The Noble and Proud Maltese

Mar 30

We hope you’ve been enjoying learning about our puppies.  If you’re new to the blog, welcome and be sure to check our previous postings for information on other puppy breeds.  For post five we will be presenting the Maltese.

Originally known as “Ye ancient dogge of Malta,” Maltese have been a favored companion dog among the aristocracy and royalty around the world for hundreds of years.  The most ancient record of a Maltese is from a Greek artifact dated around 500 B.C.  Members of the Toy classification, Maltese puppies for sale in Ohio have an adult height of 8-10 inches and weigh between 4-6 lbs. Maltese are known for their very distinctive appearance.  They are small dogs with very long, pure white hair, a black button nose, and dark eyes.

Maltese puppies are spirited, lively, and playful.  Maltese puppies for sale in Ohio make an ideal companion dog as they are graceful and lovable.  Their long, pure white hair makes them stand out from other small dogs.  Since they have no undercoat, they shed very little are often considered hypoallergenic dogs, ideal for people who usually have an allergy to dogs.  All that gorgeous white hair does require a lot of grooming to keep it from matting and tangling.  For this reason many people keep their hair trimmed to a more manageable length.  The most popular cut is called a “puppy cut,” as the cut resembles how their hair looks when they are puppies.  For those who wish to keep the hair long or longish, many will put the hair on the top of the head in a top knot, pony tail, or two pig-tails to keep it out of their eyes.   Daily facial cleaning is also needed to prevent “tear staining” around the eyes.  Some of the staining can be limited through diet.

While Maltese need firm, consistent training to prevent small dog syndrome and undesirable tendencies, such as excessive barking or biting, they are, generally, very loveable, affectionate, and cuddly dogs.  Maltese puppies for sale in Ohio are energetic and fun loving.  They require minimal exercise making them ideal for apartments and small homes with no large yard space.  Regular exercise is recommended to ensure quality health for any dog, and a Maltese would enjoy a short daily walk to burn off excess energy.

Say “Hello” to La Havanese!

Mar 27

For our seventh post on our Deciding on a Puppy series, we are introducing the Havanese, Cuba’s national dog.

Havanese, meaning of Havana, are in the Bichon family and were developed in Cuba.  They are unique among small dog breeds for having a more “sturdy” build and a “springy” gait.  This springy gait, in particular, is a distinguishing quality.  Havanese puppies for sale in Ohio come in many colors and color combinations.  They have a double coat, but not a thick one, due to their being developed in a very warm climate.  They have long hair that tends to be wavy or curly.

Havanese puppies for sale in Ohio are in the Toy category and will reach a mature height of 8-11 inches and weight of 7-15 lbs.  Despite their short height and low weights, Havanese have a more sturdy build than most other small dogs.  They have particularly strong legs.  Like many small dogs, Havanese are low-shedders and can be a good fit for many people that are usually allergic to other dogs.

Havanese are highly trainable, intelligent, and love to please their owners.  They are naturally very   affectionate, cheerful, and social.  They are an ideal small dog for not just families, but families with small children.  Their social natures allow them to get along with many people as well as other pets.  They would enjoy being a part of a multi-pet household.  They are very friendly dogs and seldom bark at strangers.

Havanese puppies for sale in Ohio are very low-maintenance pets requiring minimal grooming and exercise.  As they are highly intelligent, they respond well and easily to firm, consistent training.  They are also much less prone to excessive barking than most small dog breeds.  Most of their exercise can be achieved through indoor play, and they can do very well in an apartment or small home without a yard.  Daily walks are recommended for regular exercise.  They are also less “needy” than many small dogs and can be self-entertaining.

Ay, Chihuahua!

Mar 23

For our sixth featured dog, we are visiting Mexico and the Chihuahua.

Hailing from Mexico and named for the Mexican state of Chihuahua, where early records of them have been found, the Chihuahua is a tiny dog with a big iconic status.  They are often referred to as the “Taco Bell dog “ in pop culture thanks to a series of commercials produced by Taco Bell featuring an adorable Chihuahua and the catch phrase, “Yo quiero Taco Bell.”  They also made the idea of carrying a Toy companion dog around in a large purse popular because of images from the movie “Legally Blonde” with Reese Whitherspoon and “Bruiser” and from images of Paris Hilton with her Chihuahua, “Tinkerbell.”

As the tiniest dog breed in the world, Chihuahua puppies for sale in Ohio will grow up to be no more than 6-9 inches tall and weighing between 2-6 lbs.  Chihuahua’s can be both short-haired and long-haired and neither type sheds a lot or requires a lot of grooming.  They also come in a variety of colors and color combinations.  Aside from their diminutive stature, Chihuahua’s are known for their large ears and fierce faces.  Chihuahua’s are often described as having either Apple or Deer heads, meaning that the former type has short noses and rounded heads, while the latter has longer noses and a more elongated head.

Chihuahua puppies for sale in Ohio are alert dogs with terrier-like qualities.  Chihuahua’s can be very loyal, but tend to bond closely to one particular member of a household and are not recommended for households with very small children due to aggressive tendencies that make them prone to biting.  They can do very well in households with older, more patient children, though.

