Letters Against Defamation Of Character

... or how fast three males are "friends".

now and then I am obviously more than dog owners individually with my dogs go. We used this beautiful autumn day to finally get to know the two males from friends. Our male
Tommy is very friendly with other dogs and is usually out of the way of any dispute.
We met so with Bobo, a young Rottweiler mixed breed ...

For Dogs encounters I've learned over the years that it is (almost) always pays off when the dog owner kept the peace. Meanwhile, I see my dogs well, when I let the dogs quiet it out among themselves and when the time comes to intervene accordingly.
usually run with us from meeting and random dogs without problems. Most dogs that we meet on our walks are "offline" and the owners often and see no sign. One sniff at these occasions, especially the males mark up quite a "round" and then everyone goes his way. Of course there are also from anwildes and barking, but you learn to hear with the time, whether it be to the usual "barking" is, which one does not take much to pay attention.

Painful Ears When Laughing

Ben and Bruno

Since my last post already been some weeks. In the meantime, have my two "B's " Ben and Bruna met.

Ben comes to us as a welcome counter
From Bruna and Ben
Although Bruno had in their lives, unfortunately, little contact with large dogs, was won the first meeting with Ben, in turn, after some hesitation, not a big problem for them. Ben was thrilled about the female society. Bruna, however, showed him in a short time, the freedoms of "Mr. Dog" must be removed to her over and which are permitted under any circumstances, after such a short introductory period.
Bruna and Ben
From When Ben is something to research, such as "nibbling" at Bruna's neck fur or rude terms, boorish game calls, it shows in the still short their teeth, of which it will also be accepted immediately and he accordingly withdrew.

was my impression that Bruna, even if it makes a very quiet and gentle impression that Ben already rated quite good and not applying too much respect for him. In short, "Madame" has "Mr. dog," already well under control - but he has not yet seen (as in real life).
From Bruna and Ben

We estimate that their common coexistence no particular problem, since it both dogs are accustomed to live in packs and they do not appear to unwell together feel.

Xbox Controller Receiver Hack

Our protege Ben

In a previous post I reported on Road Dogs Ben (for reference street dogs ). We hope that we can include it in the near future, forever in our packs.

In the interim, daily visits, grooming, feeding and games be enough with it yet. is
By Ben

Ben a very eager learner and the "work" with him gives pleasure, since he is the man really quite simple. Particularly enjoyed the food, he seems to have dummy, he now very good, retrieves without (like my own dogs make it very much) chewing and shaking chairs, and then to "command", this also reflects his people. A reward is of course right away.

sits, space and other elements of traditional dog training, he mastered very well. I must confess that one to Ben many things only once and must indicate to execute it very promptly and safely - my own dogs, especially Tommy and Bruna are not so much fast and sometimes need re, urging.
By Ben

However, Ben also shows a pronounced fear of lines, ropes and collars. Meanwhile, we are but at least so far that I can not touch him so easily without it running away in terror (which was his first reaction when I told him, wanted to move in ignorance, a necklace). After all, practice in small progress that makes me quite optimistic in the near future with the leash to him.
I assume that he is no good in the past experience mit Leinen gemacht hat, auch wenn dies, wie es meist bei Hunden mit ungewisser Vergangenheit ist, eine reine Vermutung bleiben muss.
Von Ben

Wie immer kann ich mich nur wundern, wie Menschen einen so schönen, liebenswerte und gelehrigen Hund, ohne Skrupel aussetzen und ihm seinem Schicksal überlassen. Auch hier bleibe ich optimistisch, dass zumindest die jüngere Generation sich sensibler gegenüber diesem Thema zeigt und mehr Verantwortung übernimmt!

Extreme Nausea And Indigestion

Volpino

FCI Nr.165

Origin: Italy
size: females and males max. 30 cm
weight : kg 5
colors : white, red, is champagne allowed

meaning of the name :
Volpino is, literally, "little fox" - is hence also known as fox dog, the fox-like appearance of the dogs

On the Origin of Racial :
- side line of the top European
- During the Renaissance Begleithund der italienischen Adelsdamen beliebt; auch Michelangelo besaß einen Volpino Italiano. Er wurde allerdings auch immer als Wachhund auf Bauernhöfen gehalten
- Nach dem 2.Weltkrieg nahm der Bestand des Volpino Italino ständig ab; 1965 waren nur noch 5 Examplare im Zuchtbuch eingetragen; der Volpino verschwand bis 1984; der ENCI (italienische kynologische Verband) begann die Rasse zu neuem Leben zu erwecken; die neue Zucht der Rasse basiert auf Tieren die auf Bauernhöfen gehalten und nie registriert wurden

Besonderheiten zur Fellfarbe Rot :
- die Fellfarbe „Rot“ (im ital. rosso oder auch fulvo) gilt heute als fast ausgestorben. Es gibt Bemühungen, diese Farbe wieder zu neuem to give life. I myself could I find a breeder in Umbria / Perugia, which breeds at the time, except the white and red Volpini, although these dogs are not for sale!

character :
- very affectionate and their people loyal to
- to strangers, at first somewhat reluctant
- right to bark, which can be, however, steered by an appropriate education in the right direction
- educate very intelligent and easily
- born guard dog
- barely existing hunting instinct

use :
- Companion Dog
- Small watchdog
- In the past he has always tägliches Brot auf den Masserien (typische ital. Bauernhöfe) verdient – zur Unterstützung der größeren Wachhunde; auch als Helfer der Hütehunde
- In der Toskana wurde er in der Vergangenheit auch für die Trüffelsuche verwendet, auch aufgrund seines kaum vorhandenen Jagdtriebes
- Agility in der Miniklasse

