Dogs’ Sexual Behaviour

default Dogs Sexual Behaviour

www.cafepress.com In domestic dogs, sexual maturity (puberty) begins to happen around age 6 to 12 months for both males and females, although this can be delayed until up to two years old for some large breeds. Adolescence for most domestic dogs is around 12 to 15 months, beyond which they are for the most part more adult than puppy. As with other domesticated species, domestication has selectively bred for higher libido and earlier and more frequent breeding cycles in dogs, than in their wild ancestors. Dogs remain reproductively active until old age. An Australian Shepherd Puppy Red MerleMost female dogs have their first estrous cycle between 6 and 12 months, although some larger breeds delay until as late as 2 years. Females experience estrous cycles biannually, during which her body prepares for pregnancy, and at the peak she will come into estrus, during which time she will be mentally and physically receptive to copulation. Dogs bear their litters roughly 56 to 72 days after fertilization, although the length of gestation can vary. An average litter consists of about six puppies, though this number may vary widely based on the breed of dog. Toy dogs generally produce from one to four puppies in each litter, while much larger breeds may average as many as 12 pups in each litter.

Can Dogs Smell Cancer?

Can Dogs Smell Cancer?










THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (PRWEB) January 9, 2006

In a society where lung and breast cancers are leading causes of cancer death worldwide, early detection of the disease is highly desirable. In a new scientific study, researchers present astonishing new evidence that man’s best friend, the dog, may have the capacity to contribute to the process of early cancer detection.

In this study which will be published in the March 2006 issue of the journal Integrative Cancer Therapies published by SAGE Publications, researchers reveal scientific evidence that a dog’s extraordinary scenting ability can distinguish people with both early and late stage lung and breast cancers from healthy controls. The research, which was performed in California, was recently documented by the BBC in the United Kingdom, and is soon to be aired in the United States.

Other scientific studies have documented the abilities of dogs to identify chemicals that are diluted as low as parts per trillion. The clinical implications of canine olfaction first came to light in the case report of a dog alerting its owner to the presence of a melanoma by constantly sniffing the skin lesion. Subsequent studies published in major medical journals confirmed the ability of trained dogs to detect both melanomas and bladder cancers. The new study, led by Michael McCulloch of the Pine Street Foundation in San Anselmo, California, and Tadeusz Jezierski of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Institute of Genetics and Animal Breeding, is the first to test whether dogs can detect cancers only by sniffing the exhaled breath of cancer patients.

In this study, five household dogs were trained within a short 3-week period to detect lung or breast cancer by sniffing the breath of cancer participants. The trial itself was comprised of 86 cancer patients (55 with lung cancer and 31 with breast cancer) and a control sample of 83 healthy patients. All cancer patients had recently been diagnosed with cancer through biopsy-confirmed conventional methods such as a mammogram, or CAT scan and had not yet undergone any chemotherapy treatment. During the study, the dogs were presented with breath samples from the cancer patients and the controls, captured in a special tube. Dogs were trained to give a positive identification of a cancer patient by sitting or lying down directly in front of a test station containing a cancer patient sample, while ignoring control samples. Standard, humane methods of dog training employing food rewards and a clicker, as well as assessment of the dog’s behavior by observers blinded to the identity of the cancer patient and control samples, were used in the experiment.

The results of the study showed that dogs can detect breast and lung cancer with sensitivity and specificity between 88% and 97%. The high accuracy persisted even after results were adjusted to take into account whether the lung cancer patients were currently smokers. Moreover, the study also confirmed that the trained dogs could even detect the early stages of lung cancer, as well as early breast cancer. The researchers concluded that breath analysis has the potential to provide a substantial reduction in the uncertainty currently seen in cancer diagnosis, once further work has been carried out to standardize and expand this methodology.

This study was supported by the MACH Foundation (Fairfax, CA), Guide Dogs for the Blind (San Rafael, CA) and Frank and Carol Rosemayr (Kentfield, CA).

AB Dogs Info Builds an Online Resource for Pets

AB Dogs Info Builds an Online Resource for Pets











Spruce Grove, Alberta (PRWEB) October 4, 2008

When it came time for dog lover Audrey Beale to build her website, she ran through different ideas, but found that ultimately, she wanted to work on something that was close to her heart.

