Description

There are different ways to reserve one of our puppies. 

  1. You can have a look at the Available Puppies Section here on our website. Any puppy that shows an individual picture (not a group picture), and a green label that says “This Puppy is Available“, is ready to be reserved.  If there is a puppy that you like, you can reserve it with a deposit. This will make the puppy unavailable to anyone else. Or you can text us at (970)882-3299 and ask any questions you might have or request additional videos.
  2. If no puppies are available or if you did not find the right one on our website, then you can also join the Priority Waiting List here. A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to join the waiting list. We take first pictures and videos of our puppies, once they are about 6-8 weeks old. You will receive info, videos, and pictures of our available puppies via text message before the puppies are advertised on our website. If more than one family is interested in the same puppy, the date of the deposit will have priority. Sometimes the waiting list might appear longer than you wish but not every family on the waiting list is ready for a puppy right away. Some want to get a puppy later this year and others might have very specific expectations on the size, color & markings and are taking their time to make a decision. You can always skip and wait for the next litter without losing your spot in line on the waiting list.

Please review the FAQs section on our website for information about contact, spay & neuter requirements, delivery, supplies, grooming, AKC registration, puppy contract, health guarantee, vaccinations, microchip, food, care, etc.

Click here to listen: Do you offer puppy delivery?

There are different ways to get your puppy.

Pick up with an appointment

Ideally, you can schedule an appointment with us. You can travel directly to our home in Dolores, Colorado to pick up your puppy.
We could also meet you at the Cortez, CO Airport on any day of the week. The airport code is CEZ and the best way to search for affordable flights is here.

When traveling to meet or pick up your puppy, please make sure you book refundable airline tickets or book flights that allow a flight credit if something doesn’t work out.
RMBT will not refund any type of travel expenses.
It doesn’t happen very often and we always try to keep things as planned but it is possible that a travel date changes for several reasons:
  • Sometimes puppies are having a hard time weaning from their mother and just need a couple of weeks longer.
  • The puppy has a reaction to a vaccine and gets sick.
  • The puppy gets vet checked and the vet finds a problem that needs further examination.
  • It turns out your family is not a good fit for our puppy and we cancel the transaction.
We are not selling shoes on a shelf! Please keep that in mind.
Thank you!

Charter The Rocky Mountain Biewer Terrier Airplane

We are fortunate to own a small airplane and are happy to deliver your puppy to your nearest regional airport.
One of us will be with your puppy throughout the entire flight.

Flying private has many advantages:

  • Stressfree Travel
  • Privacy, Convenience, and Flexibility
  • Avoid large Airports
  • Depart & land at surrounding small airports
  • Avoid traffic jams and parking chaos
  • No 2-hour early arrival, no Security TSA lines
  • Private lounges and terminals

If you have any questions about this delivery option, please text us at (970)882-3299.

Delivery with another Puppy Owner

You can also share the travel expenses with another family from your area and ask them to bring your puppy back with them on their way home. This has worked great in the past and you can review the current travel locations for all pups here. The best way to arrange the delivery for your puppy this way would be by posting a request in our Puppy Parent Group on Facebook. Of course, you are also welcome to post an offer to bring somebody else’s puppy home with you.

Hire a Puppy Delivery Nanny

  1. Another way to get your puppy delivered to your nearest major airport would be hiring a Puppy Courier or Puppy Nanny. Our 2nd son Emil is 19 years old and is very familiar with our puppies. He lives very close to Rocky Mountain Biewer Terriers and has worked at RMBT since high school. He is available to deliver your puppy to you. You are welcome to use your sky miles for the ticket purchase. You can also split the ticket price with another family. You can text Emil at (970)900-3777 or you can fill out our Travel Request Form.
    Mea Harris also delivers puppies for Rocky Mountain Biewer Terriers. She owns two of our puppies herself and you can reach her at (435)994-5205 or you can fill out our Travel Request Form.

Click here to listen: Is there a Biewer Puppy shopping list?

We created an Amazon shopping list with the basic items that we recommend to have purchased before your puppy comes home to you. The shopping list includes items that your puppy has been using here at Rocky Mountain Biewer Terriers. It will make the transition to your home much easier if you purchase the same items for your new puppy, at least for the first few weeks. The shopping list includes the Donut Cuddler Bed, which has been the #1 rated bed for our Biewer puppies. Many of our puppy parents purchased the bed on Amazon and posted adorable pictures of stories on the Puppy Group on Facebook.

