CANAAN DOG

COUNTRY: Israel
WEIGHT: 35-55 pounds
HEIGHT: 19-24 inches
COAT: Medium-short, harsh, straight; tail plumed
COLOR: White with large markings in either black, brown or red; browns and black, with or without white markings
OTHER NAMES: Kelef K'naani
REGISTRY: FCI, AKC,CKC

The Canaan Dog has witnessed the birth of the world's greatest religions—Judaism, Islam and Christianity—and has followed the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth and other Biblical prophets. Queen Jezebel is reputed to have had one of these dogs tied to her throne with a golden chain. They survived long years in the desert, longer even than the travail of Moses and his people. Some hunted with the Bedouins and herded their flocks; others were guards for the Druze on Mount Cannel. Cave drawings as far back as 2200 BC depict dogs resembling the modern Canaan.
When the Jewish people returned to the Promised Land in the 1930s, they discovered pariahs, living fossils, existing like the Dingoes of Australia in a feral state. These dogs were scavengers, surviving despite the hardships of intense heat and a scarcity of water and food. A definite "wild dog" pack order existed. Females left the pack to have their young either in a cave or a "dugout," returning to communal living when the pups were about seven months of age.In the late 1930s, Dr. Rudolphina Menzel, an Israeli canine authority originally from Germany, was asked to develop a dog for guarding the kibbutz. She and her husband, also a doctor, had observed the pariahs and noted several varieties: TYPE 1 is a heavier bodied dog, somewhat resembling the flock guards, with a double-coat. TYPE 2 still has the double-coat and often a tail that tends to curl over the back, but he is lighter in body. This type has a vague resemblance to the northern dogs as well as the Dingo.
Still lighter in build and with a short smooth coat is the TYPE 3 (the so-called collie-type) pariah, which, when redomesticated, became the Canaan Dog. The TYPE 4 dog has the appearance of the sighthound, with more raciness and narrowing of the head and body. The wild Type 4 is nearly identical to the Portuguese Podengo and very similar to the Ibizan Hound.
Dr. Menzel cultivated the collie type, starting with "£)ugma," meaning model or sample, and established the Canaan breed. Although capturing Dugma was a six-month challenge, once enticed to civilization, he was redomesticated with amazing ease.
The Canaan Dogs rose to high favor, due partly to their intelligence and high trainability. They served as sentry dogs and messengers and aided the Red Cross. During World War II, Dr. Menzel trained over 400 for mine detection. Her post-War efforts achieved recognition for the breed as a guide for the blind. They are popular dogs in their native country as companions and guards.

Typical of the group, they tend to be aloof. Although they are devoted to their families, they maintain a strong flight reflex, "the highly developed caution toward humans that had allowed her [the breed] to survive in its native land for thousands of years." When confronted with a new or bewildering situation, such as a change in homes, dogs may bolt. Pursuit by well-meaning people seems to puzzle rather than frighten them. They are innately capable of caring for themselves in such a situation. In today's world of multi-lane, fast-moving traffic and dog-control laws, strong measures should be taken to prevent such an occurrence.
Canaans at play are a joy to watch, "boxing" and stalking one another and "talking" back to each other and their families. These dogs first entered the States in 1965. In just a few years, the Canaan has established type and a strong national club. The breed's Israeli standard includes a section on character, indicating that mistrust (of outsiders), endurance, readability and tractability are all very high. The Canaan Dog is a member of both the AKC and CKC Miscellaneous Classes
Today their versatility lends them to many tasks: herding, alerting and tracking, making them in demand for sheep dog trials, search-and-rescue, and obedience competition. Their sturdiness enables them to work into their teens.
Owners agree—they do bark, one of their guard attributes. In close proximity, barking can be a problem, and this natural tendency must be curtailed.

