Dog Breeding Gestation and What Breeders Need to Know

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Gestation is the period when the young are developing in the motherâ€™s uterus, and ends at birth. The diagnosis of the mother as being pregnant may take 26-35 days after breeding, when the bitch is said to showâ€. The gestation period for all dogs is about nine weeks. Whether it is a Great Dane, or the tiny Chihuahua, the gestation period is the same. How long is a dog pregnant is the next question asked. Well, the gestation period for dogs is 60 - 63 days. Start counting from the first time you bred her (put her with the male when on heat). Normally the mother dog experiences heavy coat shedding (blowing her coatâ€) during the nursing period. When the birth starts she'll let you know, with changes in her behavior and sometimes a clear discharge. When it is time, she may need your help and travel to a vet if things do not go right. These days there is great info on the web to help novice breeders, nut be prepared for anything and hopefully all will go smoothly, and the mother dog will do everything for you. **End Summary** Topics: Dog Breeding Gestation]]> carrying puppies]]> dog breeding]]> dog breeding gestation]]> dog pregnancy]]> gestation]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Steve Evans recommends that for unmissable dog breeds articles and information you visit the web page for Non Shedding Dog Breeds right now!

The Dog Breeding Heat Cycle

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Assuming that you have what is often called a "pre-potent" sire or bitch (that is one that always producess puppies very similar to herself) you have a good chance of puppies which will have the traits you expect and want. If you are in that position with your bitch you will then be awaiting on her dog breeding heat cycle. Such animals must themselves have a "good linebred pedigree" and that in technical language is one that is inbred just so much that the animal is called - homozygous - for as many as possible of the characteristics that you/the breeder considers desirable. The first sign of a female (also called a Dam) coming "Into Season" is often a swelling of the vulva. This swelling can occur a week before bleeding, or the day before. Other signs of heat are behavioral changes, your Dam may start to hump other Dams, or pups or even your leg. She may also begin to lick her self a lot. Watch for this and mark your calendar. This will help, but not guarantee, you a good heads up for next time. Mark the first day of swelling as day 1. **End Summary** Topics: The Dog Breeding Heat Cycle]]> bitch on heat]]> gestation cycle]]> what is on heat]]> on heat]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Steve Evans recommends that for unmissable dog breeds articles and information you visit the web page for Dog Articles right now!

Selective Dog Breeding Aims and Background

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Selective dog breeding aims to progressively improve upon the features of a dog breed. It is the other side of the coin to some irresponsible breeders, who reportedly keep them in small cages for long periods without exercise, love, or human contact. No matter how experinced a dog owner is the excessively caged animal will always tend to develop undesirable behaviors and may bark excessively. He may even become destructive and unsociable. Selective dog breeding has been practised over millenia since early human development, and it has provided the huge range of dog breeds that exist today. It is thought that selective breeding was begun when humans came across an abandoned wolf cub and took it with them. As this wolf grew older it would become less fearful of humans and therefore be semi-tamed. Humans maintained a population of useful animals around their homes since pre-historic times . They intentionally fed useful dogs, while killing wild dogs, establishing the relationships between humans and specific types of dogs over thousands of years. That created the pedigree dog breeds which are well known today. It is important that al breeders breed selectively and choose their male and famail dogs for breeding carefully. **End Summary** Topics: Selective Dog Breeding]]> Dog Breeding]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Steve Evans recommends that for un-missable dog breeds articles and information you visit the web page for Non Shedding Dog Breeds right now!

Raising a Puppy from Conception to Weaning

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Getting a puppy is a long-time commitment and a lot of work. Yes, they are cute, rambunctious and adorable but they are a heavy commitment in time and money for at least the first 3 months of their lives, and less so until 6 months, with adult dogs not in many cases truly settling down until 3 years old. I recently heard that puppy raisers may participate in puppy raising clubs, which is a great idea. There is also a whole army of people who raise and train Guide Dog puppies, who must be highly dedicated and very selfless on the day that their prodigy leaves for life with his or her disabled owner. Puppy raising starting with the mating and up to the sale to the owner needs to be done with dedication and commitment. This cannot happen if the breeder takes a farming approach, and treats the bitch and the litter as if they were farm animal stock. In such cases decisions about welfare are made purely upon the economic benefit and this may cause suffering by the puppies. **End Summary** Topics: Raising a Puppy]]> puppy conception]]> puppy weaning]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Steve Evans recommends that for unmissable dog breeds articles and information you visit the web page for Dog Info Articles right now!

