Usually, it happens around day 14. In this period the bitch’s discharge changes for distinctive red and reaching its end. The vulva gets back to average, and she will no longer allow mating. The fourth part called the Anestrus. The time span between heat periods ordinarily keeps going around a half year. The litter size ranges between 6 to 8 puppies at a time’

Training

Kuwaz has deep intelligence and determination and is extremely dedicated to his family. While these qualities make them wonderful companions, they can also challenge the novice dog owner. Early socialization and puppy training classes are a must for the Kuwaz puppy. Kuvas training takes patience, as this independent breed gradually matures. Sensitive problem-solvers, Kuwaz do not respond well to rigorous or repetitive training techniques. Kuvas was reared to protect livestock, and is a natural protector and will protect family, home and property.

Nutrition

Having developed into a strong, active Working Dog, Kuvas needs daily activity for his health and happiness. A fitted yard is required for this large and agile dog. Adequate and controlled exercise is a requirement for a fast-growing Kuwaz puppy.

Exercise

Kuwaz should perform well on high quality dog ​​food, whether it is commercially manufactured or prepared with the supervision and approval of your vet. Any diet should be appropriate for the age of the dog (puppy, adult or senior). Some dogs are at risk of being overweight, so watch your dog’s calorie consumption and weight level. Treatment training can be an important aid, but giving too much can lead to obesity. Know which human foods are safe for dogs, and which are not. If you have any concerns about your dog’s weight or diet, check with your vet. Clean, fresh water must be available at all times. Like many large dogs, kuwaz can develop bloat, or gastric dilatation-volvulus (GDV), where the stomach expands and turns.

Owners should learn what signs to look for and what they should do.
