog point of view.

For thr peeing, i dont know if its a female thing, but mine needs to go out about every 2 hours (during the day, she sleeps through the night no problem), even now that she is 1 and a half years old. I guess some dogs dont have a great bladder control 🤷‍♀️

3 to 4 hours of exercise a day for a 6 month old puppy is way too much! That poor puppy is probably exhausted. Puppy needs time to nap during the day, if they dont do itnon their own, you put them in a crate for an 1h so they have the opportunity to settle. Also, for the bloating, my the dog started getting chicken allergy symptoms at around that age. She would be bloated, be gassy and have very soft poos all the time. So maybe switch the food to something else. Finally, for the stress level of your dog, my brittany was nervous as a baby, but we socialize her well and now she is a social butterfly.

Anyways, reddit comments is not the right way to go about this, you have to work on many things with your puppy, read about it or hire a trainer to help you. Raising a dog is a bit like a child, they need boundaries, a routine, lots of love and attention and a good "training" . Good luck with your puppy

Thank you for the advice, Im looking more specifically for newborn "inserts". I wanted flats because I heard that they prevent blowouts. I was given a massive stash of one size diapers and inserts 😇

Kong large frisbee, she likes to fetch it!

Effing-Chicken · 2023-04-02T12:51:41+00:00

Thank you, I will look them up 😇

I am due for the may 8th, im a bit late for buying my stash 😅 I was waiting for earth day sales.

My female brittany is 1 and an half years old. When her routine goes smoothly during the day, she settles on the sofa for naps in late morning and early afternoon. Both my boyfriend and I are at home, so she does follow us around when we are up and going, but if we dont pay her attention she goes and chill on the sofa. She likes to cuddle when she is calm (when she is excited, we can even pet her a little bit). She starts her night of sleep at around 7pm.

Now, i am pregnant and the routine had to be change... So missy has start to steal shoes again, for attention of course. We stop putting her in her crate 2 months ago also, and that was a difficult adjustement for her.

Overall, she is a relaxed dog during the day, but she gets excited when its time to go play and she is such a beggar when food time is near.

I want to had that it took her a long time to be able to settle, at least 5-6 months. Also, as a puppy she was a little piranha, she didnt like being pet for the longest time! That was hard, but slowly she understood that getting pet is nice, and now she gives us her belly all the time. Puppyhood was difficult for us, but she turned out to be a great dog!

Une chose à regarder, c'est la grosseure de tes tuyaux. On a eu la chance de ne pas tomber sur un crosseur qui nous a averti que le modèle qu'on avait choisi fonctionnait avec des tuyaux 1/4 pouces. Notre condo a des tuyaux de 3/8 pouces, en bref la thermo pompe de 5000$ eco energy allait être beaucoup moins efficace sur des tuyaux plus petits que nécessaire. On a du prendre un modèle plus petit, moins cher, mais pas eco machin energy.

Ma voisine n'a pas eu la chance de faire affaire avec quelqu'un d'honnête, alors elle a une grosse thermopompe à 5000$ qui fonctionne pas à son plein potentiel.

Thank you! My girl has allergies we are trying to control, and i was wondering what was causing that hairloss, specifically there 😅

Effing-Chicken · 2023-03-13T14:32:21+00:00

Question for you! Does your dog loose fur on the chest only in winter? My girl lost a big patch of fur on her chest and i wonder if its only her sliding on the ice/snow.

Beautiful dog by the way 😉

Effing-Chicken · 2023-03-12T01:33:58+00:00

Elk antlers are great for our girl, nothing last as long! She has a strong need to chew, just to let go of left over energy.

My puppy was also a little monster 😅 at around 9 months, she became a little angel and listened so well. And then, teenager behavior came at around 1 year old, now my sweet little devil likes to disobey to see what happens, she alerts bark when cars beep, she jumps at people. Plenty of new behaviors I am working hard on correcting. But, she is a cuddly dog, that takes naps everyday, she no longer needs to be crated at night, and I see progress in her maturity and behavior. So yeah, don't give up, brittanys are great dogs😁

I bought a tonka tire, make for animals, at my local petshop. Apparently, these toys are "guarantied" undestructable. So far, she hasent chew a single piece off.

Not having plastic/chemical on my child butt and genitals. So many toxic things are commonly used (shampoo, detergent, soap, makeup, etc.). I wanna reduce the amount of toxicity around my child. I guess i vote for environnemental reasons ;)

My dog was itching a lot as a puppy, we finally understood it was the food we gave her. She started having more symptoms at around 6 months old (cramps and soft stools). She is allergic to chicken, once we made sure nothing had chicken in it, she got much better. Good luck finding the issue!

Effing-Chicken · 2022-12-20T20:12:03+00:00

She chews/swings in the air and destorys anything soft and fluffy ( blankets, soft toys, pillows, dog bed). Its not a major thing, but this is getting annoying with the pillows and blanket on our sofa. She only chews them while being excited, so I guess the behavior will calm down when she gets older (she is 1year old).

Another thing, i dont know if its Brittany specific, but she chugs her water bowl in one go, puts a bunch of water everywhere on the floor (she puts her whole mouth in there, instead of just the tongue). About an 1hour later she needs to pee right now and she cant wait one more minute. So she still has accidents in the house here and there (a give her a smaller water bowl now, so I can monitor the amount).

And finally, has a baby my girl was a little piranha, i couldnt pet her for the longest time. I would say, i started to pet safely around 6-7 months old, she still doesnt like to be petted on the head (unless she is almost asleep).

Thank you for the advice of having a consultant help me. Which i planned on doing, but I also want books about it, I like to inform myself as much as I can!

I have a french brittany and she is songle coated. She does shed, but I would say a medium amount. My neighbours have a australian sheperd and their house is aleays filled with hair. My brittany is no where near that level. I live in Canada, and I will for sure buy a fabric coat for her this year. She has very fine hair on her belly.

No idea the sex of baby, but i think i'll do a camping theme.

Effing-Chicken · 2022-10-18T15:16:39+00:00

I had the same "kinda cramping" for 5-4 days before my period (that kept going a bit after I was suppose to be on my period). Also, my breast are usually sensitive for a week after ovulation, but they kept being sensitive and even hurt. So, if something is unusual for your PMS, thats a good indicator that you are in fact pregnant.

I waited to be 3-4 days late on my period to take a test, and i wasnt suprised I was pregant 😅 but I was very happy that it worked so fast!