Making Money with Dog Breeding

Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Dog breeding is not going to make you a millionaire, in fact to make a comfortable living from it you would have to cut corners so much that the result is that the puppies suffer. There is no doubt that there is a lot of breeding going on, and there are over 120,000 Internet searches per day for dog breeders and related terms, but the best breeders are not doing it to make money with dog breeding. Canine breeding should be all about developing the breed. A really good dog breeder is not motivated by the idea of making money. Nor should breeders be doing it to conquer the show ring at top dog shows. Rather than being about competing and gaining that one great win or that one great winner, it should be about gradual careful breed improvement over time. In short - it is in the interest of all of us when it is about protecting a breed by genetic development. Dog breeding is not an easy task. **End Summary** Topics: Making Money with Dog Breeding]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Steve Evans recommends that for unmissable dog breeds articles and information you visit the web page for Dog Articles right now!

Catahoula Leopard Dog Size Hernando DeSoto and General Character

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

The Catahoula Leopard Dog/'s size ranges from 20-26/" and weighs between 50-90 lbs, with a few individuals larger. Most males average 60-70 lbs in lean working condition and are about 24/" tall. As a working dog, Catahoulas have been bred more for temperament and ability than for appearance. As a result, the physical characteristics of the Catahoula are somewhat varied. This breed has also been referred to as the /"Catahoula Cur/". The origins of the Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog came into existence through chance breeding and some planned breeding. The Indians in and around Louisiana used the Red Wolf, which then roamed Louisiana during this period, to locate game, much in the same manner as hunters use their dogs today. Hernando DeSoto, apparently (it is recorded) had traveled from Florida into Louisiana, bringing with him the /"War Dogs/" that had made the journey to the New World. The breeds that were referred to as War Dogs were the Greyhound and the Mastiff. Research has shown that the Mastiff type of dog that accompanied him was probably those known as the "Alano Mastiff" of Spain, which are now extinct. **End Summary** Topics: Catahoula Leopard Dog]]> Hernando DeSoto]]> Catahoula Leopard Dog Size]]> Catahoula]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Catahoula Leopard Dog is just one of the great dog breeds at the Dog Breeds Compendium web site.

Catahoula Leopard Dog Training and General Traits

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

The objective in training this dog is for the master of the dog to be just that. The owner must been seen by their dog as the pack leader. If the dog assumes that status it will lead to traouble!. It is a natural instinct for a dog to have an order in their pack. When we humans live with dogs, we become their pack. A dog when pack leader will see his owner as a subordinate and this can lead to times when he/she will communicate displeasure with growling and eventually biting, and also with this breed all other humans in contact with the dog must be higher up in the order than the dog. The dog owner and indeed all the co-habitees within the family must be the ones making the decisions, not the animals. That is the only way in which any relationship with a dog can be a complete success. This applies more strongly than for most breeds with this breed. Having said that though this breed is often called the King of the stock dog breeds, the most enduring dog with the longest stamina. **End Summary** Topics: Catahoula Leopard Dog]]> Catahoula Leopard]]> Leopard Dog Training]]> catahoula]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Catahoula Leopard Dog is just one of the great dog breeds at the Dog Breeds Compendium web site.

Catahoulas are Curs

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Curs are a type of dog. The name sounds rather derisory, but there is nothing substandard about these dogs. Catahoula Leopard Dogs, Curs and mixes are in danger of bing lost as their numbers dwindle and the throroughbreds become more popular. Currently our frined has one of these puppies. She is almost 8 months and weighs just over 50lbs. She is an absolute joy! Cur breeds were developed first and foremost for their performance, with their working instinct being the first factor a breeder would consider. A medium to medium-large sized, short coated dog, they are powerfully built, but yet fast and agile while trailing in rough terrain and swampy areas. It has been said that dogs left behind by the explorer's party were interbred by the local Indians with a semidomesticated Red Wolf. The "Red Wolf" theory, however, was mainly proposed on the incorrect assumption that the Native Americans were "too uncivilized" to have domesticated animals prior to the arrival of Europeans, leaving the Red Wolf as the only canine in the region with which the Spanish dogs could have mated, when in fact this is not true. Dogs are everyone/'s personal companions. **End Summary** Topics: Catahoulas]]> Curs]]> Catahoula dog breed]]> Catahoula]]> dog breed]]> ]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Catahoula Leopard Dog is just one of the great dog breeds at the Dog Breeds Compendium web site.

