Before acquiring a new dog or puppy, know your preferences when it comes to your new canine buddy’s friendliness level. Each breed of dog has its
own common social trait. How friendly or how timid do you want your new dog to
be? There are several ways you can test the sociability factor of a dog. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here’s a simple test. If possible, take the healthy puppy or
dog in a place free of distraction then try to talk or communicate to the puppy
using affectionate words or whiny, gentle, and high pitched sounds. The
reaction of the puppy or dog will somehow reveal a personality which will
determine your interaction with your new <a href="http://dailytwocents.com/living-pets-can-keep-us-healthy/" target="_blank">pet</a>. Check out the common responses
that may classify dogs according to their temperament.</div>

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cAiVJs8fwUs/VP7hQwVTyBI/AAAAAAAADCA/655hkFTs53M/s1600/dog%2Band%2Bhuman.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cAiVJs8fwUs/VP7hQwVTyBI/AAAAAAAADCA/655hkFTs53M/s1600/dog%2Band%2Bhuman.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>
Whether getting a new puppy or a full-grown dog, it is very important to know its background. Unless the dog is rescued out of nowhere and remains unclaimed in a deserted location, you have to know some information about your new canine buddy's past.<br />
<br />
This short list will be very useful to those who wish to adopt or buy a dog for the first time or those who wish to get a dog again after a long period of dog-less lifestyle. The dog pound or the dog breeder can surely give you enough information you will need. Often, you will have to ask. <br />

Knowing these tidbits of information will help you understand the dog's behavior as well as help you anticipate the necessary adjustments as soon as the dog starts living with you. Most dogs will generally respond positively to a loving and caring home. <br />
<br />
Even dogs who have been raised in poor breeding and training conditions will still be able to adjust to proper training from a loving and patient human.<br />

Many dog owners find the kitchen a most suitable place for
dogs to stay. If a dog bed is not available yet, a cardboard box lined with a
fabric such as an old towel or an old blanket would also be good enough. Make
sure that the box and fabric are free of pointed objects such as staples,

It will be more economical to buy a dog bed that is adult
sized. You will also need a blanket that can fit it the bed and warm your dog

from their previous homes due to abuse or hunger cause by neglect. Some
abandoned pets are still waiting for their owners who left them, without
knowing that their humans will never arrive at all. It is for this
reason, pet shelters and animal rescue centers were established. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UItj0ZsLpKE/U2I7ue43S3I/AAAAAAAACyE/eKjsWAAghoc/s1600/stray+dog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UItj0ZsLpKE/U2I7ue43S3I/AAAAAAAACyE/eKjsWAAghoc/s1600/stray+dog.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></a></div>

