English Springer Spaniel

English Springer Spaniel Basics When you think about the Spaniel breeds, perhaps no better breed comes to mind than that of the English Springer Spaniel. This is a classic hunting dog that is related closely to the English Cocker Spaniel and is not only a favorite at dog shows but around homes across the world. As a friendly, loyal breed that is known for obedience and a general friendliness toward strangers, the English Springer Spaniel can make an ideal pet for both you and your family. But it takes much more than that to make a great companion: does the English Springer Spaniel really have those intangible qualities? We think you’ll find that they do. As a classic hunting and retrieval dog in the “gun dog” group, the English Springer Spaniel is versatile enough to be friendly around the home and obedient enough to make a great outdoor dog. Whether the English Springer Spaniel is the right breed for you and your family remains to be seen, but you’ll find that in terms of temperament and loyalty, the English Springer can be difficult to beat. A friendly, loyal breed that is known for obedience and a general friendliness toward strangers. Origin You don’t earn a name like the English Springer Spaniel unless you’ve got some good roots in jolly old England, and you’ll find that the history of the English Springer is closely intertwined with other similar English dog breeds. While the Spaniel itself has been around for several hundred years, the diversification and classification of the different Spaniel breeds has taken a bit longer. During the 1800s, when many dog breeds were both being developed and classified, the Spaniel breeds began splitting up as well. It wasn’t unusual for these Spaniels to take on the name of the place they were developed. By around 1910, the English Springer had finally reached a level meriting a classification of its own in the United States and the breed was soon born. But in England, this breed was already well-known, as the classification had endured since 1902. Today, we associate this excited breed as a classic of the Spaniel class, but in truth the English Springer Spaniel is a refreshing update of a classic breed.

They love human affection, especially from children, and will never leave your side when you’re at home. There are plenty of reasons why a Boxer will make a welcome addition to your family – read on to find out more about this breed. Notorious for being incredibly intelligent, Boxers are often used for service purposes like police dogs and therapy aid. Origin We’ve filled you in on the recent history of the Boxer breed. They make great pets, service dogs, and even guard dogs. But let’s go back to its past, where you’re sure to find in much more interesting. Developed in Germany in the 19th century, Boxers were used by butchers to control cattle and for hunting purposes (they could run and hold down wild boar and bison), as well as being one of the first breeds of dogs used as police and military dogs. Unfortunately, they were also used for dog fighting – a Boxer would stand up on its hind legs and “box” with its opponent. Boxers were later imported to America after World War I, and gained popularity in the late 1930s. Pedigree

Florida Police Officer Pays Vet Bill For Homeless Man’s Dog

A Florida police officer proved that his oath to serve and protect means includes fur family members, as he helped the dog of a homeless man who needed vet care. Master Police Officer Bart Wester is with the Tampa, Florida Police Department and is quite possibly my new favorite human. In a world where it’s hard to find people willing to take care of other people, to find dedicated law enforcement officers willing to help their fellow man because he is down on his luck makes my heart soar. Related: Give A Dog A Bone Week Collects Food For Pets Of The Homeless MPO Wester took notice of a local homeless man who was panhandling on the streets. The homeless man wasn’t asking for money for himself, though–he was asking for money because his beloved dog Karma needed medical attention, and the man couldn’t afford it. MPO Wester could have shooed him off, or even arrested him, but instead let his humanity shine through and offered to take the Karma and his daddy to Vets4Pets, a local veterinary hospital in Tampa known for its charitable work. The cop with a heart personally took both the homeless man and Karma in his car to the hospital and according to Vets4Pets, paid for the bill for the man, without even second thought.

