Precautions for raising ancient shepherd dogs:

1. A large space is required. The ancient shepherd dog is a medium-to-large dog breed with thick and thick hair, making it look huge and chubby. Shepherd dogs have a large amount of activity and require a spacious activity space. Before raising a dog, the pet owner must carefully evaluate whether his own conditions can meet the needs of the dog.

2. Comb the hair every day. The ancient shepherd dog has a thick coat, and the inner hair is easy to stick together to form a hair ball. During the moulting season, there is a lot of loose hair in the house, and the pet owner needs to comb Gu Mu's hair every day.

3. Trim hair regularly. The long hair will be accompanied by many germs and parasites, causing Gu Mu's skin disease. Summer is hot and humid, so the owner must trim Gu Mu's hair frequently to avoid heatstroke of the dog.

4. Pay attention to the front elbow joint. Larger dogs are prone to joint disease in the front elbow. This is because when the dog is lying down, the weight of the body will be pressed on the elbow joint, which will cause problems such as joint swelling, deformation, skin disease and hair loss.

5. Observe skin problems. Gu Mu is covered by a thick layer of hair, which causes many owners to ignore the skin surface, such as skin diseases, parasites, wounds, etc. When grooming dogs, it is necessary to open the coat and check the skin condition .