What is the Catahoula Dog Breed

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

This is one of the strangely named cur breeds. Cur breeds were developed first and foremost for their working aptitude and skills, with their working instinct being the first factor a breeder would consider. Dogs in the Herding Group (known also as the Pastoral Group ) include the Catahoula Leopard, were developed to perform a variety of tasks relating mainly to the herding of livestock. The types of livestock that these dogs are associated with are quite diverse and include cattle, sheep, reindeer and indeed just about all cloven footed animals. The Catahoula has a very short, smooth coat which comes in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Common Catahoula colors include blue leopard, red leopard, patchwork, black, red, yellow, and brindle. The Catahoula County properties displayed on this page are a small portion of the currently available commercial real estate for sale and lease on LoopNet.com. LoopNet is also a source for finding information on Catahoula County recent sales. The Catahoula is a dog that will take charge when it is necessary. It is naturally protective of what and whom it thinks it owns. Ears should be small and triangular, hanging low and well to the rear. **End Summary** Topics: What is the Catahoula]]> Catahoula Dog Breed]]> Catahoula]]> Dog Breed]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Catahoula Leopard Dog is just one of the great dog breeds at the Dog Breeds Compendium web site.

The Catahoulas Leopard Pattern is So Similar to the Leopard

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

A Catahoula with a light grey or tan coat will usually have spotting almost identical to that of the leopard. This according to Darwinian theory would have been caused by natural selection. In this theory was the result of natural selection in that it is particularly effective camouflage in low-light, overcast conditions. A good Catahoula or Cata-houla mix should have a short, single coat, medium drop ears, large round feet with thick pads and well defined toes, and have a muscular but athletic build. They should have have deep chests, an obvious tuck at the flank, and fairly long, straight legs. A Catahoula will often have eyes of two different colors. A Catahoula from working stock usually has the necessary inherent attributes to work regardless of any particular "specialty" of its sire or dam. While some Catahoulas do excel at a particular task, it should not be presumed that their offsprings' potential working ability is limited in scope. Sadly, according to an internet posting/we site a catahoula that is predominantly white, or a white faced dog with glass eyes, has an 80% chance of being bi-laterally deaf or unilaterally hearing. **End Summary** Topics: The Catahoulas Leopard Pattern]]> Leopard]]> catahoula dog]]> catahoula dog breed]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Catahoula Leopard Dog is just one of the great dog breeds at the Dog Breeds Compendium web site.

Is The Catahoula Leopard Dog Breed Aggressive or Just Wary of Strangers

Sat, 14 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

The Catahoula Leopard dog is an intelligent, energetic, hard working dog that has a long history in herding and hunting. Sometimes denounced as an aggressive dog, they are better described as aggressive workers, as they have a very strong work ethic and love to work, but it is also true that they are very wary of strangers. The Catahoula temperament is not well suited for everyone; these dogs are very protective of their territory and family, especially the males, but are kind and gentle toward other dogs when on neutral ground. It is these traits, combined with their independent nature, their high energy levels, and physical strength, can make a Catahoula become to much to handle for quite a few inexperienced or owners who lack confidence, or enough energy or strength to discipline these dogs adequately, and can make having such a dog a problem. This can be especially so for thoe who live in apartments and small spaces. Also the CLD does not do well when tied up to a runner or placed in a kennel. **End Summary** Topics: Catahoula]]> Catahoula Leopard Dog]]> Catahoula Leopard Dog Breed]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> The Catahoula Leopard Dog is just one of the great dog breeds at the Dog Breeds Compendium web site.

