Newfoundland Dog, The Aristocrat Among Dogs

/ Oreo

I know your dog loves to ride and doesn’t really care if he / she has muddy feet or not. Protect your car’s cargo area with a good liner so you and your dog can both be happy while traveling.

You can use one of these cargo liners for more than riding your pet. They are great if you have children who bring home their muddy sports gear or maybe to transport a lot of gardening plants, soil and tools.

NEWFOUNDLAND – THE ARISTOCRAT AMONG DOGS.

The dogs which take their name from the island of Newfoundland appeal to all lovers of animals. There are now two established varieties, the black and the white and black. There are also bronze-colored dogs, but they are rare. The black variety of the Newfoundland is essentially black in color; but this does not mean that there may be no other color, for most black Newfoundlands have some white marks. In fact, a white marking on the chest is said to be typical of the true breed. Any white on the head or body would place the dog in the other than black variety. The black color should preferably be of a dull jet appearance which approximates to brown. In the other than black class, there may be black and tan, bronze, and white and black. The latter predominates, and in this color, beauty of marking is very important. The head should be black with a white muzzle and blaze, and the body and legs should be white with large patches of black on the saddle and quarters, with possibly other small black spots on the body and legs.

Apart from color, the varieties should conform to the same standard. The head should be broad and massive, but in no sense heavy in appearance. The muzzle should be short, square, and clean cut, eyes rather wide apart, deep set, dark and small, not showing any haw; ears small, with close side carriage, covered with fine short hair (there should be no fringe to the ears), expression full of intelligence, dignity, and kindness.

The body should be long, square, and massive, loins strong and well filled; chest deep and broad; legs quite straight, somewhat short in proportion to the length of the body, and powerful, with round bone well covered with muscle; feet large, round, and close. The tail should be only long enough to reach just below the hocks, free from kink, and never curled over the back. The quality of the coat is very important; the coat should be very dense, with plenty of undercoat; the outer coat somewhat harsh and quite straight.

The appearance generally should indicate a dog of great strength, and very active for his build and size, moving freely with the body swung loosely between the legs, which gives a slight roll in gait. As regards size, the Newfoundland Club standard gives 140 lbs. to 120 lbs. weight for a dog, and 110 lbs. to 120 lbs. for a bitch, with an average height at the shoulder of 27 inches and 25 inches respectively; but it is doubtful whether dogs in proper condition do conform to both requirements.

When rearing puppies give them soft food, such as well-boiled rice and milk, as soon as they will lap, and, shortly afterwards, scraped lean meat. Newfoundland puppies require plenty of meat to induce proper growth. The puppies should increase in weight at the rate of 3 lbs. a week, and this necessitates plenty of flesh, bone and muscle-forming food, plenty of meat, both raw and cooked. Milk is also good, but it requires to be strengthened with casein. The secret of growing full-sized dogs with plenty of bone and substance is to get a good start from birth, good feeding, warm, dry quarters, and freedom for the puppies to move about and exercise themselves as they wish. Forced exercise may make them go wrong on their legs. Medicine should not be required except for worms, and the puppies should be physicked for these soon after they are weaned, and again when three or four months old, or before that if they are not thriving. If free from worms, Newfoundland puppies will be found quite hardy, and, under proper conditions of food and quarters, they are easy to rear.

Pros and Cons Of Bringing A Dog Into Your Home

/ Oreo

Taking care of a dog is a huge responsibility, yet very rewarding. You probably will not master this bond on the first day. To increase your knowledge, take a look at the tips below.

Make sure your home is dog-proof. Check your whole home to be sure it is safe prior to bringing a dog home. All cleaning materials and drugs must be put away, and put your trash receptacle inside a cabinet. Certain plants are toxic, and it’s best to move them, too.

Get a properly fitting collar for your dog and remember that they will grow and the collar will need to be adjusted. Vets have had to do surgery on many a dog where the collar has grown into their neck.

Make sure that your dog gets neutered. A neutered dog will live longer and have less risks of developing cancer. Also, dogs that are fixed do not want to run away as much.

Which breed you need to buy depends on your lifestyle. For instance, if you are athletic, you might want an active dog, not a poodle. On the other hand, a cuddly small dog may be perfect for those who enjoy a quiet evening reading on the couch. Getting a dog that matches your lifestyle will make you both more happy.

Ask your vet how much food your dog should get every day. Though some folks feed whatever the package recommends, those guidelines are not always appropriate and can lead to overfeeding. Speak to the vet about what makes sense for your dog. But, also pay attention to your dog. Like us, some days they are more active and therefore more hungry. If you are not feeding your dog enough they may become overly aggressive about their food.

Rawhide treats are better for your dog than real meat bones. Bones can lodge in the mouth or throat, causing devastating injuries. Also, rawhide is better for the health of your dog’s teeth. If you feed your dog real meat bones use the big round marrow bones.

