Development of dogs
Juvenile Stadium: Dog Development (12 weeks in adolescence)
– Established period or socialization is not yet stabilized and can regress.

– It is important for the dog’s equilibrium that a hierarchy settles between him and his environment.

– The dog must be subjected to all individuals in the middle otherwise we could see arising aggressiveness by hierarchical dominance.

– During this period, it is necessary to be flexible at the level of education because the dog is unstable emotionally, physically and physiologically.

Puberty Stadium: (13 to 26 weeks)
– caused by a rapid growth, change of dentition and puberty, the puppy remains unstable in his learning.

– The puppy establishes his position in the hierarchy and becomes more independent.

– The socialization established previously, is not yet stable. It can regress and if this is the case, we will attend a desocialization.

– It is strongly recommended to strengthen socialization throughout the juvenile period.

Stage of aggression and protection: (18 to 40 weeks)
– The dog barks at the sight of foreigners and begins to manifest protective trends of a territorial or social nature.

Stage of affirmation: (36 to 56 weeks), one of the most important stages
– They are more insurance in their protection and aggression attitudes.

– There is hardening behavior problems and corrections are much more complex and difficult.

– During this stage the dog begins to change, due to the affirmation period.

– During this stage, we see the disorders of communication appear.

Stage of realization: (from 2 to 4 years)
– The dog is more and more tenacious in his aggressive and protective behavior.

– With age, problems are energized deeper and correction is more difficult.

– During this stage, all the genetic luggage of the dog resurfaced.

– The period of 2 to 4 years is therefore a very critical period in the dog, since the behavioral disorders appear during this stage.

– About 60% of severe bites this product between 2 and 3 years.

Dog development
Here are the stadiums or phases of dog development are important in the dog’s life. Hoping that it can help you understand your companion, changes, fears, anxieties, ect …. In addition to you help know what to do or not do, and when doing it or not. Enjoy the maximum of 8 to 16 weeks to make it known and see as much as possible, such as: cars, bicycle, motorcycle, cat, dog, horses, children, trash, trucks, sewer mouth, sump , Flowers, ect …. And train it, as much as possible everywhere, your companion will be winner and you too.

When a dog is born, he does not know he’s a dog, he will learn it by attending other dogs. He is born without identity. According to some statistics:

We save a dog in three,

We save a dog in three difficulty,

We lose a dog in three.

39% of dogs are euthanized around the age of one year, because of a problem of dysfunction or behavioral problem.

15% of dogs are euthanized following the first year, especially because of one or more behavioral problems.

Socialization:
It is the learning of means of communication in a social group, it comprises 2 period;

1-Period of primary socialization: (from 3 to 12 weeks), it is the learning and the development of the modalities of interrelationships between individuals, it allows the puppy to learn how much it belongs and to interpret the communication to integrate it into a social structure.

– It allows the puppy to learn how much it belongs,

– It also learns communication and it includes invitation attitudes to games, dominance and submission and inhibition of bite,

– This period is sensitive and primary, so if the puppy can not realize it, it will be difficult for him to complete his secondary socialization around the age of twelve months.

2-period of secondary socialization: (12 to 24 months)

– If the dog has not realized primary socialization, he can achieve secondary socialization, on the other hand it will be much more difficult, less stable and less perfect.

– This period is a refinement of the acquis of the first period of socialization, so if the primary socialization did not take place, the dog following secondary socialization, will remain very childish and immature.

Sociability:
It is the search for social contact, the presence of others (humans, dogs, other animals ….).

Impregnation stadium: (from 8 to 10 weeks)

– This is a fragile period because traumatic experiments will be able to make the dog shy or fearful permanently bringing defensive reactions.

– On the other hand, positive and enriched experiments will allow the opposite.

– It is therefore necessary to avoid negative situations (for example: inappropriate manipulations).

– This short sensitive period is characterized by extremely fast and irreversible learning.

Competition stage: (from 10 to 12 weeks)

– During this stage the puppy competes in order to obtain more benefits and benefits of his environment.

– In addition it can also demonstrate some behavioral regressions (for example: it was peculiar to 8 weeks and becomes unclean at 12 weeks).

– This is a short time that is a form of preliminary in the juvenile period.

