Joys and challenges of life in the company of dogs. Saturday, May 23, 2009. Kirby's DNA Results are In! The results of Kirby's Canine Heritage. DNA breed test have arrived! This is not surprising according to the CH people."very few mixed breed dogs have a breed listed in Primary. The dog must have a purebred parent to have a breed in this category. Even then, the breed can end up in Secondary.". Ok, that was totally unexpected. In the Mix DNA:. Says CH: "We have the markers for 106 breeds. The "In the m...

Scruffy Dogs: DNA Update
http://scruffydogs.blogspot.com/2009/05/dna-update.html
Joys and challenges of life in the company of dogs. Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Also, she provided some clarity on the numbers. There is approximately 23% to 25% Chihuahua in Kirby. I asked if that meant a grandparent was all or part Chihuahua or if it just all adds up to that percentage. She said that when it states that Chihuahua is Secondary, that could be more than one Chihuahua in his background, and "it certainly doesn't mean that a purebred Chihuahua was in the woodpile either.".

Scruffy Dogs: Mystery Solved: Podengo
http://scruffydogs.blogspot.com/2010/12/mystery-solved-podengo.html
Joys and challenges of life in the company of dogs. Saturday, December 11, 2010. This afternoon I was chatting with a dog-loving friend who asked me if I'd ever heard of the Podengo, a scruffy dog breed from Portugal. I hadn't. This is rare. I'm usually the one my friends turn to and ask: "Do you know what kind of dog that is? As a youth I was desperate to get a puppy, so I memorized the Encyclopedia of Dogs. Dog breed of Portugal. To destroy a breed. So let's hope, for the sake of the adorable Poden...

Joys and challenges of life in the company of dogs. Saturday, January 05, 2013. Morning Choreography and Wishing for Another Boat. Of course, first thing in the morning (which, for Remy, is the crack o’dark) the puppy is all recharged from a night in the crate and is ready for action. Jamie describes the choreography of getting Remy and Kirby outside and fed in the morning as being like the old puzzle. The morning scenario goes something like this:.

http://scruffydogs.blogspot.com/2006/07/baxter-gets-acupuncture.html
Joys and challenges of life in the company of dogs. Monday, July 17, 2006. This time we were visiting in Arizona and I decided it was time for a second opinion, so I went to see Dr. Pema Mallu, DVM. I bought some Innova EVO for his dry food and picked up some Merrick's "Grammy's Pot Pie" and "Thanksgiving Day Dinner" in which to mix Baxter's herbs. We went back for one more round of acupuncture before we left town. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). See the Adopt a Scruffy Dog Blog! Panting at the Beach.

http://scruffydogs.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Joys and challenges of life in the company of dogs. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. The Beach is the Best. Yesterday we went to the beach. This wasn't any ordinary trip to the beach, it was our almost-annual beach trip with some friends, two of whom are Canadians who make it a priority to visit Oregon's beautiful beaches on every trip out here. Remy's first definitive act at the beach was to storm a crumbling sand castle and claim it as his own. Then Remy noticed something.dark, human figures bobbing on ...

Scruffy Dogs: April 2015
http://scruffydogs.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Joys and challenges of life in the company of dogs. Thursday, April 09, 2015. Remy is Finally Learning to Speak Dog. Like many teenagers, Remy was a bit socially awkward. At least in terms of dogs (he has always been quite adept at interacting with humans). His dog-awkwardness is not something I have wanted to admit, so I haven't made much of an effort to write about it. But I'm happy to report that Remy is finally figuring things out, and I've decided that it bears a blog post. The tail is wagged, its p...

Scruffy Dogs: Amtrak Allows Pets: But it took a bill in Congress
http://scruffydogs.blogspot.com/2015/03/amtrak-allows-pets-but-it-took-bill-in.html
Joys and challenges of life in the company of dogs. Monday, March 09, 2015. Amtrak Allows Pets: But it took a bill in Congress. Apparently it took a bill in Congress to make Amtrak do something it should have done a long time ago. No, it's not perfect. According to The Bark. For now, pet kennels must fit within Amtrak's carry-on luggage size limits, 28" x 22" x 14". That's bad news for big dogs, but it is larger than the standard in-cabin size for pets traveling by plane. Not the packaged food/snack bar ...
