A lot of people have called the Lab’s tail the “otter” tail for the reason that it has a strong likeness. The tail should never curl above the back.

Find Out Whether the Daschund Breed is the Right One for You

August 15th, 2010

The Daschund breed of dog is the wiener or sausage dog with a long narrow body and short legs. 

 

They are very active and loving dogs that work great in a family with or without children. You do need to be attentive to them because they always want to have company around them. In spite of this, this breed of dog is not for every pet owner. For one thing, these dogs are very independent and stubborn and therefore are a challenge when you start to train them. However, once you start using incentives, such as bits of food or treats, they are very anxious to please and will learn very quickly. They also love praise and petting with lots of hugs.

 

Because of the origins of their breeding, these dogs are naturals for digging holes. They were bred to hunt badgers in Germany and the name means ‘badger hound? For this reason, you cannot this dog loose in your flower bed or vegetable garden and if you do let it loose outside, make sure it is in an area where it won’t matter if the dog digs holes.

 

It may not be a good idea to choose the Dachshund as your pet if you work all day and have to leave the dog alone. This is because when it is left on its own, it will whine constantly until you return home. However, if you do have a tape recording of your voice that will play over and over, this could alleviate the stress the dog is feeling because of the lack of companionship.

 

If you have small children, the Dachshund makes a wonderful pet once it is properly trained. If you haven’t yet trained the dog to be around children, you should never leave it along with them. 

 

Dachshunds do not like being teased and as a result will nip at a child that does tease it. These dogs also have fragile spines, so they do not hold up well to being handled in a rough manner. This is especially true if you have a miniature Dachshund.

 

Even when you have the dog house trained, you need to be prepared for accidents on your carpet or other flooring. They do not like going outside in cold temperatures for their potty needs and would just as soon use the rug on the living room floor. No matter how well trained the pet is, you will never find a Dachshund that will not go in the house at some time or another.

 

Since this breed of dog has a hunting instinct, it is not a good idea to have one in your home if you have smaller pets, such as a guinea pig, a hamster or even a small kitten. If you get a Dachshund and a kitten at the same time, you may have some success in teaching it to get along with this pet, but you always have to be on the lookout that it is not hunting the kitten as prey.

A Dachshund is very intelligent and you have to set yourself up as the leader of the pack from day one. If not, the dog will rule your household.

Getting To Know The Boxer Breed

August 10th, 2010

Getting to know your dog starts by getting to know its breed, and that includes getting a better idea about its appearance, personality, and health requirements. Here’s what you need to know about the Boxers:

The Boxer falls into the “working” class dog, being of medium size with a stocky body. Interestingly, the Boxer is an ancestor to two other breeds – the German Bullenbeisser and the English Bulldog. The actual Boxer breed was developed in the late 19th century, and was originally intended to be just for show, unlike its descendants, which were exceptional hunters. A few years later, the Boxer made its way to Europe, then the United States. In 1915, this breed was recognized by the American Kennel Club.

Although bred for show, the Boxer began its history during WWII, at which time it served as a pack carrier, guard and attack dog, and messenger. However, soldiers returning home from the war took some of the dogs with them, helping its widespread reputation for being both a great guard dog and a great show dog. Soon, pet owners also discovered the Boxer to be a loyal and loving companion.

Physical Appearance

The Boxer has a very distinct appearance, one of strength and pride. This medium size breed is stocky built, has short hair, and a square shaped muzzle. Remember, because these dogs were originally used for hunting, the jaws are extremely powerful. Typical colors include:

* Fawn
* Brindle
* White underbelly and on all four paws is also common

Typically, a full grown Boxer will weigh anywhere between 55 and 70 pounds with the males being a little taller than the females, 23 to 25 and 21 to 23 inches respectively. In most cases, the Boxer’s tail is docked and ears cropped, although this latter trend is begin to diminish.

In fact, ear cropping is now banned in many of the European breeds. For many years, only Boxers with cropped ears were allowed to show with the American Kennel Club but that was changed in 2005. You will also notice that while the Boxer is gorgeous, it has an under-bite. Because of this, seeing the teeth snagged on the jowls is common.