CAIRN TERRIER

COUNTRY: Great Britain
WEIGHT: 13-14 pounds
HEIGHT: 9V2-10 inches
COAT: Rough, wire
COLOR: Any color except white
REGISTRY: FCI, ARC, UKC, TKC, CKC
GROUP: Terrier

The Cairn is a native of the western highlands of Scotland as well as the Isle of Skye, part of the Hebrides Islands, north of Scotland. The breed owes its name and its existence to the pile of rocks erected to identify a boundary or mark a grave. These cairns became favorite hiding places for foxes and other pests, A small but game terrier was needed to go into the cairns and rout out the vermin. The lairds of Scotland kept packs of the tousy terriers for hunting and extermination purposes.
This breed's history is parallel to that of the Skye, the West Highland White and the Scottish Terriers and goes back about 500 years. From a large variety of types in various locales, four distinct breeds slowly emerged: the Cairn, Skye, Westie and Scottie. When the Cairns were first exhibited in 1909, they were called Short-haired Skyes. This produced a howl from the Skye fanciers, resulting in the name Cairn.
Bursting with energy and a joy of life, the Cairn is independent in nature and intently curious, requiring firm instructions. Their terrier nature implores them to dig—whether in a burrow or a flower bed makes no difference to them.
The Cairn has been a neat, compact, cheerful and alert companion since the 1500s. These attributes have made them the favorite terrier in Great Britain, bringing them the honor of being called "the best little pal in the world" by the British Cairn Terrier Club. They reached American shores in 1913, where they have enjoyed a sensible middle-of-the-road status. The breed's sturdiness serves them in good stead as a child's dog.
The short muzzle and erect ears give the breed a keen expression. Its moderately short tail is carried gaily. Ring presentation calls for some "tidying up," since the Cairn's shaggy coat gives the dog a tousled appearance, much like "Toto" in The Wizard ofOz.

CHIHUAHUA

COUNTRY: Mexico
WEIGHT: 1-6 pounds
COAT: Short and smooth; or long and soft with fringing
COLOR: Any color
REGISTRY: FCI, ARC, UKC, TKC, CKC
GROUP: Southern

The Chinese have long practiced the art of dwarfing animals, plants and fish. It is believed that Spanish traders traveled through Mexico on their returns from China and left behind some of their canine acquisitions. These, crossed with the native hairless breeds, made up the modern Chihuahua, which is the smallest dog in the world. Other cynologists have stated he is just a miniaturized version of native pariah dogs. His similarity to the small Podengo of Portugal (another dwarf pariah) is singular.
The tiny dogs may have been named for the State of Chihuahua in Mexico, and many tales lend belief of their existence there. No concrete evidence has been found to prove this theory; in fact, more recent research has provided evidence to the contrary. Explorers reporting the exis-tence of dogs called the Techichi are now believed to have described a "prairie dog" type of rodent, which the natives "raised, castrated and ate." These little "dogs" lived in holes in the ground.
Whatever their beginnings, Chihuahuas first came to prominence in Mexico City around 1895', reaching El Paso, Texas, shortly thereafter. Dog lovers in the USA refined and perfected the little dog of Mexico—and soon the breed was listed as the top toy in the States. He has maintained his appeal as a companion dog.
The long-coated version was probably produced in the USA, crossing smooth Chihuahuas with other toys like the Papillon, Pomeranian and so on.
Their tiny bodies hide large hearts, making them a favorite for the elderly and those in apartments. They are playful and graceful, with large ears emphasizing their alert appearance. Due to their tiny size (some as small as one pound!), they are not the choice for rowdy families or outdoor living. Breeding and health problems are accentuated in the tiniest specimens. The mollera, or open soft spot on the top of the skull, is usually found in the majority of Chihuahuas and is allowed by the standard.