<br />
The pet shelters are always looking for possible ways to acquire
sponsors to fund their operations. Probably you have watched a video or
two on YouTube or Facebook on animal rescue stories, some of these
videos have moved you to take action. Most of these were produced by
animal welfare organizations to raise awareness and support worldwide.
These organizations provide the animals that are on their care the
proper vaccination and treatment, and the right medication in order for
these pets to heal and remain healthy while at their care. <br />
<br />
If you feel like getting a pet, do consider going to the shelter first.
Although some shelters require some fees when you adopt an animal, it is
still so much less than buying a pet from a store. This way, you can
give a pet a new lease in life by adopting him or her into your new
home.<br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OURvGNdXUSQ/Ts5FY1PFTFI/AAAAAAAABR8/Rv_gNigAfYI/s1600/3823869_s.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OURvGNdXUSQ/Ts5FY1PFTFI/AAAAAAAABR8/Rv_gNigAfYI/s1600/3823869_s.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
As threatening as a dog can at times prove to your living room, likewise the home can also be a lot more dangerous to a dog. Some pet owners have learned this the hard way, to their great hurt (and yet greater cost) throughout the years.<br />
<br />
Death By Chocolate is not a peculiarly amusing concept in the canine world. Neither, for that matter, is death by slug bait, death by the perpetually lethal antifreeze, nor the rarer death by lead paint poisoning.<br />
<br />
Whether you intend to take in a new dog into your household or you already have a dog in your home, the following safety measures will help ensure your pet's better health and happiness:<br />
<br />
All medicines, supplements, herbal teas and other concoctions are potentially poisonous to canines and should be kept safely stored in closed cupboards or drawers.<br />
<br />
Household cleansing agents and car additives, mainly antifreeze, should also be kept perfectly out of their reach. The containers should be cautiously trashed of when emptied.<br />
<br />
Blue boxes and other trash bins must be kept firmly covered every time.<br />
<br />
Never place bugs, cockroach or rat traps where a dog can sniff them out.<br />
<br />
Always leave a clean bowl of water out for your dog and discourage it from drinking from the toilet. Also keep the toilet cover down. As an additional precaution, do not use automatic toilet bowl fresheners when you have pets around.<br />
<br />
Never leave food around that could be fatal to a dog. This is particularly crucial in the case of chicken (brittle bones can stab a dog's stomach) and chocolate (which can lead to canine loss of sight and death).<br />
<br />
For similar reasons, try to keep small, easily swallowed objects such as coins, toys and knick knacks safely out of the pet's reach.<br />
<br />
Bundle up those oh-so-chewable electrical cords before treating them with a bitter-tasting spray, which is available via most petstores and vet's centers.<br />
<br />
Some indoor plants and garden plants, can also be toxic to a dog.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.infobarrel.com/media/image/59723.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="212" src="http://www.infobarrel.com/media/image/59723.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Canine distemper ranks among the greatest perils to the world's dog population. It primarily strikes young dogs, typically affecting those below one year old. Among pups the mortality rate caused by distemper is around 80 percent. The disease also attacks unvaccinated matured dogs. More than 50 percent of the full-grown dogs that get the disease die from it. And even if a dog does not die from distemper, its health could be permanently impaired. Blindness in one or both eyes could result from discharges striking the cornea. The same discharges sometimes leave the dog deaf or impair its sense of smell. Permanent damage to the nervous system may cause chorea (muscle twitching), convulsions, partial or absolute paralysis.<br />
<br />
Canine Distemper is caused by an airborne virus. It could be picked up by the dog that comes in contact with mucus and watery secretions from the eyes and noses of contaminated dogs, and also from contact with these dog's urine and feces. A healthy dog can be infected with distemper even without direct contact with the infected animal. Kennels, runs, bedding and practically everything touched by a dog with distemper could spread the infection—this includes the hands, feet, and garments of the person handling the sick dog.<br />

The Giant Schnauzer is the largest of the three Schnauzer breeds. Cattlemen in Southern Bavaria produced the Giant Schnauzer by breeding medium-size Schnauzers with smooth-coated sheep and cattle dogs, with later crossbreeds to rough-haired sheepdogs and black Great Danes.

