top 20 gifts for chihuahua appreciation day

These adorable little spunkmeisters yapped their way into their own appreciation day. We’ve got the top 20 gifts for Chihuahua Appreciation Day so you can honor them with all the gifts and adoration they demand deserve.

It all started on May 14, 2010. That’s when Nadia Alterio declared on her website, Famous Chihuahua, to be the International Chihuahua Appreciation Day as a way of honoring her sweet little Chi Chi, Teaka.

Teaka was the inspiration behind her website, and as things often do in the world of the Interwebs, Chi-lovers took the declaration (and website) viral. Now, even though sweet Teaka died on October 30, 2017, at 16-years-old, her legacy lives on every May 14th. It’s a day to celebrate Chihuahuas and appreciate all that the pups bring to our lives.

Bloodhound

Bloodhound Basics While the name might suggest a dog that comes from Transylvania, the true nature of Bloodhounds is far different than you might expect, particularly if you’ve never worked with a Bloodhound before.

So why does this breed end up with such a nasty name? Well, before we get to that, let’s focus on what makes the Bloodhound unique in a world of hounds, spaniels, and terriers. Why would you want a Bloodhound for your family? They’re a relatively plain dog that usually wouldn’t be described as “cute” unless you’ve raised one from a puppy. As you’re about to find out, there’s always more than meets the eye, and a great pet is more reliant on personality.

Origin When you’re talking about Bloodhounds, you’re talking about an animal with a very rich and clearly defined history dating back to the Middle Ages. Essentially descended from a dog known as the St. Hubert’s Hound, the Bloodhound made its mark on history by accompanying nobility and royalty on hunting excursions.The Bloodhound’s personality is among the best in the world of dogs and makes for a loyal house pet, a friendly companion, and a great long-term friend. These dogs would be able to sniff out prey, track down a wounded animal and generally assist with various aspects of the hunt. Its legendary nose becoming more famous, the name “Bloodhound” is perhaps a reference to the way Bloodhounds were great at sniffing out the blood of wounded prey. Some report that the Bloodhound first made its way into England at around the time of the Norman Conquest under William the Conqueror, but there are no official sources to corroborate this. Nobility used Bloodhounds not only for the hunt, but eventually as tracking dogs to assist in law enforcement. One legend states that a dog was able to track down a criminal over seven miles along a route that was heavily trafficked. Pedigree

Doberman Pinscher

Doberman Pinscher Basics Come across a Doberman Pinscher in a dark alley and you can have a frightening experience indeed, particularly if you are afraid of dogs in the first place. But when we think of all the so-called “meaner” breeds of dogs, do we really mean they always make bad pets? Well, they can – if you don’t know what you’re doing in your dog selection efforts. You might be surprised to find out how appropriate a Doberman Pinscher can make as a pet as well as the quality of the companionship and loyalty they offer once you’ve formed a bond with them.

Origin In the United States, these dogs can simply be known as Dobermans, but the Doberman and the Doberman Pinscher aren’t two different types of dog – they’re just two names for the same breed. And where did this breed come from? Like some other tough breeds such as the German Shepherd, the Doberman Pinscher comes from Germany and has its closest roots tied to 19th-century life. The Doberman was named for a man called Louis Dobermann who originally bred the animals. And what was Dobermann’s profession? Tax collecting… that’s all you need to know about his need for protection. Since he had access to a number of dog breeds, Dobermann set about breeding a dog that would make a loyal companion and excellent guardian. It’s no surprise that this deliberate breeding led to the quality dog we now know as the Doberman Pinscher. Its guardian instincts and loyal companionship remain well in tact here in the 21st century and it’s not a surprise that the Doberman Pinscher has become one of the most popular and recognizable breeds across the world.

These dogs even developed water-repellent coats and webbed feet to help them retrieve waterfowl. These days, the Golden Retriever doesn’t hunt as much as it used to, but it still retains the skills that made in a successful hunter. Often referred to as Gold Retriever and Golden Labrador Retriever, it should be noted that Golden Retriever is a distinct breed from the Labrador. Pedigree

Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Cardigan Welsh Corgi Basics A low-to-the-ground dog willing to give you plenty of obedience and all the activity you can handle, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi is a prime example of a dog that can be a good challenge for those who want to develop dog leadership skills.