“I wanted to work on a site about pets because I have a passion for them,” said Beale. “I wanted to be able to provide a one-stop website where people could find information about their pets.”

Starting with canines, Beale established http://www.ABDogsInfo.com in January 2008 with a wealth of information. From that, Beale has continuously added more information about dogs and she has plans to add other animals to her site.

“I’ll be adding information about cats and parrots,” said Beale. “I want to do enough research and I want to make sure that I’m correct with any information I put up on the site.”

Through Kingdom of Pets, Beale’s site has links to high quality, affordable products for cats and dogs that range from training videos to food to clothes.

In addition to adding more information about new animals, as well as dogs, Beale has built a companion blog (http://www.ABDogsInfoBlog.com) to accompany the resources and links that are currently on ABDogsInfo.com. She has also built the blog to be an open dialogue with other pet owners:

“Right now on the blog, I’ve been concentrating on posting information about dog training. I want to put information about specific pets – such as Dobermans and Chihuahuas.

“On the blog, if anyone wants information about certain pets, they can leave comments and I’ll do my best to answer their questions,” continued Beale.

What Audrey Beale has done is craft a very well-rounded resource for pets and pet owners with ABDogsInfo.com. As the site continues to grow, AB Dogs Info will surely become one of the most important sites and resources on the internet.

About the Company:

ABDogsInfo.com is owned and operated by Audrey Beale. The website contains resources for pet products, as well as imperative information about dogs and other pets. Beale has recently launched a corresponding blog.

Torrance, CA (PRWEB) February 12, 2010

i Love Dogs, the leader in premium canine supplements and creators of the world’s most exclusive dog collars, is ready to take Manhattan at this year’s Westminster Dog Show.

The Westminster Dog Show is the Super Bowl for dog lovers and every year when it hits town, New York gets overtaken by the canine kind and the humans who love them. This year, Westminster week kicks off with the BarkBar Invitational Vendor Expo, SkyBark Red Carpet Kickoff Party and Golden Paw Awards Charity Event in conjunction with the Westminster Kennel Club 134th Annual Dog Show.

The Fashion Show and Golden Paw Awards, hosted by PETaPOTTY and presented in part by Swiffer, takes place on February 12 at the world-famous Hotel Pennsylvania, the Westminster Dog Show’s official hotel. The event will feature silent and live auctions with all proceeds benefitting the North Shore Animal League of America, which will also receive the SkyBark’s “2010 Animal Shelter of The Year” award.

Model and NSALA spokeswoman Beth Ostrosky Stern will accept the award on the rescue’s behalf and also serve as one of the runway walkers for the Fashion Show. Beth represents the organization in print and broadcast interviews, advertising and in public service announcements.

Beth and her runway partner, an adorable adoptable dog from NSALA, will model i Love Dogs Diamonds’ Amour, Amour diamond collar. Dubbed “the Bugatti of dog collars” by Forbes Senior Editor Matt Miller, the 52-carat collar is worth $ 3.2 million and features more than 1,600 hand-set diamonds and a 7-carat, D-IF, brilliant-shaped centerpiece.

Gregg Oehler, a 30-year publishing executive and pet industry insider, will also strut down the catwalk (dogwalk?) with one of NSALA’s adoptable dogs modeling La Jeune Tulipe from i Love Dogs Diamonds’ line of collars.

“La Jeune Tulipe is an intricate arrangement of marquise-, pear-, and brilliant-shaped diamonds, as well as the 1.52-carat marquise-cut diamond that blooms as the focal point of the extraordinary collar, makes the $ 150,000, 15.6-carat La Jeune Tulipe one of the crown jewels of the canine kingdom,” said Martha Smith, the General Manager of i Love Dogs. “We’re thrilled to be showing our exclusive diamond dog collars at the Pre-Westminster Fashion Show and Golden Paw Awards. As a token of our deep appreciation for the North Shore Animal League of America’s great work, we will be honored to donate a portion of the proceeds to this very special organization from any sale of La Jeune Tulipe or Amour, Amour arising from the Fashion Show, print and TV appearances.”

The world-famous cigar-smoking talking Italian greyhound is at it again. This time, Vicelli must come face to face with evil as he wakes up in Washington, DC to find it’s not politics as usual. While the newly elected Dogacrats are working on their tasks inside the Doghouse in DC, Dr. Senrab is performing his experiments and cloning to try and get the perfect species of a race to control. He determinedly maneuvers to clone important government officials to eventually control the world. Vicelli never leaves home without his cigar, but could that one puff on his cigar alter his life and stop the madman?