Never force a dog to do something. If you’ve purchased your dog treats that it doesn’t want to eat, set them aside. You need to find out what your dog does and does not like.

Make sure that you’re giving your dog enough exercise. Regular exercise and play time promotes the health and happiness of your dog. No matter what you do, whether it’s going for a long walk or simply throwing a ball or stick, both you and your dog will benefit. It gives you exercise and helps develop a relationship that will last forever with your dog.

Become acquainted with dog food labels and avoid buying based solely on cost. It is best to invest in quality dog food. While this may mean paying higher prices for a premium brand, you can be assured your dog is getting the proper nutrients from wholesome sources.

Properly teach your dog how to walk with a good leash. He should stay by your side, not in front of or behind you. Doing this will not only be easier on you, but it will also keep your dog safe. When you dog understands the command to heel, you can relax occasionally and walk with a loose leash without having your arm pulled off.

Your dog should not be left outside all the time. Yes, people do this too often, but dogs require interactions with people and other dogs for their well-being. When your dog is the only one you have, leaving him alone will make him sad. Plus, bad weather can be unhealthy and even life threatening to your pet.

Make sure you exercise both your dog’s mind and its body. You can teach your dog to be helpful with and respectful of things in your house. The training will challenge him mentally and the affection you show for a job well done will bond him to the family routine.

Clean up completely if your dog uses the bathroom on your floor. Use a cleaner that gets rid of smells. If your dog can still smell it, he may repeatedly defecate in that area.

It should be easy to care for your dog with the advice found above. All you have to do is be patient and loving and you will know that your pet appreciates it. Keep educating yourself to discover more ways to improve your dog’s life and make your time together more enjoyable.

Last Updated Aug 6, 2016 Some people just want a dog for protection and others want a true companion. You may have the mindset that each dog at your local shelter or pet store is a cuddly creature who will keep you warm at night. The end result might be different.

Having a dog at your home is a big financial commitment. High quality dog food, medical care, toys and treats can easily run close to $1,000 in a year. Emergency vet visits can cost a ton, so you might want to weigh the cost vs. the cost of purchasing health insurance for your dog.

Just like people need regular yearly physicals, dogs need the same thing. Since your dog cannot talk to you, it may be hard to determine when arthritis is setting in or a tooth begins hurting. A checkup once a year will help diagnose any problems.

Make sure that your dog gets neutered. This reduces the chances of cancer and helps keep the stray animal population down. Furthermore, altered dogs do not have the tendency to wander off, so they will stay safer.

Hand Signals

It can be really helpful to incorporate hand signals with verbal commands when first training your dog. Your dog can figure out things easier when they get these signals. Find out the way that your dog prefers and use it. With time you and your dog will develop a routine and the dog will find its own signals. For instance they will know when you go get the leash it is time to get excited because you are going for a walk.

Dogs will also tend to learn ways to tell you that they need to go outside. Some will come and stare at you. Some will paw at the door. Some will stand at the door and bark. The key here is that you have to be trainable also and learn to respond to these signals as well.

A full check-up, a clean bill of health, and a full complement of the necessary shots is the best way to start off your relationship with your dog.

Do not leave your dog outdoors for extended periods of time. This is common for people to do, but dogs should interact with others. Only having one dog can cause him to get lonely. In addition, during snowstorms and rainstorms, you need to bring your dog inside to avoid bad weather and extreme temperatures.

Certain breeds of dog are prone to certain health problems, and you should be aware of what’s typical for your type of dog. Research the heritage of your pup and learn how to prevent any common problems. Also, seek advice from your vet.

When you leave to work, leave music on for your dog just to be nice, or if he has separation anxiety. The noise can help him feel more secure. When it comes to treating your pet’s anxiety, a little music could be exactly what the doctor ordered.

Make sure your let your dog know you love him. Most of the time you are paying attention to the very bad things they do and overlooking the good. This could lead to trouble down the line. You should mostly focus on praising and petting your dog when you notice a good behavior. When you do this, you will probably end up with a better behaved dog.

Just take a moment to sit down with your dog and give him or her a big hug. It will be good for your health and the dog will love it.

It is not uncommon for dogs to get cuts on their paws from stepping on pieces of glass and debris. Small cuts can be treated by washing, flushing with hydrogen peroxide and bandaging. Go to a vet if it seems like the cut is very deep.

Schedule appointments with the vet regularly. Dogs need to be checked for heartworm and other health issues, and need to have any and all necessary vaccinations. Puppies need to go to the vet more often then adult dogs. If your dog shows signs or injury or illness, you must see a vet immediately.

There are a lot of factors that go into owning a dog. There is a lot that comes with dog ownership and one can quickly fall for the face of an adorable puppy. You need to learn more about dog training and assess how much a dog is going to cost you before you get one.
