Looking for a Basset Hound?

Considering the irresistible appeal of a Basset, that forces many people to buy it, Even before realizing its need in relation to surroundings and environment. It certainly helps if one has some ideas on the needs of a hound as robust as Basset hound before visiting the pet store as there are chances after seeing a Basset you may be compelled to buy it. Its unique appearance is arresting, attractive and dignified. Naturally Basset Hounds are well tempered, affectionate, sociable, friendly and loyal. Basset Hounds are robust Hounds that don’t require any special diet as an adult and if you are picking a Basset in its early days it can be very responsive to training. It’s a sensitive dog so all correction during training should be done with extreme care or else the basset is prone to become timid or shy. Also if not treated with considerable understanding it might become stubborn, willfully disobedient or non-cooperative. If treated and trained well there can be no better a canine companion than a Basset hound. It though does not need a vigorous exercise regimen on a daily basis it is always advisable to give it a fairly long walk daily to keep it in good health and mood. While getting a young pup one must assume that the pup is not stupid but understand that a hound’s memory is retentive but its intelligence is limited. The pup will therefore take little time in adapting so it’s unreasonable to expect from it to be responsive to the owner’s changing mood and has to be dealt in a consistent temperament. Some activities that look good when it’s a pup like tug and biting your dresses may be fun but be alert to avoid acts like these that can become a problem when the hound is adult. A pup that is supposed to live indoors or spend its life as a companion in a house should be taught house manners during its early days. Teaching house manners will not prove difficult if you can tackle with patience and determination. Pups always take meals at frequent intervals so its likely that they would try to relive themselves as frequently. Pups should be watched carefully so that they can be put in a place where you intend it to relive itself so that they get accustomed. After every meals, a considerable time of playing, when you see the pups going round etc. Look for these subtle symptoms and act accordingly. Don’t get frustrated with accidents, they are bound to happen. Pups might not relive them as soon as you put them there it might take a while wait with your pups and reward him once he is done. This will encourage it in anticipation of a reward for a job done to your satisfaction. Its impossible to guess right the exact time to teach your dog to be clean and obedient in your house but with determination and care every dog learns it pretty soon. Remember firmness coupled with affection will build up a bond of respect , confidence and faithfulness which will only grow with the years.

Natural Dog Collars are an Important Accessory of Man's Best Friend

If you are new to the world of dogs, you'll be surprised at the number of choices in collars now on market. And if you are a veteran pet owner, then you already know how difficult it is to choose the right collar for your dog.

While the majority of collars are humane and effective training or handling aids, some can be dangerous if used incorrectly. The improper use of collars or the incorrect dog collar itself is the number one cause of cervical (neck) subluxations in dogs. Of all the places to put undue stress, the cervical region, especially the upper two cervical vertebrae, is the most harmful. It is at this point that the body meets the brain. Hence it is extremely important that the correct dog collar is used.

Dog collar made of nylon or leather has its own disadvantage. They may cause itching and are certainly not suitable for dogs with sensitive skin. They are hard initially and may become harder with use, thereby causing damage to your dog. Nylon collars don’t make a style statement and are usually bland. The life of a normal nylon or leather collar is limited and is not easy to wash. Hence dog owners are always on the lookout for safe, stylish and durable options when it comes to dog collar. They have found the answer in Hemp Dog Collars.

Why hemp? Hemp is many times stronger than cotton; more resistant to abrasion and tears; to molds, soiling, shrinkage and the deteriorating effects of the sun. And that's just what you need for your dog. Hemp Dog Collars are strong, durable, practical, and environmentally friendly. They are safe for your pet, safe for you, and above all, safe for the environment since growing hemp requires no dangerous pesticides during cultivation.

Since no pesticides or harmful chemicals are used anytime during hemp growing and processing, you can be sure of your pet's safety when s/he chews or plays with her/his leash and collar. Dogs just find the natural aroma of the hemp fiber irresistible; luckily, the hemp fiber is strong enough to withstand rough play and chewing.

Now you can walk your pet in eco-style! Hemp collars are a must-have for any style-conscious dog! Or dog owner. Collars made from natural hemp are hypoallergenic which results in less itching and is great for dogs with sensitive skin. It is hard wearing, yet softens with age, and is machine washable and long lasting. Simply put, it is just about the best-looking collar going.

You can make your dog feel like the best-dressed pup in the neighborhood in one of these natural hemp dog collars. Not only is hemp one of nature's strongest fibers, but also it has the unique ability to soften with time while yet retaining its original strength. Give your dog, the best collar when come to safety, comfort and durability.

