5 weeks!
Posted 5/12/2013
Pups are 5 weeks 5/13/2013 Moved upstairs into the kitchen! Access to a outside potty area, and other dogs. We are in the process of weaning them onto a grain free dehydrated raw (Honest kitchen) raw meat and bones, and some kibble. These pups should be ready to transition onto a complete raw, combination raw or quality kibble diet. It is amazing, how well the transition has been.. No loose stool.. Good appetites.. And frankly the herbs and veggies in this food smell so delightful so when the pups play in it like puppies do, they get this on them.. And...

Is Yogurt Good For Dogs?

As with us humans, there has been an increasing interest in the use of natural foods and supplements to enhance nutritional balance in dogs. One food that comes up often is yogurt, and there are many who sing the praises of yogurt as a nutritional supplement.

What Yogurt Contains
In addition to being a natural source of calcium, yogurt contains a strain of lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) which is a “probiotic,” or healthy bacteria. L. acidophilus naturally inhabits both the intestinal tract, and it does several good things for dogs (and us, as well). First, it assists in both folic acid and niacin production, which are both necessary for good health, especially in pregnant dogs. It also helps remove amino acids (protein building blocks) from bile acids in the digestive system. Perhaps the most notable benefit of L. acidophilus, however, is the protection it provides from other “bad” bacteria. As it breaks down nutrients, L. acidophilus releases both hydrogen peroxide and lactic acid, which can destroy or inhibit harmful bacteria. Additionally, since many bad bacteria feed on the same nutrients as L. acidophilus, a healthy digestive culture can simply starve off other bacteria. -Read the whole article

German Shepherd Dog
The German Shepherd Dog is a very respected, admired, and utilized working dog throughout the world. They are easy to recognize and one of the most popular of all breeds. German Shepherds are acclaimed for their versatility, well known for intelligence, and beloved for their devotion and loyalty to master and family. The German Shepherd Dog has been a recognized breed for only about 100 years. The breed began its heritage from a small group of breeders breeding sheep herding and working farm

Flat-Coated Retriever
This breed is not for everyone. They are NOT black Golden Retrievers. While they do come in Yellow, liver or black...yellow is a disallowed color and should not be used in a breeding program. They are one of the best kept secrets of the dog world and responsible breeders wish to keep them that way...so they may be hard to find...and equally hard to adopt. Proper training and a sense of humor is a MUST when owning this breed.