Attachment and detachment of the owner: (10 and 16 weeks)

– The puppy will start attempting to his owner at 10 weeks and 16 weeks, the owner will come off from the animal.

– If the owner does not do this detachment, he will be able to create anxieties during future separations.

Take note that from 16 weeks the self-destruction phase of cells (not or enough served) are started. There is often an increase in fear, aggressiveness, jammaking, rumbling, ect … towards the contexts not well known.

Next week I’m going to talk to you about the development of dogs until the age of 4

Thank you and with pleasure,

Dog in the family
My new champion
The arrival of a dog in the family is always very exciting. However it requires some preparations. I come as an elevator to relive this experience. I would like to share with you this experience that has been a little different for me. The good breeder always seeks to improve the breed. To do this, he must always mate the best possible genitors. I went to France, south of Paris, acquire a beautiful Yorkshire male. I met a very large breeder: Marc Mansuet, farming of the Monderlay domain. He has been studying Yorkshire for 30 years. His dogs won several conformation competitions over the years. So for a year, I waited for this little wonder. Frenchy: french-lover of the Monderlay estate (15 weeks ago on the photo) will be one of my future breeders. Coming from a genealogy of champions, it will undoubtedly generate very beautiful topics.

The airplane trip went very well. The little one slept all the time of the flight. On arrival, he slept with us in the bed. The next day he met the other breeding dogs. A real wonder, all have accepted it. These are balanced dogs and happy. It was an exciting and enriching experience that allowed the most interesting exchanges between breeders!

Your new puppy
For you who have chosen a good breeder and wait for your little Yorkshire, it will be very different. Do not be afraid to do a few hours drive to acquire your little baby. Tell yourself that it’s worth it because you will have this little for more than ten years.

You chose a male or a female who was cheerful, had sparkling eyes, not dull or sad and with a beautiful fur supplied, silky and shiny. The puppy is recorded, vaccinated, vermifuged and ideally, already sterilized. He does not wait until you !!!

Before going to get the puppy, make sure your home is safe for him. Toxic plants are out of the reach of the puppy. Place housekeeping products, products killing ants or others in upper cabinets or tablets. Beware of the pending electric wires, the young puppy may be tempted to play with.

Inside and out, do not let your puppy unattended, on the balcony, height terrace etc. They are small and can slide down or pass in the openings. Attention to pools, drowning cases are possible.

Puppies just like babies want to take in their mouth, all they find. Check that the floors are free of pills (Tylenol, aspirin or other), plastic bags, ropes or ribbons, handbag handles, in which they pass their heads etc.

Supplies to buy
Before hosting your puppy at home, purchase the following supplies. So you will have more time to devote to your dog.

Buy 2 bowls, one for food and one for the water. Those in Stainlessteel wash easily, what you need to do every day.
Buy a necklace. The latter must be nylon or light leather. Measure your puppy’s neck turn and add 2 inches. You must be able to insert 2 fingers between the collar and the dog’s neck. Bring it a medal with its identification.
Buy a leash. There are leather, nylon and retractable. I recommend a 6-foot leash, ideal for walking and dressing.
Buy a metal comb and brush with metal rods. Rest assured, it does not hurt the dog and it’s ideal for silk. You must brush your puppy every day.
Buy a baby toothbrush and tooth dough at the veterinarian.Encore once, the ideal is to brush your teeth every day.
Toys, whatever they are, must always be used under surveillance. Some puppies destroy them and may swallow the lag or small pieces. A nylon bone is excellent to chew the time your puppy makes his teeth. A bullet is also an ideal toy.
A small basket or small bed with a cushion or a blanket will do the affair. Do not take it too small because it will grow well .Ni too big because it will feel lost.
A cage is recommended to introduce it to cleanliness. If you leave it alone a few hours, it will be safe. I will talk about it in the initiation to cleanliness.
I wish you the most beautiful experience with your new puppy. A house without a Yorkshire is not a house …… at the next: initiation to cleanliness.

