A survey of more than 27,000 dogs in the Dog Aging Project has found that the most common reasons for visits to the vet have little to do with breed.

Like doodles? Buy a Poodle! Please!!

Carrying himself proudly, the Poodle has about him an air of distinction and dignity peculiar to himself. They are an active, intelligent, and elegant breed that is well known for their versatility.

Are you interested in a Standard Poodle? The OFA, working with the Poodle Club of America, recommends the following basic health screening tests for all breeding stock of Standard Poodles:
- Hip Dysplasia (OFA or PennHIP)
- ACVO Eye Exam
Health Elective (one of the following):
- Autoimmune Thyroiditis
- Sebaceous Adenitis
- Cardiac Exam (Basic, Advanced, or Standard Congenital Cardiac Exam)

Dogs meeting these basic health screening requirements are issued Canine Health Information Center (CHIC) numbers. For potential puppy buyers, CHIC certification is a good indicator the breeder responsibly factors good health into their selection criteria.

For more information about the Standard Poodle, please visit the parent club website: https://poodleclubofamerica.org/

Did you know? Dogs must be 24 months or older for OFA Hip and Elbow certification, and 12 months or older for Cardiac, Patellas, and Thyroid certification. There is no age minimum for eye certification, nor for DNA, since DNA does not change as the dog ages.

The OFA also does Preliminary evaluations on hips and elbows before 24 months of age. However, they will need to be re-evaluated again for a final certification once the dog reaches 24 months.

Do you know how the versatile Arabian horse earned that distinction? Arabians excel in various disciplines. They have exceptional endurance and thrive in a gamut of activities from reining and cutting to dressage and show jumping. This versatility makes them an enchanting sight to behold. What discipline do you enjoy most?

Emily Dickinson 💔
''If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.''

I've seen this post several times since November. I don't usually do reposting of lost animals much because I see so many so often. This one, however, has caught my attention and I just saw it again last week. Please keep an eye out if you see these two or know someone who has found them.
