Carlos Puig suspended....

Mr. Dachshund out of comission? This is what I have heard.... Carlos is it true?

Puppies! Times 3!

Three litters! Dear lord, I never thought I would do that. I didn't want to this time, but we all know about oops! litters. Sugar was supposed to stay away from Dan this time around, but Darling Daughter decided that ALL the dogs needed to play together. Oh Dear.....

So everyone was in heat, then everyone was pregnant, now everyone has litters. Three to be exact. Ranging from 22 days to ten weeks. I have all longhair puppies, only one black & tan shorthair.

And to top it off, my computer no longer can read or store photos. How do you sell puppies without cute pictures? The only pictures I have are old, or puppies from these litters that have sold. But they are representitive of what I have, I suppose. I have all longhair puppies, only one black & tan shorthair. Mostly pet, the only one I will possibly sell full is the CH Shamrock's Daniel daughter in the last photo. I wish I had better, but she was evalutaed by Vicki Stone and her handler. "Very nice bitch puppy." I'm keeping her two brothers, I'm growing them out for show. Contact me for specifics, tell me about your program, then we'll see....

Time to start the garlic!

Flea season is upon us! As everyone with an animal knows, if you let the little buggers gain a foothold, it's disaster time! You will spend hundreds of dollars on sprays, maybe spot-ons, powders, internal preperations, hundreds of hours cleaning and spraying and fogging and dusting the yard. I can usually avoid it with some advance preperation.

There are concotions on the market, but I'm sort of cheap. I have to be, I have 7 dogs, right? I went to the vet for three heartworm tests (negative :) three boxes of Sentinel, and 1 three year Rabies shot...$340. I almost had a heart attack!

So, every morning when I mix thier breakfast....dry Royal Canin, a can of wet, usually chicken, crushed Companion or Solid Gold vitimins and water, I now add a scant shake of Garlic Powder. You don't want to give too much, that can cause Animia. So if you mix for one or two, I think put a shake in your hand and use half.

It's also time for adding Apple Cider Vinigar to the water besides the 35% food grade peroxide. Just a teaspoon to the water bowl will do it....with all these things you're going for the cumulative effect of your daily efforts. Anything at all, if given in excess in one sitting, can cause toxicity.

So between the Garlic and Vinagar and the other stuff you do, fleas (and mosquitos) don't stand a chance. Firt, fleas absolutely hate the taste of garlic, add the double whammy of altered Ph of the blood thanks to the Vinagar (which makes it stink to bloodsuckers), they are not sticking around for a meal. They may jump onto the neighbor's dog, a stray cat or anything else (including you....eat GARLIC!!), but they won't be on your dog. :)

This goes for horses too folks...give them a hand, doctor that water. Garlic for horses, I bet so, but I don't know how much. That's what search engines are for :)

I also dust my yard and kennels with Diatomacous earth. It's made from ground up Diatoms, ancient fossilized deposits are mined from the earth. It"s ground up shells, really, and you can imagine that's just like glass shards to a soft bodied insect. These shards pierce the body of the insect (fleas, ticks, earwigs, anything that crawls and has a soft body). After a couple days, the insect dies of dehydration. So after a rain, of course you may want to refresh it if you have a problem, because once the Diatoms get wety, they are no longer sharp.

Bio-WOW!!!

It seems like I was always tired. Exausted from running around after young children, dogs, puppies and trying to keep a house. That's not to mention the travel business that used to pay better, trying to build a kennel and attampting to build a store called NatureCare attached to my site.
A friend sent me a liquid vitamin that she promised me tasted great, and that once consumed I couldn't live without. So, being skeptical, I mixed it with Apple Juice because I was certain it would be bitter, sour, vitaminy, or otherwise as horrid as the Eniva Vibe I once had.
HOLY COW was that sweet! And was I wrong! The stuff was good, I mean really good. I never should have put it in juice, it was way too much. But I still got the effect. Within 20 minutes I had joined this company, because I knew I had to have this stuff! By joining, I get a 30% discount off the bat, and they give you A LOT of product, so why not? That, added with the knowledge that I knew about the pay from a lady I had known for years, and always got a check every month for at least $600 even when she ignored working the business, well I was convinced.
So what is it called? Biometics. It's like this well kept secret. The pay actually is great and the product is off the charts. Check it out!

The business of dogs......

What do you think of a breeder that owns a kennel, breeds a number of dogs, and makes their lively hood from this business? Do you feel it is gross generalization to just lump the professionals in the industry with those that broker, mill or careless BYB's who breed these "Designer" mutts? If you do feel that there is a stigma, explain why and tell me if you feel this is right or wrong.