The washable potty pads we use here at RMBT, are also on the list. The puppies are familiar with these pads since they were born in the whelping box. The puppies were trained by their mothers to use them. You can wash these pads in your washing machine. Very important are also the small grooming brushes, the face comb, and the nail trimmer. Your puppy needs a daily brushing so it doesn’t get knots and mats in its hair. There are different dog foods that you will need to prepare the perfect kibble mix for your pup as well as a puppy supplement, food plates, a pet carrier for travel and vet visits, and other important items.
The Amazon Button below will take you to the basic item list. You can review the shopping list and add the products to your cart on Amazon.

Click here to listen: What does my Biewer Puppy eat?

The dry food:

There are 3 types of dry food that you should have on hand before your Biewer puppy comes home to you.

Life’s Abundance All Life Stages Kibbles.

Please order at least 1 x 8 lb. bag. This dog food cannot be ordered on Amazon or elsewhere. It will ship straight from the maker to your door to make sure it’s not sitting in somebody’s warehouse for months. Life’s Abundance has the best possible rating with DogFoodAdvisor.com. As per our health guarantee, you should be feeding LA at least for the first year. Please check with us before you change the dry food for your puppy. Also please always check on DogFoodAdvisor.com to learn more about certain commercial dog foods.

The goal is to eventually wean off your puppy from baby kibbles and cooked meals. If you enjoy cooking for your pup you can of course continue to do so. I will write up another FAQ with yummy meal recipes. And since you are already on the LA website for the kibbles, you can also add a pack of these Bully Sticks.

Purina Pro Plan Toy Breed Puppy

Biewer Puppies are very small and sometimes it’s difficult for them to crack the kibbles with their little teeth. That’s why we mix the food above, with a 2nd food. Purina Pro Plan Toy Breed Puppy kibbles are very small and the puppies love them. It’s hs. 4.5 star rating with dog food advisor so still pretty good food to feed. Please make sure you mix this 5 lb. bag it the 8 lb. bag of the Life’s Abundance Kibbles.

Freeze-Dried Raw food from PRIMAL

The third food is Freeze-Dried Raw food from PRIMAL. It comes in chicken, beef, duck, rabbit, salmon, venison, turkey, pork, or lamb formula. It is important to rotate the proteins for your puppy. Primal Nuggets can be powdered in the kitchen blender and then mixed into the kibble mix. The powder will coat the kibbles and make them extra flavorful and yummy. Please order a couple of different formulas like beef and duck. Don’t order the chicken formula as the dry kibbles are already based on chicken meat.

NuVetPlus Immune System Builder (use code 23999 online)

All puppies have immune systems that take time to mature. The terms of our health guarantee will not be honored unless the puppies are given NuVet Plus immune system builder for at least the first year of the health guarantee. Nuvet Immune System Builder is a supplement that you can just add to the kibble mix. You can either add 1/2 cup of it to the kibble mix you prepped or you can add a teaspoon of it to the kibble bowl every time you refill it.

Dry Food Summary:

Mix 1/2 cup of the supplement and the three dry foods together (1x 8 lb. of LA, 1 x 5 lb. bag of Purina Toy Puppy, and 1 x 14 oz. bag of Primal Nuggets (run only the nuggets through the blender). Don’t add water to any of the foods! You will have close to 14 lb. of dry dog food for your puppy. You can store the mix in a small dog food storage container. All our dogs are free-fed with access to the kibble mix 24/7. Please have a bowl of this kibble mix available for your puppy to snack on at all times.

The cooked food:

1. If you don’t want to cook for your puppy and rather receive freshly cooked meals in the mail, please read here and get 50% off on your first order.

The Farmer’s Dog or also Nom Nom is freshly made food, and all of the nutrition dogs need to be healthy, and none of the harsh processing, fillers, or preservatives of most commercial options. A fresh, complete, and balanced diet is one of the most important investments you can make in your dog’s long-term health. The Farmer’s Dog and also Nom Nom are gently cooked to maintain whole food integrity and natural nutrients. The meal plans are personalized to your dog’s specific needs based on a profile you create when signing up. The meals are delivered right to your door and arrive frozen to ensure safety and nutritional integrity upon arrival. Just store the packs in the freezer, and move packs to the fridge to defrost a day before serving. The food is pre-cooked and does not require any special preparation.
Please read here to learn more about the meal delivery service for your puppy.