Temperament and Personality

Boxers are extremely faithful and loving pets but they can be a little demanding. This breed is alert, usually showing fearless courage when it comes to protecting its owner. However, while the Boxer will show a little bit of distrust when first meeting someone new, it is a docile breed with high intelligence, bravery, cleanliness, and even modesty, something not always seen with powerful breeds.

Generally, the Boxer is highly devoted to its master and great with kids but sometimes, smaller children are too playful. If this breed is raised around other animals, they typically do well. Just remember that at first, the Boxer may react to unfamiliar animals or strangers.

Most Boxers are energetic so adequate playtime is important. Because the Boxer is a strong and determined dog, we recommend you start training at a young age for the most success. Since this breed does not reach full maturity until around age three, you will need to be patient while still a puppy

Health

There are some potential illnesses associated with the Boxer that you should be aware of. These include Progressive Retinal Atrophy, Epilepsy, Cancers, intestinal problems, sinus infections, bleeding problems, Hip Dysplasia, heart murmurs, and arthritis. To ensure you end up with a healthy Boxer, the breeder can be tested and certified as “healthy” prior to purchase.

In addition, if you want a white Boxer, keep in mind that between 35 and 40 percent are deaf in one or both ears. Although a challenge, if you are not planning to breed your dog, with proper training and understanding, it would still make an excellent addition to the family.

Yorkshire Terrier Dog Breed Description, History, Grooming, Health Issues and Living Conditions

August 7th, 2010

Description: The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog, which is in the toy dog class. This breed is 6-7 inches in height, and weighs approximately seven pounds. This breed has a life expectancy of 12-15 years. The Yorkshire terrier has a small head, that is flat on top, and they have a medium-sized muzzle, that is not long. Their teeth meet in a scissor or level bite, and can be undershot. They have a black nose. This breed has dark eyes, which are medium in size and not very prominent. Their eye rims are dark. The Yorkshire Terrier ears are small, erect and are V shaped, that are carried not to far apart. All the legs are straight, and we see round feet with black nails. In some countries, the tail is docked to a medium length, in countries where this is allowed. The Yorkshire Terrier coat is glossy, fine, and silky in texture. The hair on the body is moderately long and should be straight. The hair on the head is long and should be tied up with a bow, or parted in the middle and tied with two bows this allows the dog to see and eat easier. With the Yorkshire Terrier breed, the hair on the muzzle is very long. With the colouring puppies are born black and tan are normally dark body colour, this changes as they grow older. Coat colours come in steal blue and tan, with the body and tail being blue and the rest of the dog is tan.

History: This breed comes from Yorkshire in England and was created by the working man, who wanted a dog that could catch the terrible rats and mice infected the mills and mine shafts. The Yorkshire terrier is not an old breed and came into existence in the 19th century. It is believed it came in part from Scotland’s with the migrating workers, and possibly in its genetic makeup, is the Paisley terrier, Skye Terrier, Dandie Dinmont, Manchester Terrier, Maltese, and the Scottish Terriers, but not the ones we see today. Early in its history, any shape of terrier having a long coat with the blue and tan colouring was classed as a Yorkshire terrier. A lady called Mary Ann Foster, who showed Yorkshire Terrier dogs throughout Great Britain, helped define the type of the Yorkshire terrier. The Yorkshire Terrier breed was also used in ratting competitions; this was a popular sport of the time. This dog, with selective breeding, has gradually miniaturized this breed. As they became smaller the ladies found them to be a fashion extension as they can be neatly be carried in a handbag. The Yorkshire Terrier breed is now a companion dog. This dog was first recognized by the AKC in 1885. The earliest records of the Yorkshire terrier born in the United States are in 1872.

