Dog Obedience Training with Rosemarie

01/15/2025

Here's what's happening at our home. Four girls and two boys were rescued from living in the back of a car. They are 18 days old and will be ready for adoption around the 21st of February. Their mother is a Basenji, and their father is a Chihuahua. They will weigh only 15 lbs full-grown. If you are interested in adopting one, PM me. If you can sponsor one, that sure would help with food, a dewormer for mom, and upcoming vaccines. Oh and PLEASE share this post to help spread the news to help these babies find the right homes for them!

❄️ Protect Your Paws: The Winter Warning for Dog Owners 🐾
Hey pet parents!
As the winter chill sets in, so does the use of rock salt to keep those icy pathways clear. But here's a heads-up: not all rock salt is created equal when it comes to our furry friends' delicate paws!
Caution: Burn Hazard! Rock salt and similar deicers can pose a burn hazard to our dogs. 🐾 The salt can be harsh on their tender paws, leading to discomfort and potential injuries.
Excessive Salt Intake Dangers: Did you know that too much salt can be seriously harmful to your canine companions?
Excessive salt intake may result in kidney injuries, seizures, coma, or even worse, it could be fatal.
Let's make sure we keep our fur babies safe and sound this winter!
✅ Dog-Friendly Alternatives: Opt for pet-friendly rock salt or alternative deicers that are safer for your four-legged friends. 🐾 There are several options available that won't compromise your pet's health.
👉 Pro Tip: After walks, wipe your pup's paws to remove any potential residue, and consider using paw balm for extra protection.
Spread the word to keep our canine companions safe and happy this winter!
🐕❄️ Share this post with your fellow pet parents and let's make it a paw-some season for everyone! 🐾💙

WOW

This is so true.

Just because a dog is AKC registration, does not mean it’s automatically a quality dog. I had a call yesterday from a woman wanting a stud dog for her female who was in heat. So of course I asked if her dog had the necessary health testing for hips/elbows and was she dna tested for genetic diseases? Also what her pedigree was. There was a silence on the other end of the line, then I heard her say “ No she doesn’t have any of that. She is AKC and purebred, and my vet says she is healthy, and I have her registration paper, isn’t that good enough? I bought her for $800 in Columbus Ohio last year and got full AKC with her” ( this last part she sounded really proud of herself) And did your dogs parents have any health testing? No? Of course they didn’t… ugh I had to bite my tongue and remind myself that sometimes people just need education. So I explained to her the importance of x rays and dna testing to ensure that she wasn’t bringing into the world puppies predisposed to hereditary conditions. I could tell she was not particularly interested in my dialogue but she ask me what the cost of health testing would be. I told her, and offered to send her information. After another short silence she replied “ I dont need that Im just looking for a mate for my girl”. To which I replied that I do not stud my males to untested females.
SMH. She has no clue and does not care about the health or temperament of the puppies she is going to bring into this world.…the sad thing is there are way too many people like her out there. 😞
