How to Get the Best Dog Pen



If you desire to supply ample space to your dog where he can run all over and play without running into you each time. Dog owners who would look into acquiring this are people that do not have sufficient space in their backyard or those who do not have a fence to secure their property. In both these situations, you can go ahead and get your puppy his own pen.
Nearly all of the designs are produced from tough components that will stand the wear and tear of time as well as the habitual attack of the pet if he feels like it. A majority of these pens are also effortless to put away, just fold them up and everything should be prepared for storage.
It is possible to pick ones that offer a large enough room to your dog or just get one for a relatively small puppy. It is possible to select the kind of dog pen according to your wants, for example, you'll be able to get a dog pen meant for the outside the house and you are able to also find a puppy pen intended only for indoors.
The majority of of these dog pens are going to be created from long lasting fabric that contains various patterns. These are excellent for keeping in your puppies during times when you really don't want them to become running all over the property. Just make certain that you simply check out the price so that you will recognize what to expect.
As soon as your puppy gets used to the dog pen, he'll immediately go in it whenever you ask him to. It's going to turn into a sign of security for your pet and he may even stop barking so much while inside and just learn to get pleasure from it.
Most of the time, you need to be capable to have the pen assembled yourself. You have all the parts you require and you must put it together. It's uncomplicated to set up and you're able to move it about on your own without having any headaches.

Responsible dog breeding


Breeding a litter of puppies can be very rewarding, but if you are new to dog breeding, you should remember that it can also be a costly and time consuming experience. The dog breeding section is full of useful information if you are considering becoming a breeder and we hope established dog breeders will use it as a reference tool.  Please click on the links to the right to find out more.
The full range of Kennel Club Registration Formsare available to download from this site, please use this section to access the full range of up to date registration forms.
Whether you are already an experienced dog breeder, or perhaps you are just starting out and want to breed in a responsible manner, then the Kennel Club Accredited Breeder Scheme may be of interest to you. The aim of the Scheme is to provide a framework to encourage the breeding of healthy, well-adjusted puppies. It lays down a series of requirements that breeders must follow in order to participate in the scheme. Once accepted onto the Scheme, Kennel Club Accredited Breeders may use the scheme literature and, if they use the Kennel Club Find a Puppy service, their litters will be highlighted to show that a Kennel Club Accredited Breeder has posted them and much more.
If you are contemplating dog breeding, there are certain questions that you will need to ask yourself before proceeding: 
  • Have I the time to devote to a litter until the puppies are old enough to go to their new homes, which is usually around eight weeks?
  • Am I knowledgeable enough to advise new owners about the various aspects of caring for their puppies, including rearing, diet, training and health problems? Can I afford to pay for the recommended health tests for the bitch prior to mating her and, where necessary, her litter?
  • Do I know enough to help the bitch during the whelping, if necessary?
  • Can I afford to pay for a caesarean should the dam have difficulty whelping the litter?
  • Could I cope with a very large litter of, say, 10 or 12 puppies?
  • Do I have sufficient knowledge to rear the litter correctly, including on worming, vaccinations and socialisation?
  • Would I be able to find good homes for the puppies?
  • Am I in a position to take back or re-home any puppies if it becomes necessary?
If you have not been able to say yes to all of the above questions, then dog breeding may not be for you. You may therefore wish to consider having your bitch spayed to prevent unwanted or unplanned pregnancies; your breed club or the breeder of your bitch may be able to provide you with further expert advice.
If you have been able to say yes to all of the above questions, do not forget that you will also need to keep the following in mind:
  • Responsible dog breeders believe that each litter that they breed, should be an improvement on the parents.
  • Responsible dog breeders give careful consideration to health issues, temperament and soundness.
  • Responsible dog breeders plan ahead of each mating so as to ensure that each puppy produced will be bred in the best possible environment.
  • Responsible dog breeders accept responsibility for a puppy which they have bred, and make themselves available to give advice, help and information to new owners.

Dozens of dogs slaughtered in New Zealand's 'worst animal cruelty case'

Police in New Zealand have seized weapons used by two New slaughter more than 30 dogs owned by a neighbor in what animal welfare authorities said could be the country's worst animal cruelty case.

Inspectors from the nation's Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, shocked at the slaughter near the main city of Auckland, said it planned to file charges over the killings when it finishes forensic examination of the dead dogs.
Police are investigating the incident, looking at firearms' registration and possible charges of reckless discharge of a gun, spokesman Kevin Loughlin said.
Media reports said Russell Mendoza had confronted neighbor Rowan Hargreaves complaining that one of Mr Hargreaves' 39 dogs had killed his fox terrier. Mr Mendoza and another man, armed with a .22 rifle and a shotgun, later returned to Mr Hargreaves' property and shot 33 dogs, including 23 puppies and very young dogs.
"It was a haunting scene of death and destruction, and I struggle to comprehend what took place there," SPCA investigator Sascha Keltie said.
She said bullet entry and exit wounds to some of the dogs indicated they had not died instantly, and blood trails were consistent with an injured dog moving. Another inspector, Vicki Border, said the shooters seemed to be on a "frenzied mission."
SPCA inspectors, who are government appointees, are empowered to file animal cruelty charges under New Zealand law. The men could face up to three years in prison.
SPCA executive director Bob Kerridge said the case was among the worst his staff had ever seen.

