The Dos and Donts When Bringing Home a New Puppy
Do not go to get your new dog with a group of people. Too many people would only scare and confuse him. Take just one other person with you, so that one of you can drive and the other hold the puppy and quiet and comfort him. Take along a towel, for if it is his first car ride he may get sick.
You will soon learn that a puppy's first reaction to excitement is to relieve himself, so as soon as you arrive home, take him for a short walk and let him become familiar with his surroundings. Let him sniff around and explore, then pick him up and introduce him to his new home.
Let him explore at first, following him around, speaking to him by name in an affectionate, enthusiastic tone. Show him the way to the kitchen and lead him to his water bowl. You may give him food or a treat but he may be too excited to ear much, but the offer of food, drink, shelter, and love will reassure him.
The first day is not the time to start obedience training, but it is not too early to establish the restrictions you with him to respect in the future. If you do not want him to jump on chairs and sofas, make them out of bounds by removing him gently but firmly by saying "NO", when ever he jumps on them. Always follow thru by placing him in his bed or on the floors.
You may have more trouble controlling your friends and family than supervising your puppy. Everyone will want to play with him. He will love the attention, but too many masters at too early a time will only serve to confuse him. Puppies have a lot to learn, and they don't understand our language or rules, so by allowing others to enforce the rules may confuse him even more.
The proper way to introduce yourself to a dog is by holding the back of your hand in front of his nose to sniff. The back of the hand is non aggressive, and he is able to concentrate on your scent. Once the dog has sniffed, you may speak in a friendly tone, but let him make the first advance.
Do not give him little nervous pats or heavy-handed ones. Pat him on the shoulder rather than the head. Many dogs dislike head-stroking, but all of them like to be firmly stroked along the spine and scratched behind the ears. If your dog then rolls over on his back, allowing you to stroke his tummy, you can be sure that he has accepted you as his friend.
Adults as well as children may need to be taught how to pick up a puppy safely. Place one hand under his chest, and the other hand under his rump and lift. If he struggles or resists, put him down at once. Puppy bones are soft and fragile, and a fall can cause permanent damage. Never lift him by his ears, tail, or legs, which are painful and can cause injury or dislocations.
If you already have a dog, you should be extremely tactful when introducing the new pup, especially if they are both male. To be perfectly safe, keep them leashed for the first few hours, and feed them separately for the first few days. Afterward, you can feed them in the same room, but from separate bowls. Be sure to make a special fuss over the established dog, and do not alter his usual daily routine.
You should observe your puppy from the first day to learn his traits and mannerism's. Every one of his actions and reactions will give you a clue to his native temperament. Your puppy is a living creature with his own personality and mentality that you can help to form and develop. Dogs are highly impressionable and responsive.
Work on your puppy's vocabulary by talking to him. Just as you imprint certain rules and restrictions on your puppy's mind, you can give him basic commentary on everything you do together. Stress the key words you use like DINNER, or EAT, BED, or GO OUT, when you are teaching him to use the bathroom outside. Soon he will recognize the key words and their meanings, and most of all, he will learn that speech is a form of communication that is practical for him, and not just mindless sounds.
Your puppy's first night can be a miserable experience since he is used to sleeping in a cozy nest with his mother and littermates. You can substitute a hot-water bottle and a ticking clock wrapped in a towel to substitute his mother's presence and heartbeat. You can place his bed next to yours for the first few days, so that you can comfort him if necessary. If he cries or whines comfort him, then leave him alone. If you weaken and take him to bed with you, you may be creating a new problem that you will have to break.
To summarize, be gentle and understanding, but firm. Develop your rules early, but only after he has become accustomed to his new home. Handle him gently, and be patient when training. Observe and learn his traits and mannerisms, and talk to him often to teach him a vocabulary, as well as developing his intelligence. Dogs are very intelligent and impressionable, and what they learn, and how much they learn is in your hands.

The Sunbeam, a Glowing Snake
The Sunbeam Snake is a beautiful creature. It gets its name from the glowing look (incandescence) of their scales. They reflect the light in such a way that it look like they are a glowing prism. These snakes primarily come from Indonesia. They are mainly black in colour, with their belly being the opposite, a creamy-white. The Sunbeam Snake spends most of its time burrowed in the ground, where they are most happy. They have evolved to make this lifestyle easy, with their heads sharply pointed to dig through the earth easier. These snakes will eat anything they can; rodents, insects, other snakes and any other small animal. They are very quick eaters, so keep your fingers away from them when you are feeding them. Make sure to stun or kill the rodents before you feed them to your snake, as rodents are very dangerous. And never leave them alone when eating a rodent.
Sunbeam Snakes are not very common in North America. You rarely ever see them at pet stores, or reptile shows for that matter. They are imported from Indonesia. Wild caught Sunbeam Snakes do not normally live for very long, as they get stressed easily like their lizard cousins. Every once in a while you will see them at a show. If properly taken care of, the Sunbeam Snake can live for a very long time, and be a great Snake pet.
Keeping captive Sunbeam Snakes is very easy, if done properly. Like most snakes, and many lizards, they need to be left alone. They will stress easily if handled too much. They need a high humidity as well. They come from the wetland parts of Indonesia, so emulating this habitat will increase their durability. A good level of humidity for Sunbeam Snakes is between 85 to 100%. Sunbeam Snakes will also require a good depth of burrowing substrate. Damp soil, peat moss or other forest floor substrate works very well. You must keep it moist. You must also keep a heat gradient from 75 degrees F to around 89 degrees F. One more point; Sunbeams have a natural defense. They emit a very potent, and very bad, musty odour. Be careful not to get sprayed, as it lingers on you like a skunks spray.

