Mourning Dove Baby

A mourning dove used the nest  that the Robin used to use  to lay their eggs.  She has two babies but sometime last week, one of them fell and died. Yesterday morning, we saw the Mom teaching/showing her baby how to fly and looked like she was encouraging  the baby to do it.   Few hours later, we saw that the baby was on our fence already but was caught on the rain, I felt bad.  But I guess that's how they learn and suvrvive in the wild.  


Reliable Kennel Club Sales

When searching for a new pet, some people want a specific type of dog breed. The best way to legally buy a dog that's certified to be pure bred is to visit a local kennel club. The  german shepherd is an example of a very popular dog that's used for companionship, service and security. This canine has been bred for centuries throughout central Europe and eventually other western countries.

Certainly, most families want to get a puppy that's of a pure breed. It is easier for a family to train a puppy rather than an adult dog that may be stubborn. Official kennel clubs sell puppies that come from a pedigree of a particular breed. There may be documents that confirm the pureness of a liter based on the parents. Kennel clubs often use the same females and males to produce multiple liters for years. Additionally, such clubs also welcome new members that are qualified to reproduce and continue a pure heritage of a particular breed.

When looking for top german shepherd breeders, it's a good idea to consider some of the different characteristics of this particular breed. For example, German shepherds come in color variations like black and tan or pure black. A shade of red or blonde may also be available in some of these popular dogs. When a puppy is purchased from a kennel club, there may be a breeding contract involved. Buyers should review the contract carefully in order to determine the pup's involvement in reproduction.

Essential Tips For People Looking To Buy A Dog This Year

You might think that buying a new pet for your family is a good idea, but you first need to ensure you have the time, and the ability to look after one properly. This is especially true when it comes to dogs, as they need a lot of love and attention. With that in mind, today we’re going to spend a few minutes discussing some tips that could make your life that little bit more simple. The decision to purchase a dog should never be taken lightly, and you should always consider all the aspects before ploughing ahead. That said, having a new little hairy friend in the house can be good for both yourself, and the rest of your family. 
Contrary to popular belief, most dogs are very placid, but even if you manage to somehow choose one that isn’t the easiest dog to train, there are plenty of specialist places you can take the animal to ensure it’s behaviour gets better. Far too many people give up on troublesome canines and send them back to the shelter, but this really isn’t fair. Anyway, here are some tips to make the buying process a little easier…

Buy From Homeless Dog Shelters 

While there are obviously many different breeders all around the country, you want to buy your animal from a shelter. This is because there are lots of healthy dogs that will eventually be put to sleep if they’re not rehoused. You won’t be able to have the same kind of selection as you would when looking at different professional breeders, but that doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, you want a companion, and so looks should always come second. 

Buy All The Equipment And Accessories First

To look after a dog properly, you’re going to need a good quality bed, a harness, a walking lead, and some bowls for food and water. While this isn’t going to cost the earth, it’s a good idea to get hold of all of this before purchasing the animal. That way, your new friend will be able to enter their new home with all their own things already in place. This should make the transition a little less stressful for them. You obviously need to give them their own space when you first bring them back, but this is much easier if they have their own bed. 

Plan Your Walking Routes

You will obviously need to walk your dog at least twice each day to ensure it gets enough exercise and remains in perfect health. Many people overlook this fact, only to realise they live in an area where this isn’t as viable as they thought. So, before you settle on your final choice of animal, ensure you’ve spend some time thinking about exactly where you’re going to walk them, and where you will be able to let them off the lead for a run. 

Now you’ve read through those tips, I’m confident you’re ready to bring a dog into your loving home. Good luck with finding a suitable one. 

Catch you later!