My friends Puppy passed away

Today is a very painful day for my firend and her family.

I sold her a puppy 2 months ago. It is a female miniature Pinscher. I named her Donabelle but they called he "dagis"

Dagis has been sick for almost two weeks before they brought her to the veterinarian. Shes having seizures, and cold feet. I told my friend to give her a drop of paracetamol and provide a proper lighting to her cage. But they didnt. They gave her a paracetamol yes, but they didnt give light. The weather here in the Philippines is very cold and the virus is very fast to spread.

When they took Dagis to the veterinarian, Shes got high fever already. The vet gave some medicines and told them to come back after a week. but they didnt. They came back after 9 days when Dagis is having seizures again and her body is so cold and very short breathing.

Dagis died in the Vets clinics and all of us were saddened. I brought my friends family here in our house to show how we take care of our puppies and told them how important is the lightings in every puppies cage specially during this cold season...

Where do People Get Their Dogs


A recent survey of people who have gotten pets (cats as well as dogs) within the past 12 months. I thought the findings were kind of interesting:


25% got their pet from a family member
24% got their pet from a shelter (those making more than $55,000 a year are more likely to choose this option than those making less)
19% took in a stray
12% bought from a purebred breeder
8% bought from a pet store
5% kept the offspring of their own pet

In another finding, 42% of people who added a dog or cat to their family did NO research before making the move. This is scary because the number one reason why animals are dropped off at shelters is because the pet didn’t meet the expectations of the family. Kind of hard to have realistic expectations when you don’t do your research first.
Come back tomorrow to take our Saturday Survey so we can all find out if our readers mirror the general population or not.

Did You Know? PART 1

  • The Chihuahua comes in two varieties: long and smooth coat.
  • The Toltecs, who existed in what is now Mexico as early as the 9th century AD, possessed a breed of dog called the Techichi. The breed was small, but not tiny, and heavy-boned. This breed, regarded as indigenous to Central America, is the progenitor of the Chihuahua that exists today.
  • The breed derives its name from the Mexican State of Chihuahua, where the earliest specimens of the breed were found.
  • The Chihuahua is clannish, preferring companions of his own breed.
  • Pictures of dogs resembling the modern Chihuahua appear in ancient paintings in Mexico.
  • It is assumed that the small size of the modern Chihuahua results from a cross of the Techichi with the small hairless dog brought from Asia to Alaska over the land bridge that is now the Bering Strait.

Chihuahua Breed Standard

General Appearance
A graceful, alert, swift-moving compact little dog with saucy expression, and with terrier-like qualities of temperament.

Size, Proportion, Substance
Weight – A well balanced little dog not to exceed 6 pounds.
Proportion – The body is off-square; hence, slightly longer when measured from point of shoulder to point of buttocks, than height at the withers. Somewhat shorter bodies are preferred in males.  
DisqualificationAny dog over 6 pounds in weight. 

Head
A well rounded "apple dome" skull, with or without molera.  
Expression – Saucy.
Eyes - Full, round, but not protruding, balanced, set well apart-luminous dark or luminous ruby. Light eyes in blond or white-colored dogs permissible. Blue eyes or a difference in the color of the iris in the two eyes, or two different colors within one iris should be considered a serious fault.
Ears – Large, erect type ears, held more upright when alert, but flaring to the sides at a 45 degree angle when in repose, giving breadth between the ears.
Stop – Well defined. When viewed in profile, it forms a near 90 degree angle where muzzle joins skull. Muzzle – Moderately short, slightly pointed. Cheeks and jaws lean.
Nose – Self-colored in blond types, or black. In moles, blues, and chocolates, they are self-colored. In blond types, pink noses permissible.
Bite – Level or scissors. Overshot or undershot, or any distortion of the bite or jaw, should be penalized as a serious fault. A missing tooth or two is permissible.
DisqualificationsBroken down or cropped ears.

Neck, Topline, Body
Neck – Slightly arched, gracefully sloping into lean shoulders.
Topline – Level.
Body – Ribs rounded and well sprung (but not too much "barrel-shaped").  
Tail – Moderately long, carried sickle either up or out, or in a loop over the back with tip just touching the back.
(Never tucked between legs.)  
DisqualificationsDocked tail, bobtail.

Forequarters
Shoulders – Lean, sloping into a slightly broadening support above straight forelegs that set well under, giving free movement at the elbows. Shoulders should be well up, giving balance and soundness, sloping into a level back (never down or low). This gives a well developed chest and strength of forequarters.  
Feet – A small, dainty foot with toes well split up but not spread, pads cushioned. (Neither the hare nor the cat foot.) Dewclaws may be removed.
Pasterns – Strong.