United Airlines Reaches Settlement With Family Of Suffocated Puppy

United Airlines has reached a settlement with the family whose nine-month-old puppy was killed after an airline attendant insisted the dog travel in the overhead compartment. Nine-month-old French Bulldog puppy Kokito died in March on a United Airlines flight from Houston to LaGuardia after a flight attendant insisted the puppy travel in the overhead compartment. The dog suffocated, and United suspended all transportation of pets under its PetSafe plan to review policy and procedures. Related: Dog-In Held At LaGuardia Airport To Protest Death On United Airlines The settlement terms with the Queens, NY family are unknown. The flight attendant in question with the incident said that she didn’t know there was a dog in the travel bag, though the Cebellos family said they told the attendant there was a dog in the bag. Still, the attendant insisted the dog go in the overhead bin, and Sophia Cebellos said that though she felt uneasy, she trusted the flight attendant would not tell her to put the dog in a situation where there was no air. Sadly, that was not the case, and a necropsy report by Cornell University deemed the cause of death for the puppy as suffocation. The family’s attorney, Evan Oshan, argued that the death was 100% avoidable, as the family had paid for Kokito to travel as a pet on board, and told the attendant that there was a dog. Additionally, witnesses also claimed it was obvious there was a dog in the carrier, and many could hear the whimpers of the puppy at the beginning of the flight. Related: Study: United Airline Responsible For Half Of Animal Injury and Death on Planes Oshan said that it’s abhorrent that the attendant let that happen, and essentially forced the family to bear witness to the suffocation and entombing of a beloved family member who was treated like a common piece of luggage. United’s review of their PetSafe program has brought on new changes, and they partnered with Animal Humane to better assist pets traveling with families. As part of the resumed PetSafe operations, however, they are banning 20 breeds from their transport list, including French Bulldogs, as they are prone to breathing problems.

Service Dog Gives Birth To 8 Puppies In Tampa Airport Terminal

Travelers going through Tampa International Airport got to witness the surprise arrival of eight adorable puppies when a service dog gave birth in the main terminal! Two-year-old Golden Labrador Eleanor “Ellie” Rigby and her baby daddy Golden Nugget were traveling with their humans and waiting inside the main terminal of Tampa’s International Airport. Ellie and Golden Nugget are service dogs to Diane Van Atter. Related: Puppies’ Cuteness Peaks At Eight-Weeks [Video] To Van Atter’s surprise, Ellie went into labor, right there in the airport terminal.

Emily Nipps is the senior communications manager for Tampa International and said a nurse stepped out of the crowd watching the events going on to also help. The nurse helped deliver five of the puppies before she had to leave and catch her flight. Nipps said labor went on for about four hours and Atter was not only surprised by the labor in the terminal but that Ellie had eight puppies, not seven as she thought Ellie was carrying. First Responder Lt. Natalie Brown said that when they heard the call at their fire station, they couldn’t believe their ears. They hopped in their car and headed to the terminal.

Koi

Koi General description Koi are one of the most popular types of pond fish. Their bodies, which are long and powerful, are very similar to that of the wild carp. The Koi’s physical appearance also resembles that of a common goldfish, but unlike the goldfish the Koi has two barbells on the underside of its mouth. They often grow to lengths of over 24 inches and are more suitable for outdoor ponds than aquariums. Koi are one of the most popular types of pond fish. Origins Like its goldfish cousins, the Koi too originated from the common Asian carp. While the exact origins are unclear, it is widely believed that the natural color mutations in the common carp occurred across China and Japan around the same time. But it was the Japanese that started breeding these natural color mutations of carp to create them. Color While Koi mostly come in white, black, red, yellow, blue, and cream color variants, there are thousands of other color combinations that occur. Maintenance and care

Vets Warn About the Spread of a Dangerous Dog Flu Strain

Multiple cases of severe canine influenza have been recorded in San Francisco, New York, and Florida, and veterinarians warn that the situation could get much worse. Canine influenza, or as it is more commonly known, dog flu, is a highly contagious viral infection that primarily affects the respiratory system of dogs. The flu virus can mutate relatively quickly, creating new strains of influenza which are then spread further. Unfortunately, it seems that precisely this is happening in the United States, where vets report a sudden uptick in dog flu cases. According to New York Post, in less than a month, at least three dozen dogs in Brooklyn were diagnosed with canine influenza, and the prognosis is that this number is bound to grow quickly. Similarly, vets in San Francisco and Florida have seen a rise in dog flu cases- while the situation is not yet as severe as in New York, they are imploring pet parents to take all necessary precautions. Dog flu spreads fast and with ease, as it’s transmitted through droplets or aerosols that pooches let out by merely barking, coughing, or sneezing. This means that places such as doggie daycare, dog parks and other areas where your pet can come into close contact with infected dogs should be avoided- at least until the situation improves. Additionally, American Veterinary Medical Association warns pet parents that they, too, can be the reason for the virus spreading and infecting their pets. While canine influenza cannot be transmitted to humans, we can still bring the virus home to our pooches by coming into contact with an infected dog. On surfaces, the virus can survive for up to 48 hours, on clothing for 24 hours and our hands for up to 12 hours. Common symptoms of dog flu are a persistent cough, lethargy, loss of appetite, and nasal or ocular discharge. If you notice that your pooch is acting strange, be sure to take them to the nearest vet: with the right course of treatment, your four-legged friend will feel better in no time.

