Caring for Your Dog in Winter-Time!
2008-01-09 08:55:00
It is winter-time and you must take extra care of your dog. Just like your own skin needs more care and moisture, so does your dog need more care. Here are few tips for caring for your furry friend during winter: - Make sure your dog has a dry, warm, doghouse that has a flap-type door and blankets to snuggle into. - Make sure there is plenty of fresh water to drink. Keep water bowls free of snow and ice. -The skin is drier and flakier during the winter months and you may notice a lusterless coat. If so, ask your vet about adding a tablespoon or two of vegetable oil to his food. - Bring your dog into the house when the temperatures drop. - Feed your dog a little more. They burn more calories in the cold, both to keep warm and because exercise is more strenuous when running through the snow. The more your dog is outside, the more extra fuel he'll need. -Keep an eye on your dog when you take him outside. Cold-wind chills can cut through short fur. Pet sweaters and even boots can be ...

Dog Quotes # 16
2008-01-09 08:49:00
• Like all good Hollywood buddy films, the relationship between our species opened in deep enmity, slouched toward begrudging tolerance, and only in the final act blossomed into the stuff of - let's admit it - love. Man and dog now enhance each other's lives in so many ways, from the purely pragmatic to the deeply emotional, that it's hard to imagine any other type of relationship. - Jim Thornton, Men's Health

Dog Art: German Shepherd Paintings
2008-01-08 08:45:00
Artist, Sarah Theophilus’ distinctive style as well as her passion for dogs take the contemporary approach to the tradition of pet portraits much further. Her dog paintings capture the candid, the intense, and the more quirky nature of our beloved companions. Her art can be seen at Pet Portraits in Pastel. German Shepherds are popular dogs around the world. Their beauty and intelligence surpasses that of a lot of breeds and thus it is not surprising that police forces utilize this breed in crime squads as well. Also known as an Alsatian, in France and the UK, this dog was originally bred to herd sheep; hence its name. Apart from their role in the police force, they are also used as guard dogs, blind dogs, search and rescue dogs, military dogs and even as therapy dogs. The German Shepherd is the third most popular breed in the US. They also make loyal and loving pets inside the home. They enjoy being around people and other animals, although socialization is critical for young pu...

Popular Paws # 17: Cocker Spaniel
2008-01-07 08:33:00
Cocker Spaniel: Lady From: The Lady and the Tramp (1955) The famous spaghetti scene and the following night in the park is one of the most romantic moments in all of Disney animation. A beautiful and pure-bred Cocker Spaniel falls in love with a tramp dog. The sequel to the film is called Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp's Adventure. On the surface Lady possesses a classical canine personality: loving, good-spirited, and basically trusting. But although she is not quite as strong or forceful a character as Tramp, she is not without strength of her own. Romantic she may be, as well as frequently confused and terrified, but there is steel in her, as seen when she tells Tramp to go away following the unfortunate incident at the pound. An even greater degree of steel is shown as she struggles to break her chain in order to get at the rat that has infiltrated the baby’s room (she is eventually successful).Of all the characters in the two movies, Lady was one of those that changed the least...

What is a Teacup Puppy?
2008-01-04 08:53:00
"Teacup" is a weight category which means 4-pounds or less. Teacup puppies are not common. Research has shown that Teacup births are substantially less than 1% of all dog births. Teacups, when compared to the general dog population, are very rare - and the demand far exceeds the supply. Teacup puppies have always existed and it seems like they are more prevalent today because of all the publicity they have gotten recently as a result of their celebrity owners. Teacup puppies are as expensive as they are, because they are difficult to breed, and they require a lot of extra attention at birth. Since they are so fragile, often weighing 2-4 ounces at birth, they require a lot of care and 24-hour attention for 2 or 3 weeks. Secondly, since the demand is so high for Teacups, with demand far exceeding supply, the price is higher. The benefits of owning a Teacup puppy can be mostly attributed to their small size. Teacups are extremely portable, making them great traveling companions for ev...

Strict Regulations of Exporting Dogs to Island Countries…Euro Puppy Has Don
2008-01-03 13:46:00
Euro Puppy , has managed to get through the yards of red-tape that accompany the exportation and shipping of dogs and puppies to Island Countries! Have you ever wondered why Robinson Crusoe didn’t have a canine friend with him on his island, instead of having “Friday”? Well, he actually did have a dog….that lived 16 years with him, and yet there is hardly any mention of him in the story! Nevertheless, these days Daniel Defoe would surely have to rewrite his story, since not only could Crusoe have gotten home in one piece, but he could have even imported a dog if he wished to stay on his island paradise! Although it is rather difficult to export dogs to island countries like Japan, Cyprus, New Zealand, U.K, Euro Puppy has managed it rather successfully! In 2007, Euro Puppy was contacted by many dog-lovers living on Island Countries. It was extremely difficult to ship a much-awaited puppy to New Zealand due to strict regulations about quarantine. However, the dog is now with one of t...

