When one considers buying a puppy, one has to consider whether to have a male or female. The female is a bit smaller than the male, but this does not make much of a difference when you consider a male or female since both are still fairly large. Things to consider before getting a puppy are: do you plan on breeding? Are you going to use the puppy for tracking? Are you going to have the puppy spayed or neutered? And, what are the temperament of a female and a male and how does that apply to your lifestyle? [...]

Breeding the Pointer is something that has to be done only after lots of thought and consideration for the reasons you intend to breed the dog. If you intend to breed a litter of Pointer puppies to make money, you may as well abandon the idea. This is because the English Pointer is basically not a dog that promises a lucrative, commercial proposition.In fact, very few people have actually made any form of profit by raising Pointer puppies. Even the supply of Pointer puppies has by far exceeded its demand. And so considering this surplus of English Pointers, veteran English Pointer breeders now breed Pointers only with the aim of improving the quality of the breed. [...]

Everywhere you turn there seems to be a lot of dog breeders offering their services and their puppies for sale. If you are thinking of finding a Rat Terrier from among the numerous breeding services, here is a list of things to remember.Every dog breed has a specific breeder.

A good rule is to only find a Rat Terrier breeder with accreditation. [...]

As strange as it may sound, the Rat Terrier is actually in danger of breeding itself out. Originally brought over by migrant British workers in the 1920s, the Rat Terrier was made famous by its tiny stature, its seeming ferocity and its fleet-footedness. Some of them worked as vermin control, eradicating rats from farm lands and ranches. Others became excellent hunting companions, going after small game like hare, squirrels and wild fowl.This breed of dogs reached the peak of its popularity between the 1920s and 1940s. It was so popular in fact that almost all farm lands and all ranches in the US had one or more Rat Terrier patrolling the landscape. They served multiple duties like sentry or watchdog duties, hunting companion duties and vermin control. [...]

The Spinone is a very docile pet. Centuries of specific breeding has created a dog breed that can be considered patient and kind. It is overtly friendly towards people, even with strangers. If you have very young and very adventurous children at home, the Spinone Italiano may be the perfect pet for you.There is but one advice when you are choosing Spinone Italiano puppies for adoption. Never buy one from a pet shop. It's that simple. Spinone Italiano dogs (plural Spinoni Italiani) are prolific breeders, and many pet shops don't take that into consideration. The sad news is that this trait leads to irresponsible breeding, which in turn produces offspring that are not befitting the dog's basic conformation, usually exhibiting behavioral problems, and have genetic medical conditions. It is best to seek the services of Spinone Italiano breeders if you want to acquire one as a pet. [...]

Anesthesia has a well documented place in both human and animal medicine, and it's especially critical as a way to calm and treat animals who are frightened and in pain.The anesthetics that are used in veterinary medicine today are much safer than ones used in the past, and their results are much more predictable. Gas anesthetics can be quickly eliminated by simply removing the mask. Injectable anesthetics, meanwhile, all have a reversal agent that can be quickly administered if there are any adverse effects, such as a drop in the dog's blood pressure. This additional safety is very important, since veterinarians use anesthetics more than regular medical doctors. That's because many animals become extremely terrified or agitated while at the vet's. Therefore anesthesia is often used in procedures like X-rays, joint examinations and laparoscopic procedures. [...]
