July 11th, 2010 by admin

It is important that anyone who is thinking about becoming the owner of a Pit Bull learn about the breed before making the final decision. Pit Bulls need owners that can provide them with lots of love and attention, and keep doing it forever. They need to be trained well in order for them to make a great pet. Pit Bulls have a lot of energy and can be very headstrong, but with the proper training learn to deal with this and become very loving, devoted pets to their owners. One thing that makes training Pit Bulls easier is that in general, they are a highly intelligent breed of dog, and tend to catch on quick.

When training your Pit Bull, it is important to remember that they can be very stubborn and hard to deal with at times. You have to keep in mind that your Pit Bull has a mind of its own, and that it may not always behave as you would like him to. Owners have to be patient when this happens, and try very get annoyed with their pet. Training tends to go smoother when started at an early age, many recommend beginning when the puppy is around eight weeks old for best results. At any age, you will have better results if you make training fun, and keep a positive attitude toward your pet.

You should make socialization a big part of your daily training routine. This helps the Pit Bull learn to control his aggression when around people and other dogs. If you can sign your Pit Bull up for training classes, he will also get socialization with other dogs while he is learning other things.

Expect a battle for supremacy with your pit at around thirteen to sixteen weeks of age. He will start to see how far he can push you, and will really start pushing his limits to see how far he can go. This is the time that he may also begin to try to bite or nibble on you during play. It is very important that you assert that you are the owner during this time, so that he knows who is boss and learns to respect that.

When owners devote time and effort into properly training their pits, in the end they will have very friendly dogs that love their family very much. Pit Bulls love to be around people and be the center of attention, and with the right owners are great pets. Just remember that when training you pit, it is necessary to be strong and stay consistent.

Why Are Dogs Man’s Best Friend?

July 10th, 2010 by admin


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Everyone is familiar with the expression that a dog is a man’s best friend, but people who have not owned a dog of their own may not understand why. Throughout history, dogs have been constant companions to humans and have served a number of purposes. They have many attributes that make them seem very much like a member of the family and they can easily become the best friend of their owners.

There is actually archeological evidence to suggest that dogs have been companions to human beings for about 14,000 years. In every culture, and even in the bible, there are references to dogs being the protectors of humans and aides in important tasks such as hunting. There have even been graves uncovered in ancient cemeteries where dogs were buried alongside their owners.

One of the reasons that dogs become so closely attached to families is that they are very protective. They have a natural desire to protect their owners which is why, in many cases, they make excellent watch dogs, alerting their owners of intruders. Many breeds of dog are known for their extreme loyalty to the people who take care of them.

Families also love having dogs in the family because they can be easily trained to help with a variety of tasks. Depending on the breed, many dogs are naturally great at assisting their owners with things such as hunting and farming. They can even be trained to do tricks and play games, making them excellent companions for children. With the right attention, almost any dog can be trained to be the perfect companion for its family.

There are many qualities about dogs that make people love them because they seem so much like humans. They are able to understand social hierarchies and have a knack for reading social cues. This is why it always seems like the family dog will lay down and cuddle when their owner is sad or jump up and play when they are in a great mood.

Whether someone is going to be hunting or simply wants a companion to keep them company, a dog can make a great friend. They are very loyal companions and will go out of their way to protect the people they love from danger. In addition to being fierce protectors and excellent helpers in hunting and farming, they are good natured and playful creatures that make great friends for the entire family.

Tribal Pitbull Tattoo – Tips on Getting Your New Tattoo!

July 7th, 2010 by admin


Image : http://www.flickr.com

It’s Friday night, just got your paycheck and ready to go get a new tribal pitbull tattoo. Found your design on the web and found a tattoo shop open late after you get off work. Appointment is set, and off you go to get your new body art. What is wrong with this picture? In a word, EVERYTHING!

Sure you have to spend some extra money to look at paid tattoo design sites, sure the tattoo is going to cost you a little bit more. Is it really worth going to an unknown artist, in a maybe not-so-clean shop, and get something inscribed onto your body? Using a paid website where you can ask questions of expert tattoo artists and business owners isn’t such a bad thing. Being able to connect to an artist and get a custom designed tattoo graphic is worth the money. You’re able to find yourself with an original piece of art, you can choose a reputable artist and location to minimize the chance of infection or worse, and you can rest knowing that in five years your great tribal tattoo isn’t going to all of a sudden start looking like an old Yoda from Star Wars.

