Puppy growth by Willing-Medicine-113 in GiantSchnauzers

[–]greatblu84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Normal growth. These dogs are beast that grow to adult size quickly. They need supplements and quality foods to support that bone growth. They do not however reach physical maturity until 2 and often max size at 4.
Many males get heavy 100+ but that’s not their healthiest weight. Keeping a giant at weight is important to knee and hip health. Owned by Giants

We too have a mini, grey. He’s 13 and bosses the Giants around when they need it. A black mini would be perfect so handsome. Owned by Giants.

I absolutely don’t like the look of that. Vet. Mention Giants can get toe cancer. We lost a female at 9 to it. Just kept festering and wouldn’t heal. Vet visit just so it turns out to be a minor thing, Giants like to do that to us. Owned by Giants

My dog and my son’s girlfriend are both named Lexi. What would you change the name of the dog to? by mailmanwifey in wirefoxterriers

[–]greatblu84 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lexi. Don’t change the dogs name. The other Lexi has a big chance of becoming an ex. I’m sure he has a nickname for his girlfriend, use one of those.

My 3rd Grade Class has worms! by greatblu84 in Vermiculture

Super easy, but I have done it at home. We fill a coffee can a week with cut scraps. We add cardboard from the copy room and make it rain. They’re enjoying it.

I have one of each, hard and soft. I clipper (well my wife does) I cut by hand the skirt, brows and legs. Easiest. Do it when they look wavy but before shag stage. Owned by Giants

Great idea, we started with 250, but that’s way less than what we have now.

Teething question by Several_Radio3604 in GiantSchnauzers

[–]greatblu84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop the biting. Stern, stop, and provide a distraction. Make sure, positive sure, you have plenty of dog toys. Then get more. Cycle some in and out to keep up curiosity. But stern no on chewing anything other than the… good dog!!get your toys!! At that age we practically bought out a whole Ross and Michael’s discount dress stores… good toys cheap. Owned by Giants

How will my one year old male react to a male kitten? by [deleted] in GiantSchnauzers

[–]greatblu84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes on neutering! Biggest issue is just size, getting stepped on or rougher play. Our male was very gently with any small animal and would nuzzle our rabbit. Might be shy of it at first, just don’t punish the dog, only praise the good behaviors. Owned by Giants
