Dogs – Don’t you just love em’

Seeing that my last few blogs, may have been on the heavy side, here is something to lighten the mood...Another one of my infamous  dog jokes... Two Irish nuns have just arrived in the USA by boat and one says to the other, "I hear that the people of this country actually eat dogs." "Odd," her companion replies, "but if we shall live in America , we might as well do as the Americans do." Nodding emphatically, the mother superior points to a hot dog vendor and they both walk towards the cart. "Two dogs, please," says one. The vendor is too pleased to oblige, wraps both hot dogs in foil, and hands them over the counter. Excited, the nuns hurry to a bench and begin to un-wrap their 'dogs'. The mother superior begins to blush and, then, staring at it for a moment, leans to the other nun and whispers cautiously, "What part... did you get...?"

Put your money where your mouth is.

I'm sure a lot of our regular visitors will know already why we started Pedigreedogs.ie If not we make reference to the same in the "About US" section on the site. Recently there has been a lot of talk and mainly anger at the proposed Department of Agriculture & Rural Development, (Animal Health & Welfare Policy Division) Welfare of Animals Bill in Northern Ireland. Basically a person commits an offence if they show a dog that has been docked after the said bill has been enacted at a show where the public pay an admission fee I think we all knew that this was on the cards after it was introduced at some shows in the UK The following couple in the UK have stepped up to the mark, and put their money where their mouth is in relation to fit for function, Hunt, Punt, Retrieve (HPR) dual purpose dogs (i.e. used in the field and then shown at conformation dog shows) The Docked and Denied campaign grew from an idea that Maxine McCullough and Wendy Oxman had on…

Cancer in Dogs.

We never think it will happen to us, but I'm sure we all know somebody that has lost a dog to Cancer. It seems to be more prevalent now than ever. Depending on whom you talk to, some blame it on the diet we feed our beloved dogs, others on over vaccination, spot on treatments for ticks & fleas,whilst others say it's genetic As with human medicine, there are great advancements in Veterinary Care in Ireland, and with the introduction of Continuing Veterinary Education from 2012, all Vets must attend at least 2 - 3 refresher courses per year, in order to continue to practice in the state.

Cancer can be treated, and in many cases it can be cured. The success of treatment will depend on the type of cancer, the treatment used and on how early the tumour is found.