Shopping for a tattoo based on its cost alone can cost you later. Take your time, do your homework on the tattoo that you want, and shop around. It doesn’t cost anything , and the benefits can be many. One thing for sure is, you don’t want some stock photo that’s been sold to every GI and drug dealer in all corners of the globe. You want something that screams your uniqueness.

Good luck getting your new tribal pitbull tattoo!

Some Facts About the German Shepherd Breed

July 6th, 2010 by admin


Image : http://www.flickr.com

The German Shepherd breed is loved by many and feared by some. As a distinct breed, the German Shepherd has only been recognized for a little over 100 years. As the name suggests, the German Shepherd had its origins in Germany. It is also known as an Alsatian, particularly in those Europe countries outside of Germany.

The popularity of the German Shepherd breed suffered somewhat during the two world wars due to anti-German sentiment at the time, but over the past 50 years it has become a very popular breed. Currently the German Shepherd is the third most popular breed in the United States. Insofar as intelligence is concerned, only border collies and poodles are brighter crayons in the box. The Shepherd is a quick learner, in spite of having a rather bold and self-assured temperament. This ability to respond to training shows in the way the Shepherd performs in police work, tracking, rescue work, and as a guard dog.

The German Shepherd breed is an extremely active breed and, being somewhat slow to reach full maturity, can be a handful for an owner not familiar with the breed. It was originally bred as a working animal, and as such requires room to roam and exercise. The breed is not vicious as some would lead you to believe, however it must be trained at a young age to socialize with people and smaller dogs. A well trained German Shepherd is obedient to the extreme, very loyal, and an extremely good family pet. It is good with children and often very protective of children and other family members, which of course can lead to problems in certain situations. For the most part though, Shepherds accept the advances of strangers, though are slow to bond with people they’ve only recently met. Although a large percentage of dog bites are attributed to the Shepherd, it must be remembered that there are many of the breed around, plus more people are apt to remember being nipped by a Shepherd than by a poodle or spaniel. The Shepherd is usually approachable yet fearless in its demeanor, giving one the impression that rather than being submissive it is willing to serve, yet in another sense demands to be treated with respect.

As a registered breed, the German Shepherd falls in the Herding group or category. It is a well-muscled animal, alert in temperament, and agile and nimble in movement. When observing a Shepherd, one gets a definite impression of balance and strength in motion, without heaviness or clumsiness. The German Shepherd breed is a trotting dog, with a smooth extended stride. At a trot the Shepherd can cover a remarkable distance in a short amount of time, as it appears to cover the maximum possible distance with each stride.

Shepherds typically stand 24 to 26 inches at the shoulder, the female typically being 2 inches shorter. They are more long than tall, dark in color, with darker being considered better in competitive show. The dog has pointed ears and a long wedge-shaped muzzle. When on alert the Shepherd will hold its head upright. When in motion, the head thrusts more forward than upwards. Although the Shepherd appears rather long in conformation, it actually has a short back, with a long wither, forequarters and hindquarters accounting for the body length. The legs and feet are somewhat short, adding to the appearance of the Shepherd being a “long dog”. The bushy tail, carried horizontally when in motion adds even more to this illusion of length.

Magnificent in appearance, loyal, obedient and intelligent, the German Shepherd breed is in many ways very different from other breeds, and requires a different approach in training in order to become the type of dog we expect of it. Yet the rewards gained make the effort involved in training a Shepherd more than worth it. But that is a subject to be addressed elsewhere.

Bad Pit Bull Public Perception

July 4th, 2010 by admin


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Let’s be honest. We all know that the public perception of Pit Bulls is that it’s a dangerous breed. Admittedly that perception wasn’t just grabbed out of the air. There are real valid reasons why people feel the way they do about the breed. A Google search for Pit Bull attacks reveals 844,000 pages including some video to reinforce fear of the breed. That in itself is alarming so let’s not fool ourselves that as loving as our pet may seem it can have the potential for improper response (to say it nicely).