If so, this makes the breed among the oldest known breeds. Like many dogs, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi built up its instincts by being of a certain use to farmers… in this case, British farmers who would need a way to herd cattle without taking up a lot of space. Herding remains a strong instinct in the Cardigan to this day, and we’ll get into a little bit more detail later to explain how this behavior can manifest itself in the 21st century. Being suited for the outdoors but able to handle smaller spaces, thanks to this upbringing, the origins of the Cardigan Welsh Corgi have led to it becoming a flexible outdoor/indoor dog, capable of handling city life or rural life. As the Cardigan Welsh Corgi breed grew and was eventually recognized as its own breed in the 1930s, it attained this flexibility by living in many small-acre farms and lots. Pedigree

It’s amazing how many dog treat recipes are out there. This could be a whole new world to explore with your pup!Speaking of flavors that your dog will enjoy, you can even take any recipe and tweak its ingredients to suit your pooch’s flavor preferences. For example, you can substitute ingredients that you know your dog doesn’t like for other healthy options. Some examples of healthy dog treat ingredients include rolled oats, oat flour, rye flour, chickpea flour, kelp, unsweetened apple sauce, blueberries, baby food, low-sodium broth, canned pumpkin, sweet potato, banana, mashed potato or mashed sweet potato, kale, apple cider vinegar, cheddar cheese, flaxseeds, fish oil, carrots, and yogurt.

Experiments can often go awry, so stick to the proven stuff! Changing out ingredients is also necessary if your canine companion suffers from any food allergies or if he has an intolerance to certain ingredients. As an example, using chickpea flour is a great way to take out any wheat that your dog might be allergic to. Or, if your pooch doesn’t feel too good after having dairy, you could opt for oat milk instead of regular milk. It all depends on your pooch. Don’t stress if they have allergies because there are so many healthy options available. Eventually you’ll find something that they love.Remember, there are ingredients that are toxic to dogs, so you should never use them in any of your dog treat recipes. Those include raisins and grapes, as well as chocolate, artificial colors and sweeteners, macadamia nuts, nutmeg, xylitol, and baby food that contains garlic or onions. Avoid these ingredients at all costs, no matter how much you love them yourself. Your dog may take on plenty of your habits, but diet certainly shouldn’t be one of them!When you have extra treats that you want to store away, allow them to cool completely first. If your treats don’t contain any meat ingredients, you can just place them in an airtight container. Stored properly, they might last a couple of weeks if kept at room temperature. However, if you’ve made treats that contain meat or treats that are moist, you should store them in your refrigerator. Even then, they might only last a week. So be careful! Just because your doggo will happy scarf down spoiled treats doesn’t mean that his little body will appreciate it!Why Bother Making Your Own Dog Treats? Don’t They Sell Those In Stores?Yes, there are plenty of dog treats available in stores. In fact, there are hundreds of them: small, large, good, bad, tasty, awful, cheap, expensive. However, that doesn’t mean that your dog doesn’t deserve some home cooked food just like his humans! Sure, making your own dog treats at home can be a bit time-consuming, but it’s amazing just how many advantages there are to giving your dog some homemade treats rather than simply relying on store bought ones. There are so many reasons why more and more pet parents are taking charge and setting aside some time to make food for their beloved canine companions.

No reason not to try it!Put simply, it can be hard to find high quality dog treats that don’t contain any artificial ingredients or low quality ingredients that you don’t want your dog to have on a regular basis. Treat manufacturers fill treats with crap that you would never feed your dog if even the choice. And give your pooch to many of these, and they can soon start getting a bit chubby all over. That is never good, is it? When you bake your own treats at home, you’ll be in total control over what goes into your dog’s food, and that can help you rest easily. Especially if your dog has a sensitive tummy or he suffers from allergies. In that case, it’s always best to take control of your pup’s diet.Of course, there is also the economic factor involved. Sometimes, those tastiest doggo treats with the cleanest, natural ingredients can put quite a dent in your monthly budget.

