Large &
Giant Breed Puppy
This formula is designed for those puppies
that will reach 50 pounds or more as an
adult. Its triple meat protein source builds
good solid muscle, providing optimum calcium
and phosphorus. In addition, there are
slightly fewer calories so that puppies
dont gain too much weight before their
bodies are ready to support it.

THIS is why you do not walk your dogs on asphalt or concrete
in the summer. If you see someone walking their dogs on
asphalt or concrete, PLEASE educated them and get the pet to
cooler ground. Original post was from Pet Ambulance Victoria
This should be sent to all the veterinarians including the specialists!
DOG PARK ALERT
We have received two notices.
(1) Nails wrapped in cheese at dog parks in Chicago and
Massachusetts (see pic). (2) from some friends that in
Augusta Maine dog park, antifreeze is being found in doggie
water bowls. Please beware and be careful and PLEASE SHARE
and spread the word
Ever wonder where puppy mill dogs come from? Here's an
example. Many get cooked alive in the sun and freeze to
death in the winter. If you purchase your dog from a pet
store, I can guarantee your "AKC" certified dog came from a
place like this. This one is even better than the ones
I saw in Iowa and Missouri!
Do you recognize she is a Yorkie?
Please do not purchase your pet from a Pet shop, Backyard
breeder or Commercial Puppy Mill.

BLOAT
Click chart to view larger version |
This is a real
combination of symptoms that spells out EMERGENCY. These are the classic
symptoms of a condition referred to as "bloat" - a dog that is pacing,
restless and has unproductive attempts to vomit.
This is a common problem in large breed
deep-chested dogs but can also occur in smaller dogs.
Basically what happens is this - the
stomach twists causing the blood supply to the stomach to be compromised
then leads to tissue death. As tissues are damaged, toxins are released
and a sequence of events occurs that if left untreated, leads to death.
If you ever notice these symptoms in
your dog, call your local veterinarian or emergency clinic as soon as
possible.
This is a condition that is fairly
common and often occurs in the evening or nighttime hours. It is also a
very expensive condition to treat.

Dealing with Excessive Barking
The first step to stopping barking is to understand why it is
happening. Dogs bark for all kinds of reasons, including
anxiety, boredom and/or loneliness. Sometimes they bark just
because it feels good. Luckily, most dogs will respond to
one or other intervention to curtail their barking. Whether you
simply bring an outdoor dog inside or take the time to apply
behavior-modification techniques, you can cause a dog to be less
of a nuisance and to be more socially acceptable. |
Removing Skunk Odor
|
|
No need for the tomato juice. Use a mixture of 10 parts hydrogen
peroxide to 1 part baking soda. Add a dash of degreasing
dishwashing soap and pour into a spray bottle. Spray liberally
over dry coat and allow to air dry. Avoid eyes. Works on other
objects, too! |

WHAT IS A BACKYARD BREEDER?
The term backyard breeder
refers to people who breed dogs, but are ignorant of
things such as, Breed Standard for the breed in
which they are breeding, Genetic Traits and faults
to that specific Breed that they are breeding,
Proper anatomy of a dog, Proper nutrition of
animals, inexperienced in breeding any kind of
animals, A heart to do good, but with no knowledge
in which to do it and of course Selective
Breeding goals and techniques( In
general, the owners of the animals use three
strategies to refine local populations:
linebreeding(one bloodline, or strain) or inbreeding
(mating closely related individuals), to facilitate
the weeding-out of undesired characteristics and the
fixation of desired traits. Inbreeding and
linebreeding are controversial aspects of artificial
selection, but have been practiced for
centuries), others are focused exclusively on a
standard and do little genetic screening or Co-efficent
of Inbreeding calculations.
(Results
of inbreeding
Inbreeding may result in a far
higher expression of
deleterious (In the biological and medical
sciences, deleterious means something
harmful, such as:
-
In genetics, a deleterious
mutation, meaning a mutation that results
in a negative consequence for the organism,
usually at the whole animal level.)
recessive
genes within a population than would normally
be expected. As a result first generation inbred
individuals are more likely to show physical and
health defects, including:
-
reduced
fertility both in litter size and in sperm
viability
-
increased genetic
disorders
-
fluctuating
facial asymmetry
-
lower
birth rate
-
higher infant mortality
-
slower growth rate
-
smaller adult size
-
loss of
immune system function.
Natural selection works to remove
individuals who acquire the above types of traits
from the gene pool, therefore many more, in the
first generation of inbreeding, will never live to
reproduce. In biology, the fittest are those who
survive and breed. Over time, with isolation such as
a population bottleneck, caused by purposeful (assortative)
breeding or natural environmental stresses, the
deleterious inherited traits are culled.) Many
working breeds are bred for appearance rather than
working ability. People who have not considered
these factors often stint their breeding stock in
terms of veterinary care and adequate maintenance.
The puppies they produce may have genetic disorders
or undisclosed illnesses, but will often try to sell
their stock before they become evident to buyers.
They rarely screen potential buyers or inform them
on breeds whose care and maintenance may be
inappropriate for their lifestyle.
When such breeding is carried out on
a large scale, the venue is called a PUPPY MILL
(especially in North America) or puppy farm.
Other categories of backyard
breeders noted by dog clubs include parents who wish
to breed animals so that their children can
experience the process. These people may not be
motivated by profit but have not adequately
considered that they may be adding to the population
of unhealthy or unwanted dogs. Backyard breeding is
also blamed for the proliferation of aggressive dogs
for the usually illegal sports of baiting and dog
fighting, and to defend venues of criminal activity.
Aggressive dogs are also important to the macho
image of men in some segments of society. Dog
fanciers generally believe that such ill-bred dogs
are the reason for the bad reputation of some breeds
in the public perception, and the resulting
breed-specific legislation.
Remember...if the price is too good
to be true...there's something wrong.
"Deciding to
become a breeder is not to be taken lightly and if
you do decide that that is what you want to do you
need to research bloodlines, problems that are
specific to our breed...staying away from bloodlines
with Mega Esophagus, torsion, Degerative Myopathy,
Juvenile Kidney problems...dogs can be tested and
certified for some of these problems. You need to
learn to keep only dogs certified clear of these
problems and choose only those dogs that have the
structure, temperament and trainability of a real
German Shepherd. Good breeders only breed for the
love of the breed, not the love of an individual dog
and certainly not for financial gain". Dyan
