Shar Pei Breeders To Avoid

By Melissa Coleman

After a lot of discussion and a few family votes you have all decided that you want a Shar Pei as the new family pet. Now that you have made that decision it is time to start the most difficult and important process in the life of your pet. You need to compile a list of Shar Pei breeders to talk to.

You can cut your time way down by using some trusted sources to eliminate any of the shady breeders and then focus your time on the breeders that will potentially sell you your new family pet.You should always ask a breeder what national breeder registry they belong with as a first level of questioning.

If they are not listed with a registry then ask them what standards they adhere to and what guidelines they run their business by if they are not using nationally recognized standards and guidelines.

You can never underestimate the value of the information that your vet has to offer and there is no better time to talk to your vet, or start a conversation with one, than during the process of weeding out bad Shar Pei breeders. If your vet has a strongly negative opinion about any of the Shar Pei breeders you are considering then you may want to move on and consider other breeders. Your vet only wants to see you get the best pet you can so their advice is a great resource.

Sometimes when you meet a breeder everything seems great on the outside but if you ask local law enforcement about them then you find an entirely different story. If a breeder's history is cataloged with the local police then you may want to stay away from that breeder and find a new group of Shar Pei breeders to talk to for your sake and the sake of your future pet.

You should utilize every resource at your disposal when considering Shar Pei breeders and one of the resources you can use is the Internet. If a breeder has an especially bad reputation then there may be warnings about them on the Internet that you can read and will save you a lot of time and hassle.

It is important to know what other people think and you can find out opinions on just about anything by doing a search on the internet and much of that information can be quite valuable.

Searching for a breeder is an important search and your final decision is very important to your family and your future pet so take your time and utilize all of your resources before you make your final decision. You can save yourself a lot of time if you just use the information available to you to eliminate breeders that are not worth talking to.

How To Tell Your Havanese Breeder Is Respectable

By Fiona Kelly

For any dog lover, having a healthy pup means the world. But what happens when your pup comes from a puppy broker who is unconcerned with the health issues that can plague a certain breed? Havanese puppies are quickly gaining in popularity around the world for both dog lovers and competitors alike. Havanese breeders are hard pressed to keep up with the demand for these loveable dogs, as the strict testing that pups must undergo to ensure they are healthy often leads to a wait of several months to a year or more for a healthy pup.

Due to the fact that the original genetic pool that the Havanese we now see was limited to a very small number of dogs (about eleven), there are a great many genetic health problems that a Havanese breeder must test their puppies for prior to making them available for sale. This often leads to a wait of several months or years to be able to fill just a single order for a healthy Havanese pup. Brokers bypass this step, and so often the dogs found in pet stores will not meet the exacting requirements for a healthy Havanese.

One of the most important questions you should ask of any Havanese breeder you are considering buying a pup from, is whether or not you will be allowed to verify that all of the necessary medical testing has been done before you pay the balance in full.

A dishonest puppy broker will generally not offer this information, as they don't want people to look into their dishonest business practices. But an honest Havanese breeder will be more than happy to provide you with all of the documentation you need to ensure you are getting the pup you paid for.

This includes any registration papers and medical testing certificate pertaining to the pup in question. If you have never had any dealings with the Havanese breeder you have chosen in the past, it is vital that you research any documentation you are given. Call the association that your breeder says the pup is registered with and be sure to call the veterinarian listed on the paperwork to verify that proper testing has been performed.

When you consider the fact that a single Havanese puppy can cost you well over $1000, it seems only obvious that most people would want to make certain that they were getting their money's worth in the pup they chose. Sadly, many people are simply in too much of a hurry to have their highly coveted dog right away to ensure that the practices of the Havanese breeder they have chosen are respectable and honest.

If you are unsure of how to choose a quality Havanese breeder, you should talk to your veterinarian, or to your local kennel club, and ask for a recommendation as to which Havanese breeder they hold in the highest regard.

Remember, these adorable little pups are going to provide you with a lifetime of love and affection and it is worth the wait to ensure that you have a properly tested, and properly registered dog.

Training Labrador Rescue Dogs

By Brooke Sunderland

Law enforcement and natural disaster response teams are often largely dependent upon the help of rescue dogs (or search-and-rescue dogs) to find trapped or lost human beings, or sometimes, in the worst cases, corpses. The most common breeds favored for this kind of work are Burmese mountain dogs, Saint Bernards and, last but certainly not least, Labrador Retrievers. The successful training of a Labrador rescue dog in particular is dependent on several factors, including the dedication of the handler, and the disposition of the dog.

