Dionysus (Danny Boy) on the left is a handsome dutch marked boy from Cricket and Rummy. Behind him is Chronos, out of Dilara and Rummy. Chronos is dark like his sire. Dilara had a good sized litter, nine puppies, on Jan 3rd, while Cricket had only three puppies on Jan 2nd, sooooo.....I took two of Dilara's pups, a male and a female and gave them to Cricket to raise. Worked like a charm. Cricket had plenty of milk for two more pups.<br />

I had tried to breed Cricket a
couple years ago and she did not take, so you can imagine my surprise when she started showing
signs of pregnancy around the same time Dilara did. I had not intended to breed her but guess the Big Guy had other plans.<br />
<br />
She had been OFA'd after
she turned two and it was Good. So when she showed signs of pregnancy I
was surprised! She did have a slow progression on labor so decided to
take her to my Vet and c-section her. Three healthy puppies! <br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
In
a normal delivery, a pup emerges headfirst. When a pup comes out feet first, it
is a breech delivery. We had several presented in that position. (Breech
deliveries are not at all uncommon.) Each pup is born encased in a transparent
sac or membrane. This sac or membrane will be the first thing you see as the
pup is expelled. It will be bulgy and transparent and you will see the pup
inside. The sac will be attached by a cord to the placenta, which should come
out after the pup. Be sure you have the litter born on something you don’t care
about being stained. It won’t wash out. The placenta or afterbirth is the means
by which the fetus is nourished within the uterus. </div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
If
the sac breaks on the way out, quickly bring the pup to the bitch's attention,
if she hasn't already gone to work on it. Ordinarily, the bitch will break the
sac with her teeth and gnaw off the navel cord to within one inch of the pup's
navel. There are several breeders who feel they need to do this part but we
just watch and only interfere if help is necessary. If the bitch doesn't break
the sac or chew off the navel cord, you will have to take care of these. Pick
up the sac with the pup inside (use a clean cloth) and break the sac near the
pup's head. Do it by gently stretching the membrane or hooking a finger into it
and carefully pulling it apart.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
Next,
put the pup down where the bitch can lick and clean it. This also stimulates
continued birthing. It is imperative that the pup be cleaned. When the sac is
broken, the pup should gasp for air. Breathing may be impeded because of mucous
in the pup's nose, throat or lungs. This mucous must be removed. If the bitch
will not clean the pup or it doesn't gasp for air, you will have to take over.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
Quickly
wipe any excess mucous from the pup's mouth. Open the pup's mouth, take a
medicine dropper and suck out any mucous. Rub the pup vigorously with a clean,
dry cloth, both with and against the lie of the hair. The rubbing will help to
stimulate circulation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
If,
after these administrations, the pup still doesn't gasp for air, you'll have to
use more drastic measures. Wrap the pup in a clean cloth, hold it cupped in
your two hands, with the head toward your fingers, and swing the pup downward
in an arc in front of you. Stop the swing suddenly, but hold on to the pup. The
centrifugal force plus the sudden stop usually clears out the mucous.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
Another
emergency measure to get the pup breathing is to use a rubber tube and syringe
to withdraw the mucous. Insert the tube well into the pup's mouth and squeeze
the syringe to aspirate the mucous. Keep working on the pup and don't let it
get chilled. We fill up a rubber glove with hot tap water and tie it off. It’s
a warm hand with warm fingers to wrap around the pup. Remember not too hot.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt;">
Artificial
respiration is not always practical. But you can insert the rubber tube in the
pup's mouth (take off the syringe) and try forcing your own breath down. When
you try this, proceed as follows: breathe air into the tube, stop, then press
gently on the pup's ribs in the region of the lungs. Be careful, you can easily
break the pup's rib case. Keep working to make the pup breathe; don't give up too
quickly.</div>

<b>"Early Neurological Stimulation"</b><blockquote></blockquote>
by Dr. Carmen Battaglia<blockquote></blockquote>
