Miniature Schnauzers can be described in many different ways by those who don't really understand the breed- but to those of us who share our lives with the breed, we can tell you that what you're going to read in one of those generalized 'get to know the breed' books will not even begin to sum up living with a Miniature Schnauzer.
I've shared my home with many different breeds over the years, and not one of them compares to living with a Miniature Schnauzer. Keep in mind that I said "I've shared my home"- that's because when you live with a Schnauzer, everything becomes theirs as well, and they allow you to share the home.
They tend to take over everything, and they are boss, plain and simple. Few things aren't owned by a Schnauzer such as cars, credit cards, shoes, and they don't have Fisher Investments for you to help keep track of either. If you have other dogs that aren't Schnauzers, they must obey the Schnauzer as well. Portraits of Dogs as They Shake Off Water.

The Irish Wolfhound (Irish: Cú Faoil, Irish pronunciation: [ˈkuː ˈfˠiːlʲ]) is a breed of domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), specifically a sighthound. The name originates from its purpose (wolf hunting with dogs) rather than from its appearance. The breed was originally developed from war hounds to one used for hunting and guarding. Irish Wolfhounds can be an imposing sight due to their formidable size; they are the tallest of all dog breeds.[1] Appearance[edit] Irish wolfhound The standard of The American Kennel Club describes the breed as "Of great size and commanding appearance, the Irish Wolfhound is remarkable in combining power and swiftness with keen sight.
The largest and tallest of the galloping hounds, in general type he is a rough-coated, Greyhound-like breed; very muscular, strong though gracefully built; movements easy and active; head and neck carried high, the tail carried with an upward sweep with a slight curve towards the extremity".[1] Temperament[edit] Health[edit] Www.wolf-to-wolfdog.org/chapter9.pdf.
Wolf hybrids kill mini horse. Riverside County Animal Services officials are searching for one of two wolf-dog hybrids that killed and ate part of a miniature stallion in his corral at the Bar H Ranch near Lake Mathews on Thursday. The two wolf-dogs were shot by a ranch hand about an hour after the attack, but one was able to escape, and animal officials have set a cage trap to capture it. A third wolf-dog hybrid also was seen in the area Friday. All three appeared to have collars that lacked license tags. It was unclear whether they got out from their yard or were dumped near Lake Mathews, a rural area south of Riverside. Ranch owner Chris Herron said he had just brought the 6-year-old horse, named Bojangles, home from Oklahoma. "The poor little thing was chewed to death. Lynne Glazer, an animal photographer, was also present when the attack was discovered. The ranch hand shot the lounging dog to death and wounded the second.
Wolf-dog hybrids are dogs that have been bred with wolves or wolf mixes. German_shepherd_puppy-13073.jpg 382×576 pixels. Wolfdog FAQ #28, What do I need to know before getting a wolfdog puppy? You'll want to do a lot of reading up on wolfdogs, study wolf and dog behaviour, and talk to other "owners". Then, ask yourself several questions: * Why do I want a wolfdog, as opposed to a similar breed such as a husky or malamute? What would I be gaining, besides the ability to brag that "he's part wolf"? The novelty of that will wear off, and you'll want to be sure that when it does, there are enough things you love about these animals to take its place. * How much wolf content is best for me?
You might be thinking "the more wolf, the better! * What is your home situation? * How secure is your fencing? * What do you plan on doing with your new companion? * How about YOU--your physical strength, and your strength of character? * Do I know how to tell if the animal is really 94% wolf, like the breeder says? * Do I know what I'm getting myself into? ~They are highly destructive... we're not talking sneakers and the kids' action figures, we're talking upholstery and woodwork.

Photo credit: Cincinnati Zoo Dear Guardian, Thousands of people lit up the lines last Friday to the White House, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and New Mexico’s Congressional delegation to save the Fox Mountain Mexican mother wolf from execution. But her new fate is now arguably worse: she will be captured and taken from the wild and away from her mate and her pups and she will be incarcerated – all because of purported livestock conflicts, even when the livestock owner was compensated for his losses.
Please call the White House, New Mexico Senators Udall and Bingaman, and New Mexico Congressional Representatives Luján and Heinrich now to keep the Fox Mountain mother wolf in the wild, and demand that cattle be restricted from the pack’s den area.