This makes it a win/win situation for everyone involved! Peanut butter is a great source of protein, which is an essential part of any dog’s diet. It’s also high in fiber, vitamin B, vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and healthy fatty acids. It is good for humans, it is good for dogs – it’s good all around. Why not use those benefits to everyone’s gain?Benefits of peanut butter include:Improve the health of skin, coat, bones, teeth, and nailsBoost immune systemPrevent or address arthritisIncrease brain functionSpeed up bowel movementsDecrease the chances of diarrhea or constipationAssist with the creation and distribution of enzymes, antibodies, and hormonesProvide a boost in energyReduce the negative impact of free radicalsOf course, peanut butter isn’t a balanced diet on its own. Feed your dog a high quality, well balanced diet, and the peanut butter treats will be an added nutritional bonus. Remember that a balanced diet needs plenty of diverse foods and nutrients, such as proteins, fiber, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and many other goodies. Peanut butter alone cannot fulfill all that, so don’t think of it as some almighty wonder food. It’s good – but not that good. Beware of XylitolWhen shopping for peanut butter to make treats for your dog, you need to read the label carefully. Some brands of peanut butter contain xylitol which is highly toxic. If your dog does ingest peanut butter (or any other food) with xylitol, it can cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), liver damage, or seizures. In the most severe cases of xylitol poisoning, ingestion can be fatal. If you suspect your dog may have ingested xylitol, take them to the emergency veterinarian as quickly as possible. The earlier they receive treatment, the better their chances of survival. Watch Out for Sneaky Secret IngredientsOften enough, mass-produced industrial peanut butter also contains other nasty additions that a lot of low quality industrial food contains that you certainly don’t want in your dog’s diet. They have emulsifiers, sodium, and many other chemicals, all meant to add taste and provide longer shelf life. Avoid these products.It is quite simple to make your own peanut butter, free from any chemicals. It might not have an extremely long shelf life, but it will still be equally tasty and last you long enough. All it takes is some unsalted peanuts that you grind down in your common mixer until it becomes that sweet tasty paste that we all know and love. You can save money and know all the while that the peanut butter you are using is as healthy as can be - without any of the nutrients being lost. What Do You and Your Dog Think?If you try your hand at this Easy-Peasy Peanut Butter Dog Treats Recipe, let us know how it goes.

Lionhead Rabbit

Lionhead Rabbit Breed History/Origin Who could possibly resist this fluffy ball of goofiness? A popular pet that is loving and easy to train, this rabbit breed has a lot to offer to every owner. The Lionhead rabbit’s origin started in Belgium when breeders decided to mate a Swiss Fox with a Netherland Dwarf. The result was a rabbit with a genetic mutation causing wool to appear around the head and on the flanks and it became known as the “mane” gene. The Lionhead rabbit grew in popularity in Europe until finally, they made their way to the United States in the late ’90s. In 2014, this breed was officially accepted into the American Rabbit Breeders Association (ARBA). Unique in looks – but also in character, the Lionhead Rabbit has a lot of traits that make it a fantastic house pet. Also, they are often seen in beauty shows and exhibitions – where their looks are prized and exemplified. Still, there is plenty you need to know before you become an owner of a Lionhead Rabbit. Here are the most important facts about the breed. The Lionhead Rabbit’s mane is the result of a genetic mutation. Overall Description The Lionhead rabbit has a wool mane circling around their head much like a lion’s mane, hence their name. They have a high head mount, a compact body which should not exceed 3 1/2 lbs. and ears between 2-3 inches in length. Contrary to their compact body, the head of a Lionhead Rabbit can be disproportionately larger, with a well developed muzzle. It is accentuated by the mane, and as such it is the most prominent feature of the breed. The legs are usually proportional and of medium size. The ears of this breed can be quite distinct too – instead of the usual round tip and great size, the ears of the Lionhead are slightly pointed at the top and won’t exceed a length of 3 inches. Coat

