Puppy Intensive Care by Myra Savant-Harris R.N.
This book caught my attention when I decided to buy some dog books from Amazon. Put it in the list with the other ten books and all arrived in two shipments instead of one shipment. Gosh, I thought by ordering more I could “save” some money on the custom fee. The custom fee is based on a range of total price so I bought books to total the maximum limit allowed of that fee range. I had to pay double fee. Anyway, all the books worth my money. Myra Savant-Harris R.N., the author of the book, was a registered nurse (now she was retired from nursing). She is also a breeder.

Knowing Your Dog’s Body Language
I got this interesting article from STRONGDOGZ™ KENNELS ==== Knowing Your Dog’s Body Language Mounting When your dog either mounts another dog or stands above another dog by putting his front paws on the other dog’s back, he is asserting his dominance over the other dog. Mounting other dogs isn’t just a male characteristic. High-ranking females do it, too. Owners wonder why male dogs mount other males or why females mount at all, but mounting is more often related to social status than to sex. Humping There’s often sexual intent in this behavior, even if the dog doing the humping [read more]

How Well Do Dogs See At Night?
May 8th, 2010 admin ScienceDaily (Nov. 9, 2007) — A lot better than we do, says Paul Miller, clinical professor of comparative ophthalmology at University of Wisconsin-Madison. “Dogs have evolved to see well in both bright and dim light, whereas humans do best in bright light. No one is quite sure how much better a dog sees in dim light, but I would suspect that dogs are not quite as good as cats,” which can see in light that’s six times dimmer than our lower limit. Dogs, he says, “can probably see in light five times dimmer than a human can see in.” Dogs have many adaptations for low-light [read more]
