“Aries” has a big sister too! This is Ivy, from Zivah’s second litter (Zivah x Preston - 2022), so they actually are half siblings. Fun fact - Dante’s parents have Harper, from Zivah’s first litter (Zivah x Caesar - 2020)!!

Maybe we could persuade them for a family photo of the siblings!

Friends,

We have officially severed all ties with the GoodDog platform as of today. We have requested that our page be removed from the platform and our account closed.

Their site continues to allow “breeders” who don’t health test their breeding dogs, but our biggest complaint is they legitimize “Doodle” breeders. This promotes the creation of mixed breeds solely for financial gain.

Please, if you haven’t done so already, educate yourself on the difference between backyard breeders and preservation breeders.

It's that time of year that we make an unpopular but necessary statement: we don't like the flexi-leashes! There is a time and place for flexible leashes but a veterinary clinic is NOT the place for it.

Leashes should:
-help with control of your pet
-a safety mechanism for both OWNER and PET

Flexi-leashes don't provide either, especially in a parking lot, veterinary clinic, or a city street/sidewalk. If your pet is 6 feet out in front of you, how can you control them from jumping out into the street? If your flexi-leash locking mechanism fails, how will you pull them back in without burning your hand? If you have to do something and use both hands( sign something, find your car keys etc), how will you hold onto your flexible leash?

We've also seen injury to dogs from flexible leashes. They can run really fast and really hard and then get whiplash. We've seen neck injuries, back injuries ( when they flip over) and even broken legs when they run hard and the leash isn't retracting in time and wraps around their leg.

we are not saying it's not helpful when you are trying to exercise your dog or allow them to the the bathroom in private. We are just saying there is a time and place for use and in public areas, like a veterinary clinics or parking lot, is not the place for them.

Yesterday (July 22, 2024), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) provided an update to related to new CDC requirements effective August 1 for importing or traveling into the United States with a dog older than 6 months of age.

The revisions to the rule no longer require an additional rabies vaccination form certified by a USDA-accredited veterinarian or an official government veterinarian in the exporting country. Instead, for dogs entering the U.S. from low-risk or dog-maintained rabies virus variant (DMRVV)-free countries like Canada, the revised rule simplifies entry by requiring one form—the CDC Dog Import Form—that does not have to be endorsed by a veterinarian. This form requires the dog's microchip number, a picture, and an attestation that the dog has not been in a high-risk country in the past six months.

Additionally, instead of making travelers update this form for every entry, it will now be valid for six months. However, CDC will continue to require all dogs entering the U.S. to be at least six-months old and be microchipped.

Trainers routinely watch dogs play the game of offering their best to those who demand it and offering something very different to those who don’t.

The sheer number of highly trained dogs running around pretending not to know anything is one of the greatest ruses ever pulled on permissive and/or gullible owners.

This is why your trainer can’t (or shouldn’t) make any guarantees about how the dog will behave with you—because if you won’t hold the dog accountable for what it knows and is capable of, your dog’s “memory” will be impressively brief.

Of course your trainer has to train you as much as they do the dog—or more—but once that knowledge is passed along, only one party can make the new reality… reality.

And yes, you can feel free to substitute child for dog if that helps bring more clarity to this dynamic that you’ve almost certainly seen in other contexts.