2. If you enjoy home cooking for your pup, please read here:

Your puppy will need 2 cooked meals a day for at least the next 2-3 weeks. You can then start to offer only one meal and if you prefer to feed the dry food mix only, then you can wean your puppy off any cooked meals.

You can boil a 5 lb. bag of unseasoned, frozen, or fresh chicken breast and also brown 2 lb. very lean ground beef. Shred the chicken breast in the blender for just a few seconds so it is nicely shredded or mix it with the hand mixer. Make sure you don’t leave any big chunks of chicken breast. Hungry puppies can choke on chunky food! Mix the shredded chicken with the fried ground beef and fry everything up in a large frying pan. Add 5-6 eggs to it and fry everything together. Make sure the egg is completely cooked and not raw. Once this chicken-beef-egg mix has cooled off, you can bag up 1 cup size portions in little ziplock bags and put it in your freezer. This will last for weeks and you don’t have to cook every day.
Serve 1 cup of the cooked mix on a plate and give your puppy 10 minutes to eat and then put the leftovers back in the fridge.

Click here to listen: Do I get AKC papers?

There is a widely held belief that AKC or AKC papers” and the quality of a puppy are one and the same. The AKC is a dog registry. AKC does not breed or sell dogs, it will not guarantee the quality or health of dogs in its registry. Akc also does not require any health testing.
If you purchase an AKC Registration Certificate for a puppy sold on a pet contract (no show & breeding rights), you will receive a Limited AKC Registration Certificate. The certificate identifies the dog as the offspring of a known sire and dam born on a known date. It will have the name and birthdate of the puppy, the name of the breeder, and the names of the parents. The pedigree is a 3-generation family tree that provides registered names, registration numbers, and available coat colors for 14 immediate ancestors in your dog’s family tree. If you purchase AKC Registration for your puppy with us, we will register the puppy with AKC, after you received your puppy. All puppies will have our Kennel name “Rocky Mountain’s” in front of their given name. We also add the customer’s last name. Example: Rocky Mountain’s Ginger Hansen. The process can take up to 4 weeks, and for pedigrees sometimes longer.

Our puppies usually get their last vet check, on the Wednesday before they leave our home. Per request, we can also provide you with a Veterinarian Health Certificate from the State of Colorado.
We do not take our puppies to a veterinarian clinic! This way they will not be exposed to sick animals at the vet clinic. Our veterinarian visits us here at the house once a week and checks all puppies that will travel within the next 5-6 days.

What does the vet check for?

During the wellness vet check, our veterinarian evaluates the puppy’s attitude, checks eyes & ears, mouth, teeth, gums, nose & throat, listens to the heart, lunges, and respiration looks at the skin and hair coat, and looks for undescended testicles.

Please check with your airline about the requirements for carry-on pets, traveling in cabin with you.

Requirements for in-cabin pets with United Airlines

  • On domestic flights, puppies must be at least 2 months old.
  • Pets cannot travel with unaccompanied children.
  • You’ll need to buy a plane ticket for the puppy and pay an additional $125 one way.
  • no documents are required for United Airlines but there are various state and country entry rules for animals, and it’s up to you to know what they are and to comply with them.
  • The puppy must be carried in an approved hard-sided or soft-sided kennel. The kennel must fit completely under the seat in front of you and remain there at all times. The maximum dimensions for hard-sided kennels are 17.5 inches long x 12 inches wide x 7.5 inches high. The recommended maximum dimensions for soft-sided kennels are 18 inches long x 11 inches wide x 11 inches high. Soft-sided pet carriers can exceed these dimensions slightly because they are collapsible and able to fit underneath a seat without blocking the aisle.

Click here to listen: What is Hypoglycemia?

Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar is a disorder that occurs mainly in small breed puppies between six and sixteen weeks of age. It often occurs without warning and can appear after the puppy misses a meal, gets cold, becomes exhausted from playing, not enough rest, etc.

Imagine your puppy’s blood sugar level like a battery.

