If you own a female Bichon Frise and you want to have more puppies, you might want to consider getting stud services that are being offered by breeders of Bichon Frise.

A stud is a male dog that has the qualities of being a prolific breeder. When getting stud services, you should do some research on breeders of Bichon Frise in your local area.

BREEDERS

Most reputable breeders post photos of the stud as well as the breeding history, including the number of litters it has successfully sired and the number of puppies per litter. If there are particular studs that interest you, set an appointment with the breeder for you to actually see them. Good studs should be very healthy and have complete shots. Inquire about their diets as a healthy stud must have adequate nutrition to ensure the production of quality sperms. Make sure that you ask about any health problems in the puppies that it has sired. Some studs may have a history of having puppies that are stillborn or have birth defects.

After you have finished making your inquiries, it will be the breeder's turn to ask questions from you. Obviously, they would want to know the state of health of your female Bichon as well as request for copies of documents pertaining to its pedigree. If your female dog has given birth before, they would also like to know the state of health of the puppies in the litter. Stillbirths and congenital anomalies may make breeders decline your request for a stud service. If this is going to be the first time that your female dog will be mating with a stud, breeders would require that your pet be checked out by their veterinarian to ensure your dog's good health for conception and birth.

If the breeder approves of your request for stud service, you will be asked to observe your pet for signs of heat (fertility in dogs). Female Bichon Frises go into heat approximately every six months, and it is characterized by a clear discharge which is followed by bleeding. Breeders do not allow mating to occur during the first heat. On the second or third heat, the breeders will advise that you bring your female pet 10 to 14 days after the start of the bleeding. Most stud services require that your dog be roomed in at the kennel. This will help the breeder to determine which specific Bichon stud matches the temperament of your pet to ensure proper mating.

After breeding has been accomplished, you may choose to let your pet stay at their kennel or you can bring her home. If you choose to bring your Bichon home, strictly follow the diet and vitamin instructions that the breeder will give you to ensure the good health of your pet and the puppies growing in her womb.

Stud Services Offered by Breeders of Bichon Frise

On average, breeders of Bichon Frise may charge stud service fees of up to 0 plus a pick of the litter when your dogs give birth. Despite the cost, getting a reputable stud service will give you the reassurance that you will have pedigreed pups from your female pet.

Latest Gorgeous Coach Sneakers

I used to like the colorful and marvelous sneakers from Louis Vuitton and even consider them art of living. And then one day I suddenly found that Coach also offers us a complete range of sneakers, gorgeous sneakers. For instance, this fall winter fashion season it mainly focuses on three patterns of sneakers. They are the New Barrett Sneaker, the OP Art Kathleen Runner and the Zorra Ocelot Sneaker. Here I will introduce them one by one.

valeo ocelot

Firstly, as to the Barrett Sneakers, I have to say that it is its shiny color combination and the abstract golden pattern that attract me very much. Beside this kind of shoe is available in three colors, black multi/gold, black/white/black trim and khaki/chestnut. Although only priced at .00, its signature jacquard fabric with leather trim and cotton twill lining is stylish and comfortable for sunny day wearing. Secondly, the OP Art Kathleen Runner made from Coach OP Art print fabric, suede trim and brushed nylex lining is priced at 8.00. Being relatively pricy, the runner is much more comfortable to wear than the above sneaker. The third style is the Zorra Ocelot Sneaker, which is in a more elegant shape. The shoe features signature jacquard fabric with ocelot hair-calf trim, cotton twill lining and rubber sole. There are occasions one has to wear the high-heel pumps to appear formal, but more times we are concerned about our own comfortably wearing. You need such a pair of sneakers.

Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile

The Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile is a one mile weight for age stakes race for three year old horses and older. The race is designed to contrast the Breeders' Cup Mile, which is run on grass. The Dirt Mile will be ran either on natural dirt or synthetic track, as the 2008 Breeders' Cup races are slated for Santa Anita, which will have a new synthetic surface installed prior to the races.

The Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile was first ran in 2007 at Monmouth Park Racetrack in Oceanport, New Jersey. The race cannot be slated as a graded stakes race until after its second running in 2008 due to technical requirements, however, the race will have a ,000,000 purse, which is required for Grade I stakes races. The weight for age designation is also reserved for the highest-quality horse races.

BREEDERS

The Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile is a one mile race, but was held at one mile and seventy yards at Monmouth Park due to the configuration of the track. There are four qualifying races that horses must compete in to be eligible to compete in the Dirt Mile. These include the Salvator Mile held at Monmouth, the San Diego Handicap held at Del mar, Longacres Mile held at Emerald and the Tiznow Stakes held at Louisiana Downs.

The first winner of the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile was Corinthian in 2007. The horse was jockeyed by Kent Desormeaux and trained by James A. Jenkins.

For the 2008 running of the Dirt Mile, there are several horses already competing for their spot. Three horses have acquired their berth through challenge wins including Notional, Wasserman and Well Armed. However, Notional was retired after an injury and will not be competing in the race. Wasserman, a six year old, has opened the door to compete after winning the Longacres Mile at Emerald. The horse is bred, owned and trained by Howard Belvoir. The horse has only had seven lifetime starts and 2008 earnings of 9,300.

The other contender, Well Armed, has had five starts, but has 2008 earnings of ,160,000. Well Armed earned his spot by winning the San Diego Handicap at Del Mar. Well Armed competed at the Emirates Airline Dubai World race, which featured a purse of million. This is the only race to have a greater purse than the Breeders' Cup Classic. Well Armed placed third in this prestigious race and is sure to be the competition to beat in the Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile.