Anaerobic Digestion Use Rises in the United States

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Thanks to two pieces of recent legislation, 13 additional methane systems are now under construction in the US, and renewable-energy advocates are predicting that scores more are sure to follow. The Straus project is the first of 14 methane projects to receive matching funds from the California Energy Commission, one result of incentives following the rolling blackouts that plagued the state during the summer of 2001. With net metering, small producers like Straus can reduce or erase their energy bills but cannot be paid for pumping excess energy into the grid. Net metering has been available to owners of home solar systems for several years, but it can also be used for digester power delivered into the grid. For Anaerobic Digestion (biogas digestion) to really take off economically it is essential that the liquid and solid products - compost and liquid digestate fertilsier - can be marketed and sold. There has been recent success in this area as well. Garick has recently trademarked Moo Moss - made from the fibrous solids (digestate) processed in the Tillamook Bay Port's digester and then pressed from the liquid fraction after anaerobic digestion, stabile enough to be used directly in nursery potting mixes. **End Summary** Topics: Anaerobic Digestion Use]]> biogas digester plants]]> anaerobic digestion plants]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> There are two great sites at which you can find out more about this developing subject and those are the electricity from anaerobic digestion web site and the biogas digester web site.

Biogas Digester Development and Increasing Adoption

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. It is widely used to treat wastewater sludges and organic waste because it provides volume and mass reduction of the input material. As part of an integrated waste management system, anaerobic digestion can also reduce the emission of landfill gas into the atmosphere. Anaerobic digestion is a renewable energy source because the process produces a methane and carbon dioxide rich biogas suitable for energy production helping replace fossil fuels. Also, the nutrient-rich solids left after digestion can be used as fertiliser. Scientific interest in the gasses produced by the natural decomposition of organic matter goes back a long way. Biogas was first reported in the seventeenth century by Robert Boyle and Stephen Hale, who noted that flammable gas was released by disturbing the sediment of streams and lakes. In 1808, Sir Humphry Davy determined that methane was present in the gasses produced by cattle manure. It has been reported on the web that the first anaerobic digester was built by a leper colony in Bombay, India in 1859. **End Summary** Topics: Biogas Digester]]> biogas digestion]]> anaerobic digestion]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> There are two great sites at which you can find out more about this developing subject and those are the anaerobic treatment processes web site and the biogas digester web site.

Biogas and Issues Which Arise in Its Production

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Biogas production is achieved as the result of the controlled microbial breakdown of organic materials such as animal manures or food scraps in an anaerobic digester. An anaerobic digester is the name of the plant that makes the gas and is operated at a controlled temperature, pH and loading rate to encourage the growth of microorganisms that eat the organic matter and produce biogas and a more biologically stable liquid effluent. Biogas is a mixture of about 60-70% methane (natural gas), 30-40% carbon dioxide and other trace gases, such as hydrogen sulfide. The heat content of this gas is based on the amount of methane it contains and is about 600 BTUs per cubic foot. Anaerobic digesters produce biomethane along with electricity generation and saleable end product biosolids which allows animal production enterprises to become neighborhood and environment friendly, as well as producing another revenue flow for themselves. Running a biogas plant on a dairy farm works best for farms which hold at least 800 cows. Economically viable ystems for dairies under 800 cow level are possible, but need evaluation on a farm by farm basis to decide whther there will be adequate cost effectiveness. **End Summary** Topics: biogas production]]> biogas production issues]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> There are two great sites at which you can find out more about this developing subject and those are the electric power methane digester web page and the biogas digester web site.

The Importance of Biogas Digesters for All Our Futures

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

Biogas digesters hold a high level of importance for all our futures as the only way to turn the tide on global emissions from a huge range of waste organic materials. Society is blinded by the opportunities of solar energy, wave and wind power, but so far has failed to see that unless the rising quantities of argnic waste we produce are disposed of without decomposing to produce methane a huge problem remains. As a result of that failure a very large and growing greenhouse gas emission load will remain and we can never become truly sustainable, as things are now, and future generations are doomed. We are now using our natural gas (carbonaceous fuel) resources up at a huge rate. These were formed from the fossilized remains of plants and animals in a process that took millions of years. Such resources do not "grow back" in a time scale that is meaningful for humans. Natural gas is a fossil fuel that was created eons ago by the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials. It is often found in association with oil and coal. **End Summary** Topics: Biogas Digesters]]> anaerobic digesters]]> renewable AD energy]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> There are two great sites where you can find out more about this developing alternative energy source and those are the electricity from methane digester web page and the biogas digester web site.