4 Fascinating Facts About White Cats

As fluffy as a snowball, there’s something about white cats that we can’t resist. Here are a few facts we found out about them! White cats are uncommon, unique, and simply lovely, so it’s no surprise that they’re so popular. But what differentiates white cats from other colorful kitties? Check out a few of the many fascinating facts about white cats below to learn more. A Mask of Their True Color The gene that creates a cat’s white coat basically ends up covering the actual color of the coat. The masking gene, also known as the W gene, causes a cat to be white when the dominant allele is present. On the other hand, if there is a recessive allele, the color of the coat will appear instead. Related: 5 Interesting Facts About Tabby Cats If a white female kitty were to give birth to a litter of kittens, some of her babies might feature their mother’s true coat color, while others might feature what is referred to as the masking gene that will make their coats appear white as well. When you come across a white kitten, you might notice that the coat features a small spot of color, particularly on the head. That would be the cat’s true coat color, but the spot might end up fading away as the kitten grows older. Pretty interesting, right? A Giant White Spot? In terms of genetics, the S gene, or spotting gene, could also create white areas throughout a kitty’s coat. Like the W gene, this white spotting basically covers, or masks, a feline’s actual color. However, this allele could also end up causing a cat’s coat to be totally white because the spot isn’t only in one part of the body, but rather across the whole body. Related: 7 Illuminating Facts About Black Cats Many Feline Breeds Could Feature White Coats There are a variety feline breeds that could feature a beautiful white coat, and those breeds include, but are not limited to: Persian American Shorthair Maine Coon Cornish Rex Norwegian Forest Cat Exotic Shorthair Turkish Angora Khao Manee Oriental Shorthair What About Albino Cats? All-white cats should not be confused with rare albino cats. Basically, albinism is the result of a mutation of the TYR gene. If a kitty is born without the TYR gene or with a damaged TYR gene, he will lack melanin. Therefore, an albino cat will have skin that looks pinkish in color, and these cats will also be sensitive to sunlight. And, unlike white cats, which could feature a variety of eye colors and perhaps even have two different colored eyes, albino kitties lack the melanin for eyes that are green or gold, so their eyes will be pale blue and might also appear pinkish. Now that you know a few interesting facts about white cats, perhaps you’re ready to bring one home. Consider checking your local animal rescues and shelters, as there are many white cats that are looking for their forever home. In addition to being stunning in appearance, white kitties make wonderful family pets, and each cat will be an individual with his or her own unique personality that you’re sure to fall in love with!

Fab Finds For Your Doggy Daddy’s Father’s Day

Who loves a daddy more than his doggo? Here are some great ways for Man’s Best Friend to share the love with these Father’s Day Gifts for the doggie daddy.