Temperament: The Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog, that is big on personality. Keeping the terrier qualities, this dog enjoys adventures and has lots of energy. This is an exceptionally brave dog and is very clever. The Yorkshire terrier is very affectionate, with their owners, and makes a great companion. Problems can arise if the owner is not the pack leader here we see a dog that becomes aggressive towards strange dogs and small animals, and may also become yappy. The Yorkshire Terrier dog, like all dogs, needs the owner to be the leader. This dog is better with older children, that can show leadership skills and treat the dog as the dog. Small dog syndrome in Yorkshire terriers is to be avoided, as this will make the dog unhappy, and also the owner. If the Yorkshire terrier starts to develop jealousy or becomes over demanding of human attention, then it is wise to think how you are treating the dog to put back the right balance. The Yorkshire terrier is easy to train but can be slightly stubborn, as with all terriers. This breed can be difficult to potty train. The Yorkshire terrier makes an excellent watchdog. The biggest problem Yorkshire terriers can have is if the owner thinks and treats them as a human baby, due to their size. The Yorkshire terrier is a sweet little dog, when the owner understands leadership skills that are gentle. Although the Yorkshire Terrier is a small dog they will still require walking daily. This will help burn up their energy, as this breed has lots to burn off. Dogs that do not have daily walks are more likely to have behavioral problems. A sure sign that your Yorkshire terrier may require more walks is if they are spinning around the house as fast as a bullet. Remember this dog is trainable and simple commands such as heel when out walking are needed. This dog will enjoy a good run in a safe open area off the lead.

Health issues: Some of the Yorkshire Terrier breed are prone to slipped stifle, bronchitis, early tooth decay, delicate digestion, herniated disks, which can course paralysis. This breed can get fractures easily and eye infections can be quite common.

Grooming: Daily grooming is needed with the Yorkshire terrier, due to their silky coat. They have a topknot which is usually tied up. Family pets that are not for showing tend to have their pet coat cut shorter for manageability. Show dogs need hours of care for the show ring and this can be learnt. The Yorkshire Terrier dog will benefit from daily tooth care, cleaning these from an early age will help your pet to know that it is part of the routine.

Living conditions: The Yorkshire terrier is good for apartment life, although this is an active indoor dog, providing they have good daily walks they can manage without a garden.

Boxer Breed Profile

August 5th, 2010

The boxer is a dignified and yet playful dog. Often wary of strangers, they inspire incredible loyalty among those who have had one. This easy to maintain, smooth coated dog loves his people. He is highly trainable and wants to please, and like many active breeds is best kept busy to prevent problems.

The boxer is another German based breed. They are lively and can be high energy dogs. Each is uniquely and individual and although now not as popular as in the past, they hold a special spot in American history also.

Going back in history the breed traces to the 16th-17th centuries in Tibet. It is thought the Boxer traces to dogs referred to as the Bullenbeisser while other sources mention a dog called Bouldogue de Mida. They were used to hunt wild boar, and their ears were cropped to keep the pigs from grabbing the dog’s ears. A family pet when not pursuing this activity, they were bred with the early English Bulldog, creating the first Boxers in the early 1800s. They were once used for bullbaiting. Some of these dogs were all white, a color that is banned from conformation shows today and by the standard not an accepted color.

At the turn of the century they were brought to the US, having been established as a working and police breed. The AKC recognized the first Boxer champion in 1915 but it was 34 years later until the breed really gathered the country’s attention. For a time in the 1940s and ’50s dog shows were covered by sports magazines and others. Popular dogs were noted and followed and in the late 1940s Bang Away made a splash when selected as Best In Show at 2-1/2 months old. He won at Westminster and 121 Best In Show wins over six years. It is documented that at one show a questionable loss by the Boxer resulted in a riot.

Today by the standard these dogs are up to 23-25 inches with females slightly smaller. Balance is essential the the dog is presented as a well muscled athlete. They are fawn or brindle and can have white markings, provided not more than 1/3 of the coat is white.

The Boxer is an active dog both physically and mentally. Keeping them busy with games, regular exercise and play is essential. They’re nice dogs for families as well as single people. Some tend to be aggressive with smaller pets, especially cats, so it is worth putting special training into the puppy if you have other pets. They are intelligent dogs that love to learn. They can be somewhat independent thinking, and it is worth noting to balance insisting on obeying with picking your battles in training issues.