Burmese mountain dogs, Saint Bernards and Labrador Retrievers are among the most common breeds favored for search-and-rescue training. Their roles may include all or some of the following: wilderness rescue, avalanche searches, drowning searches, natural disasters, and in some cases, corpse retrieval.

Labrador rescue dogs in particular, being one of the more common breeds, are generally classified as one of the following: air scenting, tracking, or trailing. Air scenting dogs are trained to follow airborne human scents, while tracking and trailing dogs follow scent trails that have been deposited on the ground. Each of these types is limited by terrain and changing atmospheric conditions.

Because every dog is different, the training is as important to the handler as it is for the dog. The handler needs to become familiar with the dog's body language, so as to be certain that he has indeed made a find. When the rescue dog follows a scent or trail to its end, for example, the dog may return to the handler and give him a certain look.

Like human beings, Labradors have their own personalities and eccentricities. It is important for the handler to become familiar with the body language of the dog that they are training. For example ? a dog may have a distinct stance when they have made a find in the field. The dog may return to the handler, sit, and give him a very distinct look, or perhaps even bark. As a result, one of the most important things to keep in mind while training a rescue dog is the bond that is being developed.

For the typical Labrador rescue dog, obedience, socialization and agility should be trained daily, between two and five times, for anywhere from ten minutes to one hour. Scent training can be conducted slightly less often, three to seven days per week, for five to thirty minutes.

Generally, a rescue dog's skills will improve rapidly, if not daily. It is important to maintain skill training in obedience as well as agility and socialization. Scent training can be taught less often as the dog progresses, eventually decreasing to three to five times per week.

As training sessions become fewer, however, duration should increase to between twenty and sixty minutes. Focus sessions, such as scent discrimination, should become frequent as well, but only after the dog has proven its proficiency in the training area.

The Playful Golden Retriever

By Carol Matthews

Many families consider getting a Golden Retriever for a family pet. This is understandable, considering the affable personality of the Golden Retriever. Golden retrievers are very people-friendly and great with children, which makes for a terrific family pet. The Golden Retriever was specifically bred for the qualities it has ? agility, hunting skill, confident, love of people, eager to please, loyal, strong sense of smell and tracking ability. It is a mix of various sporting breeds, along with some bloodhound to sharpen its sense of smell.

Though the breed was first begun in the 1800's, it was officially recognized as a breed in Great Britain in 1913, after an exciting history. Sir Dudley Majoribanks, who was from Scotland, created the mix from a variety of sporting breeds and adding in some bloodhound to increase its sense of smell.

He first crossed a wavy-coated Retriever with a yellow Tweed Water Spaniel. The offspring from that breeding was crossed with an Irish Setter and a sandy-colored Bloodhound. Eventually, we got the Golden Retriever as it is today. The Golden Retriever has been gaining in popularity all over the world, which is not surprising, given the people-friendly qualities they possess.

Best if they are a mid-gold color with no white patches, the Golden Retriever is a mid-size, well-proportioned dog. They learn easily, especially when young, and it is best to obedience train them from when they are puppies rather than try to fix bad habits once they are older. They can be highly trained, however, and that makes them very useful for law enforcement, with tracking or finding narcotics, but also very useful as guide dogs for the disabled. They are also being used more as a rescue dog.

Golden Retrievers can be easy to train, as long as it is begun when they are still young, as bad habits can be hard to extinguish. As puppies, they are very playful, and it is important to teach them to be gentle and not too rough, as well as where they are allowed to be in the house.

Golden Retrievers make great pets. If you are going to have a Golden Retriever for a pet, you need to remember a few things. First, have your puppy obedience trained, so that it learns good behaviors instead of having to try to get rid of the bad habits later.

A few of the things you will want your puppy to learn is to come when called, to not bark incessantly, and yet to let you know if a stranger is approaching. Also, remember that your dog will need regular exercise, preferably by going for a walk and seeing new sights outside. Dogs that get exercised don't get into as much mischief.

The exercise will help their pet stay actively stimulated by its environment, so that it doesn't exhibit boredom behavior, like digging holes and ruining furniture. The Golden Retriever also needs positive attention. As a breed, they are typically eager to please, and love to get accolades from their owners. They can be taught to do tricks fairly easily, which their owner can enjoy and encourage, along with encouraging other positive behaviors.