Surprising as it may seem, it isn't capacity that explains the differences that exist between individuals because most seem to have far more capacity than they will ever use. The differences that exist between individuals seem to be related to something else. The ones who achieve and out perform others seem to have within themselves the ability to use hidden resources. In other words, it's what they are able to do with what they have that makes the difference.<blockquote></blockquote>
In many animal-breeding programs the entire process of selection and management is founded on the belief that performance is inherited. Attempts to analyze the genetics of performance in a systematic way have involved some distinguished names such as Charles Darwin and Francis Galton. But it has only been in recent decades that good estimates of heritability of performance have been based on adequate data. Cunningham (1991) in his study of horses found that only by using Timeform data, and measuring groups of half brothers and half sisters could good estimates of performance be determined. His data shows that performance for speed is about 35% heritable. In other words only about 35% of all the variation that is observed in track performance is controlled by heritable factors, the remaining 65% are attributable to other influences, such as training, management and nutrition. Cunningham's work while limited to horses provides a good basis for understanding how much breeders can attribute to the genetics and the pedigrees.<blockquote></blockquote>
Researchers have studied this phenomena and have looked for new ways to stimulate individuals in order to improve their natural abilities. Some of the methods discovered have produced life long lasting effects. Today, many of the differences between individuals can now be explained by the use of early stimulation methods.<blockquote></blockquote>
<b>Introduction</b><blockquote></blockquote>
Man for centuries has tried various methods to improve performance. Some of the methods have stood the test of time, others have not. Those who first conducted research on this topic believed that the period of early age was a most important time for stimulation because of its rapid growth and development. Today, we know that early life is a time when the physical immaturity of an organism is susceptible and responsive to a restricted but important class of stimuli. Because of its importance many studies have focused their efforts on the first few months of life.<blockquote></blockquote>
Newborn pups are uniquely different than adults in several respects. When born their eyes are closed and their digestive system has a limited capacity requiring periodic stimulation by their dam who routinely licks them in order to promote digestion. At this age they are only able to smell, suck, and crawl. Body temperature is maintained by snuggling close to their mother or by crawling into piles with other littermates. During these first few weeks of immobility researchers noted that these immature and under-developed canines are sensitive to a restricted class of stimuli which includes thermal, and tactile stimulation, motion and locomotion.<blockquote></blockquote>
Other mammals such as mice and rats are also born with limitations and they also have been found to demonstrate a similar sensitivity to the effects of early stimulation. Studies show that removing them from their nest for three minutes each day during the first five to ten days of life causes body temperatures to fall below normal. This mild form of stress is sufficient to stimulate hormonal, adrenal and pituitary systems. When tested later as adults, these same animals were better able to withstand stress than littermates who were not exposed to the same early stress exercises. As adults, they responded to stress in "a graded" fashion, while their non-stressed littermates responded in an "all or nothing way."<blockquote></blockquote>
Data involving laboratory mice and rats also shows that stress in small amounts can produce adults who respond maximally. On the other hand, the results gathered from non-stressed littermate show that they become easily exhausted and would near death if exposed to intense prolonged stress. When tied down so they were unable to move for twenty-four hours, rats developed severe stomach ulcers, but litter mates exposed to early stress handling were found to be more resistant to stress tests and did not show evidence of ulcers. A secondary affect was also noticed.<blockquote></blockquote>
