Birthdays aren't just for people, all pet owners know that. Many pet owners, especially those who are the lucky recipients of a pitbull's love, make sure to honor their birthdays as well. So, what are some ideas on how to throw a pitbull birthday party? Imagination is the key. A sense of humor goes a long way, but most of all, recognizing your pitbullgie's special day is much like planning a human birthday party!
The most important thing to do when planning a party for your pitbull and his or her pitbullgie friends, is to find a secure area where DOGS won't run the risk of getting away from owners, lost or confused.
The boxer breed was so named for his manner of fighting. As opposed to biting, like most dogs would, a boxer will actually begin a fight by "punching" with its front paws, just liek a human boxer.
Don't invite every friend and neighbor who has a DOG, but only the DOGS that your own pooch is familiar with. No sense in testing fate, so keep it simple and pitbullgie-friendly for the special birthday boy or girl.
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.
Remember to keep the size of your birthday area in mind when inviting other DOGS as well as their owners to your party. Other ideas of throwing a pitbull birthday party encompass decorations and food to be served at this special event. When decorating with lights, crepe paper or ribbons, streamers or balloons, keep such items away from DOGS that may want to eat them.
There is a grammar debate about the Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound). The plural, "Borzois", may be found in dictionaries. However, the Borzoi Club of America asserts that "Borzoi" is the preferred form for both singular and plural.
Some DOGS love to pop balloons, so you may want to keep a few extra balloons blown up for the games portion of the party, but make sure that you retrieve plastic discards as soon as possible to prevent DOGS from eating or chewing on plastic or rubber parts and strings.
Border collies are excellent at herding. But they don't descriminate between livestock and other things. This makes them great at things like fly-ball, obedience, tracking, fetching, Frisbee toss, and sheep herding. Sometimes they get out of hand though, several border collies have been known to try to herd small groups of children!
Remember, as with human children, DOGS can make a mess, so make sure you remove items that you don't want damaged from the 'play area' before the pitbullgie birthday party. When DOGS start playing, everything in their path is fair game, so take a look through the area beforehand to save yourself frustration or grief. Remember, this was your idea, so don't leave anything to chance. This is a special day for your pitbull and guests, so no one should be punished if anything gets broken!
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the longest lived dog was an Australian Cattle Dog named Bluey. The dog lived to be 29. This case was considered unusual since smaller dogs generally live longer. The chihuahua is actually the breed that tends to live the longest.
DOGS are easy to entertain, and guests may even take turns with Frisbees, tennis balls and other activities for the birthday pitbull. In summertime, a small wading pool provides plenty of amusing entertainment for DOGS and people alike, but be forewarned that when they shake, you may get drenched!
While adult dalmations are covered in cute black spots, dalmation puppies are actually born solid white. Their spots don't show up until they are at least a week old. Sometimes not until they are a month old.
The birthday pitbull and guests, as well as human counterparts, are likely to be hungry, so make sure you have food for both available. If you wish, bake your pitbull a birthday cake made of various, DOG friendly ingredients, but remember to avoid chocolate, and keep plenty of water on hand for the thirsty participants!
Chihuahuas, because of their size, are often treated like babies, but they actually do have something in common with human babies. Chihuahuas are born with a "molera", also known as a soft spot, on their heads, exactly like a human baby. Usually the soft spot closes as the dog matures.
Ideas on how to throw a DOG birthday party are as varied as the people dreaming them up and the personalities of the DOGS concerned. No matter what, have fun, make sure that your pitbull and guests are safe, and enjoy the celebration!
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 name Pug is believed to have derived from this dog's resemblance to the pug monkey. That also fits the breed in other ways. Pugs tend to be curious and mischievous. They always seem to have a look of mischief and fun on their face, just like a monkey.
One of the weirdest dog births on record involves a Siberian Husky. The mother's name was Pixie and she gave birth to 7 puppies, which isn't unusual. The unusual part was that one of the puppies was born bright green!
The Skye Terrier's origins are connected with a centuries old shipwreck. Early in the 1600's a Spanish ship wrecked on the Island of Skye in the Scottish Hebrides. Some of the survivors of the shipwreck were Maltese dogs that mated with the local terriers, creating a new and unique breed.