The Boxer is a beautiful, athletic dog with a great combination of gentleness yet the ability to rise to defend his family if need be. The unique way he uses is front feet when fighting (or playing!) gave the Boxer his name. This is a breed that can get 65-80 pounds, so it’s worth noting that training from early on is needed.

Health problems that can affect Boxers include hip dysplasia, aortic stenosis (a heart defect), Boxer cardiomyopathy, thyroid disorders, corneal dystrophy, demodectic mange (which is easily treated but indicates a weakness in the immune system), cancer, bloat, allergies and, in white Boxers, often deafness. Fortunately, many of these can be tested for and rule out genetic passing on of the defects. For those dogs that are affected, serious problems can result and it is best to know and deal with the health problems as soon as possible.

It is also worth noting that like many short nosed breeds, the structure of their head can lead to problems in high heat and humidity. For this reason particular attention should be paid to keeping the dogs cool and not exercising them when it is dangerously hot outside.

From a breeding standpoint a typical litter size is six puppies. Because of the health problems in the breed, health testing should always be done before breeding to insure you aren’t passing along traits that condemn the puppies to a bad (and short) life.

Boxers are still used for police K-9 work. They have the friendly nature, prey drive and power to effectively work in the sport of Schutzhund as well as for obedience, agility, or personal dogs. He’s been used as a war dog and a seeing-eye dog. They’ve been used as messengers and sentries, search and rescue and detection work. Some have been used for flyball competition and therapy dogs.

The Boxer has a tendency to love life – they will put all their energy into whatever they are doing. They can be incredibly persistant if they want something badly enough! They are affectionate and sometimes forget their manners and size when they get excited to see a friend.

Boxers with good care can live well into their teens. Grooming is minimal – occasional baths, trim toenails and general care. Being short haired an occasional brush down can help shine the coat and remove old hair and dander but the Boxer is for the most part a low-maintenance dog as far as grooming.

One unfortunate thing to consider is the advent of breed specific legislation in many areas. Even though it often doesn’t directly include the Boxer, many people with breeds that are affected have now taken to calling them “Boxer crosses”. The kick to that can come much later, as good Boxers have a tractable temperment but can be accused and grouped in with other dogs based on appearance. It’s worth making sure you have proof your dog is a *Boxer* depending on where you live and the local laws, which seem to change on a regular basis.

Famous owners reported to have had Boxers include Jodie Foster, Carroll O’Connor, Robin Williams, George Clooney, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Charlton Heston, Sylvester Stallone, Humphrey Bogart, Nat King Cole, Lauren Bacall and Shirley MacLaine.

In city popularity they are the dog of choice in Knoxville and second in DesMoines, Kansas City, Louisville and Omaha. They hold the third spot in Baltimore, Charlotte, Cleveland and Memphis and made the top five in a host of other cities. Nationally on the AKC list thay ranked sixth in 2007.

If you’re looking for a dog that can combine seriousness with a clown – active with a house dog personality – and gentleness with a willingness to protect his family whatever the odds, consider a Boxer. They are never dull and we could learn something from them in the zest for enjoying life! If you have a little room for a larger dog and an active lifestyle to keep them busy, consider a Boxer for your next pet.

Poodle Dog Breed

August 2nd, 2010

Poodles come in a variety of sizes from the toy poodle to the giant poodle, but here we are going to look at the average, better known as the normal poodle. They are classed as a small to medium dog with a height of approximately 16 inches with the male dog weighing in at 66-77 pounds and the female bitch weighing in a little less at 46-70 pounds. They have a single coat that is curly in appearance and they do not shed much of their dense hair, which does require quite regular grooming. They are most commonly single coloured and it is very rare to find a multi-coloured poodle.