Chihuahua’s are the only dogs to be born with an incomplete skull and a soft spot called a moleras, just like human babies.  This soft spot will disappear with age, but care should be taken that they don’t suffer head injuries during the first 6 months of life.  Make sure your vet can tell the difference between a soft spot and a serious medical condition called hydrocephalus.  Chihuahua’s often tremble, but this is due to stress, excitement, or cold and is not a medical concern.  Chihuahua’s don’t deal well with the cold as they are thin haired and small with little fat reserves unless grossly overweight.  They can benefit from having doggie sweaters and coats, if you live in a cold climate.  They also enjoy having a snug den and will burrow inside or under blankets, pillows, and clothes hampers.

Chihuahua puppies for sale in Ohio are active, energetic, and intelligent dogs who do well with apartment living and small homes.  They do best with single owners, but some can adjust well to larger families if socialized at a young age.

Exploring the Great Outdoors with your Puppy

Mar 20

It’s spring! Can you think of anything more enjoyable to do this time of year than spending some quality outdoor time with your puppy? Imagine the fond memories you can create by adopting one of the teacup Maltese puppies for sale that we have for you here at Affordable Pup, and then taking that adorable puppy out for a romp on the beach or in a wide open field somewhere. Maybe you have a backyard and maybe you don’t; this time of year you’ll want to find some open space to play.

Exercise is a key component in the long term health of your dog, no matter what breed it happens to be. With teacup puppies, since later in life they often become sedentary and prefer to stay indoors, it’s important to get them as much exercise as possible while they are young. You’ll also want to capture those moments when they learn to use their legs, discover their tail, and chase after a butterfly or bug for the very first time. Is there anything cuter than a puppy’s antics in those early days?

The frolicking good times aren’t limited to Maltese. The pet lovers who adopt the Yorkies for sale Ohio breeders provide send us stories all the time about special moments they have with their pups in the great outdoors. Yorkies love to be outside, especially if they have room to run. They also make great car dogs, so it’s no problem to take them a few miles away if there’s a great park or ocean venue you’d rather spend time in. They’re content as long as they’re by your side, so run for a while and then relax for a bit. A Yorkie will lie down right next to you and enjoy the moment.

Just like with humans, a puppy should be taken to the vet before you put it through a strenuous exercise routine. In cases of outdoor exercise, you’ll want to make sure your puppy has all its shots and vaccinations and has been checked for any genetic health defects that are common to its specific breed. Yorkies and other teacup puppies often suffer from luxating patellas or asthmatic conditions. Make sure you have your pup checked for both before you take it out for a romp.

Want to see a dog defy gravity? Adopt one of the English bulldogs for sale we have here at Affordable Pup and take it out for an outdoor romp. They may look short and slow, but they have some serious rise when they jump after something and they can really get up and go in an open field. We’re certain if you check the English bulldog section right now, there’s a puppy there you will fall in love with. Adopt her and take her out to play. You’ll both get a health benefit from it and you’ll build a bond that will last a lifetime.

Scratching Behind the Ears and Keeping the Eyes Clean

Mar 16

Teacup pups typically live longer than larger dogs, but owners can extend that lifespan even further. If you’re contemplating the adoption of one of the Yorkies for sale Ohio pet owners seem to favor, please take some time and do a little research into the care and upkeep of your new puppy. Scratching behind the ears is a comforting sensation for any dog; keeping their eyes clean will prevent painful health conditions that often plague long-haired animals.  Make sure you ask your vet about it before you bring your puppy home. Regular eye care should start on Day One.

Different breeds have different needs. If you browse our blog you’ll see that we’ve written quite a few entries about specific breeds and cross-breeds. The history and origins of a dog have quite a bit to do with their modern day needs and potential health problems.

We would also be happy to answer any questions you might have about the new addition to your family.

Do you know what luxating patellas are? You should if you’re going to own one of the Maltese for sale we have available on our site today. It’s a common condition with them and other teacup puppies where the kneecaps float. It’s caused by weak ligaments and tendons in the knees and can be an extremely painful condition that may require surgery. If your dog suffers from luxating patella you’ll need to contact a vet right away. Are you prepared to take on that responsibility? You should be if you plan on adopting a teacup puppy. The condition is fairly common.

Why are we telling you all this? Most people want to adopt a teacup puppy because they’re cute and cuddly. We agree; they are. They are also living creatures who will rely on you for their care and upkeep. If you’re not willing to provide that to the very best of your ability you have no business adopting any pet, never mind a people-dependent teacup puppy. We’re not trying to scare anyone away. Our objective is to make sure that those who adopt our dogs take care of them. If you need help with that, please make sure you contact us or someone else who knows what to do.

What happens if you’ve never adopted a dog similar to the Yorkies for sale we have listed here? Is there additional help available to you? Yes, there is. The owners you adopt from will no doubt have additional information for you about the lineage and potential hereditary conditions of your puppy. Ask as many questions as you can think of and feel free to contact us any time after you’ve adopted your Yorkie. We’re always available to help you take better care of your dog.
