A Word From Frank:

We've come a long, long way from the time when friendly wolves would hang out near prehistoric camp sites, hoping for some scraps of food left over from the human meal. Now their offspring sit under our kitchen tables, still hoping for some scraps of food left over from our human meals. Everything changes and nothing changes.
Frank Fleischer
Enough philosophy, anthropology, whatever you want to call it. We've got an interesting issue this time, with a wonderful collection of photos, some info on the basics of what we feed our best friends, a great dog training resource, Marmaduke and more. Enjoy!

See you next time. Wishing you a warm puppy 'til then.
Frank

Dog Health & Nutrition: Building Blocks of Canine Fitness

http://www.canismajor.com/dog/nutrit2.html

From Dog Owner's Guide, this article tells us all we should know about Nutrients: The building blocks of canine fitness, covering protein, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, preservatives, and, perhaps most important, how to choose.
Dog Activities and Training: Dr. P's Dog Training

http://www.uwsp.edu/psych/dog/dog.htm

If it's about dog training and it's on the web, you'll find it at Dr. P's. For example, all you new dog owners can click on the link titles "Puppies" where you'll get links to all kinds of useful articles on general puppy training issues, housetraining, socialization, chewing & biting and more. Outstanding resource.
 
Patented, Chewproof Kuranda Dog Beds.

What our customers say: "Having recently ordered and received 8 Kuranda beds for our small 8-run rescue I and the rest of the volunteers are amazed at how they have changed the dogs' dispositions. All they want to do is lie around! No more dog fights, just a bunch of lazy dogs hanging out on their beds. At feeding time one of the dogs hangs her head over the side of the bed to eat her food! I was a doubting Thomas for awhile but your beds are the best thing to happen to our kennel." Jane Galvin, Big Canoe Animal Rescue
