I need your help !
I always have feel like a member of a cat family , since past weekend I'm taking care of Bes , a lost dog , he's wonderful even if the photo doesn't make justice.
He's 2 or 3 years old , very friendly.If nobody ask for him , I'll adopt him of course , there's room enough for him , a big garden to run and play and lots of love to take care about him.

My only problem is that I never have had a dog before.
Any advice welcome.
Thank you for your help ,

Mambe

Dogs are pretty easy to take care of. With a newly found dog, it's probably a good idea to take him to the vet for a checkup. You never know, he could need doggy medicine and you wouldn't know it. Other than that, all a dog needs is a place to sleep, love, food, love, water, love, exercise, and, oh yes, love. Give him all that and you should be both be set!

Good luck!

Good looking dog! Give him lots of love, attention and walks. The best thing you can do for any animal is lots of "touch". Pet him often, it gets him use to you and develops respect for you.

Don't feed him anything but hard food, no canned or soft stuff, its like taffy on the teeth and will rot them quickly. For treats, I use dry cat food. My dogs go nuts over it. Thats what I use for training too.

Also, taking the dog to the vet could help locating the owner as the dog may have a tatoo or embedded microchip.

From another site:

Things to think about:

(From Dog Owner's Guide - an online resource for dog owners.

But like other's have said, check the shelters, newspaper, have him checked for a microchip or tattoo. Can't imagine something that sweet and beautiful not being missed by someone.

LOL, you call that easy?

Sorry, being owned by 4 dogs and 8 cats I find the two bigger dogs to be quite the challenge at times. They need lots of attention and training, if the dog isn't already trained, you will want to get it trained. What exactly you decide to teach it is your business but basic commands of "come, sit, stay, heel" are essential to your mental well being as well as the dog's safety.