Pet Safety Tips: Toxic Food and Dogs....
2008-01-03 08:46:00
Many a dog owner has been known to affectionately refer to their dog as "the four-legged garbage disposal" as they will happily eat anything we are eating. Some of our favorite foods, however, can be toxic to our companions and it is important to keep these foods out of reach. The following can be toxic to your furry friend. • chocolate • onions • grapes & raisins • coffee grounds • yeast dough • macadamia nuts • xylitol - a sweetener found in chewing gum, candy and breath fresheners Don't forget to throw away meat wrappers and packaging as well - and keep the garbage in a closed cabinet with a pet-proof lid. Keep in mind that it takes a lot less to make a little dog sick, so those with smaller companions must be most attentive to safety!

Dog Quotes # 15
2008-01-03 08:38:00
• "The Shar-pei is a creature that within the many folds of skin hides the magic conglomerate of the charm of a hippo, the courage of a lion, the sloth of a seal and the appetite of a pig. Yet through all this, it is lovable beyond measure. Ultimately it can win the heart of a hermit, the life of a workaholic, and the love of a dog-hater!”- Anonymous

Popular Paws # 16: Chihuahua
2007-12-31 09:45:00
Chihuahua: Gidget the Mascot from the Taco Bell Advert The Taco Bell chihuahua was a popular advertising figure and mascot used by Taco Bell. The Chihuahua is a breed commonly associated with Mexico, as are the tacos that the restaurant serves. The name of the dog used as a model is "Gidget" and in commercials, the dog (sometimes depicted as a Mexican revolutionary wearing a beret or as a bandit wearing a sombrero) was made to speak through special effects. His advertising catch-phrase was "¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!", Spanish for "I want Taco Bell!". It was subtitled on commercials as "I want some Taco Bell." The figure grew popular, so much so that even toy figures of the dog were produced. Taco Bell stopped showing the dog in advertisements in 2000 in order to pursue other campaigns. “Yo vengo de Euro Puppy USA”

Ask Euro Puppy USA: "Continous Biting Problems"
2007-12-29 12:00:00
Question: Hello Mario I was wondering: what is the best way to get over the biting of a bull terrier? Everyone says they have the same problem. I was hoping you could give me some insight because I know you have dealt with some pretty wild dogs. She is crazy...no, not to crazy, since she has learned to sit, stay somewhat and she is pretty good about going potty-ing outside. Answer: Tim, The best way to stop that biting is to each time she tries, to hold her mouth shut, shake her head firmly and say the word NO! If she continues, do it again and again until she gets the point. Most of this is play, but you must teach her to stop before it becomes a real nuisance. This behavior is quite typical of all young pups. Let me know if it works. There are other methods. Though this is the one most commonly used. Mario Response: Yes Mario, I agree it is just play but when I hold her muzzle she thinks it's a game. I have tried pinning her down and trying to make her submit but she ...

Her dog paintings capture the candid, the intense, and the more quirky nature of our beloved companions. Her art can be seen at Pet Portraits in Pastel. The American Cocker Spaniel originated in the U.K and was brought to Canada and the United States in the late 1800s. The signature trait of the American Cocker Spaniel is its dark, expressive eyes that reflect a happy, loving, and active nature. They have long hanging ears, a rounded, refined and cleanly chiseled head with silky, feathered, medium-length coat. Cockers are divided by the breed standard into three varieties: black, ASCOB (Any Solid Color Other than Black), and parti-colors. Their name cocker is commonly held to stem from their use to hunt the woodcock birds in England, but today this breed is used to hunt a variety of game-birds and water-fowl. A Spaniel is resp...

The Origin and Evolution of Dogs

• All dogs, from the German Shepherd to the tiny Poodle, are direct descendants of wolves. They can all breed together and produce fertile offspring. Technically they are of the same species. But before that, wolves descended from a species knows as the Tomarctus - a creature that roamed the earth over 15 million years ago. This is what a Tomarctus looked like.

Her dog paintings capture the candid, the intense, and the more quirky nature of our beloved companions. Her art can be seen at Pet Portraits in Pastel. A Pug is a toy dog breed with a wrinkly face and a small body. They were bred to adorn the laps of the Chinese Emperors during the Shang Dynasty (1766-1122 BC), in Eastern China, where they were known as "Lo-Chiang-Se" or "Foo". The Pug's popularity spread to Tibet, where they were mainly kept by monks, and then their popularity went onto Japan, and finally to Europe. The breed was first imported in the late 16th and 17th centuries by merchants from the Dutch East Indies Trading Company and became the dog of the Dutch Royal family. Their fine, glossy coats can be apricot, fawn, silver or black. The word "pug" may have come from the old English word: Pugg, which was an affecti...

Canine Obesity and the Festive Season...
2007-12-18 18:19:00
With the festive season upon us, looking out for the health of your dog is just as important as looking out for your own waistline. The saying goes: you are what you eat. Often one’s lifestyle is inadvertently mimicked by your faithful friend as well. It is imperative to look out for the weight of your dog. If you feel you are not overfeeding him, take him or her to the vet for a full physical. A lot of the time, substantial weight gain is due to the fact that well-meaning owners give out more treats than is actually healthy. Canine Obesity can more often than not, be traced back to the owner. However, sudden weight gain can also be due to hyperthyroidism, or Cushing’s Disease. Festive season equals eating more. Hence, it is no surprise that there are more scraps as well. With guests galore and preparations all around, pooch time is often decreased to a minimum. You should say time-out and go for quick walks with your furry friend. Take a break from cooking or from decorating the ...