Your puppy’s battery is charging when the puppy eats, rests, and takes plenty of naps. If your puppy is awake, plays, or if your puppy is cold, the battery gets drained, and the blood sugar will eventually drop if not re-charged.
When the blood sugar level gets too low, your puppy will become sleepy, the gums will get pale, the puppy won’t be interested in food, or toys because it feels weak. If you do not catch that problem in time, it will get worse. The puppy will get very lethargic, it is unable to get up, and can get cramps or seizures. If your puppy goes to bed with low blood sugar, and you don’t do anything about it, it might not be alive the next morning. Here at RMBT, we actually get up at night to feed very small 8 weeks old weaning puppies at 3 AM to prevent hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia is a dangerous threat to young Biewer Terrier puppies!

Watch for your puppy to become tired or droopy. The puppy may appear sad, weak, wobbly, or jerky. In an advanced case of low blood sugar, the puppy could be unresponsive,  in a coma, cramp, or seizure. If your puppy has any symptoms of hypoglycemia you must act fast! If the puppy is awake, give it 2 cc of Dextrose and 1 cc of Nutri-Cal by mouth.
(2 cc is the same as 2 ml)
If your puppy is too weak to get up, you need to be very careful when administering dextrose to make sure it can still swallow the liquid. The puppy needs to be kept warm and you should see signs of improvement in 10-15 minutes. Once your puppy is up on its feet again you need to hand feed it.
If no improvement, then call your veterinarian. If your puppy is unconscious you need to take it to the ER right away.

Prevent Hypoglycemia from happening!

Help your puppy to get enough rest and allow only 30 minutes of play at a time, followed by rest or sleep.  In addition, supervise your puppy closely with children to make sure it is getting enough rest. Make sure your puppy is not cold and if needed adjust the temperature in a certain room of your house for the puppy. Our puppies are used to 72-80 degrees.

Above all, you can prevent low blood sugar by feeding the cooked meals with shredded, unseasoned chicken breast. The puppies also love baked chicken thighs, small amounts of scrambled egg, low-fat cottage cheese, lean ground beef, or turkey, or a cooked lean steak, sliced very thin.
Low blood sugar can come with the excitement and stress of going to a new home. Give Nutri-Cal for the first 10 days, 3 times a day, 1 cc.
Make sure that your puppy eats at least every six hours and more often it is very small. In addition to the cooked meals, keep dry food and water available at all times.

Testing the blood sugar level of your puppy at home

There is nothing wrong with testing your puppy’s blood sugar level at home. Children and adults with diabetes do it all the time to prevent emergencies. If you have never used a blood sugar tester, you can just try it on yourself first. For just $20, you can order a Blood Sugar Test Kit here. It comes with everything you need to do up to 50 tests at home. It takes 5 seconds and is very simple and painless. The best spots to get a tiny blood sample from your puppy would be on the inside of the ear or from one of the little toes.
Massage either spot or warm the spot up before you use the little poker (lancing device) to make sure it works right away and you don’t have to try again.

The normal glucose level for a Biewer Terrier puppy ranges between 60 mg/dL and 111 mg/dL.
Anything less than 60 mg/dL, indicates low blood sugar/Hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar

Low Blood Sugar Emergency Kit

If you reserved a puppy that is unusually small, we recommend having Dextrose, some jars of Gerber Baby Food “Chicken & Gravy” and 1 pack of “Baby Gerber Rice Cereal”, and 1 pack of 6 cc oral syringes available. However, you might never need those items but they can be a lifesaver in the event of Hypoglycemia and therefore we recommend having them on hand. An ER overnight vet bill for a puppy with low blood sugar will cost you at least $2000.
Click on the links below to order the recommended products directly on Amazon.

Dextrose 50% Solution
10-pack 6 cc oral syringes
10-pack Gerber Baby Food “Chicken & Gravy”
Baby Gerber Rice Cereal

If you are not sure if your puppy might be hypoglycemic, you can also contact us for detailed instructions on how to help your puppy with low blood sugar. Please text us at (970) 882-3299.