Your Golden Retriever Breeder Guide

Are you in search of the perfect golden retriever puppy? Do you want to start breeding this wonderful and noble breed of dog? Whether you are a prospective dog owner, or you are a breeder beginner, this article is here to help you! This is a guide all about the golden retriever breeder.

breeders choice dog food

The first step to your quest is learning the Breed Standard for golden retrievers. The Breed Standard maintains the integrity of the breed by setting a descriptive standard for a purebred dog. Any reputable breeder uses the Breed Standard as a guide for his/her breeding program. The American and European (including British) Breed Standards are a little different for goldens. This is why American and European goldens each have their own distinctive look. Find the American standard at akc.org, and the British version at thekennelclub.org.uk.

BREEDERS

Good breeders will register all of their dogs. Any puppy and both of the parents should be registered, showing that they are purebred goldens. In the U.S., the breeder should be able to provide AKC registration paperwork. You can check the AKC registration number(s) with the AKC. In Britain, look for KC registration. Other national kennel clubs will be different such as the Australian National Kennel Council, and the Canadian Kennel Club. Breeders should maintain a 3-to 5-generation record of each dog's pedigree showing all of the dogs are purebred. Again, the registered names and numbers can be checked with the AKC, or the appropriate organization. By the way, charging extra for paperwork is against AKC rules. Finally, once a puppy is sold the breeder should provide a form to transfer registered ownership, so the puppy will be registered with the AKC or KC in the buyer's name.

What about 'snowy' looking golden retrievers? These beautiful dogs are technically a light cream color. Breed Standards don't allow a golden to have a 'white' coat. Cream goldens are European dogs. The AKC Breed Standard does not allow a purebred to have a shade of gold that pale. Registration for a cream puppy is a straightforward process in Britain or Europe. In America, a cream golden should have the distinctive look of a European dog. However, a puppy will generally have AKC registration because imported purebreds can be reregistered with the national kennel club. At some point, the puppy's parents or ancestors were imported. The breeder should be able to provide the registration form and number from the appropriate European kennel club.

Most golden retriever health problems are related to genetics. This is why it is so important for a breeder to screen each breeding pair before they have a litter of puppies. This testing is standard, and the certification paperwork should be shown to prospective buyers as a matter of course. There should be OFA certification for the hips (hip dysplasia) and elbows. A thorough breeder will also have Orthopedic Foundation for Animals certification for the heart and thyroid. CERF certification for eyes is important because goldens can often have cataracts when they are older. If you are a breeder, consider a DNA profile for your dogs and DNA testing for disease. Cancer is the leading cause of death for this breed.

It is a very good idea to visit the breeder before purchasing a golden retriever. Buying a puppy is a lifelong investment. Goldens live 10-15 years on average. Not all breeders are created equal. So, don't focus on only one breeder. When you visit a breeder, come prepared with a list of questions. A quality breeder will be knowledgeable about the breed, and passionate about his/her dogs. Make sure you spend time with each puppy's parents. This should be no problem. That way you can have a good idea of what your future dog will look like, and if the parents are healthy. Also, spend time with the litter. This way you can compare the personalities of the puppies. Finally, spend time with your puppy. Is he/she comfortable with you?

It takes a full time commitment to breed golden retrievers, and there are significant start-up costs. You will also need adequate and clean facilities and a lot of space to raise a litter of 8-12 puppies. You will have to be prepared to help with whelping. For example, the dam may need a caesarean at the vet if there is difficulty with whelping the litter. Puppies should not be sold until they are 7-8 weeks old. The puppies should also be socialized before they are sold, and they should be vaccinated and de-wormed. Buyers should be provided with written instructions for feeding, care, and training. A good breeder will also offer a guaranteed puppy contract, so the puppy can be returned within a reasonable time frame. Being a member of a breed club is a good idea, and they can also be a good source for advice.

Female German Shepherds

German Shepherds are one of the most popular pet dogs in the world. In fact, they rank among the top three of America's most favorite. They are strong, agile, well-muscled, and have a very good appearance. They are also an obedient and loyal breed and are easy to train. There are many factors to consider in choosing a German Shepherd. The more general factors are appearance, health, strength, and intelligence. One great factor is also the gender. The gender of which dog to choose is, of course, strictly a matter of preference. But you would want to know if there is a big difference between the male and female in their appearance, behavior or abilities. You may want to choose a female German Shepherd, for example, for their comparably more genteel manner or simply for the reason that they are able to give birth to pups.

Size

BREEDERS

Generally, you can tell the gender of a German Shepherd dog simply by its appearance. A male German Shepherd is larger and more masculine in structure. The female smaller and more feminine. A smaller size can be advantageous if you want your dog to live indoors with your family. A female's size can also be an advantage in their working ability.

Instinct

Female German Shepherds are instinctive of their packs and are more protective of their family--in this case, your family. Male shepherds are more territorial and protective of their surroundings. Females are more affectionate to her owner and the other family members she lives with. This instinct may also cause her to be jealous of other pets in the household.

Reproduction

A big consideration in choosing a female German Shepherd is their ability to reproduce puppies. After a female gives birth, the puppies are usually retained by the female. Sometimes a ouooy or two goes to the male's owner. If the female is not intended for breeding, it is recommended that she be spayed to avoid complications.