Basset Hound its history and origin

Basset hounds are supposedly named from the French word ‘BAS’ meaning low or dwarfed. This was mainly used in reference to the low slung body feature of the hound. Basset Hound is such a breed that it was rarely known to many dog lovers even few decades back, in spite of it being popular in France. The first documented record of Basset hounds come from the writings of De Fouilloux published in the year 1573. According to De Fouilloux, Basset d’ Artois (Name of basset hounds in those days) were mainly of two varieties The Artesian which had crooked forelegs and the Flemish which had straight legs. They came originally from areas in and around Flanders. The descendents of the Flemish varieties still exists today in the Fort Noire, Voges and according to some in German dachshund. People who believe that German dachshund is a descendent of Basset hounds claims so because they believe Basset might have been imported to Wurtemberg ( home of dachshunds) and made to cross with the terrier to introduce courage that is lacking in hounds. Basset hounds unlike other blood relatives, like the Hounds of Artois, Normandy, Gascony and Saintgone, survived the political turmoil which saw its lesser fortunate relatives go extinct. For the patronage from some quarters of old noblesse Basset of Artois were preserved in purity. Basset hounds were shown for the first time in the Paris Dog show in the year 1863 and after ten years Sir John Everett Millais brought to England the Hound called ‘Model’ and appeared at the wolverhampton show in the year 1875. The basset hound was officially recognized by Kennel club in 1880, and was given separate classes of its own at the wolverhampton where Basset had made his debut appearance in 1875 when it had appeared in the A.V. foreign dog class. The basset hound club was formed in 1884 .

The basics Japanese Spitz


The Japanese in the late 19th century cross- bred various completely white coat dogs in search of a small intelligent dog breed with white coat. Dog breeds like German Spitz, Siberian Samoyed, Russian Spitz and American Eskimo were imported to Japan through Siberia and Manchuria for this purpose and a new breed of dog evolved from this experiment. It was called the Japanese Spitz. First exhibited in Tokyo in the year 1921, and a while later in the year 1948 the Japan Kennel club formulated the breed standards. Owing to its immense popularity inside Japan this new breed was introduced and appreciated globally by the end of 1950. Japanese Spitz are small dogs weighing around 7-10 kgs when adult with a height of 38 cm max. The coat is double layered with long straight hair as an outer layer protecting the dog from climatic fluctuations and a second inner layer of dense soft and short hair of pure white color. The tail covered with long hairs curl over the back. The coat is shorter on the lower part of the legs . The dryness of its outer skin makes it immune to bad odor. The face is wedged shaped with small pointed, upright ears with large black oval eyes.

Japanese Spitz are great for apartment dwelling as they are a companion first and depend on the owner. On its part it is quite a responsible watch dog that loves his family and is also patient with toddlers and quite protective. Thus will bark and alert about strangers intrusion in his territory. Though cases have been reported of Japanese Spitz living up to 16 years its quite common for them to live up to 12 years if well cared for.

Canine Pyometra – Serious Issue Of Concern For The Dog Owners

The canine pyometra or the uterine infection is one of the most serious issues of concern for the dog owners –especially who have the female dogs. The condition may turn out to be fatal if left untreated within time either by the dint of right medicines or surgical removal of the uterus. As a matter of fact there are lots of antibiotics that may be come to a great help, although it is also quite true that antibiotics alone may not be an effective solution in such cases. Hence it is advisable to visit a registered veterinary practitioner and to steer clear of any experimentation.

Symptoms Of Pyrometer In Dogs

It is really quite tough for the general flock to ascertain if the dog is really suffering from uterine infection, although there are certain symptoms for the condition. Increased drinking accompanied by frequent urination are the leading sings of the bacterial toxin that is associated to the condition of pyometra.

Another vital symptom of the canine pyometra may be a discharge from the vulva of an unspayed (intact) female apart form the normal discharge that are usually seen during the estrus period – a period when the female dog is in heat. The pus may also ooze out if the female is suffering from the pyometra.

Lethargy, refusal of food, enlarged abdomen, fever, and high WBC count are some of the other symptoms of pyometra incanines.

Diagnosis Of Canine Pyometra

Since it is really quite hard to say for sure if your female dog has pyometra, hence the help of the renowned vet has to be sought to ascertain the presence of the uterine infection. The uterine infections can be ruled out by the dint of the X-ray and/or Ultrasonography. The vet may recommend certain other laboratory examinations as well.