Basset Artesien Normand Dog

COUNTRY: France

WEIGHT: 33 pounds

HEIGHT: 101/2-141/2 inches

COAT: Short and smooth

COLOR: Tricolor or orange/white

OTHER NAMES: Artesian Norman Basset

REGISTRY: FCI

GROUP: Hound

Short-legged dogs were present in northern France for many years where they were generally known as Norman Bassets, although many also came from Artois (Artesien), Frenchman Fauilloux's memoirs from the 17th century mention his use of short-legged dogs from Artois for hunting badger.
By the end of the 19th century, when identification of individual breeds was begun throughout the world, two types of "Norman" bassets existed that were unrelated to one another. The Count Le Coulteux de Canteleu was breeding strong-bodied, straight-legged bassets with particular emphasis on hunting qualities rather than on "classic" appearance. In head type, they were similar to the Chien d'Artois, with the small flat ear. Near Rouen another breeder, Louis Lane, was emphasizing aesthetic characteristics, and his hounds had noble heads with large drooping ears. But they also had less energy, due to the extremely dwarfed front legs, so curved that the dogs were half disabled. Many other breeders of the area, wanting the best of the extremes, crossbred the two types.
By 1898, when the first written standard was adopted, most of these bassets carried characteristics from both types. The man who spearheaded the modern blend was Leon Verrier. In the early years of this century, his hounds dominated the exhibitions, and were the type most sought by the newly formed association for the breed. During the 1920s, his dogs were often referred to as Artois Bassets (Basset d'Artois), despite their double origin. WWI wiped out Ver-rier's kennels, but he continued his influence as a judge and leader. Under his presidency, the name of Basset Artesien Normand was chosen.
After WWII, the Basset Artesien Normand breed was reduced to very few pure specimens, but several dedicated breeders, especially Leparoux de Combree des Maine et Loire, saved the Artesian Norman Basset from extinction.
The desired type is an athletic dog, with an elegant head and long, smooth muscles. The muzzle is long, refined and arched. Ears are low-set, thin and curved. Most modern specimens approach the top of the standard or even larger. While not carrying over-abundant skin, some wrinkles appear on the cheeks, and this hound does have a bit of dewlap.
The Artesien Normand is a happy, good-natured dog who is courageous and headstrong in the hunt. He, like so many of his basset cousins, was designed to go into heavy cover. Originally bred for rabbit shooting, he is now adapted to hunt a variety of prey. His additional qualities of kindness, obedience and patience with children have found him a place as a house dog.

Basenji Dog

COUNTRY: Zaire
WEIGHT: 22-24 pounds
HEIGHT: 16-16V2 inches
COAT: Short, smooth
COLOR: Red, black/tan, black—all with white markings
OTHER NAMES: Congo Dog
REGISTRY: FCI, AKC, UKC, TKC, CKC
GROUP: Southern Hound

Admired by the pharaohs, these ancient dogs stem from the earliest pariahs. They were used as hunting dogs much like their larger relatives, the Pharaoh and Ibizan. As the great Egyptian culture declined, these hunting partners were adopted by tribes throughout the Congo.
The Basenji breed's keen nose (a Basenji can scent at 80 yards) and sharp eyesight were useful to the natives, who used the dogs to drive game into nets or to track wounded prey. Because the Basenji hunted silently, he often wore a bell.
Centuries later, the Basenji dog was found in the bush by British explorers, nearly in its original form. The Englishmen called the breed the African Bush Dog. The breed's independence, resourcefulness and hunting ability had helped the Basenji to survive on its own.
Finally, in 1936, a pair imported from the Congo by a Mrs. Burn, Bongo of Blean and Bo-koto of Blean, produced the first English litter. When these pups were exhibited at Crufts in 1937, they created so much interest that special police had to be employed to keep the crowds moving past the Basenji benches. The Basenji dog was obviously on its way to acceptance. It was Mrs. Burn who gave the breed its current name, Basenji, translating to bush thing from the African dialect. The Basenji was recognized by AKC in 1943.
A popular hunting dog for small game in his native land, he is valued for his silent approach. Today the barkless dog is valued for the same attribute in apartment complexes. Nevertheless, he is not totally silent, communicating with a growl when displeased and a singular yodel when happy. The Basenji dog is exceptionally clean, licking itself in the manner of a cat, adding to his appeal as a pet. Owners note the use of his feet to cling, play and communicate.
Current owners find them happy playmates and avid coursing dogs. They retain many of the characteristics of the pariahs: the aloofness, the wrinkled brow and the cycling once a year. Basenji bitches come into season between August and November (which would be late winter and early spring in Africa) allowing their young to be several months old by cold weather

