REPOST :

“I am a Dobermann, cataloged one of the most intelligent and most feared dogs, I have served the US Navy and I will not narrate my dark past on the German side. They called me the devil's dog, today they ask me to behave like a Poodle, they have gone so far as to wear clothes ...

I am a Belgian Malinois :
Gifted among dogs, I shine in all disciplines and I am always ready to work. Today they ask me to relax on the couch all day.

I am an Akita Inu :
My ancestors have been selected to fight with other dogs. Today they ask me to be tolerant of my peers, and they blame me for my reactivity when one of them approaches me.

Iam a Beagle:
When I followed my prey, I gave a voice so that the hunters could follow me. I was leading the dance.
Today they put an electric collar on me to silence me, and they want me to return to the call in a snap of fingers.

I am a Yorkshire Terrier:
I was a rat catcher, fearsome in the English mines. Today they think that I can't use my legs and they always hold me in their arms.

I am a Labrador Retriever:
My vision of happiness is a dip in a pond to bring my master the duck he just shot. Today we forget that I am a sports dog, I am fat and I have to babysit the children.

I am a Jack Russell Terrier:
I am capable of facing a fox larger than me in its own den. Today they blame me for my damn character and want to turn me into a parlor dog.

I am a Siberian husky :
I got to know the great spaces of northern Russia, where I could pull sledges at impressive speed. Today I only have the walls of the garden on my horizon, and my only occupation is the holes I dig in the ground.

I am a Border Collie:
I am cut out to work eight hours a day, and I am an incomparable artist of herd labor. Today they blame me because in the absence of sheep, I try to control bicycles, cars, children from home, and everything that is in motion.

I am...
I'm a 19th century dog.

I am handsome, I am alert, I am obedient, I can put up with being in a purse ... but I am also an individual who needs to express his instincts, and I am not suitable for the sedentary life that you want me to carry.

Spending eight hours a day alone on the patio, seeing you a little at night when you come back, and being entitled to any activity just a short walk to the bathroom will make me deeply unhappy.

I'll express it by barking all day, turning your garden into a minefield, relieving myself on the inside, being unmanageable the few times I'll find myself on the outside, and sometimes spending my days on my cushion, then you'll think I'm happy to To be able to enjoy all this comfort while you go to work: in reality I will be in full depression, because it is not the preference of the human, but also that of the dog of the XXI century.

If you like me, if you dream of me forever, if my beautiful blue eyes or my athlete look make you want to possess me, but you can't give me a real life of a full dog, a life that is really worth living, and if not you can offer me the job my genes claim ... then quit me.
If you like my rhythm but are not ready to accept my character traits from rigorous genetic selection, and you think you can change them with your only good will ... then quit me.

I'm a 19th century dog, yes. But, deep there, the one who fought, the one who hunted, the one who pulled sleds, the one who led a herd still sleeps. And sooner or later, you will wake up. For better or worse.”

🕷🕷 AND 🕷🕷

HERE IS THE SAFEST AND CHEAPEST WAY TO GET RID OF TICKS AND LIME DISEASE :

Here is everything you need to know to keep your dogs free from Ticks and safe from Lyme disease i.e. Tick Borne Disease or commonly known as Tick Fever.

Due to high rate of increase in Ticks and Fleas in last few years and the reactions, it has become very difficult to recommend remedies for treatment.

Now there are Remedies with No Sprays, No Collars, No Harmful Chemicals or No Isoxazoline tablets.

For puppies it would be of great help in Ticks removal and getting control in Tick Fever too.

FOR TICKS REMOVAL AND TICK FEVER CONTROL.

:

1. THE FIRST APPROACH IS TO KEEP YOUR DOGS CLEAN AND YOUR KENNEL AREAS TOO.

2. 200 (In liquid form):

My Dogs had Ticks and Fleas problem which went away in less than 15days after treating their ye**ty smell that normally comes from their body.

Especially in this gloomy climate and season they had a bad "dog smell" and black-ish stuff on their skin.

What to do :

Give SULPHUR 200 - 10 - 15 Drops Early Morning Before Food for 10 days to 15.

I gave SULPHUR 200 - 10 to 15 drops to all of them (even those who weren't affected - as a protection) every other day until the smell was gone.

The ticks disappeared but then the smell came back after a month again.

However, repeating the SULPHUR always gets rid of Ye**ty Smell again which automatically won't attract the Ticks.