Caniche and fidelity
I am literally fallen in love with the poodle for his intelligence, his beauty, and his beautiful fur that in addition to being hypoallergenic, because he does not smell, he never feels the little dog wet, his fur will absorb your smell, your perfume, the fabric softener that you used for its covers, etc. His fame is no longer to do, he has several features that make him the best of company dogs constantly awake. Active, which will adapt to your life, which means that if you and your life is calm it will become as calm after 1-2 years you have to happen anyway! Renowned dog for her loyalty C ‘is a versatile dog that pleases a wide variety of people for just as varied reasons.
It may be that the little living room dog, but it will prefer even more agility, learn lots of stuff, it’s not for nothing that it was so often used as a circus dog it is very intelligent and agile It is also highly appreciated by zotherapy many of my dogs work for zotherapy-Québec.

The only defects of the poodle
If he was developing it, will be due to the fact of having hurt him. Hey yes! Believe me, the little poodle is so endearing that we love them too much and often let them do everything as they please: then it can become detestable I recommend to all my clients to take training courses, that you buy a poodle or Any other breed. The absence of education can even make the little dog most submitted into an undesirable beast that no one will want. Moreover it will not be his fault, it is your duty to educate it well and you will be rewarded.

The poodle that is harmoniously constituted gives an impression of elegance and pride, it has a jumping and light approach. The standards are: miniatures (or dwarf): 9 to 15 lb.11- 12 pc at the withers, Toy (or toy): 6 to 8 ½ lb 10-11 pc at the withers. I want to specify the standards are introducing for show dogs, as for humans a woman who measures 5 feet can not become a model, but she is a good person do not have? So the little dog that is not quite in the standard of his breed is not rotten for all as much!

Here is an anecdote that has happened to me at my breeding debut and threw me on the floor:
It was for sale at a breeder a female guy completely cute black brown brown color and gray so really off standard in the color that must be frank and united I call a very renowned branchman to know about Where could this color come that different, she answered me in a way so beast and haughty absolutely wanting to know where this dog came from and that he should be euthanized because he was out of standard! How awful ! I hung her the line on the nose …. And my little brink rogue has become a beautiful gray after a year, has never been sick of his life giving me superb united puppy and left us at the age of 12.

My priority being the perfect health of my breeders and my puppies I have no shame if one of my dogs has a thumb lower or higher than the standard, I managed not without difficulty finding myself beautiful poodle d ‘A brown not fireing creams after a year with good health and good joints, as much for my very small outstanding Tiny-Toy (4 to 6 lb) and tea-cup (3-4 lb) than For the biggest. My puppies are all sold with recording at the Canadian Canine Club, microchip or tattoo, vaccine, vermifuge 4 times, health guarantee 2 years + health insurance and free accident for 6 weeks. Doudou, bag of food, after-sales follow-up as needed and lifetimes with non-reproductive contract.

Yorkshire Terrier
Yorkshire Terrier is ranked by the Canadian Canine Club in Group 5: Dwarf Dog. It’s a dwarf burrow. It is square and its long hair, in adulthood it is blue steel with shades of golden fire on the head and legs.

Yorkshire of quality has a silky fur, lustrous, brilliant and hypo allergen. It must not be cotton or woolen. He has a small head at the snout not too long, the nose is black, the eyes are oval and dark brown. The outline of the eye is defined as if it were made up. The ears are small, in the shape of V and straight brought. Usually, the tail is shortened and the lugs are removed.

The most common problem at York is tartar on the teeth. That’s why it’s recommended to brush them every day. It may also need a descaling in the veterinarian.

Yorkshire is alert, vigorous and playful. He has a great intelligence and likes to please. As it should not exceed 7 pounds, it can live very well in condo or apartment. Overflowing with energy, it adapts both to life in the countryside. However, it is not recommended for children under 4 years old.

What about Yorkshire Toy now, Tea Cup, miniature?
All these appellations do not formally exist. It is called to speak very small subjects; Less than 3 pounds. It is also called pocket dog. It is not desirable to acquire an York at the bottom of 4 pounds. These are often achieved with diseases (hypoglycemia, allergies, Liver Shunt, Luxation of ball joints, etc.) and behavioral disorders such as shaking, anxiety separation, aggressiveness. Yorkshire is by definition a miniature dog, in English we say that it is part of the group 5: Toy Dog just like Maltese bichon and the thumbnail poodle.

I hope these information about Yorkshire will be useful for buying your puppy. The subject of the next article: the arrival of the new puppy.