History. The Poodle breed was, believe it or not, bred as retrievers or gun dogs. They originally came from Germany, although they are still used as water retrievers in France. They have in the past also been used as truffle hunters. Due to the length of their hair, they were seen as somewhat cumbersome in the water, and the curly nature, although waterproof, tended to retain moisture in their outer coat. It is for this reason that the dogs were originally shaved in a variety of areas, thereby giving birth to some of the shaving patterns used today, although some people may consider they have taken this tradition a little too far.

Temperament. The Poodle is an intelligent and instinctive breed. Training is quite easy as a result of these instincts, which is probably why they were used in circuses some years ago. They are highly energetic and can become bored quite easily, which can then lead to them finding very creative ways in which to get into mischief. Exercise and mental stimulation are important to this breed, with which they will be eager to please, which of course will assist in their training. They are a sociable friendly dog and are quite people orientated, this makes integration into the home very simple at and they are normally very good with children. As bred retrievers they love games such as throwing a ball or stick, and other similar games.

Health issues. Poodles are prone to ear infections, so need to have these checked during grooming. More seriously the puppy’s can suffer from renal problems, and as adults their main issues are predispositions to Addison’s disease, airway problems, thyroid problems and hip dysplasia. More minor ailments consist of cataracts, Progressive retinal atrophy, epilepsy, and bloat.

Grooming. Although Poodles are classed as non-shedders their coats do require a great deal of care. They need to be combed or brushed very regularly, and will most likely require regular trips to the salon for professional care. Brushing their teeth preferably daily is also required to reduce the incidence of gingivitis.

Living conditions. As a retriever, these dogs were bred to work, and as such will require a reasonable amount of exercise. Whilst smaller ones may be suited to life in an apartment, larger ones may not be quite so settled, unless taken out regularly and often. They are generally quite a passive dog, and acclimatize well to family life; they are also people lovers and like to be in the thick of any action within the household. They will play well with small children but supervision may be necessary to ensure the dog is not being bullied, or being played with too roughly by particularly small children.

Choosing the Right Breed of Dog For You

July 29th, 2010

Choosing the right dog isn’t like choosing a car or another product. Remember that you are selecting a living being, and one that will be with you for a very long time. Too many times people choose the wrong type of dog, a dog that ultimately ends up as an outcast because of a clashing personality. To avoid this, you will want to learn the personalities of the major breeds. So what we’re going to do is go over a few of the more popular breeds so that you’ll get a better idea of what you’re looking for.

Dalmatian: This is one of the most popular breeds, having risen to stardom as a result of 101 Dalmatians. They are short haired, though they will shed quite a bit. If you think you can handle this, then you might have picked a winner.

There is more to them than hair of course. They have a very energetic personality; one that many people may not find agreeable. If you have toddlers, then this might not be the best choice as they could be injured by this type of dog. Due to their near boundless energy, they do need regular walks and expanses to run around with; so not ideal if your home is empty throughout the day.

Doberman: Though many people believe the Doberman to be a dangerous animal, it is actually quite gentle so long as it is treated right. Keep in mind that this type of dog does not like to be left for hours at a time. If you have a job that requires you to work many hours, then this might not be the dog for you.

Alaskan Malamute: You’ve probably seen these at some point or another. Either in a movie or in real life, but these are typically known as sled dogs. They can be obedient when it comes down to it, but they usually know when it’s okay to act up. Remember that you will need to take the role of pack leader with this type of dog, and you will need to be able to provide it plenty of exercise.

Beagle: The beagle is an adorable breed of dog, but you need to remember that they can get quite curious. Essentially you will need to spend a lot of time with them, and have a backyard that is fenced off and fully beagle proof.

Bearded Collie: This is a long haired dog that is very friendly, and very loving. You will have a long time companion if you choose to go with this dog, but make sure you have plenty of time to commit to its care. Also make sure that you have a vacuum cleaner handy to take care of the shedding!

These are a few of the different breeds, and as you can see they are all quite different. The one thing that it always comes down to however, is attention. You need to provide any dog with a lot of attention, and make sure that it knows it is loved. Doing this is vital to a dog’s health, after all, dogs can become depressed just like humans. Choose your dog wisely!