The Standard Schnauzer is a medium-sized dog, the oldest breed of the three Schnauzer types. Possibly a result of the crossbreeding of the black German Poodle and Gray Wolf Spitz with Wirehaired Pinscher ancestry, the Standard Schnauzer served as a guard and watchdog in Germany since the 16th century. It is also skilful as a rat catcher in the stable area. Its head is long, rectangular, and robust with a blunt whiskered muzzle. Its body heavyset and squarely built. Its oval eyes dark and shadowed by bristling eyebrows. The V-shaped ears are small and carried upright when cropped, and the coat is hard and wiry.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
If you are now ready to take in a new pet dog, here are some
pointers to help you choose your new pet puppy.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Visit only reputable dog breeders and ask to see as many
puppies as you possibly can. Find a puppy with good temperament aside from its
good physical condition because you'll be living with your dog for many
years. It is crucial to know lineage of
the puppy you plan to adopt or buy. If it's possible, see and observe the
parents of the puppy yourself; observe their friendliness, their energy, and
their condition. Inquire if they are easy to train and how they <b><a href="http://j.gs/H0D">behave around the house</a></b>. Genetic traits are important
to observe.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ask to see the whole litter at a time if possible. This may
be understandably overwhelming, seeing all frisky little balls of fur. Check which one is smartest puppy and to
which would you like the most. It can be difficult to tell. Sometimes the friendliest ones may not
necessarily be the strongest friend in the long run. One may be an absolute
little troublemaker, some others are reserved and coy. Curiosity has long been
considered a fairly good measurement of intelligence, yet it isn't a definite
guide in gauging the very young pup.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100320202129/goldenretriever/images/1/11/Golden_retriever_puppies.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="198" src="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100320202129/goldenretriever/images/1/11/Golden_retriever_puppies.png" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;">image <a href="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100320202129/goldenretriever/images/1/11/Golden_retriever_puppies.png">credit</a></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The chief factor, then, is to find a puppy of excellent
lineage and one with visible healthy energy. The healthy puppy is cheerful but
not nervous or hyperactive. Check for clean and bright eyes clean, the coat
should be shiny, the nose has clean from any mucous discharge, and with
healthy-looking skin. The dog's ears should be responsive responds when you
talk to him or if you make a sound. The low-spirited, cowering pup should not
be immediately disposed as mentally retarded.
It may not be feeling well due to, possibly, a needed<b><a href="http://j.gs/OQc"> worming</a></b> or
medication. If you feel a fondness on a puppy of this type, it is advisable not
take him yet. Instead, ask the breeder to get him in tip-top condition, and
then visit him later.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It can be very discouraging to be forced to medicate a puppy
the moment you take him home. It should not be necessary, and it will not be
when you insist on a dog with perfect health upon buying the puppy. Perfect health
implies two things: that the <b><a href="http://j.gs/OQd">puppy</a></b> is in good health at the present moment, and
that he has not been exposed to whatsoever disease or form of infection which
could break out in a few days.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Everything else depends on taste entirely. Other people
favor a dog with a long tail, others opt for a dog with a short one. Some like
upright ears, some like droopy ears. Some want long fur, some short, while
larger sizes appeal to many, and the average and toy sizes to other people. Fur
color choice also depends on taste, and there is a great deal of shades from
which to choose from.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Think of creating a list of your preferences in a dog, then
research on diverse dog breeds. See if you could find one which meets your
tastes. In the end, the pet that will please you is the one you wish for. This
will be your friend and pet whom you'll live with for the next decade or so.
Acquire the pet whose appearance delights you; do not allow anybody to decide
for you. And remember that size, sex, and fur type will dictate, to an extent,
the kind of pet care you should give.</div>

An ancient breed, the St. Bernard believably descends from
the heavy fighting dogs brought in to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Switzerland</st1:place></st1:country-region> by Roman armies in the
1st century A.D.. He earned fame in the Swiss Alps, where, at the Hospice of
St. Bernard, dogs were raised and trained to rescue travelers who get lost in
the snow. Its a huge, powerful dog having a strong back and well-developed
hindquarters and muscular and strong shoulders. The head is distinguished with
its broad forehead, wrinkles and furrow, and muzzle with loose-skinned lips.
Its rather high-set ears are medium-sized and lie near the cheeks, and his
lower eyelids fit rather loose. The long tail hangs with a flimsy upward curve
at the tip. He comes in two coat types: shorthaired (smooth, dense, and tough)
and longhaired (medium length, plain to slightly wavy).</div>