Hindquarters
Muscular, with hocks well apart, neither out nor in, well let down, firm and sturdy.  
Angulation – Should equal that of forequarters. The feet are as in front. Dewclaws may be removed.

Coat
 
Smooth Coats, the coat should be of soft texture, close and glossy. (Heavier coats with undercoats permissible.) Coat placed well over body with ruff on neck preferred, and more scanty on head and ears. Hair on tail preferred furry.
  Long Coats, the coat should be of a soft texture, either flat or slightly wavy, with undercoat preferred. 
Ears – Fringed.
Tail – Full and long (as a plume). Feathering on feet and legs, pants on hind legs and large ruff on the neck desired and preferred. (The Chihuahua should be groomed only to create a neat appearance.) DisqualificationIn Long Coats, too thin coat that resembles bareness.

Color
Any color - Solid, marked or splashed.

Gait
The Chihuahua should move swiftly with a firm, sturdy action, with good reach in front equal to the drive from the rear. From the rear, the hocks remain parallel to each other, and the foot fall of the rear legs follows directly behind that of the forelegs. The legs, both front and rear, will tend to converge slightly toward a central line of gravity as speed increases. The side view shows good, strong drive in the rear and plenty of reach in the front, with head carried high. The topline should remain firm and the backline level as the dog moves.

Temperament
Alert, projecting the ‘terrier-like’ attitudes of self importance, confidence, self-reliance.

Disqualifications
Any dog over 6 pounds in weight.
Broken down or cropped ears.
Docked tail, bobtail.
In Long Coats, too thin coat that resembles bareness.

The New Year

We celebrated New Year at the Mall of Asia. We waited for the 12:00 MN fireworks there. My big brother Nelson and his family were there also and Chelsea the Shih Tzu that I gave them.


Chelsea was only a year old when i gave her to my nephew as a gift. I knew that they will love him as a part of their family... and they really did. Chelsea looked happy and very beautiful when I saw her that night and I never made a mistake on giving her to them.


Its a good thing to start a new year for me...

dreams, hopes, wishes....


simple words. but hard to get if you wont do anything about it. heres what i thought for this year...





MORE DOGS
Dog breeding has been our sideline for a few years now. and we are planning to make it in full blast. we love our dogs and we are planning to love some more. thinking of another breed or just another female of the same breed and focus on improving our breeding plan...




Jenny the pug



This is "Janny of Dancing Wind". We call her Jenny. Shes the only pug in the house. Very sweet and playful. You will lose all your energy playing with her the whole day.


I hope shes pregnant right now. we mated her with a black pug. Just want to share with you my favorite photo of her with Emily.


She got so tired this day and this pic is funny.





A New Member of the Family


Our chihuahua "Candy" just had puppies the other day, 2 female and 1 male. All of them are very healthy and so cute. From the line of champions on dog shows here in Manila.


Candy is a cesarean. we brought her to the veterinarian on her due date. im really glad that she delivered them safely.


Though Candy had a hard time taking care of her puppies at first because of her operation, we did the manual feeding for her puppies every hour. Its my first time actually to manually feed a puppy and its so amazing...


On the second day, Candy is feeling a little better, she was able to breastfeed her puppy already and in the afternoon she was also able to clean them up. So im looking forward to see these puppies very lively and healthy soon. I'll update pictures here for you guys to see the developments of these puppies.


Nhil and I are still thinking whether to sell them or not. Daddy says NO, Nhil is always on his thousand thoughts, and I am on a million thoughts if were going to sell them or not.. makes me wanna cry if we are going to...



Hair of the dog keeps children's allergies at bay



The finding, based on a six-year study of 9,000 children, lends weight to the theory that growing up with a pet trains the immune system to be less sensitive to potential triggers for allergies like asthma, eczema and hay fever.
Just why this should be is unclear but scientists believe youngsters may get beneficial early exposure to germs carried into the house on the animal's fur, which helps their immune systems develop.
"Our results show clearly that the presence of a dog in the home during subjects' infancy is associated with a significantly low level of sensitization to pollens and inhaled allergens," said Joachim Heinrich of the National Research Centre for Environmental Health in Munich.
The same protective effect was not seen in children who had frequent contact with dogs but did not have one at home.
Previous studies have suggested that exposure to pets may have a protective effect against allergies but many of these studies were based on retrospective questioning of subjects about their exposure.
Heinrich's study, by contrast, was designed before the data was collected. Experts consider such prospective studies make for more reliable results.
Parents answered detailed questionnaires about possible allergic symptoms in their children, from birth to the age of 6, and blood samples were also taken from a third of the group to test for antibodies to common allergens.
The group's findings were published in the European Respiratory Journal.
