Terrier Group

I am so excited. It's coming soon. We don't know exactly when, but we will be moving up soon. The American Russell Terrier Club members have worked for this for over 16 years. Everything is ready to go. The breed standard is written and has been well received by the AKC judges and majority of the fanciers. The way it's written will help preserve the breed's hunting qualities and size. Thank you England for creating this breed. And thank you Australia for taking it seriously and getting the breed recognized in the kennel club world. Hopefully, we'll know soon when the day will be that the once rejected Russell Terrier in America will have its place in the pure bred AKC dog world. I wonder what number breed we will be in AKC? Such exciting times for the breed.

Skin and Coat

I have been learning more and more about dog nutrition. It is so interesting. I have a dog who doesn't have the greatest coat. He is lacking undercoat and he loses hair during certain times of the year. I think some lines genetically need more nutrients than others. For various reasons they cannot absorb as much from their food as other dogs do. Along with this new food, I am trying one of the supplements. He's been on it for about 2 weeks now and it looks like he is growing more undercoat. I guess time will tell but it's definitely not falling out anymore. This is a whole food supplement, not chemically produced vitamins and minerals. They are all natural. He loves them, but this little guys loves everything. He's definitely not a picky eater.

My New Dog Food

I just started using a new dog food that I am excited about. It has great fresh ingredients. Over the years I have learned what good ingredients are in dog food. This one is outstanding. I am impressed with the level of knowledge that has gone into the formulation of this food. It is shipped via the internet and with the current price of gas, even having to pay a shipping fee is cheaper than picking it up in the store. Plus if you order on autoship, you never have to worry about running out! And the best part of all is that my dogs are loving it. The food is called Life's Abundance.