Barbet Dog

COUNTRY: France
WEIGHT: 33-55 pounds
HEIGHT: 18-22 inches
COAT: Thick, long, and "tassled"; curly or wavy
COLOR: Black, chestnut, fawn, gray; with or without white markings; white
OTHER NAMES: Griffon d'Arret a Foil Laineux
REGISTRY: FCI
GROUP: Gun Dog

Exact roots of the Barbet dog are forever lost, but most likely they stem from corded sheep dogs from Asia and, possibly, early griffon hounds. Woolly water dogs were found throughout 14th-century Europe, answering to various names, i.e., the wasserhund meaning water dog. Although not the source of all water dogs, the Barbet is very likely closest to the original type. The Barbet dog is most generic of water dogs, with a woolly sheep-dog coat and hair all over, allowing him to withstand hours in water and chilly marshes. The Barbet dog resembles a pointing dog, but is slower and heavier of body, without the keen nose or sleek beauty. Sixteenth-century synologist Fou-illoux dubbed him the Barbet, from barbe, a French designation for beard; his pseudonym, laineux., translates into woolly.
Elizabethan references to shaggy-coated water dogs in France and England describe their use for retrieving and their coat care. Dr. Johannes Caius says personalities were "efficient and playful." Perhaps it is their impishness that entices them to muddy, swampy places, giving them the nickname of "Mud Dog."

BULLDOG

COUNTRY: Great Britain
WEIGHT: 40-55 pounds
HEIGHT: 12-14 inches
COAT: Short, smooth
COLOR: Red brindle, other brindles, solid white, red-fawn or yellow, piebald (in descending order of preference); black undesirable
OTHER NAMES: English Bulldog
REGISTRY: FCI, AKC, TKC, CKC
GROUP: Mastiff

These dogs were first classified by cynologists as "bulldogs" in the 1630s, although mentioned earlier under "bandogge" or "butchers dogge." They probably shared a common ancestor with the Mastiff, through the Alaunt, which was described in Master of Game by Edward, second Duke of York, circa 1406: ". . . Alauntes are treacherous and evil ... it is the best hound to hold and to nyme [seize] all manner of beasts and hold them fast."
During the heinous days of bull-baiting, dogs caught the bulls by the ear. The early Bulldog, more agile than other fighters, went for the nose and was not as likely to be hooked by a horn. Certainly, the higher legged "bulldogge" of yesteryear could harass the bull into lowering its head for the dog to grab a piece of anatomy, whether the ear or the tender nose. Rules stated that the dog then had to pull the bull backward around the ring—or to throw and pin the beast. Bears, lions, monkeys and badgers were also found worthy to meet the Bulldog in combat. As Pierce Egan recites, the sight brought forth patriotic utterances, as:". . . What creature that, so fierce and bold, That springs and scorns to leave his hold?... It is the Bulldog, matchless, brave, Like Britons on the swelling Wave."
Following the demise of this grisly sport, the old-fashioned Bulldog then waded through the bloodbath of the dog-fight pits. This encouraged crosses to various terriers to increase speed, which resulted in the creation of other well-known modern breeds.
The Bulldog of today is not the same as that of the 1600s. After bull-baiting was outlawed in 1835, the original dog evolved into the shorter faced, squattier version we know today, while retaining its powerful undershot jaw.
Bulldogs attained legitimacy in 1860 by entering a different arena—though not quite so bloody—that of the show ring. The bloodthirsty personality of its early years has mellowed into its even demeanor of modern times, while maintaining its threatening appearance. This has earned it the description of "beautiful in its ugliness." Bulldogs are popular mascots, demonstrating the toughness of a team, and have become a symbol of tenacity throughout the world.
The breed has widespread shoulders and a distinctive, rolling gait, making it recognizable anywhere. The exaggerated characteristics have made the Bulldog difficult to mate and whelp, often requiring human assistance through artificial inseminations and Caesarean sections. Care must be taken during hot weather, since the brachycephalic characteristics of the nose and throat tend to restrict air flow.
Bulldog temperament is loving, quiet and gentle. Docile and phlegmatic, their favorite activities are following their masters around the house and taking long naps at their feet.

