Thursday, October 31, 2013

Just arrived: Noble Nadirs Wilhelmina PH.
Willie is a 4.5 months old Phalene girl, and is imported from Sweden.
Following photos where done by me as she just arrives; she shows a little insecurity here, but as I am up loading the photos she already is running around to get to know everybody here.

Above: Annie is holding her for me to get a good shot of her.

Sweet little Harlequin Sundae.
Following photos where sent from her new family.

We all just adore little Daisy (our oldest will only call her Sundae). She is so well adjusted and happy! She will whine when
left alone, but isn't clingy when you are in the room. She greets everybody with lots of tail wags and kisses, and loves to torment Fiasko! BTW, he is so patient with her, he really has surprised us all. He really treats her as his charge... it's really cute.

Sundae lives in the State of WA, her buddy Fiasko is also a Road's End Dog, but a Phalene.

Tear Stain Remover

I recently bought a great tear stain remover for my Paps, and can highly recommend it.
I just purchased the powder, and it works good all by itself.

Road's End Phalenes owned by Others

Hi Antje

We tried to qualify in AKC Beginner Novice Obedience but Nesse would not do the long sit with the Judge in the ring with us. Nesse only wanted to be with her mom so she broke the sit. She is just 9 months so she is really too young to want to be far from mom with "strangers" standing nearby.... and Mom so far away!

Some photos of Nesse participating in beginner agility:

Nesse was an absolute speed demon on the high Walk- It this past Saturday. She loved it and showed no fear. Mom was a wreck...I could hardly keep up with her.

Nesse is a natural for agility. She llloooovvvvveeess the equipment. Once when learning the A-Frame she did a cute little hop at the top, apparently she thought to herself--- this is FUN!!!

Good News About the Latest Canine Vaccination Guidelines-by Dr. Becker

By Dr. Becker

The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) Canine Vaccination Task Force has updated their vaccination guidelines for 2011.

According to AAHAnet.org:

Developed in a manner consistent with best vaccination practices, the 2011 Guidelines include expert opinions supported by scientific study, published and unpublished documents, and encompass all canine vaccines currently licensed in the U.S. and Canada. The task force that developed the guidelines included experts in immunology, infectious diseases, internal medicine, law, and clinical practice.

I'm encouraged by, if not blissful about the new guidelines.

The absolute highlight is that all core vaccines with the exception of the 1-year rabies are now recommended at 3-year or greater intervals.

Even more exciting is the task force has acknowledged that in the case of the non-rabies core vaccines, immunity lasts at least 5 years for distemper and parvo, and at least 7 years for adenovirus.

Hopefully these new guidelines will help more dog owners understand the long-lasting effect of those puppy shots! And hopefully, more dog owners will now request titers rather than automatically revaccinating their canine companions for distemper, parvo and adenovirus.