Saint Berdoodle

Saint Berdoodle Basics Some big dogs a giant and intimidating creatures destined for protection. Others are lovable lugs who act more like a big, furry, lovable, and huggable roommate. The Berdoole falls into the second category. This is a dog destined to be bring nothing by smiles and cuddles into your life, despite their massive frame. Smart, social, and affectionate, the Saint Berdoodle is a gentle giant that will charm you in an instant. These friendly dogs have quickly gained popularity, mostly owing to their fluffy teddy bear looks and wonderful personality. They are intelligent, people-oriented, and make good therapy or service dogs, but it’s mostly the role of companionship that they were bred from. These are designer dogs bred for their affection and companionship. To say they deliver on those qualities would be an understatement. Saint Berdoodles inspire joy everywhere they go. As a mixed breed dog that comes from crossbreeding a Standard Poodle with a Saint Bernard, this hybrid will inherit traits from both of his parents. Needless to say, this unusual combination of breeds is attractive to many, mostly because of the potential for the combo of low-shedding coat and intelligence from the Poodle parent, as well as the calmness and sweetness of Saint Bernard. The breed might be too rare and recent to make definite conclusions, but it does seem that the breeders managed to create a new hybrid that inherits some fantastic traits from both mom and dad. The hybrid offers a winning canine combination for any owner. While loving and good natured, the Saint Berdoodle comes in a large size, which means he may not be a good fit for families with extremely young children (it’s far easier to train children to play gently with small and fragile dogs than the other way around). That said, he does do well with other dogs and family pets and his social nature means he loves to be the center of attention. He will not appreciate any other animals stealing away the attention of his owner. Because of this intense need for human interaction, he would do best in a household where he is not left on his own for extended periods of time because he has a destructive side that may surface. Does this designer breed sound like the right dog for you? Read on to find out more about the quirks and needs of the Saint Berdoodle before you adopt one of these big teddy bears. They are wonderful pets to be sure, but whether or not they will fit into your home is another question entirely. So keep your eyes glued to this page and scroll away to find out if the Saint Berdoodle will be coming home with you sometime soon. The Saint Berdoodle does well with other dogs and family pets and his social nature means he loves to be the center of attention. Origin Just like most designer dogs, the origin of the Saint Berdoodle remains unclear. No one knows with certainty when people started intentionally breeding Poodle and Saint Bernard mixes. The key word in that sentence being intentionally. There have probably been accidental crosses of the two breeds throughout history, but they weren’t recognized as a designer dog breed until recently. It’s highly likely that this hybrid was first developed during the 1980s, when designer dog craze first started. Breeders started crossing Poodles with various different breeds to get a new ‘doodle’ mix that would combine the best of both worlds. The Saint Berdoodle was one of the many designer dogs to result from this trend. This hybrid originated in the U.S and while it is a relatively need breed, the Saint Berdoodle’s lineage dates back to 1885 when the St. Bernard was first inducted into the American Kennel Club. Described as patient, friendly and outgoing, this wonderful family dog also shares some genes with the Standard Poodle, which joined the AKC in 1887 but has been around since the 17th century where he was used as a working dog in the military. Just like every other designer dog, the AKC sadly does not recognize the Saint Berdoodle. Pedigree

Labradoodle

Labradoodle Basics A popular hybrid dog for families, the Labradoodle has been gaining popularity with dog lovers for a variety of reasons. Also known as the Double Doodle, the Tri Doodle, the Standard Labradoodle, the Australian Labradoodle and the Multi-Generational Labradoodle, this breed is still relatively new on the scene. Even though it was bred to be a hypoallergenic guide dog, this breed has become a favorite in households around the world. And we’re not surprised – wonderful with kids, possessing boundless energy, playful and loving, the Labradoodle fits into most household situations. It’s hard to find a family who won’t fall for this dog. It’s almost as if this designer dog was bred purely to make homes feel complete. A smart and sociable dog, the Labradoodle will make friends with everyone he meets. Plus, his coat is hypoallergenic, making it the perfect choice for people who have allergies. Because it’s a hybrid dog, no two Labradoodles look the same, so it’s hard to achieve coat standards. But if you’re looking for a happy-go-luck dog that just wants to be loved (so it can love you in return), it’s worth your while to seriously look into the Labradoodle. So, will you be bringing on of these big a beautiful animals into your home? There’s only one way to find out. Keep your eyes glued to this page and scroll away. Everything that you could possibly want to learn about this popular hybrid is about to be revealed. A smart and sociable dog, the Labradoodle will make friends with everyone he meets. Origin Unlike most designer dogs, the origin of the Labradoodle is actually known and it’s rather sweet. Originally developed in Australia, the Labradoodle was bred to be a hypoallergenic guide dog. A vision-impaired Hawaiian woman named Pat Blum was in need of a Seeing Eye dog that wouldn’t bother her husband’s allergies. She reached out to Wally Conron in 1989, who oversaw the breeding program for the Royal Guide Dogs Association of Australia. This was to be the first purposeful crossbreeding between a Standard Poodle and Labrador Retriever. From the first litter of Labradoodles came a dog named Sultan. He had everything that Pat was looking for – he was smart, had a hypoallergenic coat and the right personality to be a wonderful guide dog. When other breeders saw how successful Sultan was in his job, they started to breed more Labradoodles. Were there “accidental” Labradoodle born before 1989? Probably, but this is the generally agreed upon origin of the delightful hybrid that’s become so beloved today. Poodle crosses are quite popular, and the Labradoodle is one of the most popular of these mixes. Although this is a cross breed, there are organizations working on having this designer breed moved into a registered breed status in the next few years. It will happen. It’s only a matter of time.

