Life With Big Dogs!: H and M - January and February 2015

http://lifewithbigdogs.blogspot.com/2015/03/h-and-m-january-and-february-2015.html

Sunday, March 1, 2015. H and M - January and February 2015. We are so close to being caught up! I took a fair bit of video and pictures during these two months, but I am soooo ready to be all caught with the "Life Of Miley" files that they're all going into one post no matter what! Actually, January and February were a lot more of the same thing. You know, things like Miley being such a lady or goofy. Still more hiking in January, complete with some very unseasonably gorgeous and warm weather! Yeah, Mile...

Life With Big Dogs!: Book of the Month

http://lifewithbigdogs.blogspot.com/2010/03/book-of-month.html

Monday, March 8, 2010. Book of the Month. My pick for Book of the Month is "Born to Win, Breed to Succeed" by Patricia Craige Trotter. If ever there was a book that you should read if you wanted to learn more about and get excited about the sport of purebred dogs, then this is the one! Another aspect of correct conformation is correct movement. The author describes why the trot was picked as the best gait to evaluate a dog at in the show ring. She also describes how the individual bones fit toget...Trott...

Life With Big Dogs!: Miley's First Agility Class!!

http://lifewithbigdogs.blogspot.com/2015/06/mileys-first-agility-class.html

Friday, June 12, 2015. Miley's First Agility Class! Wednesday night was Miley’s first foundation agility class! Who knows what training challenges Miley and I will have ahead of us? I do know that it's about time to start giving it a go! I set pretty realistic goals for Miley and I’m glad that I had a sort of mental game prepared before we entered the class. Because I did not have much of a dog for about the first half! Suddenly I had a very attentive and excited dog! I was more than a little thankful fo...

Life With Big Dogs!: Books of the Month

http://lifewithbigdogs.blogspot.com/2011/02/books-of-month.html

Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Books of the Month. Therefore, in each of my monthly book review posts I will review one general dog related book and one great dane related book. I'm really excited about this and I hope that for those interested, it helps to give you some ideas for books to augment your library.:). He still isn't allowed to go frolicking off leash as of yet, but his exercise will be getting bumped up and I can start getting that boy back into the kind of shape that I prefer him to be in!

Life With Big Dogs!: Book of the Month

http://lifewithbigdogs.blogspot.com/2009/05/book-of-month.html

Friday, May 22, 2009. Book of the Month. This month I finished reading "Canine Massage: A Complete Reference Manual" by Jean-Pierre Hourdebaigt. While I haven't read any other canine massage books to compare it to, I thought it was a really great book that was very informative. The first section of the book talks about general canine annatomy. There are illustrated diagrams of the skeletal structure as well as the muscular system from different angles. I think this alone is VERY helpful! While this book ...

Life With Big Dogs!: Ramona Falls Hike & More!

http://lifewithbigdogs.blogspot.com/2009/06/ramona-falls-hike-more.html

Friday, June 12, 2009. Ramona Falls Hike and More! The Ramona Falls hike is rated moderate and is a 7.1 miles loop with about 1,000 ft. of elevation gain. I didn't think that it was bad at all! I usually like our "big" hikes to be at least 3 hours long and more like 4 hours. But again, I was a bit sore and not as into it as I usually am. The dogs still had plenty of fun and got lots of exercise since they were running around off leash. When we were almost to the falls we found, * gasp* , SNOW! I opted to...

Life With Big Dogs!: Book of the Month

http://lifewithbigdogs.blogspot.com/2010/11/book-of-month.html

Thursday, November 4, 2010. Book of the Month. My pick for Book of the Month for November is "Genetics of the Dog" by Malcolm B. Willis. Just based on the title alone I'm sure that you're thinking this book would be rather dry. I am happy to say that the author does an excellent job of making a potentially mind boggling topic pretty easy for the layman to understand and makes it interesting to boot!

Life With Big Dogs!: Book of the Month

http://lifewithbigdogs.blogspot.com/2010/06/book-of-month.html

Thursday, June 10, 2010. Book of the Month. My pick for Book of the Month for June is "Grow Your Pups With Bones" by Dr. Ian Billinghurst. I reviewed one of Dr. Billinghurst's other raw feeding books back in February. I know that it can be hard to listen or read something from a person who is so vehement about feeding raw, but there is good information inside the book that can be quite beneficial. You just kind of need to have a thicker skin when reading this book. How people feed their dogs has gotten t...

Monday, September 14, 2009. Book of the Month. My pick for Book of the Month is "Enthusiastic Tracking" by William Sanders. I have to say, this book was very enjoyable to read! I just found your blog and as a fellow Dane lover I wanted to post and say Hi. I will have to check out your book recommendation. I am just starting on the adventure of tracking with my 15 month old Dane, Falkor.and we can use all the help we can get. LOL Have you read The Audible Nose by Judi Adler?