Michèle Babin Yorkshire Harvest

Newfoundland
I am a borough of Newfoundland, a great passionate dogs since my very young age, this unconditional love, this connection, this link that unites us is so wonderful. All they give us without ever asking anything is so great and unconditional …

I had dogs all my life, different size, different color, different breeds, short hairs, long hairs. After having known several breeds, years of experience in the canine field and a lot of research, my favorite and my love in summer for the Newfoundland, a fabulous dog with the magnificent qualities, sweet, calm, passive, a being The most extraordinary who by his qualities brings me back to a serenity and incredible inner peace.

My breeding is a small breeding, thoroughly chosen, it has 1 breed, which is the black Newfoundland and Landseer (black and white). It all started 6 years ago, with a female Newfoundland Landseer named Kyra with whom I developed a complicity and great respect. At the first reach of Kyra, I kept one of his puppies, another Newfoundland female that I named Elektra. Elektra and I have a pretty intense relationship, I gave it birth, pierce his bag, cut off the cord, rocked, etc. This has created a fairly powerful link between us. Here is a very promising start of my breeding that goes without saying to continue to grow quietly.

Successful exams:
Parents and the last 6 generations have passed and successfully their exams for dysplasia hip and elbow, heart, thyroid gland, cystinuria and deer, the purpose of these exams is to provide customers with healthless health puppies. genetic who should live a long life. Of course health remains unpredictable and despite our good will, medical examinations, and our steps it is not infallible, there are also environmental factors, for example, dysplasia is not only hereditary, but also environmental.

My dogs are part of the family and live in the house with us, children, cats, and other dogs (canine daycare), etc. They come to work with me in the office (or they have direct contact with the different clientele, and see and hear the machinery enough diversify), they are groomed every 2 months from the eight weeks old, they participate in canine living rooms, travel by recreational vehicle … .. finally they are an integral part of the family And are treated in this way.

Puppies, they are obviously born in the family home and are constantly manipulated and stimulate. My training and my experience in canine behavior make me aware that it is necessary to provide balanced puppies, so they are socialized (it is the learning of means of communication in a social group) and sociability (it is the Research of social contact, the presence of others; Humans, dogs, other animals …) From their very young age. They never leave the house before 8 weeks, the 5 to 8 weeks period is crucial for the mother and the puppy, the ideal age adoption is 8 weeks. Puppies are registered, micropucled, vaccinated and vermifuge. They are also guaranteed for 2 years.

Newfoundland is a water dog
Formerly used on ships, coming from the island of Newfoundland, but imported into Britain. The first documents identifying this dog appear in Britain around 1775.

Newfoundland reflects goodness and sweetness
It’s a dignified dog, happy, kind, intelligent, benevolent and enterprising. It is known for its docility and imperturbable calm. He is an ideal and devoted companion.

There are 3 colors of Newfoundland, the best-known color is black, there is also the black and white we say Landseer, name given by Sir Edwin Henry Landseer, a great animal painter who made the model of These most famous paintings, and the brown which is the least known. It is important not to confuse the Newfoundland Landseer (Landseer being used here, as a color, which means black and white) with the Landseer race a very distant cousin of Newfoundland in Europe.

The Newfoundland fascinates me and impresses me by all he is and represents, and he made me excessively pleasure to share my love for this kind giant.

I finish with this:

Near this place are deposited the rest of a creature who had beauty without vanity, of force without insolence, of the courage without ferocity and all the virtues of man without his vices.

This eulogy that would be a foolish flattery, if it was written on human ash, is only a fair tribute paid to the memory of Boatswain, dog born in Newfoundland in May 1803 and death in Newstead on November 18, 1808 , by Lord Byron.

Karyn Kennedy a businesswoman
I was born with the most beautiful passions, that of animals … In 2004, I acquired my Yorkshires and my Dalmatians. 2 completely different races, but how endeats! With the years, I acquired a lot of experience and I specialized in various fields. In addition to my breeding, I am the organizer of the animal salon the small paw that covers the Hautes-Laurentides (Newfoundland, Maniwaki and Rouge River) Hull and Laval. The goal being to make known breeders who like me had the tattooed passion on the heart and taking care of their dogs above all! My salons have allowed thousands of people to learn more about the breeds and professional farms.