Ainu Dog

COUNTRY: Japan
HEIGHT: 18V2-21V2 inches
COAT: Moderately short, thick, stand-off, with undercoat
COLOR: Sesame, brindle, wolf gray, red, brown or white
OTHER NAMES: Hokkaido Dog, Ainu-Ken
REGISTRY: FCI
GROUP: Northern

When the Ainu tribe arrived in Japan nearly 3,000 years ago, they had dogs of Nordic type with them, and these became the Ainu Dog. The Ainus were an ancient people who migrated to and were the first settlers in Japan, ten centuries before Christ. They were a white race of unknown origin, and at one time lived on all the islands of Japan.
The Ainus were slowly pushed out over the centuries by the influx of Yamato (Japanese) people and now live only in their own settlements on the northernmost island of Hokkaido. (They live in their own groups, with their own separate and quite primitive culture.) Their dog has changed little over the centuries. The Ainu Dog is probably the oldest of the Japanese breeds and may have been altered somewhat through crosses with matagi dogs.
The Ainu Dog is known for its strength and was a draft dog originally, but is used today for hunting and guarding. The Ainu Dog is extremely courageous for his size, willingly attacking a 650-pound bear. He is generally kept in the home.
As is common with most of the Japanese breeds, the Ainu Dog is clean and mannerly yet quite ready to warn of danger. As a working dog for so long, he tends to be a bit coarser and more primitive than the other Japanese breeds. His character is sharp and fearless. He also differs by having smaller ears, a broader head and a fiercer expression. Also of interest is that, although not particularly desired, these dogs occasionally have the black tongue. This may hint at ties to the Chow Chow and mainland China. If loved and cared for, he is said to be obedient to his master and an irreplaceable friend.

Afghan Hound

COUNTRY: Afghanistan
WEIGHT: 50-60 pounds
HEIGHT: 25-27 inches
COAT: Long, straight, thick, silky; short on face
COLOR: Any color; white on head undesirable
OTHER NAMES: Tazi
REGISTRY: FCI, AKC, UKC, TKC, CKC
GROUP: Southern

The history of the Afghan Hound is ancient, though the legend which claims the Afghan as the dog Noah took into the Ark may be a bit exaggerated. Migration of northern African sight-hounds into the mountains of Afghanistan included some hounds with longer hair. In the cold mountain air, the heaviest coats were selected and bred from necessity, eventually creating the Afghan. The breed spread into the border areas and even into India and aided both the hunter and the shepherd.
The Afghan Hounds unique, upright tail with the curled end served as a marker in the heavier underbrush, and his high-set hip bones enabled him greater flexibility in the mountain ranges. The aristocratic, elegant Afghan Hound was no pussycat, hunting big even tough game: wolves, foxes and gazelles. In tirnes past, he was a favorite of the Afghani nobility as an adjunct to the sport of falconry.
The Afghan Hounds old native name is Tazi, and his obvious resemblance to the like-named Tasy of Russia (even to the ring in the tail) indicates similar histories. The proximity of southern Russia and Afghanistan geographically increases the likelihood of close ancestry.
Originally, sale of the Afghan Hound to outsiders was prohibited, and the first specimens to arrive in the United States and England did not appear until the turn of the 20th century. An English Captain Banff imported the exciting hound, "Zardin," from Afghanistan around this time. Exhibited at the Crystal Palace Show in 1907, he won spectacularly and started a true interest in the breed. Good breeding programs existed in Britain by the 1920s. AKC and CKC recognition followed in the 30s.
The Afghan Hounds coat bears singular requirements: the topknot and the distinct shorthaired saddle on the back which forms as an adult. It is permissible for the dog to display a shorthaired cuff on the feet. Frequent, fastidious combing is a necessity. An ungroomed Afghan is not only unkempt but uncomfortable.
As well as being a highly celebrated show dog today, the Afghan participates in lure coursing. Despite their high numbers as show competitors, they have not achieved the same status as a pet, due to their size, coat care and exercise demands. Their temperament is aloof, though they can be the greatest of clowns at play time. From their origin on Mount Sinai to today's show ring, the Afghans are majesty at its peak. "At a glance, one can see the Eastern inscrutability; the conviction that they are royalty; the certainty that they are above lesser breeds."