US Anaerobic Digestion Capacity Increases Slowly

Mon, 09 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0400

There are two state programs designed to encourage farmers to install methane digesters, which capture methane gas that can be converted into electricity. In spite of these efforts, Minnesota farmers have been slow to adopt this technology. This hesitancy may be due in large part to the significant upfront costs and low electricity purchase rates offered by utilities. Technical limitations of biogas production may also be a factor. Studies have indicated that profitable biogas production in Minnesota using current digester technology may be limited to large dairy operations (at least 300 cows) that collect manure by scraping rather than flushing. Profitable methane production requires a significant amount of manure to be gernated on-farm, and cows have been shown to have greater gas production potential than swine or poultry (measured in ft.3/animal unit/day). A methane digester is reported to be the newest project at Green Meadow Farms. They produce methane and sell the methane gas to a company called North American Biofuels L.L.C. They take the gas and convert it to electricity. The manure will now be diverted into the digester before it goes into the treatment plant. **End Summary** Topics: US Anaerobic Digestion]]> US AD]]> US biogas]]> US biogas digestor]]> biomethane]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> There are two great sites at which you can find out more about this green technology and those are the electricity from methane digester web site and the anaerobic digester web site.

Genital Wart Treatment and the Remedies Available

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Treatment of genital warts can be frustrating. The average person may need several treatments to clear genital warts. None of the available treatments is a cure for HPV. The virus can remain in the skin after treatment. Because the virus can lie dormant in the cells, in some cases warts can return months or even years after treatment. In other cases warts never recur. The types of HPV linked to cervical cancer usually are not the types linked with genital warts. But a woman with genital warts, like any other sexually active woman, should have regular smears as advised by her health professional. Cervical smears are the best safeguard against cervical cancer. Cervical smears detect abnormal cells present on the surface of the cervix. Cancer almost always can be prevented through the early detection and treatment of abnormal cervical tissue. The treatment given for genital warts is invariably designed to reduce the spread of the warts in the infected person and to possible partners. The most arduous aspect of the process needs to be stressed because the warts have a tendency to reappear. **End Summary** Topics: What Genital Wart Treatment]]> Genital Wart Treatment]]> Genital Wart Remedies]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Steve Evans has created a new web site for wart sufferers.

How Are Genital Warts Treated

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Genital warts on the skin are usually seen and recognized. Your health care provider may put a liquid on the skin to make it easier to see the wart. More than 75 types of double-stranded HPV papovaviruses have been isolated thus far. Genital wart therapies can be administered by the patient or health provider. Providers can treat with a chemical called podophyllin, surgical removal or, in some cases, warts may be "frozen" and removed by a process called cryosurgery. Genital warts most often appear on the external genitals or near the anus of females and males. Genital warts can also appear inside the vagina and on the cervix, although this is less common.17 Because genital warts aren't always visible, they can be spread unknowingly. Be aware of the following before we talk about treatments. They are one of the most common infections that can be caught from sexual activity (sexually transmitted infections - STIs), and are caused by viruses called human papillomaviruses (HPV). More than 25% of sexually active young people have HPV infections, and more than 80% of sexually active women will have HPV at some stage in their lives. **End Summary** Topics: How Are Genital Warts Treated]]> treating warts]]> wart treatment]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> There is a new web site for wart sufferers, available now!

Vinegar Warts and Wart Treatment

Sun, 08 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500

Vinegar warts are warts which appear white when tested by applying vinegar. The term comes from the fact that doctors may use vinegar in which the main reactive agent is acetic acid to see whether bumps and imperfections in the genital area (male and female) are warts or not. The test is not well thought of, but it is understood that it may be used as a starting-point for diognosis, and is much improved if the suspected area is looked at by the Doctor using a strong magnifyer. The vinegar test is not reliable for detecting HPV-warts because it gives many false positive and also false negative results. This test is normally used in conjuction with magnification (colposcopy) to mark the cervical areas from where biopsy is taken. Usually the vinegar test when used is then combined with a standard Pap Test and the two are administered at the same time and the results compared. So, if the vinegar test yields an abnormal result, the person undergoes colposcopy (which as stated above, uses a high-powered magnification device to examination) to confirm the results. In the vast majority of cases though, warts are harmless skin growths caused by a virus. **End Summary** Topics: What are Vinegar Warts]]> vinegar wart]]> viegar warts]]> wart treatment]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> Wart sufferer?
