The very first trip of a puppy’s life is also the most nerve wracking. This is the trip from the breeder’s to its new home. If possible, pick up your puppy in the morning. It then has the whole day to get used to the new situation. Ask the breeder not to feed it that day. The young animal will be overwhelmed by all kinds of new experiences. Firstly, it’s away from its mother; it’s in a small room (the car) with all its different...

Dog Buying Tips: Male or Female Dog?

noreply@blogger.com (k9blogger) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 06:52:00 +0000

The decision whether to buy a male or female, a dog or a bitch, is entirely a personal choice. A male dog is somewhat bigger and stronger than its female counterpart. Compared to females, males display somewhat different character traits; they are more affectionate for instance. These differences are more pronounced during their puberty stage, so a good upbringing is very vital. Otherwise you may end up with a self-willed, strong dog that’s hard...

Having two or more dogs in the house is not just nice for us, but also for the dogs themselves. Dogs get a lot of pleasure from their own company. Remember that they are pack animals. If you want two young dogs, it’s best not to buy them both at the same time. Bringing up a dog and establishing the bond between dog and its master takes time. Having two puppies in your household means you have to equally divide your...

The question comes up in almost every family at least once: “Should we get a dog?” Dogs are affectionate, good and loyal companions, and puppies are fun to watch. Apart from that, they have a high “cuddleability factor”. Wait a moment before your emotions carry you away. Think before you buy. Never decide to buy a dog on impulse, even if it’s love at first sight. Bringing a dog into your home means a lot of changes for the whole...

Dog Tips: Handling Dogs and Children

noreply@blogger.com (k9blogger) — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 01:20:00 +0000

Children and dogs are the subject of many a sweet snapshot, but also some of the gruesome stories. Many of these stories need never have been told. A dog won’t bite a child spontaneously, but it will bite to defend itself if it feels threatened. In most cases the dog ends up taking the blame, but often this is actually the fault of the adults, the dog’s keepers and the parents of the child. They must tech their child how to behave with a dog, and...

He then brought a cat into the room and set it beside the dog. The cat crawled all over the dog for several...

Looking for a Pet Dog

noreply@blogger.com (k9blogger) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:52:00 +0000

I have always been a dog lover. There must be something from the canine family that really attracts me. I don’t know, maybe it’s the unconditional love they shower me. Dogs can’t communicate with humans but it’s really not hard to tell how they feel. The way they wag their tail, how they bark, one can feel it. I grew up in a family that always has dogs, local dogs commonly referred to as “askals”. My first purebred dog is a Labrador retriever. I named her “Jack”. She is such a very...