Parading an assemblage of interesting characters playing along unpredictable twists, Vicelli Goes To Washington: The Great Fopaw follows the adventures of Dino Vicelli as he takes on a mission filled with intrigue and espionage. This witty tale set in a fictional world will entertain and thrill readers as they join him in his breathtaking race against time.

New Natural Remedies for Dogs Will Ease Vacation Travel ? Products from Dynamite

New Natural Remedies for Dogs Will Ease Vacation Travel — Products from Dynamite











Callie Novak watches as her dog devours a bowl of Ultimate Dog Food.


Meridian, ID (PRWEB) May 14, 2011

A new all-natural, topical first aid kit for canines is proving popular for vacations with dogs, says Callie Novak, CEO of Dynamite Specialty Products. The first aid kit, along with all-natural, raw dog food that needs no refrigeration, will makes travel less stressful.

The Topical First Aid Kit from Dynamite contains all-natural remedies and is an excellent adjunct to a traditional first aid kit for both dogs and their human companions. It has eight different products, including Trace Minerals Concentrate to stop bleeding; Would Balm, an all-natural topical salve for bruises, strains, burns and wounds; and Wound Wash, a proprietary blend of food-grade fatty acids, organic lavender essential oil and other ingredients that cleans wounds without stinging.

The first aid kit initially was released several years ago. In the new version Miracle Clay, which relieves pain from insect bites, is premixed and comes in a tube. Other ingredients also have been repackaged for easier use during vacations with dogs, Novak said.

Labels and instructions have been redesigned and rewritten to incorporate answers to customer questions, and the container is now a smaller, soft-sided zippered bag.

Dynamite also now offers a program under which it will ship 12.5-pound boxes of Ultimate Dog Food, the raw dog food that needs no refrigeration, at regular intervals. This means that fresh food is always available, whether it is shipped to a home or to a vacation destination.

No matter how eager your dog is to jump in the car, Novak cautioned, summer vacation travel can be as stressful for dogs as for humans. Some simple natural dog remedies can make life easier.

Why the stress? The same reason that travel can be stressful to humans, even when it’s for pleasure. There are hours of limited exercise while confined in a car or on an airplane. Pets often are confined to crates. There are changes in diet and routine. All take their toll on energy levels and mental and physical health.

Dogs, more so than humans, may stop eating under stress. Anxiety produces the “fight or flight” reaction in dogs, and their digestive systems often shut down as their bodies anticipate the need to either fight back or run away. When dogs are confined, they do not get the chance to burn off the adrenaline and bring their bodies back into balance by running around, thus creating a vicious cycle.

“A good dog probiotic supports natural gut bacteria and helps keep a dog’s digestive system working properly. A daily dose of a dog probiotic is recommended at all times, and it is even more important during travel,” Novak said. Dynamite makes Dyna-Pro dog probiotic, as well as Showdown, a combination of nutrients to support overall health.

Other products useful for summer vacations with dogs also are available from Dynamite, which makes natural dog food and nutritional supplements for canines and most other members of the animal kingdom.

Dogs, too, can suffer from summer sun. An application of Dyna Shield, a naturally formulated and chemical-free spray will provide sun protection, while conditioning the coat and soothing insect bites.

Dogs that exercise heavily need an electrolyte boost just as humans do. Dyna-Spark will help restore the electrolyte balance in dogs that have been exercising on hot, summer days. The supplement is rich in B-complex vitamins, Vitamin C, iron and electrolytes and contains no stimulants or additives. It also supports health in dogs suffering anxiety, sickness or injury.

Hiscorbadyne is a a nutrient that blends flavonoids, a type of antioxidant, and related compounds. It helps with oxidative stress on cells. It has been linked to many other health benefits, including capillary support, increased circulation, and support for animals with allergies or weakened immune systems.

Relax, as the name implies, is a homeopathic and flower essence blend that helps dogs relax if they are fearful of new situations during travel. It is especially useful during Fourth of July fireworks. Spray it into the dog’s mouth. It is entirely drug-free.

Tranquil is an all-natural herbal/homeopathic formula that works like a tranquilizer to create a feeling of calmness.