Welcome to RoverRescue.org! For the Love of a Dog: Understanding Emotion in You and Your Best Friend: Patricia B. McConnell. Canine Intelligence—Breed Does Matter. Just as everyone wants to have smart kids, most people want to own clever dogs. However whether a dog is "smart" or "dumb" depends upon the specific aspects of its behavior we consider. For example, was Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein intelligent?
Obviously, to derive the theory of relativity required a mathematical genius. Yet Einstein was so bad at simple arithmetic that his checkbook was always out of balance. Intelligence has a variety of different dimensions. In human beings we might subdivide intelligence into verbal ability, numerical ability, logical reasoning, memory , and so forth. Different breeds obviously have different types of instinctive intelligence. The second dimension of dog intelligence is . When most people think of dog intelligence they often think of the dog working his way through complex obedience exercises in an obedience ring or on a stage. It should be possible to actually rank dog breeds in terms of their working and obedience intelligence. How To Speak Dog: Mastering the Art of Dog-Human Communication (9780743202978): Stanley Coren.

Understanding a Dog's Senses A big part of understanding your dog is understanding its senses and accepting that they are indeed different than humans.
Both humans and dogs have the same three senses: sight, hearing and smelling, however while most humans communicate by hearing, seeing, and then smelling, dogs primarily communicate by smelling, seeing and lastly hearing. Dogs also have a universal sense which humans do not have, where they can feel the energy (emotions) of the other beings around them. The statistics below will vary slightly with different types of breeds, for example a sight hound may have slightly better vision and a coonhound type of dog may have a slightly better sense of smell than other types. Let’s take a look at each of a dog’s senses. The Nose A dog interprets the world predominantly by smell, whereas a human interprets it by sight. When dogs smell something they are not just registering a smell, they get an entire story. A dog can both sniff and breathe. The Eyes. Cocker Spaniel Ear Cleaner Recipe - Ear Infections.
One of the most common Cocker Spaniel health issues is ear infections. Because of the way the Cocker's ear hangs down over the ear canal, and because of the long hair on the ear, there isn't much ventilation in to the ear canal. Things get warm and moist in there, and those are ideal conditions for infections to get started. Lift up the ear and look inside the ear canal. If the skin has a red tint to it, or if you smell a cheesy smell, or if you see any kind of discharge... you've probably got an ear infection in there. Ear infections can be very frustrating to treat! Veterinarians typically respond to ear infections by prescribing drops or ointments to fight the infection. My personal experience has been (and others from around the world have written to share similar stories) that these treatments are not only expensive, but have a low success rate. So, if your veterinarian's treatment plan hasn't been working for you, try the following recipe.
"What a life saver on the bank account. Why did my dog do that when he knows it's bad? But does your dog really know it's bad? Why did my dog do that when he knows it's bad? (But does your dog really know it's bad?) Dogs are not mechanical creatures, nor are they humans. Their brains do not work in the same way that a human’s does. They lack human reasoning and some of our more complicated human emotions, but these are replaced with their own unique abilities that we would not trade for the world. That is what makes animals so special; they differ from humans. If you had a snake as a pet, you would more likely see the snake as the animal it is and try and give it what it instinctually needs, for example, a hut to hide under. Dogs do not reason, they react. Dogs, and animals in general, have a universal language. Dogs are pack creatures. Here is an example: if your dog chews something up and in the past you have yelled or corrected him after it was chewed, let’s say the trash, your dog now thinks it is bad for that trash to be on the floor.
Tip: Don't use your dog’s name when correcting him. Dog Tip: Socializing Adult Dogs and the Importance of Maintaining Socialization. * Introduction * Article: Socialization: It Isn't Just for Puppies by Daniel Estep, Ph.D. and Suzanne Hetts, Ph.D. * Article: Dog-Friendly Dog Training - Socialization Techniques by Andrea Arden * More information about socializing puppies and dogs of all ages In a perfect world, we could protect our dogs from negative, anxious and frightening situations. In the real world, we must help our dogs learn how to cope and respond, in a healthy and acceptable manner, to the spectrum of people, animals, places and things they might encounter along the road of life. By exposing our dogs to different kinds of people, animals and environments, which involves everything from dog obedience classes to vet visits to walks to the park, we can help them develop confidence and ease.
This goes a long way in helping them become resilient in the face of unsettling situations. So often, the way a dog responds to environmental stimuli is a product of owner training and management, or lack thereof. German Shepherd Dog Information and Pictures, German Shepherd Dogs.