One of the questions we get asked the most is about the “estimated adult weight” of the puppy. Most of our dogs mature in the 6 lb range.
Biewer Terriers and other toy breeds grow faster than larger breeds and stop growing between 9 to 12 months of age. Most of their growth happens between birth and 11 weeks.  To best predict the puppy’s estimated adult weight, we take their 6-week weight, double it and then double it again. A puppy who weighs 1.5 pounds at 6 weeks will weigh approximately 6 pounds as an adult (1.5×2=3, 3×2=6).

estimated adult weight

Biewer Terrier Growth Chart

Please keep in mind that these are estimates and aren’t always accurate. You could end up with a bigger or smaller dog than you anticipated! We receive a lot of requests for so-called Teacup Biewer Terrier Puppies. Please know that the Biewer Terrier only comes in one standard size which can range anywhere from 4-8 lbs.  To indicate that a puppy’s estimated adult weight might be under 4 lbs.,  we call them “Mini” in some of our descriptions on the website. But there are no Toy Biewers or Mini Biewers, or Teacup Biewers as per the breed standard. The purchase price for certain puppies also indicates a dog puppy being on the small side as it takes much more effort to raise very small puppies.

Click here to listen: Is my puppy microchipped?

All our Biewer Puppies get microchipped when they are about 6-7 weeks old before the first pictures and videos are taken. You will find the chip number in the puppy contract and on the vet report and vaccination records.
If you purchased the Microchip Registration through our website, we will register your puppy with your contact information with AKC Reunite. Otherwise, please go to www.AKCreunite.org and register your puppy as soon as you received it. It is required as per the puppy contract to register the microchip.

Can you imagine how it feels if your furkid would get lost? The feeling when your heart sinks …. Where do you start looking? Who do you ask?
It happened several times over the last few years!
The little Biewer Puppy Girl that jumped off the passenger seat at the Target Parking Lot, was reunited with her family in less than 2 hours. They were still looking under all the cars on the parking lot, while her mom received a call from AKC on her cellphone. She was riding around the block with Animal Control. Her chip was registered with AKC.

Once your puppy leaves our home it will usually have received 3 x 6-way (DAPPv + CV) vaccinations (at 6, 8, and 10 weeks) and 1 x Bordetella (Bronchicine CAE) intranasal vaccination (at 4 weeks). Your puppy will be properly dewormed and started on heart-worm prevention as well. We recommend getting 1 more 6-way shot at about 14 weeks of age and the by-law required rabies vaccine at 16 weeks.

Please do not expose your puppy to high traffic areas like gas stations, pet relief areas at the airports, or other possibly contaminated places. Most puppy vaccine manufacturers state that the puppy is not fully protected until all puppy vaccines have been administered.
You will receive a complete electronic vaccination & deworming record once you received your puppy.

Click here to listen: How much grooming is involved?

Biewer Terriers can require a lot of grooming if kept in their full coat. If you enjoy grooming and working with hair care products, you might consider letting your puppy’s coat grow.

Biewer TerrierBiewer TerrierBiewer TerrierBiewer TerrierBiewer Terrier

The “Puppy Cut” is the most polar way to groom your Biewer Terrier. The coat is kept moderately short which makes the maintenance a lot easier.

We put a detailed grooming guide for first-time Biewer Puppy parents together. 

Biewer Terriers have a lot of hair, and bathing and grooming can be a weekly procedure, depending on your lifestyle. If your pups sleep in bed with you, you might want to bathe them more frequently. Young puppies get extra messy, especially when they potty. So it is important to check your babe’s furry back-end every day before the end of the day. One of the most annoying things is having to bathe your pup late at night and change the sheets at 11:30 PM …

Biewer Terriers are hypoallergenic. They do not shed, and they do not have fur. Biewers have hair like you and me. The Biewer Terrier Grooming instructions below are meant for the normal Family Pet Biewer. I will be writing a separate guide for Show Pups and Adults.  

Let’s get started

Have the little face comb, shampoo, and conditioner ready at the kitchen sink, dog tub, or whatever you use to bathe your pup. Don’t forget to grab a towel. Please never leave your pup alone in the sink, running for a towel because you didn’t grab one.
If you bathe your dog in the kitchen sink, make sure nothing can accidentally turn on the disposal. It’s ideal to have a safe disposal cover in your kitchen sink. You can also put a washcloth in your sink, so it is less slippery for your pup.

Get your pup all wet and soaked. As long as you don’t get water into the nostrils, everything should be fine. Be firm and keep your pup safe in the sink. Whatever you allow this time, will be causing the same problems next time. Your pup is fine; it’s just warm water, so if you stay firm, the squirming will stop in a couple of minutes. Keep it in the sink, not on the counter, and not standing up on the edge of the sink. You must get over the squirming phase because you will be doing this a lot and teaching your pup to behave when getting bathed, will make your life much easier and your pup’s bath much safer.

