Pups will be pups, their like human children. House training is your best bet, just be consistant. Take your dog out after meals, when they wake up, after water, after rough play, etc. The chewing is also a pup stage, partly because she's probably teething right about now :D, partly because all pups chew. When you catch her snacking on something she shouldn't be chewing on, tell her 'No' sternly, and replace the object with something more appropriate.


You can post pictures in the Gallery, or in posts. You need to have the images saved on your computer. Go to the Gallery and click on 'Upload a File', then scroll down and click 'Browse', then find your image and click open.

To add images to a post, click on the 'Manage Attachments' button below your reply box, pretty foward from there on.

Ah, and welcome to Game-dog.com =)

Have you tried crating? It worked good for my girls. When your not home or in bed put her in the crate, and take straight outside when you let her out. Make sure you praise her when she potties outside.

To put pics in your gallery go uptop and click on "gallery" go down to "upload a file".

BTW- Welcome! Good luck with your pup ;)

I have to tell you, that you shouldnt give your dog rawhid, with this breed it gets stringy and tangled in there intestines, and what not...try thoughs denta bones...Also Crate training is the best thing ever I love it.

[GSDbulldog]

Good pont MrsDanos: Never give your dog rawhides, or Greenies!

I suggest instead to use frozen, raw, beef femurs or knuckle bones. You can pick them up at any grocery store, or your butcher can give them to you. They last (pretty much) forever, are full of marrow, and your dog will love them. Any raw bone is pretty good, so long as it's large enough not to be swallowed. NEVER give your dog COOKED bones, they splinter and can lodge in the intestine!

Stuffed Kongs are also good, but by the time your pup is full grown she'll be able to plow through those things like a knife through butter- but their good while she's young. Stuff 'em with peanut butter, kibble, treats, fresh veggies, etc.

there the dental chew ones there kinda off white and she eats them afterwards so those are bad then ? she is crate trained but when shes out playing with are other dog she never indicates shes gotta crap she just does it u know lol . so when ever im not around or able to watch her i keep her in the crate which she hates very much.

[GSDbulldog]

Most puppies will begin to sniff the ground if they have to go. . . Some become restless and start wandering around the house. . .

Off topic: But I gotta add, you listed rednose as your favorite bloodline. Rednose is just a color, not an actual bloodline :D Thought I'd point it out before someone else. . .

[kato937]

thanks for making me feel like an idiot j/k im going to put a picture up of her when i get off work from when she was like 9weeks old shes white and brown is can u determine the bloodline by looking at her ?

[GSDbulldog]

Nope, not just by looking at her.

[El Mexicano]

but when shes out playing with are other dog



watch out with that when she is older cus if she is game bred u r gonna have an accident in ur hands that could have been prevented

[bronxpits]

u should consider buying the dog a cage for when your not home so she wont chew on anythign when your not home no its not animal cruelty to use 1 (just use it properly)

[GSDbulldog]

Yeah, if she really is a gamebred dog (And even if she's not, she's still a bulldog!), you will want to watch her like a hawk around other dogs, especially when she becomes sexually mature around 1-2 years! NEVER take her to a dog park, or any area where dogs are off leash.

My staff is downright nasty when it comes to strange dogs, but this is a fairly new occourance. He could stand other dogs up until a few months ago when he turned 3 or 4 (Not sure on his exact age, he's a rescue). You need to be prepared for dog aggression at any point, be it at 6 months or 6 years. You got a bulldog, not a poodle :D

[kato937]

i have another question my friends dog at 3months was alot larger then my female at 5 is 30 some odd pounds average for a 5month female ?

[chinasmom]

Good luck with you dog and yes, crates are great. Hey that rymed. LOL. Anyway, welcome!!

[Deva'sMom]

I feed my 10 week old pig ears because she won't chew anything else. Is this bad? I have not noticed any problems though! She hates greenies and rawhide doesn't do it either. I'm lost? The kong doesn't even work!
