Rottweiler for rent

Today´s subject line is rather controversial don´t you think?

We wrote it cause we came across a news article about a pet rental service called Flex Petz currently available in Los Angeles, San Diego and planning to open in New York, San Francisco and London.

The thing looks like a new franchise....

Founder lady Marlena Cervantes likes to call it "shared pet owenership" and not pet rental.
The dogs that are beeing rented or "shared" usually come from humane societies and are beeing taken care by Marlena which provides food, shelter and vet care.

While we find that it´s great to take care or adopt a dog, it could be confusing if it´s constantly beeing handled by new people.

Imagine a rotty with his strong, dominant behaviour not knowing who his boss is...
hmmm not a good idea me thinks.

On the other hand, we approve rottie owners who spend some time with elderly people who are alone as well as orphan children and so on.

There are actually quite a few rotties who are doing this kind of therapy and love it. That´s the sweet side of the breed.

If you´d like to check the full story of the pet rental thing here is the link:

Now go have a stroll with your rottie.

All the best,

Say goodbye to Jack

Today´s message is a tribute to a great dog named Jack who was a beautiful black Labrador that burrowed through smoking debris after Sept. 11 and flooded rubble after Hurricane Katrina in search of survivors.

Unfortunately Jack has died of cancer. He was 12 years old.

It appears that now people are debating wheater he had gotten sick of if he hadn´t been exposed to the toxic air of the Word Trade Center.

Other people say cancer in dogs at that age is common.

Hmmmmmmmmmm

Yes cancer is common and is the number one cause of dog death, also in rotties.
However did you know that 40 years ago cancer wasn´t the number one cause?

We wonder why............

Can you say....................preservatives in pet food??

Cancer is common in dogs that age yes but it shouldn´t.

Anyway, thanks again Jack for beeing so brave and helping human kind, may your spirit rest in peace.

All the best to you and your rottie.

American Pitbulls fight update

The other day we sent you an email about the famous football player involved in the american Pitbulls fight biz.

Now we are sending you a link where you can find out more about it and help fighting this sick business.

Here it goes: http://www.hsus.org/hsus_field/animal_fighting_the_final_round/recent_activities/nfl_keeps_vick_away.html

And now a happy story of how a small Chihuahua saved the life of a 1 year old boy.

The little boy was playing in the backyard when he was approached by a rattle snake who was getting ready to bite him.
Zoey (the Chihuahua) stepped in the middle between the baby and the snake and took the bites saving the boy.

Luckily Zoey survived after a trip to the local vet.
To get the full story go to: http://www.nbc11.com/family/13734977/detail.html

Now go have some fun with your rottie.

My Rottie wakes me up

Was walking the streets the other day and started talking with a lady that owns a shoe shop nearby where I live.

This lady happens to own a male rottie who lives with her and her son in an apartment.
We both agreed that rotties should not live in an apartment but she told me that she is so in love with him that cannot give him away.

This lady works on alternate days in the shop and when she does not open it in the morning her son will.

One morning, when it wasn´t her turn, her rottie entered the bedroom and gave her a big kiss on the face just as if he was saying "hey, wake up it´s time to go to work!!".
This is just an exemple of how intelligent these beautiful breed is.

Have a great day.

P.S The lady also told me that once she brought her rottie in the shoe store where he immediately guarded the property and would´t let any customer in.....
Not a good biz decision but proof of the guardian insticts...

American Pitbulls

Just finished watching 360 on CNN and must admit I was shocked by a report on Pitbull fights.
It appears that a known football player is involved in the Pitbull figths biz.

54 Pits were found and all were trained for fighting purposes. Those who would not show any fighting spirit were killed because they would´n be helpful.

The fights were usually watched by more than 40 people and the bets starting at USD 5000
Whoever imagines that in their community this does not happen think again. It may be much closer than you think!

Especially in innercities it is very common to find the fights which are considered to be an entertainment. (sick entertainment I might add)

I am sure that in some cases although not as much as with Pits, rottweilers are also used for these fights.

If you ever hear about some of this underground fights make sure to report them to your local authorities so we can make an effort to stop it.

Take care

Feeding the right food

As you know from pasts newsletters we firmly believe in home made cooking for your rottweiler rather than feeding dog packaged food which is usually loaded with all kinds of crap including chemicals, preservatives and so on.

Just remember the last great pet food recall and you know what we are talking about.
Now let´s say that you decided to incorporate home made food into your rottie´s diet, well great but there are some guidelines that you should follow.

As per Andrew Lewis book ( http://as2006.dogsecrets.hop.clickbank.net ) you want to make sure that you provide all the nutritional blocks that keep your rottie healthy.

This foods include animal protein combined with vegetables, pasta, rice, cereals and other foods that give the right combination of protein, carbs, fats and vitamins.

Generally meets that are lower in calories such as turkey, chicken (remember no bones) and lamb are better and so is salmon for fish. (great omega 3 source).
Good vegetables include carrots, broccoli and leafy greens.

For carbs you can use pasta (with some sauce will keep your rottie more motivated to eat it..), rice, oatmeal.

Finally you can also feed fresh fruit such as banans, apples, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.

Some human diet foods you want to absolutely avoid to feed your best friend include:
Chocolate, pastries, bread (especially white) as well as others that are listed in the book.

Remember, cooking will take more time than feeding packaged food but ultimately will be better for your rottie and save you some trips to the vet along the way.

Have a gread day.

No Heat Cycle

What happens if your female rottie does not have a heat cycle every 6 to 7 months?

One of the main causes is a fancy word named hypoestrinism which is an estrogen deficiency.
In other words your rottie does not have any ovulatory secretion or only partial and the heat cycle does not appear.

Usually the health of your dog is not affected by this condition however, if you would like her to have puppies you should talk to your vet and consider hormonal treatment.
Another possibility is that your rottie is in her heat cycle but does not show any visible signs of it (bleeding/swelling of the vulva).

Your only guess is to watch if there is an increased interest of the male dog population around your yard.........

Some vets argue that if you have a female rottie (valid for other breeds as well) and you don´t want her to have puppies after 4 years or so, then you should seriously consider to spay her because according to them it is not normal to have soo many heat cycles and not getting pregnant.

Complications might include hormonal imbalances and pyometra which is a potentially deadly infection of the uterus.

Have a great day with your best friend!!!
All the best,
Andy & Dinna

The rut and heat cycle

Today´s message will be of special interest to all the owners of a female rottie.
The rut is the period in which the female rottie reaches sexual maturity and starts producing fertile eggs.
It usually starts between seven and ten months.
During this period your female starts to bleed until 10 to 12 days. Another sign is the swelling of the vulva.
Important fact: during the first 8 days the female rottie will usually not accept a male partner.
Important fact 2: You should never let the coupling happen during her first heat cycle. Start from the second or even better the third. This will ensure that your dog has reached full maturity. (not just sexual....)
After 8 to 10 days the bleeding will stop and a white secretion will appear. This is the time when the ovules are produced and when she will accept the male.
The ideal period for reproduction will last about 4 to 6 days after the appearance of the white secretion.
In the next issue we will take a look as to why sometimes there is no heat cycle.
Meanwhile, to all of you living in the US we wish you Happy 4th of July.
