Are Bones good for your
dog?
|
Bottom
Line...no! Bones are not good for your dog. Dogs may
ingest splinters from bones that can lodge in their mouths
or around their teeth or worse yet bone chips can get caught
in the intestines and cause an obstruction, internal
bleeding and impaction.
One bone can cost several hundred dollars up
to thousands of dollars for surgery if your dog is the
unlucky one. Even when surgery is done your pet may
die. So why take the chance?
The best 'bones' on the market are the
Nylabones®. Just make sure that you get the
appropriate size for the size of your dog. These bones
are relatively indestructible and are often flavored.
Your dog will get hours, days, and years from one of these
chew bones.
Nylabones® are the only bones we allow our
dogs to have.

The Importance of Puppy Socialization
From the very start, a puppy learns important lessons through his experience
of
the world around him. Even in the first few weeks as he snuggles with his
dam, wrestles with his littermates, and is handled by his breeder each day,
the personality traits and social skills that he will have all his life are
beginning to form.
As the weeks go by, exposure to a variety of experiences is crucial to his
becoming a well-rounded adult. Studies have shown that a puppy's experiences
in the first three months of life strongly influence what kind of companion
he will grow to be and how he will react to the world. Will he shy away from
children? Will he be afraid of people in hats? Will he be aggressive toward
other dogs? Or will he be easygoing and adaptable in a variety of
situations?

Dealing Dogs
Documentary
An animal rights outfit, Last Chance for
Animals, outraged that 42,000 dogs are sold to vet schools
and research labs by vile kennel keepers, sets out on one of
the most notorious: Martin Creek Kennel in Arkansas. It sent
in investigator "Pete" with a hidden camera for six months.
He worked for the owners and collected his sickening images
and commentated on the atrocities as he went. Many of
the dogs that ended up at this kennel had been stolen from
their
backyards and sold. Not just
from Arkansas but in areas around St. Louis Mo and all
throughout the south.

How to encourage Your Dog to Drink if he is not Feeling
Well.
|
|
Proper hydration is crucial in the healing process;
however, the ill or painful dog may not be interested in
drinking. It is important NOT to force water into your
dog, as it could lead to aspiration pneumonia if your
dog is not swallowing appropriately. Listed below
are several options to encourage your dog to intake
water.
1. Give your dog an ice
cube to lick.
2. Allow your dog to lick
water from your hand or your finger.
3. Feed canned dog food, as
it has a higher water content.
4. Add warm water or
low-sodium broth to your dog's food.
5. With your veterinarian's
permission, offer small amounts of Pedialyte.
6. Adding an ice cube to
the water bowl can encourage some dogs to drink.
If your dog is weak and not interested in food or water,
see your veterinarian. |
|
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.

GOT FLEAS?
Place a white baking dish half full of water with a
couple drops of Lemon Joy dishwashing liquid in the center of the room
with a small lamp next to it. Turn off all other lights and go to
bed. When you wake up in the morning all the fleas will be in the
baking dish! For a bad infestation treat each room twice.
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! |

Scroll to bottom of page to see
puppy Pricing & Guarantee (Selections - Supreme
Ultimate, Ultimate, Exceptional, etc) are also explained
with the prices)
Please note:
Due to the high cost of
Importing/Titling/Hip
and Elbow certifications of our
young adults in Germany
& paying top dollar for only the best Imported titled
females we can produce these
World Class puppies for those who want the very best.
Because of this cost we have no puppies to sell priced under $1500.
(Please book early for the "Choice" puppies;
Puppy reservations at this price are limited
and will be accepted in the
order the deposit payment is received.
*'Choice' puppies are not always available in every litter)
Some German Shepherd owners are told one sex
is better than the other— this is nonsense.
The German Shepherd's character and behavioral skills are
learned at a young age and it really
comes down to how well the puppy has been bred genetically
and socialized not what the sex is. There is a difference in size between the male and the female.
Males are usually 100 pounds plus and females are generally
70 pounds plus from these bloodlines.

German Shepherds
that are used for breeding by
Haus Merkel
are
selected to produce maximum health, structure,
temperament, trainability, longevity and size in
their puppies. As a responsible German
Shepherd Breeder we are constantly trying to
improve the breed with every breeding.
We extensively study the pedigrees, structure and
the genetics of each German Shepherd mother and
father prior to breeding. Nothing is left to
chance from jet black eyes, rich pigment and red
color to tight feet, large bone and big strong heads
and muzzels. We also never forget breeding for
outstanding trainability, endurance and
intelligence, mental soundness,
superb and
predictable temperament
creating the ideal German Shepherd for you
and your family.
We do no inbreeding!
