News from the Low Gap Dog Park Committee: We are getting close to our funding goal for stage one of the Low Gap Dog Park! Stage one includes fencing, gates and signs, to create a two-section (small dogs and large dogs) off-lease park located on Low Gap Road. The city and county have set aside the land – it is the community’s job to build the actual park. Two fund raisers are coming up. First, The Low Gap Dog Park Committee will have an informational booth at this year’s PumpkinFest on October 18 & 19. The Dog Park booth will have Tote Bags with the dog park logo, produced by the Willits Quilters. Give a $20.00 Donation to the park and get a free tote bag! They will also be holding a raffle for a tote bag filled with dog goodies, so make sure you stop by the Low Gap Dog Park booth at PumpkinFest.

Also on the calendar, is a 10k and 5k Run/Walk (with dogs if you want) scheduled for November 1 at Lake Mendocino. Watch for more information in our next newsletter – or check out the Low Gap Dog Park web site, for all upcoming events and how to donate to this great cause!

When my dog was a pup, her favorite toy was a fleece “gingerbread man.” It happened to be green, so we called it “greenman” and Lacey would run to get it when we ask her about it. Our other dog has a fleece duck. If fleece toys are one of your dog’s favorites be sure to print out this month’s coupon and save 25% on any fleece toy in stock!

Raising a Well Mannered Mutt with Sallie Palmer

Warning: Do not get an under age puppy

I’m distressed. When I look at ads in the paper for people selling or giving away puppies I am shocked by how many people are wanting to give up puppies that are under eight weeks of age. Getting an under aged puppy is courting disaster.

I have received three calls this week from people seeking advice on how to pick out a puppy. During the conversation I ask the person about the litter they are looking at. Are the parents on site so you can see their disposition/temperament? How old is the mom? Is she an adult or juvenile? If the mom was bred when she’s too young this can have an effect on the puppies development. How long has it been between litters? Is the mom being bred more than once a year? Puppies deplete the mom’s body and you want to make sure she has had a chance to rebuild her health. Is a veterinarian’s report available? Be sure to review any health issues the breed might have. Has a puppy test been done? This will give an indication of the puppy’s personality. And my biggest pet peeve, ARE THE PUPPIES AT LEAST EIGHT WEEKS OLD! I am amazed by how often I hear that the breeder is selling under age puppies. Puppies need a full 8 weeks both with their mother and their siblings. I tell my clients to look for another breeder and to tell that breeder why they are going to look elsewhere.

There is an alarming trend to sell or give away puppies as young as four weeks old. Most commonly they are six weeks old. Breeders get rid of the pups for a variety of reasons. Usually it is because puppies are messy, yappy and expensive. Another reason is the breeders want the money now. I don’t care what the breeder tells you, puppies should stay with their litter mates until they are eight weeks old. Usually breeders will tell you the mother doesn’t want to interact with them. What the breeder doesn’t tell you is that the puppy’s interaction with the disinterested mom teaches the puppy how to behave around adult dogs. A lesson we can not provide. Read entire article ...
