As a show breeder you look to keep the very best puppies that are a result of your breeding program. However, the fact is you just can't keep them all and sometimes you have to part with some very nice puppies. That is where we are at right now and have made the decision to downsize a bit. Thus we are offering two black female puppies available. I adore both these girls and they are so much fun. Gosh, if I found a home where they could go as a pair that would be great! But that isn't realistic

Oh, I am a lucky dog! ... The other day the nice folks at Spot Pet Toys were kind enough to send me, Gracie, Wolfie and Wiggy (the kitties) some of their Skinneeez toys for free to test out! ... Mum held them back from me and Gracie until we went to agility practice the other night. I ran my little sequence and what was my reward? The Skinneeez Duck, that goes quack, quack. Dog did I go nuts over that! Didn't even want to jump into Mum's arms after, I wouldn't let go of the thing, BOL! ... Mum

Molly is just the sweetest thing. Our Westie mix, Shadow, passed away this spring and our house was a little too empty for our liking. Molly has been a wonderful new addition. She is full of energy and loves to run around the backyard chasing her toys and getting cooled off by the hose. But she also loves long naps and cuddles. We can't wait to watch her grow! ...

Here is an interesting press release I received in regards to a relatively new pet toy. Would love to hear from anyone who has tried this toy! ... The Release: ... Dogs love to play with their toys, not the stuffing inside, so SPOT Pet Products showed their stuff by getting rid of the stuff(ing) to create unique and easily identifiable pet toys called Skinneeez. Reflecting the recent trend toward more floppy pet toys, Skinneeez have a more realistic appearance that is more attractive to dogs,

Mum and I are so proud of our Gracie Girl. She was amazing at agility practice this week. Sure wish we had some video ... but it's probably good we didn't jinx anything :) ... This week's practice was about handling. They had two 'rings' set up in the building. Hot as usual, since it doesn't have much air conditioning, but we don't care, we just want to run! ... The first course was a toughie; jump, straight to a short chute, and then straight into the weaves, three more jumps with lots of off

Not too long after we moved to the cabin, the nice folks at the Company of Animals sent us, for free, two of the new plastic Nina Ottosson toys to try out! ... Well, you know how much we just love the Nina toys, so we were anxious to 'get busy'. Mum finally got us enjoying them on tape out on our porch this weekend, so wanted to share with you ... The first one in the video is me working the new Nina Ottosson Plastic Dog Casino. Since we already had tried out the wooden version, I knew pretty

woo! ... Apparently, a lot of human, including my Human, are all worked up about the Big XII Conference disintegrating. Or something. My Human spent her late teen and early 20's locked up in an institution of high learning in Missouri called Mizzou. (Please note that the humans pronounce the word XII as 12.) ... I don't know what’s going on anymore than any humans do. But from what I understand, some universities got mad at some other universities. They took all their toys home and tried to

Protective Aggression In Dogs

Published June 23, 2010 at 6:57 p.m.

Recently, I was asked about a dog who started nipping at people who enter its home.  With a new baby in the house, the owners assumed the little watch dog is 'protecting' the new member of the family.  I'm afraid this is not the case.  Protective aggression is a a manifestation of fear-based aggression.  In the above scenario, the addition of a human infant has brought many, many changes to the dog's life.  First, the normal routine of sleeping all night, eating and walking at regular
