For Love or Money
So why do you want to be a dog breeder? The classic question is love or money? Lets start with money since it is generally the reason people go into business. If you want to make a ton of money then breeding champion Tibetan Mastifs for sale in China is for you. Unfortunately that's about it for the six figure dog sale. Most dogs sell for a few hundred to a few thousand. Where you fit on that spectrum will largely come from reputation. And you won't get there over night following ethical practices. Most reputable breeders only produce a small number of litters a year. So the bottom line is you aren't going to get rich selling dogs. It can be a nice side business, but breeding by itself is generally not a top career choice.
Then there is love. It usually starts with the best dog ever. Yours! You want to share your find with the whole world. What better way to do that than make…
Your Next Powerwasher
Sooner or later you will want a power washer for your outdoor kennel. If you are like most people you will think you aren't going to need one more than once in a while. You are probably right. The mistake comes in assuming you should get the least expensive model since you aren't going to use it very often. We have tried a variety of simple hose attachment and they generally don't get the job done. Also, the small electric models you can get at Home Depot or Sears just don't cut it. The hoses kink and crack almost instantly and they can't be replaced. You are also likely to find that the hose connection leaks like a sieve. It's just not worth going cheap.
We were somewhat reluctant to go up a model but it is well worth it. We eventually moved up to to a gas powered Honda 2600 PSI washer, which is on the low end of power washers. This is probably more power than you need for power washing a do…
Housebreaking Your Puppy
House breaking your puppy is one of the most concerned matters that any new pet owner has in his mind after one buys a puppy. It is indeed one the most important as well the most time consuming training that you’re pet undergoes once it reaches your house. The most important step is to understand your puppy and his habits. Most of the housebreaking training starts at the preliminary stage. Normally puppies do not have the holding capacity of adult dogs once they have their meal. It creates pressure at their bladder and colon, which forces them to urinate. They need to urinate at least six times a day. The most preliminary sign are they will circle by going round and round the place where they will urinate. If your puppy smells his/her defecation it becomes very tough to housebreak your puppy.
The key way to ensure your puppy stays on the right track is to frequently take your pet out. If the puppy defecates outside at a regular basis do praise it. Dogs…
