While it is entirely possible for any pitbull to get sick at any time, whether in a kennel or not, there are many ways to reduce the risk of your pitbull developing an illness during his or her stay at a kennel.
The Lowchen, a small, somewhat rare breed of dog, is native to France. It's called "petit chien lion" or, "little lion dog". This is due to its fur growth, as it resembles the mane of a lion.
Kennel Cough (Canine Infectious Tracheobronchitis) is one of the most common illnesses among kennel DOGS. A good kennel will insist that all DOGS are vaccinated for kennel cough. Unfortunately, Kennel Cough can be caused by multiple organisms, so vaccination isn�t always totally effective.
The Papillon is a small dog breed with distinctive large, fringed ears that earned it its name, the French word for butterfly. The Papillon is believed to be one of the oldest of the toy breeds.
One way to reduce your pitbull�s risk of Kennel Cough, as well as other diseases, is to make sure that you supply the kennel with your pitbull�s own personal items. There is a bigger chance of transferring diseases when the DOGS share personal items. If you supply the kennel with your pitbull�s own personal gear, such as food and water bowls, food itself, toys or bedding, it will serve a dual purpose. It will lower the risk of the pitbull getting sick and it will also help the pitbull to be more comfortable and stay closer to his daily routine.
The name bernese mountain dog is a rough translation of the German "berner sennenhund", which literally means "bernese alpine herdsman's dog". The breed's original name was "durrbachler", after an inn where these farm dogs were bought and sold.
By choosing a kennel that insists on vaccinations, supplying the kennel with your pitbull�s personal items and ensuring that the kennel is clean and well ventilated, you can greatly reduce the risk of your pitbull getting sick during his stay.
French poodles were originally used as hunting dogs, but, because their thick coats proved a problem in the bush and water, their owners started clipping them. They left hair on the ankles to protect against rheumatism, which is why poodles sometimes appear to have unusual haircuts.
For a little added peace of mind, you could select a kennel that has staff on hand 24 hours a day and access to an emergency vet.
Newfoundlands have webbed feet, just like ducks. They also have extremely water-proof fur. Those features, as well as their great strength, loyalty and willingness to learn, make newfies great candidates to work as water rescue dogs.
While freak accidents can happen, following these steps should help to ensure that your pitbull�s kennel stay is both healthy and happy.
The Broholmer is a breed that is recognized only in Denmark. It was thought extinct in the 1960's but, in December of 1974, a purebred Broholmer popped up in Finland. This dog was a male, and the owners hoped to find a female for him to mate with, but it never happened. While still recognized as a breed, an example has yet to appear again.
The greyhound is the fastest breed of dog. It is capable of running at speeds of around 45 miles per hour. Greyhounds are excellent for hunting and racing, but they are notorious for laziness, often preferring to cuddle on a couch, rather than run. This makes them an ideal house pet.
The Giant Schnauzer is known in german as "Riesenschnauzer", meaning "the giant". It should closely resemble the other Schnauzers, miniature and standard. However, they are really completely unique and unrelated breeds. They have just developed in such a way, over time, that they look similar to each other.