Affenpinscher Dog

GROUP: Terrier

A true toy terrier, the Affenpinscher dog has been in existence for more than 300 years. His origins are difficult to pinpoint, but he is seen in nearly his present form in 17th-century paintings.The Affenpinscher dog may be a miniature form of the wire terrier prototype which came from Nordic dogs, such as the Schipperke. These, crossed with the little pin-schers or with small brachycephalic Pug like dogs from Asia found in Europe, could have created the Affenpinscher. In fact, earlier Affens may have had a longer muzzle, because the Affenpinscher and smooth Miniature Pinscher were at one time considered two coat varieties of the same breed and even occurred in the same litter. Whatever the Affenpinscher dog ancestry, this quaint little dog has earned the description of "monkey dog." His rather flat, turned-up nose, alert cropped ears, prominent round eyes, bristling eyebrows and bushy mustache and beard all add to this description. The French often call this dog Dia-bletin Moustache, literally the mustached little devil!
Belying his very small size, he is every inch a terrier in personality. He is alert, yet quiet, game and sturdy. The FCI standard translates: a charming mixture of fearlessness, obsti-nancy, loyalty and affection which he will show in rapid change from amusing earnestness to raging passion."
Regular brushing and tidying up is all the Affenpinscher dog requires to look neat. The tail is docked short. Although not among the most numerous of dogs, the Affenpinscher has his proponents internationally. American and Canadian recognition was granted in 1936 but, perhaps because of the wealth of terrier types already in Britain, he remains virtually unknown there.

Akita Dog


COUNTRY: Japan
WEIGHT: 75-110 pounds or more
HEIGHT: 24-28 inches
COAT: Stiff, moderately short; stand-off, with undercoat
COLOR: All colors allowed, including white, pied, or brindle, with or without mask
OTHER NAMES: Akita Inu
REGISTRY: FCI, ARC, TKC, CKCGROUP: Northern Working Dog
Most of the native dogs of Japan are of the classic northern type. The Akita dogs have square bodies, wedge-shaped heads, small upright ears, short, thick stand-off coats, and the tail is curled up over the back. The eyes tend to be triangular and recessed, "suggesting the burning spirit within." Their temperaments are always calm and considerate, with great dignity.
The Akita breed differences lie in the sizes, colors, uses and backgrounds, and a few other minor features. In fact, they are so much alike that in Japan, these native breeds are shown in one classification, divided into sub-groups: large (Akita), medium (Kai, Kishu, Ainu, Shikoku) and small (Shiba). Both the terms inu and ken translate into the word dog. Many of the Japanese breeds originally carried one of these terms after their names, but modern usage tends to drop the superfluous suffix.
In the late 19th century, when the National Isolation Policy was repealed, other breeds were brought into the country and, naturally, some crossbreeding occurred. The Japanese government became concerned over the impending loss of their native breeds and formed the Society for Preservation of Japanese Dogs, declaring all native breeds as national monuments.
The largest of these breeds is the well-known Akita from the Akita prefecture in northern Japan. The breed traces back many centuries to the polar regions when the spitz group found its way to the northern mountains in Honshu. The largest and most powerful Akita dogs were selected and bred with the type appearing about 300 years ago. Akitas were originally developed as fighting dogs, as popular in the Far East as they were in Europe. As that sport lost favor, the nobility found new uses for this brave breed in their hunts for deer, wild boar or even black bear. The Akita Dog has achieved praise as a bold hunter of large game, a guard and a loyal companion.
A huge statue of an Akita dog stands in the busy Shibuya Station in Tokyo, erected in the 1920s as a tribute to a dog who appeared daily to greet his master as he returned to the station from work, continuing ten years after the master died. The statue is named Chuken Hachi-ko or Loyal Dog Hachi.
The Akita dig is a tough, robust fellow, needing firm, loving discipline. He can be obstinate and reacts against harsh methods. The breed cannot be forced but, once shown what is desired, he is quite cooperative. The Akita is aggressive with other animals and will defend its territory against all intruders, human or otherwise. Yet he is an affectionate companion to his family. The Japanese say he is "tender in heart and strong in strength."
To preclude boredom and mischief, sufficient exercise is necessary. The Japanese spitz dogs are hardy and can endure extremes of climate. The breed's popularity continues as a companion and guardian. He is sometimes called Shishi Inu, meaning large dog. The Akita dog is a favorite in Japan, and is fairly well known in the USA as well as in England and the European continent. As noted by Fujino Junko, "the characters of these dogs suggest ancient Japanese people austere, valiant, faithful, good-natured and gentle, highly affectionate and sensitive to the kindness of their masters."