Pet Health Insurance Policies
Recent advances in scientific research have supplied pet owners with the way to now save their darling family pets from wounds and diseases that would have caused the pet to be euthanized in the not so distant past.
The distressing news is that once the inconceivable occurs and a pet's life hangs in the balance most pet possessors discover that they're not able to afford the frequently astonishing cost of the treatments which may range from $3000-$10000 and some times even more, and are forced to euthanize their pets anyhow. It's in these cases that pet possessors wish they had the foresight to buy a pet health insurance policy. Pet health insurance is akin to human health insurance.
Owners who buy pet health insurance do so for a diversity of reasons. They may be fascinated by the thought that they'll be able to economise on their pet's yearly jaunt to the veterinary surgeon or they may simply be concerned that if a life-threatening health crisis arises they will not be capable of paying for the treatment. Pet owners may choose from an assortment of plans such as pet fatality/mortality insurance, major medical insurance, and basic medical insurance (insurance policy names might alter from company to company.) A lot of pet healthcare insurance companies offer a diversity of extra riders to complement the pet healthcare insurance scheme.
Mortality/fatality pet insurance is akin to human life insurance. The owner pays a premium each month the pet is alive, in the case of its demise the owner is reimbursed a preset sum of money. Although the mortality insurance policy doesn't take the hurt out of losing a loved household pet it could help with any extra medical bills that are accrued at the close of your pet's lifespan.
Basic medical health insurance generally covers veterinary surgeon expenses such as accidents, non-elective operations, hospital care, and sicknesses. One popular insurance firm extends a scheme that pays from cuts to cancer up to a thousand dollars; most pet owners employ this scheme for emergencies only. Pet possessors are advised to buy a pet healthcare insurance policy plan as early in their pet's life as practicable. Numerous insurance firms and vets call attention to the fact that most freak accidents occur in the earlier years of a pet's lifetime. Owners had better be mindful that most pet health insurance plans don't cover genetic dis-orders that arise in certain breeds and a few of the costlier surgeries. Most insurance plans likewise won't touch pre-existent conditions.
Horse owners might need to look at buying a loss of use insurance policy for their horses. A loss of use policy antes up if the horse is wounded so severely it's no longer fit to be ridden or bred, but isn't so seriously hurt to warrant euthanizing the beast.

3 Important Things To Remember When Training Your Puppy
There are as many ways to raise a puppy as there are to raising a child. In fact, one way per family in general! But most of us agree that when it comes to children, certain things are universal and undisputed. Here are three things that a lot of people just do not think of when it comes to raising their dogs, however. How many times have we heard, "My dog just won't listen to me", or "He just won't behave!"
1. Dogs do not understand English until we teach them.
The thing we all love about puppies the most is the way they live for us, the way they focus all they have on us, the way our lives become theirs. in the beginning, they study us to learn our body language, our facial expressions and our language. Until we teach them the English language, it's all they have. If we say, "Wanna go out?" one day, "Have to go potty?" the next day, and, "Hafta pee?" the third day, if they DO figure out what we want, it is because we have picked up the leash and moved toward the door with a happy face! If you want to speed up his training by three-fold, teach him YOUR language. Pick a command for EACH behavior and stick with it. Tell all in your family to use the same words and commands, and your puppy will amaze you at how much faster he learns.
2. A young puppy's metabolism is racing along faster than we think.
The younger your puppy is, the faster he is growing, the more food and water he needs to fuel his metabolism, and the more often he has to go potty. Do not punish your puppy when he makes a house-breaking mistake. These are YOUR fault. Your puppy's age in weeks and his breed size determine how often he must go out. Once an hour is not too often for a large 6-week old puppy, especially if it is summertime. Dogs love the exciting smells outdoors, so there is no excuse to not have him housebroken by 7-8 weeks of age. Right after a nap, after he eats and after grooming are the key times, and he will signal you. If he is happily chewing a toy and gets up suddenly with his nose to the floor, move quickly! And every time he goes potty outside, praise him to high heaven! "What a good BOYY!", "GOOD go potty!" and the like. Dogs love our happy faces, and they will do anything to get it.
3. Dogs live for our facial expressions and body language.
Because of this, the worst punishment you ever need to give your dog is a scowl and to turn away from him. You can see his tail fall down and his face get so sad. He will learn the lesson, I guarantee it. But his attention span is only 3-5 minutes, so do not scorn him any longer. Love him up and give him your happy face again. Physical punishment is never necessary. Use consistent commands and loving praise and he will know what you want of him before you know. He will become a master of your body language and facial expressions in no time at all.
Naturally there are many aspects of training your puppy well. Loving kindness works just as well for puppies as it does with children, creating a happy, well-adjusted and obedient dog for life. These three important tips, used consistently with confidence, will start him well on his way.