Sexual maturity was attained sooner in the littermates given early stress exercises. When tested for differences in health and disease, the stressed animals were found to be more resistant to certain forms of cancer and infectious diseases and could withstand terminal starvation and exposure to cold for longer periods than their non-stressed littermates. Other studies involving early stimulation exercises have been successfully performed on both cats and dogs. In these studies, the Electrical Encephalogram (EEG) was found to be ideal for measuring the electrical activity in the brain because of its extreme sensitivity to changes in excitement, emotional stress, muscle tension, changes in oxygen and breathing. EEG measures show that pups and kittens when given early stimulation exercises mature at faster rates and perform better in certain problem solving tests than non-stimulated mates. In the higher level animals the effect of early stimulation exercises have also been studied. The use of surrogate mothers and familiar objects were tested by both of the Kelloggs' and Dr. Yearkes using young chimpanzees. Their pioneer research shows that the more primates were deprived of stimulation and interaction during early development, the less able they were to cope, adjust and later adapt to situations as adults.<blockquote></blockquote>
While experiments have not yet produced specific information about the optimal amounts of stress needed to make young animals psychologically or physiologically superior, researches agree that stress has value. What also is known is that a certain amount of stress for one may be too intense for another, and that too much stress can retard development. The results show that early stimulation exercises can have positive results but must be used with caution. In other words, too much stress can cause pathological adversities rather than physical or psychological superiority.Mary Birdsonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13799374220075491568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29232531.post-42975591106371756142012-08-06T04:58:00.000-05:002012-09-16T11:15:44.320-05:00Kus Sarkisi Maksimum (Maxx)Maxx is a large, handsome, sweet boy who has awesome structure and character, and loves his livestock.

<blockquote></blockquote>The information below was obtained from http://www.beaglesunlimited.com/health/canine-heartworms-and-inexpensive-prevention. <blockquote></blockquote>
<blockquote></blockquote>But ultimately you must decide what you'll use. I'm just sayin' this works for us...Abundant health be with you and your beloved canines.
<blockquote></blockquote>This article will discuss the canine heartworms and how you can keep them from infecting your Beagle <i>(works for Anatolians as well)</i> at the absolute lowest cost.
<blockquote></blockquote>If you live in the United States, you have heartworms (Dirofilaria immitis) in your area. This parasite is present in all fifty states, but most common in the more temperate parts of the country. The heartworm larva (Dirofilaria immitis microfilariae) is spread from dog to dog by mosquitoes. When an infected mosquito feeds off a dog, it passes the infection into the bloodstream. The larva or microfilariae stay in the bloodstream for a period of time and then attach themselves to the inside of the heart and can also be found in the blood vessels of the lungs. When they mature in the heart they add their own microfilariae to the blood stream. The adult worms cause debilitating disease, reduce performance, and may cause death. Click on the hyper linked text and view a picture of "The Life Cycle of Heartworms". The dog can usually be cured if the heartworm infestation is diagnosed early enough. The cost of this cure can vary from a minimum of $175 to as much as $350 or more. After treatment, the dog must be laid up for a minimum of 30 days -- that is the bad news.
<blockquote></blockquote>The good news is that heartworms can be prevented for less than one cent per day for a 20 pound dog (Beagle size). Yes, I said less than one cent per day (30 cents monthly). Myself and other Beaglers have used a prevention (that I will describe in this article) since the early 1980's, with no heartworm infestations. Once again, I want to remind everyone that I am not a Veterinarian, but rather a long time Beagle kennel owner. I'll tell you what I use and do, you can use your own judgment whether you want to follow in my footsteps. This article is presented only as a documentation of how I prevent heartworms in my Beagles at a fraction of the cost that a Veterinarian will charge for the Merck Heartgard ™ (Ivermectin), chewable tablets. Also, the law restricts Heartgard to use by or on the order of a licensed Veterinarian; therefore, if you use the prescription tablets you will be paying $15 - $45 for a box of 6 tablets (six month supply) plus the cost of an occasional office visit.
