]]>Fri, 07 Oct 2011 18:30:19 GMTI found that the Caucasian Ovcharkas we have raised came into their temp between 8 and 12 months.  There are some variations of course but for the most part you know by 12 months if they will be a good guard dog.

]]>Mon, 30 Jun 2014 21:28:52 GMTI just saw this post and visited the link.  After cruising through the site it appears that it is probably a good course. Online courses are quite good these days at technology has enable very good online presentation and interaction for instructors and students.  The thing you want to be aware of is what is their basis for the instruction - do they do correction, positive reinforcement training, physical correction - basically is it just theory based on a method.  Nothing wrong with it but you must be aware. Seems like a good choice as a place to learn the basics and then put it into practice.

Training, yes you must. A trusting relationship, time spent together, an understanding of what life is throwing their way in the way of hormones in the environment is imperative Male dogs mark, some inside, most just outside. With a young developing dog they should never be left in a room alone, and should be taken outside often and praised for going outside NO dog doors Some young male dogs become melancholy when they can smell hormones but can’t access them, they sometimes go off food for a bit, drop a little weight, and become mopey, this does pass with age Some young male dogs can become hyper-sexual, pushy, and aggressive with other dogs because their hormones have basically high-jacked their system, not common, but it can happen So, know who you have, understand how life happens, and look at your dog as an individual and what would be best for them. You are their voice in the human world, use it wisely and with care. https://nancytanner.com/2021/02/19/living-with-an-intact-dog/  https://nancytanner.com/about/  https://pawsandpeople.com/ ...

]]>Tue, 08 Apr 2025 04:56:57 GMTBreeding and genetic modification in dogs raise important ethical questions. Let’s look into some of these considerations:Responsible Breeding Prioritizes Welfare:Ethical breeders prioritize the health and well-being of animals over aesthetics. Breeding for extreme physical traits (like flat-faced dogs) can lead to serious health issues.Responsible breeders carefully select traits that enhance an animal’s quality of life.Avoiding inbreeding is crucial to maintain genetic diversity and prevent genetic disorders.Avoiding Inbreeding:Inbreeding, mating closely related animals, can lead to genetic problems and reduced breed diversity.Ethical breeders work to maintain genetic diversity for long-term health and vitality.Responsible Ownership:Ethical breeding extends to responsible ownership.Breeders should screen potential buyers thoroughly to ensure proper care and prevent neglect.Adherence to Legal Regulations:Responsible breeders comply with legal regulations related to breeding, including licensing, vaccinations, and record-keeping.Impact on Animal Welfare:Improved Health and Longevity: Ethical breeding practices result in healthier animals with fewer genetic health issues.Reduced Strain on Shelters: Ethical breeders reduce overpopulation, minimizing euthanasia due to lack of homes.Promotion of Responsible Ownership: High standards inspire proper care and attention to pets.In summary, ethical breeders play a pivotal role in animal welfare by prioritizing health, avoiding inbreeding, and promoting responsible ownership. As consumers, we can support these practices by choosing breeders who adhere to ethical standards and raising awareness of responsible pet ownership.... Read more

]]>Mon, 06 May 2019 04:44:41 GMTThe home remedy for fleas is garlic. But I don't think it will help with ticks.   I've had nothing but good success with k9 advantage. I works or fleas, ticks, mosquito, and biting flies. It last for 30 days. It's a topical like frontline. It's waterproof. 

]]>Sat, 07 Oct 2017 06:31:10 GMTMust be an old story, but I just read it, what’s your opinion on corn and the likes in dog food? http://www.dogbreedinfo.com/care/corndogfood.htm 'A dog's body cannot process corn properly. It is difficult for them to digest it. Corn is a cheap filler, a starchy energy which serves little to no nutritional value. A lot of it comes out in their waste.' This makes sense to me?

]]>Sat, 27 Dec 2014 23:59:54 GMTNo. You can take dogs from state to state.  There is not pet passport that I am aware of. My dogs were moved from Virginia to Texas - There are not border crossings etc.

]]>Fri, 22 May 2015 11:07:10 GMTI am sorry you and your dog is going through this difficult situation. Wearing the cone collar is not that bad as many of my dogs have had to wear it for different reasons.  Since your dog is loosing its sight - it is probably time to bring him inside for a more mundane lifestyle.  It is quite obvious that this dog is very special to you and you will do what is right by him. Please let us know how the ERG goes and what you decide to do.