Biewer Terrier Grooming can be a very relaxing and lovely hobby if you train your baby right from the start. As your pup grows older, it will love the attention while getting groomed and even fall asleep while you groom.

Shampooing and Massaging

Once your pup has calmed down, you can start shampooing and massaging it with lots of love. Make this a nice thing. You can turn off the water for a bit and take your time and sud every inch of your pup. Rub the area near the eyes really well so the gunk and boogers will soften up. Your pup will start shaking because it’s cold without the warm water, but the massaging will help to relax. Take the little face comb and comb out the facial hair, make sure you get all the boogers, and rub and foam it up several times. You can turn on the water just for a few seconds to rinse the face and repeat the shampooing and massaging in the face again. You can also use a baby sponge to scrub the face and a toothbrush to get eye boogers brushed out.

Once the face is really clean, you do the exact same thing on your pup’s butt. Comb out any little crumbs and sud it up, rinse, and repeat.

Once the face and butt are clean, you can get some more warm water on your shaking baby and then start shampooing the four little paws, one by one, then the belly, and at the end the rest of the body. Rinse and then condition everything and rinse again. Rinse really, really well because any leftover soap or conditioner will make the hair look greasy. Wrap your dog into a towel, and rub the face and ears dry first, and then the body. If you have a crate, put the pup with the towel in the crate and point your blow dryer at a safe distance at the crate for about 5-10 minutes. Your pup will rub itself all over the towel and pre-dry. 

Blow Drying

There are many different types of grooming tables, starting at around $60. We use small ones at shows and hydraulic ones with adjustable heights at home. Depending on your space and budget, even a small, foldable camping table for $20 will work just fine.

Always keep one hand on your puppy. If you walk away from the grooming table, your baby can fall and get badly injured. You can also sit down and keep your puppy in your lap. You can point the blow dryer at your lap and start brushing your baby with the little wire brush under the warm air. Start with the butt, thighs, belly, inside legs, chest, top, and sides, in that order. In the end, you dry and brush the face. Blow drying the face is the hardest part as most puppies do not like the have air blown in their face. They will get used to it though. Be very careful that you do not brush in the eyes. You can also use your fingers instead of the brush.

Make sure your puppy is 100% dry and has no wet hair. Check behind the ears, under the chin and the legs to make sure everything is brushed and dried.

Trimming the Nails

Before you trim your baby’s paws, you should get the toenails trimmed. It is important that you trim those nails on a regular basis because the pink part (quick) will grow longer as the toenail grows longer. If you let it grow too long, you cannot just cut the long toenail off, because you will cut into the quick. The best way to trim the nails is right when you got your baby wrapped in the towel after the bath. Wrap it like a burrito and pull the little paw out and trim the nails, one paw after the next. Hold your pup tight in your armpit. You can turn on your stand or table dryer and hold the paw under the blowing air, so all the little hair gets blown away from the nail, and you can easily see where to cut. Here is another video for you.

Please know that your baby’s toenails should never get as long as in the video below. We let them grow this long so that you can see it better in the recording.

Click here to listen: What if my puppy won’t eat?

Our Biewer Puppies usually leave our home at 12 weeks when they weigh about 2-3 lb. That means your puppy is most likely as small as an average Guinea pig when it comes home to you. Here at Rock Mountain Biewer Terriers, the puppies live together in small puppy packs of usually 5-10 pups. When we feed the babies, everyone gets really excited and chases as fast as they can to the food bowls. The puppies love the competition and eat as much as they can fit before it’s gone. We always make sure that there will be leftovers at the end, so we know that even the littlest ones or the slowest ones were able to eat as much as they want.
The puppies always have access to their Life’s Abundance Kibbles and Freeze Dry Primal Nugget. The cooked food gets served twice a day around 7 AM and 7 PM.
Now your puppy is with you, no littermates around and everything is different. It is very common that the puppies aren’t eating well or refuse to eat at all at their new home, for the first few days. This is a very challenging time for you and your new baby so here is some advice from us to you.

