George has his MACH!

I am so proud to let you know that George got his MACH today.  That's the highest award you can get in AKC agility.  To those who think they want a puppy, Havanese live to learn and do and there is no greater reward with a dog that to build the relationship that working together brings.

Problem with email program

To All Those who have filled out a questionnaire for a puppy and emailed it to me.  Unfortunately Bell Hosting changed their email program at 3 in the morning without any warning and I now have over a thousand saved emails in the inbox.  It will take me months to get all those emails organized again so can those on the waiting list please resend your questionnaires.  Thank you.

Do not over vaccinate!

I believe vaccinations are extremely important, but over use can be detrimental to the health of the dog.

Struvite crystals in urine

I have heard from several of my puppy people whose dogs are on Acana and they are experiencing problems with stuvite crystals.  This includes the dogs living with me.  This is a first in over 16 years. 

Please write to me if you are experiencing this.  If you are not sure then your dog's urine can be tested in two ways.  First catch a sample  first thing in the morning and test for both infection and for ph level.  You don't need to go to the vet unless there is an infection.You can use the same strips that are used on people for both infection and ph.  They are available on line and at the drug store.

 

If you want to go to the vet for this, again, catch the sample first thing in the morning and DO NOT refrigerate.  

If you want more information email me.  We are in Florida at the moment so send me your number and best time for me to call you.

I am going to try to call the company sometime this week.