5 Reasons Why Dog Poop Doesn’t Make Good Fertilizer

If you happen to have a large and spacious yard where your doggo can “do their business”, or you’re walking along a grassy wooded park when nature calls, you could get the idea to simply leave the poop there. After all, it’s definitely biodegradable, and can surely fertilize the grass and the flowers. Or can it? Sure, we all had the idea that it’d be easier not to poop and scoop, but there are reasons why you just can’t leave your dog’s mess behind. It just isn’t as simple as we might think.For centuries, manure and compost have been used as powerful boosters for the soil, allowing crops to grow much healthier and stronger. And if you’ve ever fertilized your garden with manure, you may have noticed an unpleasant odor – it’s no surprise, considering that it is made from cow droppings and similar stuff. If manure is so good as a fertilizer, you may be wondering if your dog’s poop could be used for the same thing. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case – dog poop does not make good fertilizer. Cows and doggos are, after all, not the same, and their opposing diets make all the difference. Keep reading to find out why why dog poop doesn’t make good fertilizer.5 Reason Dog Poop Can’t Be Used for FertilizerPerhaps you’ve noticed that that doggo poop you missed to pick up a month before didn’t really dissolve into “manure”. Instead, it looks somewhat unnatural. There are several reasons for this. If you’re looking for a nutrient-rich fertilizer to use in your garden, think twice before you start eyeing up your dog’s latest “gift.” Here are five reasons why dog poop doesn’t make good fertilizer:#1 It doesn’t contain the right nutrients. A dog’s diet is high in protein which, as it breaks down, becomes very acidic and that’s not good for your plants. After all, doggos are carnivores, right? This makes their diet completely different from the herbivorous cow’s. Cow manure works well as fertilizer for vegetation because it starts out as vegetation. Get it? Cow poop is just munched up grass and hay, in a way. And that is why it can end as manure. The bottom line for dog poop is that if your dog really is creating the perfect poop (and yes, Virginia, there is such a thing as the perfect dog poop), that means they have healthy guts. And a healthy gut means that all the nutrients that were supposed to come out of the food for your dog to absorb and fuel his body with did just that and left the waste behind. The waste is not full of anything but gunk, and that’s not good for your dog or for the earth. In other words, dog poop can do more harm than good for the soil!Related: An Inside Scoop On Running A Professional Dog Poop Scooping Business#2 It might be riddled with bacteria. Your dog’s body is full of bacteria at any given moment, but it doesn’t tend to cause a problem unless his immune system becomes weakened. Though it may not make your dog sick, all of that bacteria can be passed in his stools and that’s not something you want to use in your garden. A single gram of dog feces can contain 23 million bacteria.Them being out of your doggo’s body is certainly a good thing, but then they end up in their feces. A lot of the time that’s because your dog’s gut is literally pushing out the nasty and keeping the important, life-giving and nutritionally valued in. Your dog’s waste and the bacteria in it are nothing you want to spread around.#3 You might get a fine. Even if the signs aren’t posted, your area probably imposes a fine on dog owners who don’t clean up after their dogs. It is unhealthy, irresponsible, and straight out nasty. When your doggo does its business, you should definitely dispose of the waste properly – in a baggie and then into a designated trash can. In some metropolitan areas, fines for not cleaning up after your pooch could be as high as $750. You might not think the rules apply on private property, but you could be wrong. And the fines are not there simply because leaving poop is bad manners. There are other reasons as well, and health hazards are one. If dog poop was a great manure, these fines might not even exist, as you’d be fueling the city’s parks and flowerbeds. But since dog poop can be harmful and unhealthy to the ecosystem, these fines are here to make sure they don’t end up all over the place. #4 It could contain harmful parasites. Not only does your dog’s feces contain millions of bacteria, but it could also contain parasites. Some of those parasites even have the potential to infect people – examples include parvo virus, hookworms, giardia, roundworms, and trichinosis. Imagine accidentally stepping into a piece of infected dog poop. Then bringing tiny microscopic pieces of that into your home. The health hazard here is enormous. #5 It takes a long time to break down. The final reason dog waste doesn’t make good fertilizer is that it takes a long time to fully break down. A single pile could be sitting in your yard for an entire year if it isn’t disturbed. If you’re using that as fertilizer, think about how little your plants are NOT getting. If left untouched, dog poop can sit there for a very long time. It will grow moldy, smelly, unhealthy, and eventually hard as a rock. That is nothing like proper fertilizer that gets quickly absorbed into the soil. Related: 5 Reasons Why You Should Always Pick Up Dog PoopThese five reasons alone should be enough to convince you that your dog’s poop probably isn’t your best option when it comes to fertilizer. Manure is completely common to work with in the garden, and good for the land. But dog poop is a complete opposite! So, what do you do with it then? Keep reading to find out.Can You Use Dog Poop for Compost?Just because dog poop doesn’t make good fertilizer, does that mean it can’t be composted either? Sadly, the answer to this question is “yes.” Composting a natural process through which organic waste products are broken down into a nutrient-rich substance that can be used to fertilize plants. As you’ll remember from the last section, dog poop is high in protein which produces a very acidic waste product. Not to mention, it’s the dredge of your dog’s meals and has already had all the nutrients absorbed from it (theoretically, if your dog has good gut health)The other problem with dog poop is all of the parasites and bacteria it contains – those pathogens need to be exposed to 165°F temperatures for five days to kill them and that is unlikely to happen in your backyard compost heap. There are ways to compost it safely, but you might want to start a separate compost heap to do it, just to be safe.Whether you use your dog’s poop for compost is a choice you’ll have to make for yourself. It’s your choice, but there are certainly better ways and items to compost than using dog poop. If you’re not composting it though (and be real, odds are you’re not) just make sure you dispose of it in a safe and clean way. Your dog’s pop is an indicator of what his gut looks like, so as long as his gut’s in great shape, that poop should be quick and easy to scoop and lose!In the end, dog poop is not to be messed with – in any way, shape, or form. If you are repulsed by it, there’s a good reason for that. It belongs in the trash, somewhere far from humans – and the soil too. If you really want to fertilize your gardens and lawns, then definitely purchase the right type of manure or fertilizer and leave all your doubts about doggo poop aside. Oh, and don’t forget to always pick up after your pet! After all, now you know why it’s important.