I was 2 years Inspector Taupe to give a hand to the inspectors in our region to dismantle puppy factories. A scourge in our country we can be shameful to have received the national title of puppy factory capital! The laws being ridiculous, the ease of exploiting the dogs is suitable for anyone wanting to make money at the expense of our poor friends at 4 legs …

With knowledge:
After having followed several training in canine psychology, I decided with my husband to open my Canin center located in Farmhouse. Several services are offered, grooming, pension, dressage, sale of accessories in addition to our animal cruise meat processing company! You can find our products in most pet shops from this fall.

The experience with the lounges and the meeting of the breeders pushed us, me and my friend Marylene Mercier to launch a private borer association to share our experiences and to make training together. We are a beautiful gang! Karyn Kennedy, a businesswoman and passionate dogs.

My choice for the breed of Dalmatian was so easy. This stylish, proud and noble dog was my favorite since my earliest childhood. This bright, intelligent, very sensitive dog almost as much as the human (he can sulk without joke) and my mysterious beauty conquered me. Of course several people have coupled these dogs without doing the appropriate tests as the deafness that is the most popular problem in the breed and contributed to the weakening of this breed. The film of the 101 Dalmatians also contributed to the deterioration of the Dalmatian. The factories quickly saw the sales potential after the film exit and several health problems arose. Now we are only 2 breeders in Quebec.

Rumors:
Several rumors run about my breed! I hear them very often: the Dalmatian is sneaky, hyperactive, pig’s head … In short it always makes me laugh, because I cohabit with 8 Dalmatians and I do not see any of these hoaxes in my house! The Dalmatian is a very intelligent dog and it’s important to be firm, when it’s no, it’s still no! Yes it is an active dog who must go out everyday at least 2 times to spend his energy. After it will be as quiet as an old dog! The lack of people who sell Dalmatians comes from the excess test that is too important to neglect it. A deaf dog, what is any race is dangerous because it does not hear anything and by the very fact a lot more nervous and sneaky this faithful dog until death would give it life anytime for that of one of his family members. They are valiant, protectors, loving and players!

Dogs are the best friends of man and they fill our lives so much!

Passionate about Schnauzers
It was in 1992 that the passion of the Schnauzers is born following the purchase of a medium pepper schnauzer and salt that I called Rudolph. I did at the same time the acquisition of a giant Schnauzer female that I called Elke. Shortly after making the acquisition of Elke another giant Schnauzer female, Rika entered my life and it was with the acquisition of the magnificent Giant Schnauzer, Germautthaus Bosco Delvas that my giant Schnauzer breeding took off! Like the good things never come alone, I had the opportunity at the same time to acquire Oberdorf’s Jack and the Coterie Tototsie Schnauzer medium pepper and salt that started my schnauzer medium pepper schnauzer breeding and salt. Donald is a passionate of Schnauzers.

His studies
A few years later I decide to undertake university studies which obliges me to reduce my breeding and return to Montreal. It goes without saying that it does not hurt so I kept a giant puppy, Nimo, who to share my student life for nine beautiful years. I was already hoping to return to the breeding of Schnauzer, but this time with black means schnauzers that we did not have at that time in Quebec.

Its goal
So after several years of university and working studies for a tribal council as a research coordinator and as a communications specialist on a Gaspésie bargaining team I returned to the Montreal region in 2006 with the desire to perfect my Knowledge in canine cynology and reproduction. So I enrolled in a cynology training at Cyno Do School I completed and at the same time I followed an education and canine behavior training with Jean Lessard. By interest I also took a training competing training at the Deberlac School. In 2008 I imported two black schnauzers from the most prestigious schnauzer breeding in Europe (Grand Calvera) Original Grand Calvera son of Multichapion Objiwo says Otto Heart of Maasai and Nevada Grand Calvera Daughter of the World Champion Deep Purple Grand Calvera, were therefore My first two breeders. In June 2010 I acquired the Son of the World Champion Hera Flor d’Luna Grand Calvera, Czar Flor d’Luna Grand Calvera.

It is with great joy that I will share my passion for dogs, but especially for schnauzers with you. I will maintain each month on the Schnauzers, but also on canine education and its importance in establishing a good dog human relationship and different topics on the wonderful world of dogs.