Note : Apple cider vinegar if unpasturised can be good for their immune system and does change the pH balance so they don't smell ye**ty. You can add some Apple cider vinegar 20 ml in 1ltr of water and spray gently inside the dog's coat. Dogs sometimes may have digestive issues if we use apple cider vinegar.

Remember Fleas and Ticks are not as attracted to dogs who don't have that ye**ty smell coming out from their skin and feet.

Keeping our dogs yeast free is the number one way to protect them as they are less likely to attract insects and parasites.

The First Point is to create an inhospitable environment for Ticks and Fleas which repels them and at the same time keeping in mind we need to protect our dogs free from Lyme disease - the most concerned area.

3. 200 (In liquid form) :

Apart from Ticks and Fleas removal, most of us are forgetting about the TICK BITES which leads to Lyme Disease and this stays dormant for years and again erupts.

Our focus is not only on the tick repel. Our focus should be on the Lyme disease remedies and its control too

If you've never used homeopathy before, don't be afraid!

Here's what to do if you find a tick on your dog.

Buy Ledum palustre in a 200C potency.

What to do:

1. Give the first dose 10 - 15 drops at the time you remove the tick.
2. Continue dosing with Ledum 10 - 15 drops every 3 hours for the first day.
3. Then, dose twice daily for a week.
4. After the first week, dose twice weekly for a month.
5. Then once per week for another month.

Ledum is a remedy that's great for puncture wounds and can help prevent tetanus and tick-borne disease.

Note : For critical cases please do consult with your Vets.

Rocky, the Labrador Retriever in the picture has been abandoned to die without food and proper care.

He was just like any other pet dog with food and family from his puppyhood but one day his family decided to abandon him due to their personal issues and now he has been left on his fate to struggle (for which he was never trained for) for food, water and life. Basically be has been abandoned in streets to struggle for life and die a painful death.

He needs love, care, grooming and proper food to regain his health as well as beautiful coat. Will appeal a loving family to come forward and give him a forever home.

Will be more than glad to help him getting adopted.

JUST A DOG !!

21/08/2022

Over a million has been spent for the health issues of my badly bred in last two years.
Hence, it's important to get a well bred dog / puppy from a responsible Breeder and NOT from any Pet Shops or Backyard Breeder (who mates a pair of dogs without getting any health test done).

15/08/2022

Greetings to all on 75th Indian Day of Independence.

14/08/2022

Rottweiler Vs Pugweiler.

Mind it, *Dogs are bred for health* and temperament and NOT for mere cosmetics. If a certain type of breeding (read Brachycephalic type here) is causing structural defect to the extent of leaving a dog struggle for it's breath, then this is completely unethical.

Perfect healthy specimens should be revived and for that purpose, awareness is important. Let's not encourage unethical breeding of more sick specimens of GSDs or Rottweilers or any other sick pure breeds by buying or selling them.
Atleast for the love of these loyal friends, we should pledge that.

Many dogs in these breeds (short muzzle punch faced dogs) suffer from a disease called Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome (BOAS). The compact architecture of their skull results in deformation, that make the nostrils or soft palate too small, obstructing natural smooth airflow and leaving the dogs gasping for breath.

Why you shouldn't buy a Puppy from Pet Shops / Puppy Mills / Backyard Home Breeders even if you get them for cheap..

When you decide to buy a dog, following things should be kept in mind :

1) A Dog will be a commitment for life..both in their health and sickness. That's why extensive home work should be done on what kind of dog you want, which breed and why as from time immemorial, dogs have been bred for purpose. Some were bred for cattle guarding, some for protection work, some for fetching game birds, some for only companionship etc. So their behaviour varies from breed to breed. Whether you intend to buy the dog for working purpose, or show purpose or just as a companion pet because of drive and amount and kind of exercise in these three kinds of dogs differ from each other.
Unless you can truly commit to the work, don't buy a dog.

2) When you're done with selecting a breed and it's line of work intended to do for lifetime, then comes the most important part..from where NOT TO GET A PUPPY FROM ??

This is the most important part as a puppy's lifetime health, temperament and conformation largely depends on breeding. NO, its never all the way you raise them. Genetics play the most important role in deciding the overall health, temperament (aggressive or friendly and a lot more comes in temperament) and physical structure / growth.