Maltichon

Maltichon BasicsCute, fluffy, and loving- the Maltichon will make your heart melt. Maltichon, or Maltese Frise, as it is also known, is a very popular designer dog breed, and with good reason. These beautiful dogs were developed by crossing the Maltese and Bichon Frise, two well-loved toy breeds. At first glance, these two white-haired, small dogs look a lot alike, but each of the parental breeds brings something unique to the mix. It’s not often that the puppies inherit only the best traits from their mom and dad, but the Maltichon is as close to being the best of both worlds as a designer dog can get.Of course, while its lovely appearance plays a role in its popularity, it’s not the only reason why the Maltichon is a sought-after breed. But not only that – the breed is popular because of its great personality as well! They are quirky, fun, energetic, and very affectionate. What’s not to like!? Perfectly suited to life in an apartment, these petite pooches get along with everybody and adapt to any family. Children, other pets, seniors, or singles- the Maltichon will fit in with ease. If you are looking for a family-friendly canine companion that will do well in an apartment setting and bring a bit of fun into the daily grind, you can’t go wrong with a Maltichon. Let’s learn more about these fun doggos.OriginIt’s not often that the origin of a designer dog breed is known. For the majority of these hybrid breeds, it’s impossible to pinpoint an exact time and place of their creation. Of course, there have surely been many accidental pairings of the Maltese and the Bichon Frise, but their intentional crossbreeding is a fairly new occurrence. It’s highly likely that the first litters of purposely bred Maltichon puppies came to be in the United States, sometime in the last twenty years. That is when many designer dog breeds that we know and love have come to be. Granted, we might not know much about the history of each of the designer dog breeds, but the origin of their purebred parents can tell us a lot about their offspring. For the Maltichon, it’s easy to see how these mixed breed puppies are bound to be ideal companions for families. Both the Bichon Frise and Maltese have been treasured as pets and lap dogs for centuries- the Maltese is even considered to be the oldest European toy breed known to man. Their long histories were bound to come together at one point – the end result is the wonderful Maltichon. Pedigree