</tbody></table>Perhaps Asiatic in origin, the Mastiff comes down from ancient fighting dogs. In 55 B.C. it fought beside its masters in Britain against Caesar's Roman legions, and later at the Circus in Rome, when dogs were pitted against bulls, lions, bears, and tigers. So useful it was as a guard against wild animals that Anglo-Saxon law demanded it on large estates. It is a massive and strongly built dog, slightly arched over the loin, his forelegs straight and hind legs beefy. His head is broad and slightly rounded between the ears, the muzzle stark, forehead a bit wrinkled, dark eyes set apart, and V-shaped ears falling near the cheeks. His long, tapering tail drops straight in repose and produces a slight curve when the Mastiff is in action. The coat is coarse, short, and close-lying.<br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">While your dog goes out walking he might need protection against winter cold. The universal rule is: when you put on a topcoat yourself, set a sweater or coat on your dog if he is used to living in a heated house. Naturally, when he is let out for a couple of minutes to scamper around the yard or when he goes for a walk on a mild day, he does not need to be bundled up. But if he is out for any duration of time, or walked in cold or wind, he must wear a covering.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kakadu-Pet-Explorer-Fleece-Reflective/dp/B003YC51FU?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwtrionc-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" target="_blank"><img alt="Kakadu Pet Explorer Fleece Reflective Dog Coat, 22", Flame (Red)" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B003YC51FU&tag=httpwwwtrionc-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwtrionc-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B003YC51FU" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Should each dog wear a sweater or coat? The bigger, long-haired breeds don't need clothing of any type, particularly when fully grown. By that time their thick undercoat, covered with a coarser outer coat, protects the body from the cold. The flimsy puppy coat, however, isn't weather-resistant. Hence, if your pet is still bearing his puppy coat on his first winter, keep him moving outdoors and dry him well when his hair gets wet. For the fine-haired, thin-skinned, small breeds kept as house pets, these would require sweaters or coats on cold days.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Suede-Shearling-Coat-XS-Camel/dp/B0002XUIRA?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwtrionc-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" target="_blank"><img alt="Suede Shearling Coat - XS Camel" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B0002XUIRA&tag=httpwwwtrionc-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwtrionc-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B0002XUIRA" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Pet shops typically stock several different types of sweaters and coats for dogs. When selecting one, be sure that it covers the dog's chest, since this is the part that calls for the most protection. Fancy forms that are made of flimsy materials might be pretty to look at but are not much protection against the cold. Raincoats serve another purpose, naturally, and protect the neck and back including the chest. These save the owner loads of work, too, since a dog that's walked uncovered in the rain should be dried well when he comes in.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Zack-Zoey-Camo-Companion-Jacket/dp/B001KOSJTO?ie=UTF8&tag=httpwwwtrionc-20&link_code=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969" imageanchor="1" target="_blank"><img alt="Zack & Zoey Camo Companion Jacket Xxl Pink" src="http://ws.amazon.com/widgets/q?MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&ID=AsinImage&WS=1&Format=_SL160_&ASIN=B001KOSJTO&tag=httpwwwtrionc-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=httpwwwtrionc-20&l=bil&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=B001KOSJTO" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;" width="1" /></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal">Have your puppy get used to clothing of some sort while he is still young, for you never know when it might be useful. When sick, a housebroken dog often insists on going outdoors to relieve himself and, at these times, will require extra protection. Be cautious when putting on a sweater for the first few times. Don't scare the dog by pulling it over his head and ears. Rather, hold the sweater in one hand then place your other hand through the neck opening and spread it sufficiently to slip over the head softly.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">Almost all animal burns and scalds ensue from contact with direct heat like hot water, with grease, or other liquids; with chemical agents, or from gnawing on wires. A burn is induced by dry heat, like flames, while a scald is caused by damp heat—hot liquids spilled on the body, for example. Emergency treatment involves the following:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Thermal—For heat burns, help cool the area by putting on cold water or an ice pack for 20-30 minutes. Put on an antibacterial cream. Never apply butter, margarine, grease, salad oil, or other home remedies; these would just trap the heat and hold up the healing.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Chemical—For burns by corrosive chemicals, flush the skin with large amounts of cool water. If the substance contains an alkali, follow with a rinse of equal parts water and vinegar. If the substance contains an acid, follow through using a baking-soda rinse (2 to 3 tablespoons per quart of warm water).</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Electrical—unplug the wire from its power source when it is still touching the dog's body. When you can not unplug the cord, cover a heavy towel around your hand or use a ruler, broom handle, or other nonconductor of electricity to force the wire out of the mouth or off from the body.

The back is short, and the tail docked, while the smooth, hard coat fits close to the skin. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal">This is a member of the Spitz family. This perky dog's name traces to <st1:place w:st="on">Pomerania</st1:place>, where, around a century ago, it was bred down in size. Its ancestors were the northern sled dogs of <st1:country-region w:st="on">Iceland</st1:country-region> and <st1:place w:st="on">Lapland</st1:place>. When first presented to <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">England</st1:place></st1:country-region> during the mid-nineteenth century, some breeds weighed as much as 30 pounds. Despite its tiny size today, it has retained its make and shape. The Pom's body is short and dense having a level topline. A foxy head, small upright ears, dark almond-shaped eyes, thick coat, and crested tail laid flat over the back complete the picture. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