Treatment

When it comes to pyometra in dogs, it is of utmost significance to take the right action in right time. The doctor would prescribe antibiotics in combination with the other requisite medicines. With the early treatment ther is a recovery rate of about 85 to 90 % cases of pyometra dogs, but the condition may be nightmare and will turn out to be deadly for the dogs if left untreated.

However the best treatment for the condition is to spay the female dog. Spaying means removal of uterus and overies. The vet may recommend the administration of prostaglandins in combination of antibiotics, which may turn out to be beneficial for “open pyometra”, although it cannot help resist the condition to happen again.for “closed pyometra” this simple treatment would be an utter flop.

My Santa Is My Owner And She Lets Me Write Down My Wishes This Christmas

When I first heard Audrey Hepburn sing “These are a few of my favorite things” in the evergreen movie “ My fair Lady”, I never thought I’d have an occasion to present my own list some day. But you know what they say, “Every dog ahs his day”, and I got mine too. This Christmas, my dear owner in my eyes, is no less beautiful than Audrey. Hepburn herself, has asked me for a list of 10 things that I want. And God! I can’t wait to get started.

• The first and foremost thing I want is to have my own bean bag, in front of the television. With my own Bean Bag, I can be a part of the prime time audience.

• I also want to have my own car and a driver, so that I can go for long drives as and when I want. Oh what fun would it be, to just hop on to the back seat of a convertible, have the wind blowing in my face and to have no one pushing me to the extreme corner of the car seat. I can’t wait to lie back and say to myself, “Now that’s the way to live!!!

• One thing I always dream of is to have a cupboard full of dog bones, in all flavors – chicken, pork, mutton, egg and even fish!!! I can chew on it all day and treat my palate to my heart’s leisure. That’s called getting a real taste of life!!!!

• Another thing that has always been a secret passion for me is to have cat in my captivity. But something tells me, this wish of mine will remain a wish considering my owner goes “Oh chooo chweet” every time she sees a cat at her window still, sitting majestically – much to my rising blood pressure !!!

• One thing I have always dreamt doing is to fly first class. After all, my owner has always made me feel that I deserve the best!!! I would love to lie back in the comfy cozy chairs I see in the television ads, be served chicken/mutton soup, with chop lambs and a jug of my favorite milk that I can keep lapping up while admiring the clouds and the sky outside. I would love to be on cloud nine literally, this X’mas.

• I also want a nice big bed all to myself. Even though I have been provided a decent bed and I am practically the master of the whole house (at least my owner tells me so), I still would love to have a master bed, where I can sleep without having to worry about stretching too much. Sometimes, I feel I don’t manage to catch the other dogs and cats in my dreams, because I don’t have that much of space to run while dreaming.

• I also desperately need a mobile phone. You might not believe me, but I do have quite a few local friends. They are cool dudes and it’s nice to meet them when I go for my walks. But there are times when I’m getting bored in the house. No cat or mouse in the house to hold my attention and no maids or squirrels to bark at. That’s when you feel like just calling up your friends.

• I would love to have my own personal shrink. There are so many things I want him to analyze for me, especially my dreams. I want to know why I only dream to cats and dogs and chasing them unsuccessfully all over town. I wonder if I have any karmic debts to settle with them or is it just my ID, my ego or the super ego that is causing me so much of heartburn.

• You might find this funny but I would also love to have a skateboard for myself. You know how it is. Sometimes you just feel so tired. I do want to go out for a walk, but I somehow don’t have the energy to walk. At such to just step on to the skateboard and look around. Now that would be a real smooth walk, don’t you think????

• And last, but not the least, I would like to have my own ATM card. There are times when you feel like indulging in something particular, but my owner does not understand exactly what I want. That’s when I feel my ATM card would be very useful. I can just go and withdraw money and head straight for the nearest dog store and buy whatever goodies I feel like eating. With time I might even cajole my owner to get me my own credit card. I have seen how easy it becomes when you have one. Then I can got o the jazziest dog store and have a blast.

Come to think of it, my list can go on and on, but I have been told to stop at 10 things for now. I can’t wait for December and the jingle bells ringing. With my wish list all set for my very own Santa Clause, I have already started my countdown. I am going to be the happiest dog this Christmas with all my wishes set to be fulfilled. And all those who love my kind and me, please come forward and join me in chorus to say “Amen” to that. Soon, I shall call all of you from my mobile and thank you all personally for all your good wishes. Merry X’mas!

