As we neared and I prepared to let them have a sniff, the neighbor said, "Don't come too close, he's impossible with other dogs and very unfriendly toward people." I said to myself, "This is a Siberian Husky? What's the story?" Well, the story is, she bought the dog in a pet store. Living proof that among the many good reasons not too buy a puppy that way is the failure to properly socialize pups in that critical period before weaning. Here's a good look at the evils of puppy mills, from which too many pet store pups come. http://canines.com/library/aboutanimals/puppylove.shtml Fetch Link 22222222222222222222222222222222222222 The Straight Poop about DOG HEALTH Here's an article that every dog breeder should study, and for you non-dog breeders, it will open your eyes as to how important it is to go to a knowledgeable, informed and caretaking breeder to get that creature who will be such an important part of your life. "How to Select Against Genetic Disease with Knowledge, Not Hope", from "The Racing Siberian Husky Online" at the WorkingDogWeb.com web site. http://www.workingdogweb.com/RSH-2001-1.htm Fetch Link 33333333333333333333333333333333333333 The Straight Poop about DOG NUTRITION This section has appeared in "The Straight Poop" for nearly two years. We've explored how to read a pet food label, what the ingredients consist of, what terms like "by-products" and "meal" mean, looked at BARF vs. human food vs. commercial pet foods; we've visited pet food manufacturer web sites, looked at recipes, and more. Together we've become experts at what to feed and what not to feed our best friends. Right? Well, not quite. Unfortunately, there are no complete, perfect answers. But I've come to a conclusion and made a commitment. HealthyPetNet dog food has "the right stuff" to qualify as a world class, super-premium, highest-possible-quality product, fit to give to my Katie (who loves it, by the way) and to your best friend as well. I've agreed to accept HealthyPetNet as a sponsor of The Straight Poop and become a field representative for their products. I'll tell you more about HealthyPetNet in the weeks to come. But please take a look at what they have to offer. I think you'll like it. http://www.straight-poop.com/healthypetnet.html Fetch Link 4444444444444444444444444444444444444444 The Straight Poop about DOG TRAINING and ACTIVITIES I was a Cub Scout, Boy Scout and Sea Scout. Now, by golly, Katie can be a Dog Scout! Dog Scouts of America (DSA) is a non-profit organization of people who are dedicated to enriching their lives and the lives of others with dogs. A rich web site devoted to all kinds of dog activities in a very fun kind of way. I think you'll like this one. Take a look. http://www.dogscouts.com/activities.shtml Fetch Link _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The Straight Poop recommends Kuranda dog beds. Kuranda makes a healthy, supportive and virtually chew proof dog bed and it's patented. It can be used indoors or out. This is the preferred dog bed for veterinarians and professional kennels worldwide, and now they offer a healthy, supportive dog bed for home use plus dog bed mattress pads as well.