My own vet said commercial dog food killed my dog, Noble, because preservatives it contains caused his kidneys to fail.

In fact, through my own research I discovered dog food contains at least 6 deadly chemicals that have been banned from human foods because they cause:

• 
  Kidney cancer
• 
  Bladder cancer
• 
  Skin cancer
• 
  Stomach cancer
• 
  Spleen cancer
• 
  Leukemia
• 
  Liver dysfunction
• 
  Major organ failure
• 
  Immune system collapse
• 
  Severe allergic reactions
• 
  Birth Defects
• 
  Blindness
• 
  Chronic Diarrhea
• 
  Hair Loss and
• 
  Behavior problems, including increased aggressiveness --> very dangerous if your dog is around children

And if you think, like I did, that buying foods labeled as chemical and preservative free makes them safe, think again... it's just more lies!

'Chemical and Preservative Free' Labeling a Lie. Experts Expose Truth..

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and author, Henry Pasternak, rips back the veil of lies about dog food labeling..

"Many pet foods advertised as "preservative-free" do, in fact, contain preservatives.

..manufacturers don't have to list preservatives that they themselves did not add.

Many preservatives make their way into pet food at rendering plants before the meat is even sent to the manufacturer. An analysis of several pet foods labeled "chemical free" or "all natural ingredients" found synthetic antioxidants in all samples."

===============================

Henry Pasternak also reveals..

"Although you won't see it on the label, since it is often added at the rendering plant and not by the manufacturer, ethoxyquin (EQ) is used to preserve most dry pet food.

EQ is the most powerful of all preservatives and may be the most toxic.

The use of EQ is ... permitted in pet food.

...factory workers exposed to it exhibited side effects similar to those of agent orange:
a dramatic rise in liver or kidney damage,

• 
  cancerous skin lesions,
• 
  hair loss,
• 
  blindness,
• 
  leukemia,
• 
  fetal abnormalities, and
• 
  chronic diarrhea.

In animals, EQ has been linked to:

• 
  immune deficiency syndrome;
• 
  spleen, stomach, and liver cancers;
• 
  and a host of allergies."

=========================

Best-selling pet care author, Ann N. Martin, reveals why foods labeled as 'chemical and preservative free' are actually chock-full of deadly poisons...

"Before these animal parts and by-product used for pet food are shipped from the slaughterhouse to the rendering plant, the by-product is "denatured."

This means that crude carbolic acid, cresylic disinfectant, or citronella, is sprayed on the product."

WARNING: Stop believing the lies told you by smiling dog breeders and vets representing the dog food industry... These multi-billion dollar companies are manipulating you! Let me show you how to escape.

Here's another dirty trick they pull on us and our dogs, it is shameful and deadly.. read on..

"Rage, Pain, Despair? What Would You Feel If Your Dog Was Murdered?"