Rednose Pitbulls - They Mean Business
Nobody knows for sure where rednose pitbulls came from or what country for sure however there are records that clearly show the information we do know is that they came in large part from Ireland.
Red nose pitbulls are rare and extremely sought after because they are from something called the Old Family Red Nose strain and it is an exceptionally old strain. It is believed that the rednose pitbull was breaded only for the looks of them because of the striking red nose, of course, but also red eyes, red lips and generally red toe nails.
Rednose Pitbulls in North America
John Sullivan, a once famous boxer turned Boston police officer came to the USA to fight in a world heavyweight championship from Ireland. Once he was in the USA, he decided he'd like to stay and began to make roots. As he did this, he contacted his parents and had them ship his rednose pitbulls over from Ireland. This was the beginning of a business for John because years later, his expertise and general knowledge of the old family rednose pitbulls.
He is even found name and noted in pit bull history and if you are a lover of the rednose pitbulls already, his name is probably strikingly familiar to you. It was in these times that this 'old family dog' was introduced to North America and the strain is completely established in the United States now as well.
Pitbulls Fighting for Rights
The above being said, pitbulls can be a very nice pet to have as long as you teach them early not to be aggressive and the in all likelihood, if you are looking for a pitbull you know some things about their behavior patterns.
It would be wise to seek the advice of a professional perhaps where you buy the dog from to raise a well-mannered dog you can trust and not be afraid of however, keep in mind that these dogs have gone from never doing a thing wrong in the way of aggression to chewing up a three year old child who walked past the fence in their yard. Choose your pets carefully and remember two pitbulls fighting is more dangerous than one.
Despite myths you might hear, the rednose pitbulls are no more aggressive or less than any other type of pitbull, in fact they all have good and bad about them like anything in life.

It would be wise to seek the advice of a professional perhaps where you buy the dog from to raise a well-mannered dog you can trust and not be afraid of however, keep in mind that these dogs have gone from never doing a thing wrong in the way of aggression to chewing up a three year old child who walked past the fence in their yard. Choose your pets carefully and remember two pitbulls fighting is more dangerous than one.
Despite myths you might hear, the rednose pitbulls are no more aggressive or less than any other type of pitbull, in fact they all have good and bad about them like anything in life. However, because of so much cross breeding since those times, rednose pitbulls show up in different breeds of pitbulls all the time.

Mastiff Puppy And Dog Information
The Mastiff was bred to be a dog that participated in war. They are gentle giants but do not get them aroused. They make natural guard dogs and watch dogs and will protect the family with their life. Actually, just seeing a Mastiff will deter everyone but the dumbest crook. They do not need a great deal of exercise and can be lazy. Even though they do not tend to roam they should be controlled at all times in public. They can do well with other dogs if they have been extensively socialized when very young. They love older, considerate children. As a reminder, never leave a child unsupervised with a puppy or dog.
*Approximate Adult Size. The approximate adult size (two years old or older) of the Mastiff is 27 to 31 inches to the withers (highest point of the shoulder) and 150 to 190 pounds.
*Special Health Considerations. Most dog breeds have certain inherited health problems associated with that specific breed and the Mastiff is no exception. Be on the look out for Canine Hip Dysplasia (genetic based looseness in the hip joint that can lead to arthritis pain and lameness), eye disease and bloat (Gastric Dilation-Volvulus, the second leading killer of dogs, can kill within the hour, this space is too limited for a complete explanation but you should read up on this). Feeding more then once a day and avoiding exercise right after meals may help guard against bloat. This disease list is an informative guideline only. Other diseases may also be significant threats, please contact your veterinarian for a complete list.
She should visit the veterinarian several times in the first year for shots, boosters and check up. Then, as an adult, she should visit the veterinarian yearly for shots and check up. As she gets older, six years and on, she should visit the veterinarian twice a year for check ups and shots. Remember; avoid feeding your dog sweets.
*Grooming. The Mastiff has a short haired, smooth coat. She should be brushed regularly. Brushing will help her maintain a clean and healthy coat and help you keep a closer eye on her health and strengthen your emotional bond with her.
Her teeth should be brushed at least twice a week with toothpaste and toothbrush designed for dogs. Brushing removes the accumulation of plaque and tartar which can cause cavities (rarely) and periodontal disease. Dog periodontal disease can lead to pain, loss of teeth, bad breath and other serious disease.
Her toenails may need to be examined for growth and clipped regularly. The toenails of the rear feet grow slower than the toenails of the front feet. Generally a guillotine type trimmer is the best for this chore and competent instructions to accomplish this can be found on the net.
*Life Span. The Mastiff can live between 5 and 10 years with proper nutrition, medical care and excellent living conditions.
*History. The Mastiff comes from Great Britain where they were once used as hunting and war dogs. They have a history going back over 4000 years. They were first registered by the American Kennel Association in 1885.