Chorkie

Chorkie BasicsThere are many reasons why prospective dog owners may choose a specific breed. Some are looking for working dogs, while some value dogs who do well with children. Others seek a dog to fulfill certain therapeutic needs. There are almost as many reasons why owners choose their dogs as there are breeds themselves! Of course, the number one reason why most people choose their pup isn’t even remotely practical. It all comes down to cuteness. Chorkies are without a doubt one of the cutest breeds of designer dogs available to the modern dog owner. A relatively new breed created in the early 1990s, a Chorkie is the result of a crossing between a Yorkshire Terrier and a Chihuahua. So what happens when you put the two tiniest and cutest pups together? You certainly don’t end up with anything other than a cutiepie.As with most mixed breed dogs, the Chorkie’s physical appearance can sometimes have subtle variances depending on the genetic contribution of the parents. However, like their parents, they are extremely small toy-sized dogs that make for excellent indoor pets. Chorkies generally retain the long and silky hair of the Yorkshire terriers and the head shape of the Chihuahua. Their ears are generally erect like the Chihuahua’s, but can sometimes be droopy. Unlike Yorkshire terriers which are usually tan, grey and black in color, Chorkies can come in a variety of colors due to their Chihuahua genetics. It’s all quite tricky to predict with hybrids, but rest assured that no matter which mixture of traits pop up in your Chrokie, the results will be absolutely adorable.Some people also call these dogs Yorkie-Chi or Chiyorkie, but these are not common or official breed names.Chorkies are without a doubt one of the cutest breeds of designer dogs available to the modern dog owner.Origin As is the case with most new designer breeds, origins are often hazy and obscured, with no dates known for certain. Although it is impossible to trace the first intentional Yorkshire Terrier and Chihuahua crossing, sources indicate that Chorkies were initially bred in the early 1990s. This is the time when the popularity of designer breeds soared, and many of the hybrids were created with success. Sadly, nothing more is known about where these pretty pups came from. However, they have since gained a great deal of popularity and are an extremely beloved choice of designer dog. They aren’t going anywhere. This breed is growing exponentially.Pedigree

53 Dogs That Survived a Plane Crash Are Now Available for Adoption

Some dogs really seem to have bad luck all around – but this unfortunate incident might just have a fairytale-like happy ending for all pooches included. A few days ago, a plane carrying 53 dogs and 3 people from New Orleans to Wisconsin, crashed onto the Western Lakes Golf Club course in the town of Delafield, Waukesha county. The twin-engine turboprop aircraft landed on its undercarriage, but before it ended up on a golf course, it came through trees and the wings came off the aircraft, ending up several hundred feet away from it upon landing. Miraculously, though, no one was seriously hurt – human or canine – and all have only had some scrapes and minor injuries. Responders were quick to the scene and started helping dogs out of the crates they were kept in, with veterinarians and doctors at the ready to check everyone’s condition. While the dogs were being rescued from the cargo section, one of them actually jumped in the deputy fire chief’s arms and covered him in kisses – one could think of it as a form of thank you. Well, it certainly made an impression on deputy Wasielewski, as he returned less than 48 hours later to adopt the dog to his family – and she instantly recognized him when he came to the shelter. As Wasielewski said to the Washington Post – “as soon as the lady opened up the door, she bypassed my wife, jumped in my arms, and started giving me kisses“. He teared up and it was over – the decision had been made and this lucky pooch got her forever home at that very moment.While CeeCee (now named Marley) has found her family right there in the plane wreckage, most of her canine companions from the flight are still waiting on their chance to get a forever family. The remaining dogs were transported to a range of local shelters after the crash, and while their physical injuries were minor, the rescuers are unsure of the possible effect the accident could have had on their future behavior when it comes to spending time in a crate – which is why the Humane Animal Welfare Society of Waukesha (HAWS) will be giving free behavior training sessions to people who adopt any of the dogs if they turn out to have difficulties with crate training. All of the dogs are available for adoption since that’s the reason why they were transported in a plane in the first place – and are looking for a loving family to take them in and help them forget all about this unfortunate plane crash. HAWS took in 21 of the 53 dogs from the crash, and the rest of the dogs were taken in by The Washington County Humane Society, Elmbrook Humane Society, Humane Society of Sheboygan County, and Humane Society of Jefferson County, in case you’d like to meet some of these lucky survivors and maybe offer one of them a loving home.