For a moment my mind was completely blank... and then from a dark place within me, rose a violent tempest of anger and resentment.

Rapidly it forced its way to the top of my consciousness until, almost involuntarily, my head snapped back and I bellowed a painful and frustrated wail... but alas, I was powerless to save the life of my best-friend..

'Noble'

R.I.P.
Noble passed away in my arms from lethal injection at 3:46pm on a Wednesday afternoon - the saddest day of my life.

An innocent victim of dog-food poisoning.

PLEASE, don't let this tragic story become your own!

You should never have to stand over the dead & diseased body of your own sweet dog because companies spending millions of dollars each year to get your trust, are simultaneously taking your money and selling you poison, knowingly!

I've spent the past 3 years researching the truth about commercial dog food and proper canine health and nutrition.

This is the terrifying truth I discovered...

"The Next Words From My Vet's Mouth Flooded Me With Rage! He Said, 'Andrew...."

I'm usually a calm and relaxed guy... it takes a lot to 'shake my tree' but the facts my vet shared with me that day made me tremble with anger and resentment.

He said..

"Andrew, I'm very sorry to tell you but Noble is dying.

"The preservatives found in the commercial dog food you feed him have destroyed his kidneys.

"He will be dead in 3 weeks, maybe 4 and it's too late to prevent it.

"You see, the major dog food companies fill their precessed food with preservatives to increase it's shelf life and maximize their profits.

"They know these preservatives kill millions of pets every single year but without them, their profits would not be as large... and that is the bottom line..

"Andrew, Noble is dying for the sake of fattening company profits!".

[I later discovered through my own research, preservatives are not the only reason dog food kills dogs, more on that soon... you'll be outraged!]

The Death of Your Dog Looks Like This.

"The Death of Your Dog Looks Like This.."

Slowly, I began to notice something unusual about Noble. He didn't have the same bounce to his step that he was famous for. At times he even seemed reluctant to go for our regular exercise, which was always the highlight of his day.

I dismissed it as him feeling a bit off or maybe a touch of laziness... but it didn't pass, in fact it got worse and then worse still.

I eventually took him to the local vet and was told his kidneys were failing and soon, he would be dead.

DEAD!

As in gone..... forever!.

"But, but... he's so young, so strong, so happy... I don't understand, how could this be?"

Devastated, with tears welled in my eyes, I chocked back the urge to sob and listened for my vet's reply...

"Commercial Dog Food is Killing Your Dog,

"Commercial Dog Food is Killing Your Dog,
Hear What The Experts Have to Say..."

The widespread disease and death of dogs from nutritionally inadequate and poison-laden commercial dog food is no secret in the world of vets and dog experts....

"Experts 'Come-Forward' About Commercial Dog Food Scandal.."

Leading dog-health author, Ann N. Martin, sums up the state of commercial dog food in a single sentence..

"Most commercial pet foods are garbage"

==========================

World-famous vet and dog-care author Alfred Plechner, says the poor nutritional properties of commercial dog food inevitably lead to disease..

"Because many commercial foods are woefully deficient in key nutrients, the long term effect of feeding such foods makes the dog hypersensitive to its environment. . . .

It's a dinosaur effect. [Dogs] are being programmed for disaster, for extinction.

Many of them are biochemical cripples with defective adrenal glands unable to manufacture adequate cortisol, a hormone vital for health and resistance to disease."


==========================

Debra Lynn Dadd, author of 'Home Safe Home' says commerical dog food company claims their product is a complete and healthy meal are false..

"Many pet foods claim to be "100% nutritionally complete and balanced." This claim legally can be made and printed on commercial products based on information studies using isolated nutrients and not whole foods

.. these tests ignore important nutritional issues and give ... consumers a false sense of knowledge and security.

There are more than forty known, essential nutrients... thus, making sure a food contains appropriate amounts of only a dozen of these nutrients can't possibly assure that a food is "complete."


WARNING: If you continue to feed your dog commercial dog food, death-by-disease is practically guaranteed! You must find an alternative and it doesn't have to mean spending more money.