The Boston Terrier Breed Standard

By Wendy Caples

A breed standard is a breed organization's blueprint of what the ideal dog should look and act like. This is what a show dog like a purebred Boston Terrier is judged against. Instead of being compared to the other dogs in the ring, the dog is compared to how well they fit the breed standard. This is usually what breeders strive to achieve in their breeding programs. A breed standard is the Holy Writ of the dog world.

The charming personality of the Boston Terrier is not only one reason why it is so popular, but also why they do so well outside of a show ring or a breeding kennel. The purpose of developing the breed was to make a good pet for people, unlike other breeds bred to hunt, fight or herd livestock. They are lively, kind, easy-going and good with kids and senior citizens as well as other animals.

The breed standard also reveals another reason why the Boston Terrier is so popular. They are small, but not so small as to jeopardize their health. They are robust, but portable. Although you may find some Boston Terriers outside the lines, they are usually fifteen to twenty-five pounds and only about fifteen inches high at their shoulders. They are most famous in black and white, but also come in seal and white and brindle and white. The breed standard is quite strict on the distribution of white around the body, which disqualifies a lot of Boston Terriers from the ring.

The breed standard also emphasizes sturdiness. They are not to have physical weaknesses like swaybacks, spayed legs, very slow gait or look overly muscular. Their bodies should look sturdy but everything should be in proportion. And the tails are naturally very short, although occasionally a purebred is born with a long tail. The ears are perky and most of the time they are pointed (occasionally a floppy eared one comes along).

But part of the Boston Terrier breed standard that best helps you identify one of this breed is the temperament. Thankfully, the temperament in a Boston Terrier has always been considered just as important as their looks. Boston Terriers were bred purposefully to be companion animals. They are happy, trainable, lively and like to get along with others.

The breed they most look like is the French Bulldog.

In looking at the Boston Terrier breed standard, you can see not only if your shelter dog is a Boston Terrier (or mostly Boston Terrier), but also get to see how hard it is for a show dog to win a class. But their winning personalities often get them out of trouble in new homes that they got into in their previous homes.

Boston Terriers are usually abandoned through no fault of their own, but because they are so cute and small, as people often buy them on impulse.

Should You Trust Your Veterinarian's Nutritional Advice

By Ike Lowe

Many pet owners believe that Veterinarians are thoroughly qualified to dispense nutritional advice. Most believe their nutritional training, without question, is second to none. We have been brainwashed to the point of not even considering the possibility that our Vets may not be as nutritionally trained as we might believe.

Some cat owners assume that the commercial pet food industry cares about our cats and we never consider another possibility. They produce ads that tell us their foods are good for our cats. They tell us that if we follow their advice, our pets would realize the same beneficial results as the pets in their commercials.

Unsuspecting pet owners believe what they hear and buy the advertised pet food. Some commercial pet food companies even place a premium price on their products to convince pet owners their product is superior in quality.

That's what we've been told now let me tell you the truth

Little training to Vets is administered in Vet schools and that training is often given by persons that are loyal to the pet food companies. The commercial pet food companies donate money, equipment, banners and free food to Veterinarian schools. What a great long-term business plan - it's buying loyalty and it puts money in the pockets of commercial pet food companies and the Veterinarians.

If the Veterinarians never question what they've been taught and chooses not to do any independent research, they will continue their loyalty to the pet food industry until they retire.

Our domestic cats' diet should closely resemble the diets of the wild cats that roam the African and asian continents. Commercial pet food companies make these unproveable claims that their foods are nutritional, wholesome, 100% natural and complete. The truth is that their foods violate the fact that cats are carnivores and should never eat stuff they call food.

Cats are obligate carnivores. Their physiology is not designed to digest most of the ingredients that most pet food companies put in their foods. The grains and other carbohydrates will cause illnesses in cats. They should be avoided.

Preservatives like; Ethoxyquin, BHA and BHT have been liked to cancer and other health-related problems. Consumer complaints have flooded the Food and Drug Administration regarding illnesses suffered by their pets when fed food containing these preservatives by the FDA has chosen not to act.

In the final analysis, I've shared with you information that many Veterinarians are ill-equipped to provide nutritional advise for your cat or dog. Moreover, many Vets are bought and paid for by the pet food industry and their main objective is to make money.

Many Vets are in direct violation of the oath and creed they're sworn to uphold - "First do no harm." They sell, in their offices, foods that are harmful to your pet.

It's incumbent on you to learn what foods are beneficial for your cat(s). You need to take control of their diets thereby ensuring that they are getting wholesome foods that are beneficial to them.
