Very interesting read -

Titer has become a very important and often controversial term in today’s veterinary world. No laboratory test in my memory has been more misunderstood, misinterpreted, misused, and downright maligned by owners and veterinarians alike. The most extreme example is the rabies vaccination. While this...

An eagerly awaited large followup study on canine vaccine adverse events was published recently, and it provides a lot of solid, but unsurprising, data.

UPDATE: Thank you all for your generosity! But we still need more to cover Vera's much needed dental. We have her dental appointment scheduled for November 10th and are pushing to raise the funds needed. Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Will you help us? We are the CA Miniature Schnauzer Rescue. Our mission is to assist Miniature Schnauzers who have been abandoned by their family with veterinary care and to place abandoned pups in new homes where they will be a valued member of a family. Our resources are being seriously stretched & challenged at this time. We have a six year old miniature schnauzer we recently rescued from the Bradshaw shelter. They asked us to help this dog who had been abandoned & brought to them by Animal Control Services. She needs extensive dental work that requires a big surgery to be performed by a canine dental specialist. Our regular vet said this situation is too severe & too complicated for them. The dog has been examined & the estimated cost is between $4,000 & $5,000. This dog is currently being cared for by a very experienced foster. That is our most urgent need right now. There are several other dogs in our care & other requests for care for other abandoned dogs.

Donations may also be sent via Zelle to [email protected] or via check mailed to our Treasurer (these methods help us avoid processing fees!):

Today I received an email asking if I had a black Miniature Schnauzer at stud, and how much was stud fee?

I responded with, send me a picture of your dog, your pedigree, copies of your health testing certs and your current eye exam.....they replied "I will pass".

Puppy buyers beware!!! You should be asking those questions too!!

POTENTIAL OWNER: How much is the puppy?
BREEDER: $1,600 USD
POTENTIAL OWNER: What?? It's way too expensive!!
BREEDER: What do you think would be a good price?
POTENTIAL OWNER: No more than $500. You breeders are so over priced.
BREEDER: I am sorry you see it this way, why don't you try it yourself?
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I've never done it!
BREEDER: For FREE I can teach you how to do it, and in addition you will have the knowledge to do it again.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Perfect, thank you!
BREEDER: To start you will need a female(average minimal cost $2500 and up). Also a male(average minimal cost $1500 and up) or semen (average $1000 and up). You will need to do genetic & health testing on them, averages about $750 per dog. Raise and provide daily care and feeding for 2 years.
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have that much money...
BREEDER: For $500 you can raise a litter for me and then keep one of the puppies. Obviously, you also have to pay the cost of whelping & care.
POTENTIAL OWNER: I can do that.
BREEDER: OK so I have a female due to whelp in 2 weeks. You will need to be available 24/7 around the clock for at least 8 weeks to help with delivery and care. Possibly tube or bottle feed puppies every 2-3 hours if the mom is low on milk the first couple weeks.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Eight weeks?? it's way too much time for me! I have to work.
BREEDER: You may also need the reproductive vet to do xrays($200-$500), possibly progesterone testing($75-$250) & a C-section($1000-$5000) and initial vet care on pups until old enough to be placed. Pups vets exams ($250 and up depending on how many puppies are in the litter)
Have on hand a scale, thermometer, latex gloves, sanitizer, absorbent tissues, scissors, hemostats, heating pad, whelping box, blankets, cleaning supplies, appropriate food with supplements for mothers, formula, medications & hand feeding supplies in case of emergency....
POTENTIAL OWNER: But I don't have all these things!
BREEDER: For $1000 you can buy them.
POTENTIAL OWNER: Ummm .... You know, I think it might be better if I just buy a puppy.
BREEDER: Wise decision.
For us breeders there are no vacations or holidays, while you go to visit with family & friends we are home at our dogs side caring for them. It is a no breaks commitment.
THIS IS THE REALITY
When you choose a professional, you don't only pay for the puppy but also:
Tools, knowledge, experience, love, time, sacrifices, etc... spot on…