Stress Relieving Medicines May Complicate Your Pets Conditions Further Leading To Even Death

It’s not that only humans suffer from stress and develop stress related illness. Animals too suffer from stress. We often remain oblivious to the fact that pets also suffer from stress. Being extremely sensitive to their surrounding, pets are known to develop emotional bonding with their owners (especially dogs) as well as fellow pets and any change in the environment triggers ‘change’ related stress in the same ways as it triggers stress in humans.

Stress usually is a response to stimuli involving situations that we consider to be threatening, depressing or out of control. The same is true for your dog. The animals respond by “fight or flight” method when threatened or frightened. During the "flight or fight" response, a complex series of chemical reactions and changes occurs in the nervous system of the body.

Sometimes, the “fight or flight” response doesn't work, and the animal becomes very irritated or upset, then it may adopt the “conservation-withdrawal” response. This response is initiated by the hippocampus (part of the brain), which then signals the hypothalamus leading to release of chemicals that stimulate the pituitary gland to produces a compound. This compound in turn activates the adrenal cortex to release corticosteroids which calm the nerves.

Long-term corticosteroid release suppresses the immune system, which makes your pet highly prone to diseases. The stomach is stimulated to release acids by the corticosteroids, which can lead to peptic ulcers. Both the “fight or flight” response and “conservation-withdrawal” tend to physically tax the animal leading to disruption of normal metabolism, growth, reproduction, and immune function, and can also cause an animal to self-mutilate. Other physiological events that occur are a decrease in heart rate, sometimes to the point of stopping completely and loss of appetite. Your pet may ultimately die "for no apparent reason."

Conditions such as infection, being kenneled, travel, breeding, separation from owner, shifting, addition or loss of a family member or another household pet, can cause stress in animals. In such cases, you dog can become extremely bored or show symptoms of severe stress such as fear, uneasiness and restiveness.

Dogs under stress can become violent, stop eating or overeat, become hypersensitive, bark incessantly, become hyperactive, destroy things or move objects in and around the household and resort to nervous licking or chewing of their own bodies. They can develop diarrhea, lose hair, develop mushrooming parasite populations, and their immune system can just disintegrate. What’s more disturbing is that stress can be a cumulative process. Each stressor by itself may not be significant and may seem apparently harmless, but when they affect your pet sequentially or simultaneously, they may push it over the threshold toward illness or death.

Stress Relieving Medicines

Dogs can be administered Stress Relievers to calm them. Some of these stress relievers claim to promote a sense of calm in animals exhibiting fear, fretting, anxiety or any unwanted behavior. But these medicines can also have certain risks and side effects. They can have toxins and induce drowsiness in your dog. These medicines may make your dog prone to reactions, drug interactions or adverse effects and are considered to be unsafe, inappropriate or completely ineffective.

These stress relievers are only meant to control short-term behavioral stress and anxiety and can be very detrimental to the pet’s health if administered on a long-term basis, even leading to death.

The Ultimate Remedy: PET-MUSIC

It has long been stated that music calms the savage beast and now with research to support that adage, you may be able to overcome stress or anxiety your own pet experiences. There are a variety of remedies to alleviate the stress your pet feels, and none may be more enjoyable for you and your pet than some soothing music. There is pet music to specifically provide a soothing soundtrack to lessen the stress of your pet and increase the positive brainwaves that elicit feelings of well being keeping them in good spirits.

Music therapy has revolutionized the way we can alleviate stress and anxiety in pets. It is safe with absolutely no side effects. This therapy employs music to untangle the knotted and stressed out nerves and brain, relaxing the mind-body as a whole.

An Amazonian parrot and grey parrot can be purchased for about 300 – 400$, cockatoo for 1,000 $...... and the price of some parrots reaches $15,000! This is one of the initial questions which you have to answer.

Larger birds and even some of the small ones are very active physically and need big cages and space in which to play.
Is there any free time for the bird?

Body Language Before Dog Bites








D























Dear Sir,
After catching up on doggy email, I've noticed your reference to submissive posture. Your book helped more than a professional trainer I hired for my adopted Golden. We went through biting and dominance issues. The problem I am having now is I still do not trust him 100%. When he bit there really wasn't any sign it was coming (that I noticed). Even now, the only sign that he doesn't like something is a lowered head and sometimes a low growl (the groomer told me this). This dog growls sometimes when he is happy. It is almost like someone taught him not to make any other noise in doors. Outside he will bark. I guess the big question is how do you read a dog's face, body, etc.?

Thanks,
Mark.

Bull Dogs – The Breed That Lost Its Ferociousness

Believed to be among the most ferocious breeds of the world, the English bull dogs or British bull dogs, or simply the bull dogs have failed to earn the degree of admirations and acceptances as most of the other medium sized friendly breeds such as Cocker Spaniels, English Springer Spaniels, Basaenjis, Gordon Setters and etc have.