Scottish Straight

Scottish Straight Breed HistoryThe Scottish Straight is one of the feline breeds that make up the Scottish Breed Group, along with the beloved  Scottish Fold. More specifically, according to  The International Cat Association (TICA), the Scottish Breed Group consists of the Longhair Scottish Fold and the Shorthair Scottish Fold, as well as the Longhair Scottish Straight and the Shorthair Scottish Straight, for a total of four breeds. The group is quite unique in many ways, and it is known for being smart, affectionate, and attractive. Let’s learn more about these Scottish felines, and what makes them so special! This breed of cat has an interesting history. The very first Scottish Fold was a barn cat whose name was Susie. She was found by William Ross in 1961 in Scotland, on a farm near Coupar Angus in Perthshire. He quickly recognized that she had a standout feature: folded ears that made her look a bit like an owl. This kitty was later bred with other breeds, such as the  American Shorthair, Burmese, Exotic Shorthair, and Persian.    One important thing to realize is that the Scottish Straight is almost identical to the Scottish Fold, and they can actually be born within the same litter. The only difference is in the ears. While Scottish Folds have those iconic ears that fold down, Scottish Straight cats do not. As the name implies, their ears are straight like other breeds. The reason for this difference lies in the breed’s origins. All Scottish Folds can trace their ancestry back to that first kitty with folded ears, Susie. However, the selective breeding program did not solely produce kittens with those unique ears, as some had straight ears. Thus, all Scottish Folds that do not develop the unusual folded ears are simply called Scottish Straights. So, when you learn about the Scottish Fold, you’re also learning about the Scottish Straight, and vice versa. Again, they can both be born in the same litter, and will, therefore, showcase the same personality traits and physical attributes. Today, the Scottish Straight is known for its wonderful temperament. Many pet parents all around the world absolutely love having these kitties as part of their families. Not only are they super cute, but they also have a personality that makes them lovely companions for people of all ages. Of course, like other breeds, there are certain qualities that Scottish Straight cats will exhibit, both in looks and behavior, and it’s those qualities that help them stand out against other felines.   Breed Traits

Mastador

Mastador Basics If you are specifically seeking out a dog who will quickly feel like a member of the family, then you may have just found your newest furry relative. The Mastador is a great family dog with a tremendously friendly yet protective nature. Gentle giants in the truest sense, these large dogs might look intimidating to some, but they are actually very sweet and make perfect pets for families. Some dogs are big enough to pose a threat, while others are big enough to cuddle properly. The Mastador falls into the latter category. They love affection, being involved in family activities, as well as playing with their owners, kids and other dogs. A Mastador can be protective and will defend their home and family if they feel it’s necessary, so socialization and behavioral training should be completed at an early age. This is a dog that requires special and attentive training, so be sure to keep that in mind and make that you are up for the responsibility. The unique combination of traits is something that the Mastador owes purely to his parents. As a designer dog breed, this big sweetheart of a pooch is actually a mix of two purebred dogs- the Bullmastiff and the Labrador Retriever. The two parental breeds pass on the best of their traits to the offspring- accounting for the mix of protective and sweet in the Mastador. With a pedigree like that, it’s easy to see why this pooch is so beloved. Of course, even though the Mastador is an adaptable dog that does well in various living situations, these hybrids are not a perfect match for everybody. They require experienced owners who will know how to assert themselves as the leader of the pack. Similarly, their energy levels and size should also be considered before you make a final decision. So, is the Mastador the dog that you’ve been looking for? Well, the good news is that you’ve come to the right place to find out. All you need to do is keep your eyes glued to this page and scroll away. Everything that you could possibly want to know about these glorious canines is about to be revealed. So, to find out if your family would make a perfect match for the Mastiff and Lab mix, read on! The Mastador is a great family dog with a tremendously friendly yet protective nature. Origin While his lineage hales from the United Kingdom (specifically Bullmastiff) and Newfoundland, Canada (specifically Labrador), the Mastador hybrid actually originated in the United States. Yet, apart from the place where this rare and impressive breed was first developed, there’s not much else we do know about the origin of the Mastador. The majority of designer dog breeds faces the same “issue” mainly because of the fact that there have always been around, but rather than being intentionally developed, they were often the results of accidental pairings between purebred pets. There’s very little documented history about hybrids. It’s uncertain when specific breeders even began specializing in the Mastador. No breeders have come out and claimed that the Bullmastiff and Labrador Retriever mix was their creation, so there’s no way to know when or who first bred Mastadors intentionally. However, the general information er have about hybrids gives us an idea about the Mastiff and Lab mix, too- it’s highly likely that first litters of this new breed were born sometime in the last 15 to 20 years. Unfortunately, we aren’t able to determine much more of a specific history than that. Pedigree