Finally, if your car starts to smell like your dog, pull out Dynamite’s All-Natural Deodorizer. Instead of using chemicals to mask odors, this deodorizer disintegrates the odor molecules. It contains no toxic chemicals or gases or environmental pollutants.

A family-owned business that has specialized in animal nutrition for four generations, Dynamite Specialty Products makes products for virtually every member of the animal kingdom. It has long developed food and nutritional supplements for prize-winning racehorses and show dogs across the country. Its specialists in dog nutrition and animal nutrition can recommend exactly what vitamins, minerals and other supplements best support dogs with arthritis, horses with laminitis, cats whose owners make their own food, and cows with digestive issues. Dynamite has worked with veterinarians and university researchers to produce specialty foods to correct nutritional deficiencies in animals ranging from Canadian muskoxen to peregrine falcons to zoo exotics.

Dynamite uses only natural ingredients, made in the United States for better quality control. Throughout its history of making natural dog food, it has always looked at alternatives to animal by-products, antibiotics, chemical preservatives, fumigants, artificial coloring and other additives that have later caused health problems. Its manufacturing processes are so stringently controlled that Dynamite has a separate mill to produce feed for herbivores, such as horses and poultry that are especially sensitive to contamination from meat needed by other species such as dogs and cats. Dynamite has manufacturing facilities in Idaho and Iowa.

Additional information on natural dog food and dog vitamin and mineral supplements is available at DynamiteSpecialty.com or by calling (800) 697-7434.

Dog Whisperer Leonard Ludovico Launches New Program To Teach Dogs How To Once Again Be Man’s Best Friend

Dog Whisperer Leonard Ludovico Launches New Program To Teach Dogs How To Once Again Be Man’s Best Friend











Leonard Colorado


Santa Monica, CA (PRWEB) November 15, 2007

The Dog Whisperer, Leonard Ludovico is launching a new program to teach dog owners how to bring their animal back to their true animal self. This program was developed from over 25 years of Leonard’s personal experience in training dogs and educating their owners.

“There are no bad dogs, just confused owners,” said Leonard Ludovico, Dominant Dogs owner and master dog trainer. “I don’t believe in right or wrong. After all if we don’t go through the experience how will we ever learn from it?”

“Our new program seeks to educate all types of dogs, puppies and their owners to get what each other truly desires from the relationship, which is simply love and companionship. It’s not just about training the dog, it’s about building trust and a relationship that will bring many happy memories for both the owner and their dog,” says Leonard Ludovico.

Leonard’s experience with canines and the animal kingdom is extensive. He has handled more than 30,000 dogs during the last 25 years. To further develop his understanding of animal behavior he traveled to Africa to be trained by the Maasai Tribe in the Kenya bush. A Maasai master animal shaman walked with Leonard and the big five–Elephants, Lions, Rhino, Cape Buffalo, and the Leopard. Leonard learned how to be one with himself and one with wild animals. Returning from Africa he spent weeks in New Mexico living with wild wolf packs to understand animals and the “pack mentality”. Then it was off to Thailand, where he was trained at an elephant camp and had the opportunity to work with cobras and crocodiles in the wild.

Back in Southern California after his world travels to study animals in the wild, Leonard added all he had learned to the new Dominant Dogs program. Leonard uses his program to successfully train any dog, any age, and any aggression level– even puppies. With a full “Doggy Ranch” training facility Leonard is able to work closely with the dog to change the way the dog interacts with both dogs and humans. The new program uses Leonard’s highly developed methods to teach the dog how to think like a dog and still remain a valued member of the owner’s family.

Dominant Dogs has provided training and guidance to dogs and their owners in the following areas: Malibu, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Bel Air, Santa Monica, Burbank, Beverly Hills, Westwood, Hollywood, Encino, Sherman Oaks, Calabasas, Westlake Village, San Fernando Valley, Orange County, Irvine, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Temecula, Canyon Lake, Menifee, Newport Beach, Corona Del Mar and San Diego. To learn more about Leonard Ludovico and the Dominant Dogs program visit http://www.dominantdogs.com

The program will be launched exclusively in Southern California. Targeted at owners who have lost control of their beloved pets, Leonard is using over 25 years of interpersonal people and animal skills to bring the owner’s dog back to its true state, man’s best friend.