<blockquote></blockquote>I use the same chemical that is in those expensive (prescription only) pills at a fraction of the cost. The prevention that I use is given once every 30 days (monthly) the same as the pills. In parts of the country during the coldest times of the year when no mosquitoes could survive, the prevention can even be suspended until the weather starts warming up again. If you suspect a dog may already have heartworms, before putting a dog on the following prevention it should be checked by a Vet to be sure it has no heartworms. The cost of this exam is generally between $5 - $15. It is a lot cheaper to have the exam to make sure your dog is not already infected, than it is to have a Vet save an infected dog during the advanced stages of heartworm infestation. This prevention (describe below) is only good to prevent an infection from ever occurring, once a dog is already infected then it must be given the very expensive treatment described in the first paragraph of this page.
<blockquote></blockquote>The exam consists of a vet drawing a small amount of blood, putting a smear of it on a slide and looking at it through a microscope. The microfilariae look like tiny wiggler fishing worms. This prevention is not to be given to collies or part collies. What I use is Ivermectin. It is a 1% injectible cattle wormer with the trade name of Ivomec ™ . You can purchase it (without a prescription) for $40 - $50 at your Veterinarian Supply Store or through a catalog from a Vaccine Wholesale Supplier. The bottle comes in a 50cc size. I give it orally which means by the mouth. I use 1/10th of 1cc for each 10 pounds of body weight. The syringes I use are 3cc and are marked off in tenths of 1cc.
<blockquote></blockquote>The way I do it is to draw out 2cc of Ivomec. Then I inject what is needed into an empty syringe (without a needle) with the plunger pulled down on the 1cc mark. I dribble it into the empty one until I have the proper amount. I will have a few ounces of soft drink or orange juice in an open container. I will draw in 1½ - 2cc of the juice to mix with the Ivomec. I put my finger over the end of the syringe and shake up the mixture. The reason for this is to give me more volume to work with and to make it taste better for the dog. I put my hand across the dog's nose with my thumb on one side and my fingers on the other side. Then I put pressure on my thumb and fingers to force open the dog's mouth. I then tip its head up and squirt the contents of the syringe in the roof of its mouth. Finally, I then close the mouth and hold it closed until the dog swallows. This is the only correct way to orally administer all types of liquid medications to dogs so that you do not accidentally squirt the liquid into the dog's windpipe and/or lungs.
<blockquote></blockquote>I do this treatment to each and every Beagle once every 30 days. The Ivomec kills all those little microfilariae (larva) in the bloodstream so they never have a chance to mature into heartworms. Microfilariae will circulate in the blood for more than 30 days before attaching to the heart, so if you give this prevention on schedule there is "NO POSSIBLE WAY" for your dog to get heartworms. Even if a drug is labeled as safe for pregnant and/or lactating bitches. Personally, I don't recommend you give any kind of medications to a pregnant bitch unless the life of the bitch is in grave danger; however, I will give medications to lactating bitches. The difference is the pups are already born and not in their developing and forming stages in the womb.
<blockquote></blockquote>The cost is very minimal for each dog. If the 50cc bottle of Ivomec costs you $40.00, this is 80 cents per cc. Given 12 months in a row, a 20 lb. dog will take 2½cc per year. That is a cost of $2.00 for a one year prevention. The shelf life for the Ivomec is about 3 years if kept refrigerated. Therefore, this method is feasible to use even if you only have one Beagle (dog), and it is by far the cheapest and most effective prevention against heartworms. If you have two or more dogs this can save you hundreds of dollars per year.Mary Birdsonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13799374220075491568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29232531.post-3929061404468122112012-05-10T21:45:00.001-05:002012-05-11T09:06:24.709-05:00Our Puppies!