While other breeds also have potential for ‘improper response’ it’s often the suddenness and fierceness of the Pit Bull attack that gets public and media attention (especially if someone is injured or killed). While it is believed they have locking jaws some dispute that is true but regardless when a dog bites down on something and doesn’t let go easily it may as well have locking jaws.

Since public perception is not favorable toward Pit Bulls what should an owner do? The answer remains the same as always. Owners should be a responsible owner. That means insuring a safe fenced in area. Walking with a leash when outside a confined area. Owners should properly train their Pit Bull to minimize aggressive or disobedient behavior. It also goes without saying visit the vet to make sure your pet has the rabies shot. When all of these precautions have been taken, there is nothing more that can be expected of a Pit Bull pet owner, bad perception or not.

Pitbull Nutrition – Proper Nutrition For a Healthy Pitbull

July 2nd, 2010 by admin


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Many pet owners tend to ignore the importance of pitbull nutrition. This should not be case since nutrition is not something that should be taken for granted, even if it is for your pets. Anyone who owns a pitbull or for that matter any pet should remember that nutrition is a science and it makes sense not to rely on pure instinct. In fact proper nutrition can help you save on the vet’s bills in the long run.

Pitbull nutrition is an important aspect, since their diet too can be as complex as that of human beings. As an owner it is therefore absolutely essential that you take care of all their essential nutrition needs. The diet for a pitbull should consist of all the essential nutrients, minerals and vitamins. Deficiency of certain nutrients can lead to various conditions such as brittle bone or general fatigue. A balanced diet, full of essential nutrients therefore should be your aim when it comes to feeding your pitbull. Remember, the right diet is your pitbull’s shield against disorders and diseases.

The pre-packaged food available for pets would cover most of the nutritional needs of your pitbull. Before you buy any such pet food make sure that you go through the ingredients in detail. This would give you a good idea about the various constituents of the pet food. You can base your purchase decision based on the nutritional value of particular pre-packaged pet foods.

Another important aspect that you need to take care of when it comes to pitbull nutrition is the taste. These dogs are known to like varied taste and you can therefore try mixing different types of foods. This way you can also ensure that the pitbull diet that you are providing is varied in texture, nutritional value and ingredients. Make sure that you include a serving of bone as part of their diet. This is because dogs are basically carnivores and therefore love chewing on a bone.

A substantial part of pitbull nutrition should consist of meat. This crucial component of the diet is what gives them the nutrients that are needed to grow. This apart, a pitbull would also need lots of fiber and carbohydrates which would aid in the process of digestion, along with giving them energy.

You can also experiment with some servings of vegetables, from time to time, when it comes to pitbull nutrition. There are some dogs which are known to love vegetarian food too. This would also mean a balanced diet, full of vitamins and minerals.

Basics of a Shih Tzu Dog Show

June 30th, 2010 by admin


Image : http://www.flickr.com

If you have never gone to a Shih Tzu or any breed dog show you might wonder exactly what the judge will be doing.

The judge will look into the mouth of the Shih Tzu or other dog breed to check for the correct number of teeth and the bite. I mean after all, do you ever see a winning Miss America with no front teeth? The same holds true for Shih Tzu and other dog breeds in the show ring. Missing teeth is a disqualification in many of the breeds.

He will also check a male to be sure he has two testicles. A missing testicle is a disqualification.

During this inspection the judge will feel various parts of the Shih Tzu or other breed of dog, searching out the angles of the shoulders and hips, the head and ribs. This is especially true with the heavily-coated breeds like the Shih Tzu. You can’t tell exactly what the structure of a heavily-coated Shih Tzu is without hands-on examinations. Some of the smaller breeds are examined on a raised table. If you see a handler lift the Shih Tzu or other dog breed from the table to the ground with one hand under the chin and the other hand using the tail, they do this to avoid messing up the Shih Tzu’s hairstyle. It is not uncomfortable for the dog at all.

The hands-on examination tells the judge a lot about the Shih Tzu or other dog breed, however, seeing the Shih Tzu move tells him even more. This is called “gaiting.” The judge will determine how the Shih Tzu move around the ring, whether it be all together or one at a time, up and down or around and around. There are a lot of variations in how the judge performs the gaiting. The judge wants to see the Shih Tzu move from the rear, from the front and from the side. The judge has an experienced eye and seeing different views of the Shih Tzu in motion reveals different things.

