Active and inquisitive hunting dog breeds, not only hardy and nimble hunters but also excellent companions. Starting a representative of a hunting group of dogs as a pet, many owners are faced with issues of care and maintenance. After all, these four-legged friends need more physical activity than other dog breeds.

Content in the Yard

It is best to keep a hunting dog in a dry shed or in a good warm booth in the yard. The room should protect the animal from the heat in the hot season and in the fall and winter, serve as protection from wind, rain, snow, and save from frost. Straw can serve as bedding, which must be changed periodically, and the kennel must be disinfected at least once a month. It is better to refuse the chain, but if there is no possibility, then the chain should be light, good strength, and long. The animal should not get confused about it. You need to walk a hunting dog twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, for 1.5 hours.

Content in the Apartment

Many hunters live in apartments, and in order to keep a hunting dog there, it is necessary to provide it with a permanent place where the dog will be. It can be built from a wooden frame covered with tarpaulin. If you do not want the dog to run around the apartment in the absence of the owner, you can screw a hook into the floor to the ring of which you can tie the animal. In the toilet, the dog must be taken outside and carry out daily walks, and the dog must receive a lot of physical activity for hunting.

Dog Grooming

If you want to have a healthy, strong animal, then you need appropriate care. It is necessary to look after the skin of a hunting dog, especially carefully. It must be bathed once a month, periodically with a brush to remove dust and dirt from the fur. During the molting period, the animal’s hair must be combed more often and more thoroughly so that the dog will quickly get rid of the old hair. Every day, you should examine your ears, wipe them with hydrogen peroxide. Hunting dogs need regular daily exercise to strengthen their muscles and develop their muscles.

Feeding

Feed the dogs in moderation, without overloading the stomach. After training, you need to withstand the time, and the dog should rest and then start eating. The food should be fresh and contain meat and cereals in certain proportions. She should eat the entire portion at once and remove what she has not finished. Leaving for later is not recommended. The dishes from which the dog eats should be well rinsed and scalded with boiling water.