Verbreitung in Deutschland und anderen Ländern :
In Deutschland ist der Volpino so gut wie unbekannt; in Italien verzeichnet man konstante Zuchtbucheinträge, aber gering im Vergleich zu „moderneren“ Rassen; Rasseclubs findet man auch in den Vereinigten Staaten/Kanada, sowie Südamerika (Argentinien)

Rasseclubs :
Italy: ENCI (Ente Nazionale di Cinofilia Italiana) http://www.enci.it/ ; Avati (Associazione Tecnica Amatori Volpino) http://www.volpinoatavi.it/home% 20page.htm
Germany: the breed is maintained by the German Spitz eV http://www.deutsche-spitze.de/start.html
Some nice pictures can be found on the following page: http://www.volpinoatavi. it / foto% 20gallery.htm


My personal experience: I am 12 years
Proud Owner of a Spitz mix. The mother of my dog was clearly a Volpino mix. At that time I knew next to nothing über diese schöne Rasse. Heute kann ich mir ein Leben ohne meinen treuen Begleiter nicht mehr vorstellen. Trotz ihrer relativ geringen Größe, sind sie durchaus Hunde die man ernstnehmen sollte: unbestechlicher Wächter und treuer Begleiter; mutig und intelligent!
Auf einer italienischer Züchterhompage habe ich einmal den treffen Spruch gelesen: „Un cane per la vita“ – ein Hund fürs Leben.
Mein persönliches Fazit: einmal Volpino – immer Volpino

Ich hoffe, dass wieder mehr Menschen diese "alte" Rasse zu schätzen lernen und würde mich freuen auch die Farbe Rot wieder auf Ausstellungen zu sehen.

Why Does The Arch Of My Feet Hurt When I Skate

chance I am today came across an article on the Salento, Santa Cesarea Terme, in the Berliner Zeitung.

Spanish Wording Samples For Wedding Invitations

street dogs imagine

Über das Streunerproblem in den südeuropäischen Ländern wird zur Zeit viel in den entsprechenden Internetforen geschrieben.
Apulien ist eine der Regionen Italiens mit der höchsten Anzahl an Straßenhunden und leider sind auch viele Tierheime überfüllt.

Kastrationen von Straßenhunden werden, zumindest bei uns im Ort, durchgeführt, aber da immer wieder neue Hunde hinzukommen, ist eine Lösung des Problems noch in weiter Ferne.
Positiv fällt auf, dass gerade die younger generation is increasingly sensitive over this issue, and also engaged in the animals.

I would like you to show you some images of our street dogs, including Luna and Ben, we feed every day and who are regularly on our property.

From street dogs




Ben a beautiful German Shepherd mix and about four years old. He was suspended in the summer of 2007, has spent the first time in the center until it the way found us.
The basic commands he already knew and leads them all the way to "shepherd style", with breathtaking. Unfortunately, he has to make today a very great fear of leash and collar, which visits to the vet with him not easy. But it behaves well in the car, as exemplary in the veterinary practice.
We hope that he is up to our move into our new house happens not because we like them to "proof" would have us.

In this picture Ben is seen with Neo. Neo was also suspended in summer 2007 and was starving when we found him.

Neo and Ben got along well, as you can see from the image below, the wild game.

Neo in the summer of 2008 finally found a new home. Italian tourist he is liked so much (he has always shown a really engaging and fun activities), so they brought him at the end of the leave have.

In January 2008, two pups exposed to a shop and we then agreed that both take with us until a definitive accommodation for them was found.
Neo and Ben have also actively taken care of with us for the little ones:

Innerhalb weniger Wochen sind beide Welpen vermittelt worden.

Ungefähr zur gleichen Zeit wie Ben, wurde auch Luna, damals mit Welpen ausgesetzt. Ihr Nachwuchs hat leider nicht überlebt.

Wer bei Luna alles mitgemischt hat, ist schwierig zu sagen. Sie hat einen sehr eigenen Charakter, ist freundlich dem Menschen gegenüber, verteidigt "ihr" Revier allerdings gegen andere Hunde - insbesondere Hündinnen. Allerdings ist ihr Verhalten sehr "ritualisiert" und den Hunden wird auch nicht ein Haar gekrümmt. Interessanterweise werden Hunde an der Leine von ihr ignoriert!
Luna wurde von unserer Gemeinde kastriert und gechipt; somit gehört sie zu den offiziellen "Einwohnern" von Santa Cesarea Terme.

Leider ist nicht allen Straßenhunden ein so gutes Schicksal beschieden, wie z.B. Neo. Folgende Hunde haben fast zwei Jahre bei uns im Ort gelebt. Alle wurden im Sommer 2008 vergiftet!

Only one female survived and is still to be found in our village. They, too, of course, is neutered and chipped. To her
joined this winter, the beautiful, young and very playful dog, "Bianca". Their outstanding feature is a blue and a brown-black eye. Otherwise, it resembles a small side to Labrador.

Kira hat recht schnell ein neues Zuhause gefunden. Das Foto wird ihr leider nicht gerecht. Sie ist einer der freundlichsten Hunde, die mir je begegnet sind. Noch heute treffe ich sie regelmäßig auf unseren Spaziergängen und werden immer sehr stürmisch begrüßt.