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Dogs cannot drink 1%, 2%, Skim, or Whole milk.) Whole goat's milk is by far the best to use. Walmart sells both evaporated milk, whole goat's milk and evaporated goats milk. Make sure you are using EITHER evaporated milk OR whole goat's milk. Do NOT use sweetened condensed milk!<br /><br /> 3 oz. sterilized water (baby water OR boiled water that is then cooled). <br /> This is NOT needed if using whole goat's milk.<br /> 1 raw egg yolk.<br /> 1 cup of plain yogurt (avoid skim or fat free if at all possible).<br /> 1/2 Tsp Karo Syrup or Corn Syrup (mary: I prefer Blackstrap Molasses)(NOT HONEY!)<br /> ****If you cannot find Karo or Corn syrup where you live, you can do a Google search for “substitute for Karo syrup” and get some options.****<br /><br /> When you Google “substitute for Karo syrup" here is what you may came up with- 1 c Karo can be subbed with 1 c white sugar and 1/4 c hot water (cook it to dissolve in the water best you can get it to. Depending on the recipe, if you need the sugar to be completely dissolved you might need to add a bit more water).<br /><br /><br />Place ingredients in a blender and blend or use a wire whisk. Be careful to not over blend and create a milk shake full of bubbles and then tube bubbles into the puppy.<br /><br />Keep cool and discard leftovers after 7 days.<br /><br />Warm formula to body temperature (dogs are around 101 degrees). Discard any un-used formula. This is a thick mixture - use a stomach tube to tube feed or enlarge the hole in the nipple for easy access for the pupMary Birdsonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13799374220075491568noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29232531.post-71608503056828193662012-01-22T12:03:00.000-06:002012-08-06T07:57:58.476-05:00Kus Sarkisi Keno Keskin, daughter of Dillara & Dillon<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVYvxso0jv6SgJ5wyI8xhyg-EBq7W85JHpYPUwauGc2UWayEGyCIAKfcu7k_j64tn-i3I3JNwqtUJmaKik26VOG98JwuaiTNO__3baDsa5XmQ6a5IEK7mIv4yrQv_W9AeAdQCxkg/s1600/IMG_9174.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVYvxso0jv6SgJ5wyI8xhyg-EBq7W85JHpYPUwauGc2UWayEGyCIAKfcu7k_j64tn-i3I3JNwqtUJmaKik26VOG98JwuaiTNO__3baDsa5XmQ6a5IEK7mIv4yrQv_W9AeAdQCxkg/s320/IMG_9174.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5700521720263720578" /></a><br />KENO_________________at 22 months of age<br /><br />

Dale writes me and says, "She has the BEST personality of any dog I have owned. Loves children and our other dogs. Was house broken in two weeks. My only complaint would be that she is a little hard to obedience train because she doesn't care that much about food." Gee that's not typical of an Anatolian, LOL....Scout is out of Kus Sarkisi Suna Dilara and Island Farm's Prime Suspect<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaK-o7kiFigEYtTVKrr9X8StE7TU69fMDdrmlqhKboP9oGflmZbn250-czJMrIgQuHB5VY7VnQL3lwJUHKANtGWJ_2nMHJ3SkoEULL8bwKJ_ZCVEI0W1h10YgUhcExYAZpS9jDwg/s1600/image003+73.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 268px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaK-o7kiFigEYtTVKrr9X8StE7TU69fMDdrmlqhKboP9oGflmZbn250-czJMrIgQuHB5VY7VnQL3lwJUHKANtGWJ_2nMHJ3SkoEULL8bwKJ_ZCVEI0W1h10YgUhcExYAZpS9jDwg/s320/image003+73.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552029388491474738" /></a><br />This is Griz at 10 months, living in Ava, Missouri with Dan & Kathleen. Kathleen writes "Other than him barking at ??? in the wee hours of the morning (between 12:01 am and 5:00 am!), he is being a good boy. He likes to chase the barn cats, but he doesn’t even attempt it with the inside cat. He doesn’t chase the chickens which is good and he has met the cattle and he keeps his distance and isn’t a pain.<br /> <br />His sheep whine when he is not in the pen area with him, even though I have caught him chasing them (and yes, I’ve scolded him…doesn’t mean he stops). I think a lot of it is puppy stuff, especially like last night when it was cool and all the critters were feeling their oats. He was fired up! I’m not sure if there is a way to teach him what is appropriate to bark at and what isn’t, but we’ll figure it out."