On the contrary the English bull dogs have got certain typical traits and uniquely distinguishable characteristics alike all the other molosser dog breeds that have set this breed of dog apart from any other dog breeds of the world. It is due to this reason that the bull dogs have been loved by many members of the canine fancier community around the globe. During the early period the bull dogs were really known for its aggressive temperament due to the fact that they have descended from the aggressive and mollossus dogs. But it is by the virtue of the selective and planned breeding, that our present day’s bull dogs have developed a placid and friendly temperament with a strong will power. The bull dog enthusiasts all over the world are all at one to say that our present bull dog is a breed which is incredibly affectionate and adorable and one of the perfect family dog.

The History Of The English Bull Dogs
The history and the origin of the English bull dogs or simply the bull dogs has always been a heated up topic of debate, subject to the controversies among the naturalists and canine experts. While the one contends that the bull dogs have been developed by the cross breeding of the pug dogs with the large mastiffs, the other group of people concludes that the mastiffs have been developed from the bull dogs. There also another school of thoughts, according to which the bull dogs, alike the mastiffs have descended from the Alaunts – severely powerful and aggressive ancient breed of dogs that had been used by the butchers to attack and bring the fierce oxen and keep them in their shops.

Although there are several ideas, thought and theories regarding the history and origin of the bull dogs, yet a point where almost all the breed historians agree upon is that the bull dogs was once used for guarding and controlling the baiting bulls prior to slaughtering. During those days the baiting of the bull was too commonly found because it was believed that the bull must be baited at the very outset so that the meat of the bull would be tender and nutritious.

It was not until the year 1802 that a bill was passed to cease the tradition of bull baiting, although it took 33 more years to get finally stopped. This had a tremendously ill effect on the bull dog breed. With the declination of the use of the breed, the breeding had been stopped resulting in the gradual declination of the pure breed bull dogs. It is due to the small community of the few numbers of dedicated breeders that we find the breed even today.

The first bulldog club was founded in the year 1864 by a man called R.S. Rockstro. Mr. Rockstro had taken certain very responsible steps and called for 30 Bull dog fanciers to formed the club, although the club failed to run for more than three years. During those three years they had already developed the first breed standard – known as “Philo Kuan Standard”

In the year 1875 the original bull dog club was established at the Blue Post Inn, in London, although it was not until the year 1894 that the bulldog club was incorporated. It was long after this that the UK Kennel Club was conceived.

General Appearance
In simple words the general appearance of the bull dogs suggests awesome stability, unparallel vigor and massive innate strength. The bully appearance is the true criterion of the beauty of the breed. The medium sized stocky breed with sturdy trunks, the saggy lump of skin in the facial region, short lobous muzzles is the breed’s unique feature. The most important point to noted is that the saggy skin in its face tends to create an appealing and attractive impact in the viewers’ mind.

With the average adult height of 12 to 14 inches at the wither, large head and the distinguishably well built muscular body, the bull dogs appear to be quite stout giving an impression of having mind blowing self assurance, innate power and great deal of courage.

Nature
Contrary to the common belief, the bull dogs have quite a placid temperament and quite friendly by nature. It is not at all a vicious breed of dog. they are very playful and also quite stubborn, which makes the breed comparatively hard to train. The bull dogs are by nature vhighly protective and loyal companions of the owners.

Although the breed is very adorable, yet these dogs have got certain traits that its has received from its fighter ancestors. The bull dogs normally do not warn a suspicious person or a stranger dog with growl. He would suddenly engage into a serious fight immediately after giving certain symptoms, such as slight stiffening of the body, intent eye to eye contact and repeated licking out of tongue. Once a bull dog gets involved into a fight it is really tough to release it by hitting as it usually feels no pain whin in a fight. Commands also will prove to be useless, as your yell do not reach its ears. The best advice is to avoid such unwanted situation.

Health Issue
Respiratory problem is one of the major problem that the breed uasually suffers from. Although a very sturdy breed the bull dogs cannot tollerate too much heat and may also suffer from the sudden heat styroke – especially during the summer days in the tropical regions. Some other isses of concern are allergies, hip problem, cherry eyes cataract and caesarean delivery.

Recognition
NZKC and AKC have placed the breed under the non sporting group. FCI has placed the breed under Group 2 Section 2 # 149, while ANKC has placed the breed under Group 7 and CKC under Group 6. KC (UK) has categorised the breed as a Utility breed and UKC as the Companion Breed.