Eating Biewer Puppies

 

Imagine your puppy’s blood sugar level like a battery, if your puppy eats and then takes a nap, the battery charges, if your puppy is awake, plays, or if your puppy is cold, the battery gets drained, and the blood sugar will eventually drop if not re-charged.
When the blood sugar level gets too low, your puppy will become sleepy, the gums will get paler and paler, the puppy won’t be interested in food, or toys because it feels weak. If you do not catch that problem in time, it will get worse. The puppy will get very lethargic, it is unable to get up, and it will get seizures. If your puppy goes to bed with low blood sugar, and you don’t do anything about it, it might not be alive the next morning.

When you get home with your new puppy:

  • Don’t hand your puppy around to friends and neighbors.
  • Don’t take your puppy to the store, or the vet on the same day. Go straight home!
  • Don’t overwhelm your puppy with all the toys and things you bought for him/her.
  • Don’t go to bed before your puppy ate something.

Yes, everyone is super excited and you probably waited a long time for your puppy to finally come home. You can combine the fun with the important care your puppy needs when you get home. Give your puppy 1 cc of the Nutri-Cal supplement upon arrival at the airport.

Make sure you have pre-cooked some of the suggested meals at home. Baked chicken thighs, sliced or chopped are one of the favorite meals for our Biewer Pups. You can add a little fried ground beef, cottage cheese, and scrambled egg on the side. Warm it up to room temperature and serve only tiny portions so you can tell if your puppy actually ate something or not. Put the plate and some water in a small private room like your bathroom, or guest bathroom. Also, put a cloth potty pad in that area and close the door. Your puppy will not be distracted by people, noise, or toys and the only interesting thing to see should be the food. Wait at least 20 minutes and then check if he/she ate. If not you have to hand feed your baby. You can also throw little pieces and make it like a game. Not all puppies react the same way so you might have to get creative to get your puppy to eat.
If nothing works at all and your puppy won’t eat a thing, take a jar of Baby Gerber “Chicken & Gravy” from your emergency kit and feed it to your puppy with an oral syringe.  When syringe feeding a puppy, you have to get a firm grip on your puppy’s head and insert the syringe from the side, not from the front. If you are using a 6 cc oral syringe, you feed the amount in the syringe in 3 little squeezes. Give your puppy time to swallow. 1/2 jar will be good for the night and hopefully, your puppy will eat better the next morning. You can give another 1cc of Nutri-Cal before everyone goes to bed.

Your puppy might not be interested in the kibble dry food for now. It is important to get him/her to eat, and home cooking your pup’s meals will assure weight gain. Take your pup’s weight on a kitchen scale 2-3 times a week. Your pup should be gaining weight, not losing weight.
It takes some patience and juggling to wean your puppy off the cooked meals and transition to kibbles.

HealthyPaws is the insurance that we find to be the best for our pups is also the nationwide best-rated Pet Insurance in 2018, 2019, and 2020.
It has a 15 day waiting period and I suggest that you sign up at least 15 days prior to your puppy’s travel date so you will have coverage once you receive your pup.
The average monthly cost is between $23 and $50, with up to 90% reimbursement and only a $100 deductible. Puppies can have accidents! They can break a leg, swallow things, or simply get sick. The Pet Insurance for your puppy is of course optional but we highly recommend it.

Click here to listen: Home-made Beef Training Treats

When Jared got me the Freeze Drier for my Birthday, I started making dog treats from our beef and put them in the snack bags for your puppies when they traveled home with you. Many of you have asked if they could order some of these treats because the puppies just love them so much!

Only ingredient: 100% Grass-Fed Black Angus Lean Beef. Each bag contains about 200 treats.

