When Does a Dog Pregnancy End?

In Uncategorized on November 14, 2010 at 10:32 am

Most dogs deliver their litters about 54 – 72 days after conception. A few days before the delivery, the key pregnant dog symptom is that her nipples will leak a milky fluid when squeezed. She may also have a clear discharge from her vagina. You should begin taking rectal temperatures twice a day when you see discharge from either place. When the temperature drops from 101 to 98 degrees, the dog will begin delivering within 12 – 24 hours, and your dog pregnancy will be at an end.

Feeding A Siberian Husky Dog

Siberian Husky Dog

Siberian huskies should be fed 1 ½ – 2 ½ cans (13.3oz) of high-quality meat food, with the sane amount of biscuits added. If feeding your dog dry food only, give them 5 cupfuls of a good quality, complete dry food.

Generally, huskies have a good appetite, although some don’t eat well when they are nervous, or highly strung.

The digestive tract of Siberian Huskies can overreact to changes in diet or the environment, making them prone to chronic diarrhea. Its best to provide one type of food only, so make it a good quality food.

Leaving a Siberian Husky in the kennel can bring on diarrhea, poor eating, and kennel fever. This is characterized by a restless state of mind that is like claustrophobia, a dread of confinement, especially in small places.

Golden Retrievers as Hunting Dogs

In Uncategorized on August 18, 2010 at 12:02 pm

Golden Retrievers are one of the most popular breeds of dog in the United States. They make great companion dogs, and are also very popular for service dogs. But the Golden Retriever breed was created to be a hunting dog, and for many years this was their sole purpose. It took several years before people realized the versatility of this breed.

Golden Retrievers retrieve instinctively, which is what makes them such good companion dogs for hunters. However, they are not true hunting dogs, like a blue tick or other breed of hunting hound. What this means is that they do not flush out the game for you, but rather retrieve the game once you’ve spotted and killed it.

If you’re choosing a Golden Retriever to be a hunting companion, you’ll have the best luck by choosing a dog that is bred from a line of field dogs rather than from a line of companion dogs. Over the years, many breeds of hunting dogs have evolved into family dogs. When this happens, you’ll find that over the years, some breeders continue to breed for good hunting traits, while others breed for good companion traits. You should always choose a breeder who breeds his line for the best hunting traits if that’s to be your dog’s primary purpose. Golden Retrievers that are bred with hunting traits will love being in the field as much as their owners, will not likely be gun shy, and will be easily trained to retrieve game.

All Golden Retrievers, regardless of their planned primary function, should receive basic obedience training. A dog that won’t come when called or that won’t sit and stay when commanded to do so is useless to a hunter. So, the first training your hunting dog needs is the same training you’d give any dog that will live with you.

One great thing about Golden Retrievers is that they are perfectly capable of being your hunting dog and your family pet. They are very adaptable and have a temperament that is matched by few breeds. With the right training, they can be comfortable and reliable both in the field and in your living room. This is a breed that loves to be around people and wants to be your constant companion, whether it’s for hunting or just a walk around the block.

Today, the Golden Retriever is primarily purchased to be a family pet. And you can’t find a better breed for this purpose. However, they are still a very capable retrieving dog for the field hunter and will not fail you in terms of intelligence, eagerness to please, and superior tracking skills. The Golden Retriever is truly one breed that has it all.

Chihuahua Dog History

In Uncategorized on August 18, 2010 at 8:35 am

The Chihuahua dog is perhaps best known for being the world’s smallest dog breed, narrowly inching out the Yorkshire Terrier for the distinction (though it should be noted that a Yorkie (Yorkshire Terrier) actually holds the title for the world’s smallest dog ever. Surprisingly as well known and popular as the Chihuahua is the world over, the origins of this tiny dog breed remain somewhat shrouded in mystery. What is known without any shred of doubt is that the dog is named for the Mexican state where it was first encountered by American travelers in the late 19th century. Other than that the Chihuahua’s true origins are a mish-mash of conflict.

Chihuahua Dog

There are a number of different theories covering the origins of the Chihuahua and they include the following:

Theory One of Chihuahua Dog Origins:
The first theory about the origins of the Chihuahua speculates that this dog breed is a descendent of one of the ancient American Indian dogs. Giving weight to this theory is the prevalence of tiny dogs in Toltec history as well as that of the better known Aztecs. According to people who favor this theory, the Chihuahua descended from a small mute dog of the Toltec people called the Techichi, a dog that is said to have existed as far back as the 9th century.

Much like the people who conquered them (the Aztecs) the Toltecs often sacrificed the Techichi dog during religious ceremonies. The Aztecs used to in fact cremate their tiny dogs with the deceased owners. They believed that those tiny dogs acted as spirit guides for the soul of the dead through the journey across the afterlife. Legend has it that the blue-coated variants of the tiny dogs were revered as sacred and potent religious symbols while the red coated dogs often ended up being entrusted with the lofty burden of supporting the sins of the dead and having the dubious honor of being thrown upon a funeral pyre as part of that burden!

Theory Two of Chihuahua Dog Origins: The 2nd theory speculates that the Chihuahua dog originated from Europe, having been transported to the Americas around 1520s, following the victorious conquest of the Spanish armies of Hernando Cortes over the peoples of the region. According to this theory it is believed that the wives of colonial officers charged with governing the new provinces most probably took their beloved pets from their homelands in Europe to help ease their settlement in their new homes located in the unknown lands of the New World.

Eventually some of those new dogs imported by the well-to-do settlers from Europe would have migrated off the great estates of the colonialists and associated with the local people of the surrounding regions. Adding some ounce of support to this theory is a Botticelli painting done at least ten years prior to the conquest that clearly illustrates a Chihuahua-like dog. There are those who also postulate that the Chihuahua truly originated from Malta and is a direct descendant of a tiny dog breed that existed there centuries ago, known as the Maltese Pocket dog.

Theory Three of Chihuahua Dog Origins:
The third and final theory hypothesizes that the Chihuahua descended from dogs that hailed from China and was transported on Chinese trader ships. Support for this particular theory is to be found in the assumption that China has traditionally favored small, flat-faced dogs; a description that the Chihuahua dog certainly adheres to.

Rise of The Chihuahua

Whatever the true origins of the Chihuahua dog, the one fact that is under no dispute is that by the late 19th century the dog breed was irrevocably associated with Mexico, specifically the state in which it was discovered by American travelers. Circa 1880 several Chihuahua dogs were transported back to the United States as exotic pets. The Chihuahua was officially registered as a purebred breed in 1903 and by 1923 the Chihuahua Club of America had been established.

It wasn’t until “Rumba King” Xavier Cugat became publicly associated with the Chihuahua (he was often depicted in celebrity pics with a Chihuahua in tow) that the dog breed became popular in the United States. The Rumba King further helped to solidify the nascent popularity of the Chihuahua dog by establishing a Chihuahua breeding business!