Hence getting a dog randomly bred in a home by a backyard breeder or puppy mill or by pet shops have all the risk of getting a dog with extremely / moderately bad health or chronic health issues including (skin and coat), extremely bad behaviour or genetic faults as health and behavioural issues becomes unmanageable at times and people are forced to abandon them on streets or shelters later.

Buying form Pets Shops / Puppy Mills / Backyard Home Breeders means the Breeder doesn't understands the breed, hasn't done any mandatory basic health tests of the parents before mating them, doesn't breed keeping in view health and temperament, doesn't whelp the puppy properly or provide good food to the mother, doesn't provide appropriate paperworks (kennel cub registration is necessary even if you don't plan for dog shows / future breeding just to ascertain whether the bitch has been over bred / bred end number of times or bred according to the rules), doesnt vaccinate or deworm the dog appropriately and will remove the puppy from mother (and then sell) the puppies before 60 days (immunity, behavioural pattern depends broadly upon genetics or how long the puppy has been in with mother and with the litter as mother milk is necessary for initial immunity and mother shapes the behaviour to a great extent).
So this means, getting a puppy from pet shops the dogs will be having chronic health issues because of low immunity and genetic faults and will be an unstable companion for your child due to untrustworthy behavioural issues.

So getting puppy from pet shops is not only inviting financial trouble or mental stress for yourself lifelong and having a dog with behavioural issues but also contributing in flourishing the unregulated unethical (Rs. 600 million) domestic pet market (pet shops, puppy mills, backyard home breeding etc.) thus contributing to the over bred, badly kept (with no proper food, medical care etc.) female/male dogs who're left after they're unable to produce more by the puppy mills.

The transportation system of pet shops are illegal and horrible where under aged puppies (say 20/24 days) are separated from mother and litter, then 6/7 puppies are transported in the extremely suffocating environment in luggage compartment of buses or trucks where 2/3 puppies die (if not more) pathetically during this transportation.
You must not be the one contributing to the plight of these over bred abandoned bi***es / dogs or badly kept puppies.

So one should ensure that while buying a puppy, you aren't inviting badly bred-raised puppies with chronic / genetic health and behavioural issues and contributing to Puppy Mills who're exploiting their dogs without proper food, care and old age facilities or badly fed, transported puppies.

How to recognise Puppy millers from verbal contact :

Words like 'super size', - King Shepherd', 'massive head" , "xtraordinary size", "double bone' , 'extra punch face' "apple head" , "heavy" , "extra wooly" , "super wooly", "huge", 'Woolly Coat GSD', 'Double Coat GSD' (All GSDs have 2 coats atleast, one outer coat and one inner coat), "import line", "champion line", "superb quality" "big" will mostly be used by them unethical dog sellers...these words DO NOT DENOTE QUALITY.
They just signify crappy puppy with a whole lot of bu****it meaningless words used to fool you into buying puppy mill dogs. As earlier said, dogs are breed for health and temperament and not only for cosmetics / looks.

Abandonment of dogs come from houses which have got dogs from pet shops or backyard home bedding. Else in case, the owner face some issues and wants to surrender the dog, Breeder stays there to support their own bred Dog for the rest of it's life through re-homing them or keeping with themselves.

Where to get a puppy from will be updated in the follow up post. Stay connected.

Labrador Retrievers are gun dogs used for retrieving prey and hence are classified as working dogs. They were originally bred of hunting dogs and were used to retrieve game birds from land and water both.

Modern days Labradors are bred in two category working line (American Labradors) and showline (English Labradors). Showline while are eye catchers but lacks the working ability and can't endure field activity. Still showline also need exercise like running, swimming etc.

Working line Labradors are thinner in size but have way more higher drive for field works for which the breed was originally bred for. They're powerful and indefatigable swimmers noted for their ability to tolerate the coldest of water for extended periods of time. Their ability to work quietly alongside hunters while watching for birds to fall from the sky, marking where they land and then using their outstanding nose to find and retrieve dead or wounded birds has made them the king of waterfowl retrievers.

In video, Gunner, a working line Labrador Retriever can be seen retrieving a prey from a water body. These preys can weight upto 10 k.gs and hence Labradors have a wide and strong jaw.

Indian Labrador Retrievers are usually progeny of showline Labradors and lack the endurance of extensive field work. There's no Breeder for working line / Field Labrador in India and hence not a single Labrador have working qualities. Those which our defense forces use are also English Labradors with stockier body.

Just like showline Labradors, working line Labradors also have various field competitions and titles.