We own about 50-70 head of black Angus Beef. Our cows graze on 500 acres in the Hidden Valley at Lake Totten in Cortez, Colorado. During the winter months, we feed them grass & alfalfa hay.
We only use very lean raw beef for our dog treats. The meat is cut, shock frozen and freeze-dried for 30+ hours. Freeze drying causes no damage to the nutritional value of fresh food. The freeze-drying process removes any moisture from the meat so it will stay good for many months without any preservatives.
What’s Grass-Fed Beef?
When you think of beef cattle, you probably think of cows, grazing on a pasture or munching on a haybale. But that’s not how it usually works.
Most beef cows live the first few months of their lives in a pasture feeding on grass. Grain-fed cows are then moved to a feedlot where they are fattened with corn and soy. They are given antibiotics and growth hormones and have limited exercise, so they gain weight faster than grass-finished beef cows.
Grass-fed cattle only feed on grass or hay and are never fed any grain or given growth hormones.
Most beef used in dog food and treats is from cows that are grain-fed, not grass-fed.
Is there a nutritional difference?
Yes! Grass-fed beef contains up to five times as much omega-3 as grain-fed beef. Dogs need high amounts of omega-3 because they can’t produce it on their own. What they eat is the sole source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids help support dogs’ hearts, joints, coasts, skin, and immune systems. Grass-fed beef also contains about twice as much Conjugated Linoleic Acid as grain-fed beef, which supports weight management and the development of lean muscle mass in dogs.
Grass-fed beef contains higher amounts of nutrients, like vitamin A, which supports optimal canine health, and vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant. Grass-fed beef tends to be richer in other antioxidants as well.
Most people do not like the look of raw meat, so I didn’t add any pictures here but you are welcome to text me at (970)882-3299 if you would like to see additional pictures or if you have any questions about our homemade beef treats.

Click here to listen: Can my puppy swim in the pool?

Never leave your puppy unsupervised near a swimming pool. Fix all holes in doors, gates, and fences before you bring your puppy home. Get a life vest for your puppy and show him where the stairs are and how to get out of the pool. There are products like a Swimming Pool Alarm or Pool Escape that you can buy online.

Biewer Terrier puppies are born with floppy ears that start standing up as they get older. During the first few months of their life, Biewer puppy ears have not yet developed the necessary cartilage and muscle strength to stand up on their own. We tape our puppy’s ears so ideally, they are standing nicely, by the time the puppies leave to their new homes.
Unshaved hair, travel or stress, teathing, dehydration, and other factors can cause your puppy’s ears to flop down. We recorded 2 videos for you to show you how to shave and tape them up if they flopped down.

Biewer Puppy Ear taping
We recommend using the Nexcare Flexible Clear Tape. You can order the tape on Amazon here. We also recommend the Bravura Mini Trimmer to shave the hair off the puppy ears before you tape them. Please remove the tape at least every 3 days and clean the ear with rubbing alcohol. If they flop down again, even after just a few hours, repeat the taping process for another 3 days.

It is very common that Biewer ears flop down again once the puppy is about 5-6 months old and going through a teething period. We recommend taping them during that time again. Strengthening the cartilage in your puppy’s ears through the use of dietary supplements can be helpful – but there’s no solid data on whether this will work. We found that chew toys and bully sticks support muscle training a lot!

There are several other methods that involve hair extension glue, “Breathe Right” strips, and other tapes. Please know that all of our Puppies have intact tails and dewclaws!

Click here to listen: What is Reverse Sneezing?

Reverse sneezing is a condition that affects all types of dogs, but more commonly smaller dogs such as little Terriers, and brachycephalic breeds. It is a “paroxysmal” respiratory response, resulting in spasm-like episodes just like “traditional’ sneezing. Biewer puppies might do it when they are excited, after waking up, or after drinking water. Some do it a lot and some do it less. As Biewers get older, they usually grow out of reverse sneezing. There is nothing you need to do or to worry about. If you want to help stop it, rub your pup’s throat gently or you can also try to cover the nostrils for a few seconds.

When is the best time to spay or neuter a Biewer Terrier puppy?

The best time is between 7 and 9 months of age. This is when the puppy is old enough to recover from the surgery and before they have their first heat cycle (for females) or reach sexual maturity (for males).

Should retained baby teeth be pulled during the procedure?

Yes, retained baby teeth should be pulled during the spaying or neutering procedure. This is because retained baby teeth can cause crowding and misalignment of the adult teeth, which can lead to dental problems.

How much does it cost to spay or neuter a Biewer Terrier puppy?

The cost of spaying or neutering a Biewer Terrier puppy will vary depending on your location and the veterinarian you choose. In general, the cost ranges from $100 to $500.

spay neuter Biewer Terrierspay neuter Biewer Terrier

How long does the recovery period last?

The recovery period for spaying or neutering a Biewer Terrier puppy is usually about 5-10 days. During this time, your puppy will need to be kept calm and quiet and ideally wear a spay once. The incision site will need to be monitored for signs of infection.
