Go German Pinscher!

German Pinscher: A Breed Saved From Extinction🐾 In the 1700s, an ancient German breed, the Pinscher, contributed its genes to a new breed of small pinscher, which evolved into today’s Miniature Pinscher. Two centuries later, the Min Pin returned the favor and, with the assistance of a single brave and dedicated breeder named Werner Jung, saved the German Pinscher from extinction.

Memorial Day Special: Remembering the Devil Dogs

The inscription on the back of this photo from the AKC Gazette collection reads: “Technical Sergeant Thomas Gately, USMCR, of Wilton, Conn., a well-known professional dog handler who has given up the sport and is now training Devil Dogs for Uncle Sam’s Marines.” Among other fanciers of the day who served with the K-9 Corps were Bob Forsyth and Henry Stoecker.

In the 1940s when Doberman Pinschers became war dogs — Devil Dogs — they were a new breed to most people in the United States. Wherever the Marine Devil Dogs went, they attracted the curious attention of people who had heard about the sleek and powerful breed but never had seen them. On Guam, the people who lived through the Japanese occupation remember the Devil Dogs as “the Dobermans” or “ah, the Dobermans,” because they remember how valuable they were in the liberation of their island home.

The Marines landed on Bougainville, the largest island in the Solomons, on November 1, 1943. The 24 canine members of the First Marine Dog Platoon was sent ashore just one hour after the first Marines hit the beach, under heavy mortar and rifle fire and were dispatched to various companies according to prearranged plans.

During WWII, approximately 75 percent of dogs used during combat were Doberman Pinschers, with 25 percent German Shepherds. Through a nonprofit organization, Dogs for Defense, the public could loan their family dogs to the Marine Corps. The Doberman Pinscher Club of America also supplied many of the war dogs.

The dogs used signals to alert the soldiers of Japanese presence as they were trained not to bark. The dogs could detect a human scent up to one-half mile away. … Each of the seven War Dog platoons fought in various locations in the Pacific during WWII, including Guam, Okinawa, and Guadalcanal.

In August 1945, the War Dog platoons were disbanded. Many of the dogs were retrained for civilian life and sent back to their families, while several remained with their handlers. There were 1,047 dogs enlisted during the war, with 465 serving in combat. Twenty-five dogs died during service in the Pacific during the war.

Through of the efforts of Dr. William W. Putney, a WWII veteran and commander of the 3rd War Dog Platoon, the first War Dog Memorial, a life-size bronze of a Doberman Pinscher, was unveiled on the U.S. Naval Base on Guam during the 50th anniversary of the liberation of that island.

Today is National German Shepherd Dog Day! Every year on May 10th, German Shepherd fans around the world come together to celebrate . This special occasion, which began on May 10th, 2011, celebrates this bright, versatile and powerful breed.
The well-bred German Shepherd Dog is stable, sensible, intelligent, quick to learn, loyal and protective of his home and property. Unfortunately, because of the breed’s popularity, the German Shepherd Dog has been exploited by some unscrupulous and irresponsible breeders. It’s a good idea to be extremely selective when choosing a puppy.

Aujourd'hui, c'est la journée nationale du berger allemand! Chaque année, le 10 mai, les amateurs de cette race du monde entier se rassemblent pour célébrer la Journée nationale du berger allemand. Cette occasion spéciale, qui a débuté le 10 mai 2011, rend hommage à cette race intelligente, polyvalente et puissante.
Le berger allemand élevé responsablement est stable, sensible, intelligent, capable d'apprendre rapidement, loyal et protecteur de son foyer et de ses biens. Malheureusement, en raison de la popularité de la race, le berger allemand a été exploité par des éleveurs peu scrupuleux et irresponsables. Il convient donc d'être extrêmement sélectif lors du choix d'un chiot.

Havanese country of origin is Cuba. As is true of the history of many breeds, Havanese history is a mixture of fact and probability.

I am quite concerned about the future of our breed.

The top left picture is what we should be trying to create in our dogs. I am seeing way too many A and B. The front leg should come back under the body to be correct. The neck should be back on the body to be correct.

The big question you have to ask yourself when you see a dog you think is correct is "How much dog is in front of the front leg?"

If you feel the is a good amount for dog in front of the leg ask your self "Is it prosternum and upperarm?" It must be both.

The front of the body must be in front of the front leg, but the front leg should also line up with the back of the neck.

⚠️Heat Wave Alert!⚠️

With the temperatures rising, please be aware that all dogs can easily overheat, in particular brachycephalic breeds as listed below!

Warning signs to look for:

🔹Excessive or loud panting
🔹Extreme thirst
🔹Thick saliva
🔹Vomiting
🔹Increased heart rate
🔹Bright red tongue & pale gums

To prevent your dog from over heating, walk your dog during the cooler hours (early morning or evening) & on soft ground rather than pavement to protect their paw pads.

It is also suggested that using frozen ice packs or frozen water to cool your dog down can have the opposite effect, therefore cool water is sufficient.

⚠️Remember⚠️ - dogs don't sweat like humans & have to pant & sweat through their paws to cool down making it much more difficult for them!