In the AKC and UKC rings, all Shih Tzu or dog breeds are shown at a trot. In England and some other countries dogs and the Shih Tzu are often walked around the ring. There are many different handler “styles” when gaiting a Shih Tzu show dog.

After examining and moving all the Shih Tzu, the judge might just point to the winners, or he might place the winning Shih Tzu at the front of the line and have them all go around the ring one more time before pointing to the winning Shih Tzu.

How does the judge make a decision? He considers how closely each Shih Tzu comes to its own breed standard. There are many, many aspects to the Shih Tzu breed standard in which the Shih Tzu must pass in order to win in the show ring.

When you first start going to shows try to consider them as an exploration of new activities. Think more about how you feel about the sport in general. Notate the sport’s good and bad aspects and not so much about your hopes to win once you get into the ring. The absolute best part about Shih Tzu dog shows is doing something with your Shih Tzu.

The Opiate Addiction Disease

June 30th, 2010 by admin


Image : http://www.flickr.com

Opiate addiction is a growing disease in the United States. Many people are unaware of just how quickly this extremely addictive drug (all forms of opiates) is taking over our country. Many people are also unaware that this addiction is a disease, but I will not touch on that in this article.

The people abusing this drug are becoming younger and younger, some being as young as eleven and twelve years old.

Opiates would include drugs such as percocets, oxycontin, dilaudin and heroin. This is just a few of the more popular forms opium.

As a former opiate addict I am well aware of this disease. I have been through it all. The ups, the downs, and a world of pain from withdrawal the many times I tried to quit.

Many opiate addicts start with pills such as percocets. It starts off as an innocent abuse of the drug “every once in a while”. Maybe there is someone at a party with a bunch of them and you buy a couple to have a good time…just for the night.

Then of course the other major way that people get addicted is when they have an accident that requires pain medication, yet once the pain stops the use of the drugs does not stop.

I will try to explain the effects of the drug as best as I can. The best word to describe the drug’s feeling is “floating in heaven”.

Your body feels numb and tingly. Your mind state is utter happiness, and it makes you very sociable.

A couple percocets with a couple beers a couple times a week quickly turns into a few percocets almost every day. And then comes other forms of opiates because percocets are not always accessible to most people and the withdrawal from this drug (any form of opiates) is complete hell.

Oxycontin is usually next, often being crushed down and snorted up the nose.

Then a couple beers later, and with no access to percocets, vicodins, roxicets, or oxycontins comes the devils drug – heroin. Maybe a “friend” will tell you that is no different than pill forms of opiates and it is cheaper – putting it right in front of your face. Judgment impaired, and fiening for any form of opiate – you will do the drug that “you will NEVER EVER touch” – heroin.

I know, I know…YOU would NEVER do heroin.

Get caught up in an opiate addiction, go with some withdrawal (even mild withdrawal) – and your chances of doing heroin go up more than I can explain. Especially if you know people who can access the drug.

I have seen the best of friends, multiple people, go through this cycle.

It doesn’t matter what the background is. Sport superstar from upper class. Top GPA in high school. Lower class, poor grades. Middle class, average student. It simple does not matter what kind of person it is or what their background is.

The opiates simply take over your brain and body. It’s like you almost have no control. I have seen those with the best of self control be plagued by the disease and continue to be plagued by the disease. Out of about 30 friends that I have seen go through the cycle of opiate addiction – I have seen 0 become totally clean. That’s right…besides myself I do not know one person that has successfully quit doing opiates once they got caught up in the addiction (and I have only been clean 3 months so there, of course, is a chance of a relapse).

America needs to wake up and teach our kids about this horribly dangerous and deadly addictive form of drug.

You or your kids could be the next person to try the drug that you “would never even think about trying”.

Trust me that it can sneak up on you like a snake in the grass. It’s like you have no idea how you got caught up in this whole mess until it is too late, and it has you grasped like the jaws of a pitbull. This disease is dead serious, and it is very important to spread the word to your kids and loved ones about the dangers of this drug.

It will quickly drag you down and ruin your life…I know first hand.

I explain my whole story of opiate addiction and also give all kinds of facts and information on pain killer addiction. I give signs on what to look for of someone addicted to the drug, withdrawal symptoms, and much much more.
