WHY BSL WILL NEVER WORK.

Why breed specific legislation will never work

BSL is a flawed concept from the moment it is conceived. In most cases the dogs are targeted leaving the owner, which is the responsible, rational thinking party, out of it.

Some impose fines along with their laws but are often not enforced to the maximum so the owner gets away with a slap on the wrist.

Dogs are not the problem and BSL does not recognize this. People are the problem and until we find a way to punish people for their neglectful actions which allow dogs to bite and terrorize the public we will never stop the problem.

First problem is, take one breed away, these people will find another breed to replace it.

Since the APBT bans the Rottweiler is now on the rise as the most popular breed.

Now these dogs are taking heat from the general public and the BSL supporters. Again they are restricting the dogs and not the people.

BSL can be compared to gender profiling or racial profiling. Simply because a dog appears to be a dog on the restricted list it is treated as one.

What if you were driving down the road and the police took you to jail, sentenced you, and placed you on death row just for looking like a certain ethnic group? BSL does exactly that to dogs.

So why is it then that more BSL laws are implemented daily? God forbid a person have to take responsibility for their irresponsible actions and BSL supports these people by not placing very harsh punishments on them.

HOW TO PREFORM CPR ON A NEW BORN PUPPY

CPR in Newborns Veterinary & Aquatic Services Department, Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc.

If a puppy is born and is not breathing, follow the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) directions outlined below. Have one person contact your veterinarian for help. Clear the airway. Hold the puppy's head downward to allow gravity to help drain fluid from the mouth, throat, and lungs. Use a suction bulb to remove any fluid from the airway. Give two or three little puffs of air into the puppy's mouth and nose. In order to do this, your mouth needs to close around the puppy's mouth and nose. Do not give large breaths, as the puppy's lungs can be easily damaged. Be aware that some diseases such as Brucellosis may result in weak or dead puppies and may be transmitted to humans through contact with the puppy or fluids. Check for a heartbeat; feel the chest wall between your fingers or use a stethoscope. If no heartbeat is found, compress the chest in the area right at the back of the bent elbow. This is the approximate location of the heart. Press the chest between the thumb and forefinger. Compress quickly. Remember a newborn puppy's normal heart rate is 120-180+ beats per minute. Every 15-20 seconds, give another couple puffs of air. Each minute check for a heartbeat/breathing. If the heart is beating slowly, stimulate the puppy by rubbing it roughly (but carefully) with a towel, turning it over in your hands, or holding it by its scruff. This puppy needs stimulation and may need you to give it a few breaths of air in order for it to live. Continue to work with this puppy for 20 minutes to see if it can be saved. If the heart is not beating, continue the CPR for about 5 minutes. If the puppy is not alive and active by then, it is unlikely the puppy will be saved. KINNEMAN PIT BULL KENNEL

BREED ISN'T DESTINY - A PIT BULL ARTICLE BY CESAR MILLAN

I don't agree with the common assumption that a dog's breed will dictate the rest of her life, especially if she is first viewed as a animal-dog. When people say to me,, "I'm terrified of pit bulls; pit bulls are killers," I introduce them to Daddy, the star pit bull of my pack, who is the sweetest, mellowest, most friendly and easy going dog you will ever meet in your life. Daddy is indeed a pit bull by breed, and with his giant head and neck, he looks like quite an intimidating pit bull at that! But those of who who know Daddy see him as just a wonderful, totally lovable animal-dog wearing the outfit of a pit bull. As long as I address and fulfill all of his animal-dog needs first, the pit bull side of him will not surface in a negative fashion. But when those needs aren't fulfilled in a dog breed can and often does become a factor in his physical and psychological responses to the stresses of life, and the pent-up energy that often follows.

The DNA of a dog's breed contains par of her "instruction manual" so to speak. You dog's breed is made of what she was built for., so the more purebred she is, the more likely she will draw on the characteristics of her breed in order to release excess energy and frustration.

I started working with Daddy when he was four months old. If I had not given him vigorous daily exercise when he was younger, if I had not been clear and consistent about his rules, boundaries, and limitations for the time he was a puppy; and if I did not stay on the job 100 percent of the time as his unquestionable pack leader, them, if he became frustrated, perhaps Daddy's pit bull genes could have driven him to become destructive. But the point is, with steady pack leadership, I freed him from the fate of living out the bad stereotypes in this genes. Even the half-dozen other pit bulls in my pack, all of whom were aggressive either to humans or dogs before their rehabilitation, are no longer doomed to forever play the role of the "killer pit bull". Bu fulfilling their most basic needs, I can peel away their pit bull overcoats and let them enjoy life simply by being dogs among other dogs.

TRAINING TIPS FOR YOUR DOG - BY CESAR MILLAN

THE BEST TOOL IN THE WORLD

Training is a term we have been conditioned to accept as something we do through tasks and by using tools. This is true, but sometimes the tools we use, we cannot see, taste, smell, or physically touch. - Brandon Carpenter, horse trainer.

Often when I'm doing a public appearance or leading one of my seminars, I'm approached by people who want to know what I think is the absolute the number one best, most consistently reliable tool for training and rehabilitating a dog. They are often surprised when I tell them that the best tool they could ever have for controlling their dog is something they already own. They carry that tool with them every day, every where they go. Their tool is their energy. In fact that is the only tool I will come out and advocate every time.

The energy that you give off must be a calm assertive energy. The only energy that your dog will respect and obey. If you are screaming or get frustrated easy while you are training your dog, your dog will sense that you are unbalanced. When they sense this, they will not listen to you. In the wild dogs do not follow unbalanced pack leaders. This is no different with people. Assertive means that you are firm with them, and you let them know that you are in charge at all times.

FOOD THAT YOU SHOULD NEVER FEED YOUR DOG

Written by:
Laurinda Morris, DVM
Danville Veterinary Clinic
Seaside , CA

This week I had the first case in history of raisin
toxicity ever seen at MedVet. My patient was
a 56-pound, 5 yr old male neutered lab mix
that ate half a canister of raisins sometime
between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM on Tuesday. He
started with vomiting, diarrhea and shaking
about 1AM on Wednesday but the owner didn't
call my emergency service until 7AM.

I had heard somewhere about raisins AND
grapes causing acute Renal failure but hadn't
seen any formal paper on the subject. We
had her bring the dog in immediately. In the
meantime, I called the ER service at MedVet,
and the doctor there was like me - had heard
something about it, but ... Anyway, we
contacted the ASPCA National Animal Poison
Control Center and they said to give IV fluids
at 1 & 1/2 times maintenance and watch the
kidney values for the next 48-72 hours.

The dog's BUN (blood urea nitrogen level) was
already at 32 (normal less than 27) and
creatinine over 5 (1.9 is the high end of normal).
Both are monitors of kidney function in the
bloodstream. We placed an IV catheter and
started the fluids. Rechecked the renal values
at 5 PM and the BUN was over 40 and creatinine
over 7 with no urine production after a liter of
fluids. At the point I felt the dog was in acute
renal failure and sent him on to MedVet for a
urinary catheter to monitor urine output overnight
as well as overnight care.

He started vomiting again overnight at MedVet
and his renal values have continued to increase
daily. He produced urine when given lasix as a
diuretic. He was on 3 different anti-vomiting
medications and they still couldn't control his
vomiting. Today his urine output decreased
again, his BUN was over 120, his creatinine was
at 10, his phosphorus was very elevated and his
blood pressure, which had been staying around
150, skyrocketed to 220 ... He continued to vomit
and the owners elected to Euthanize.

This is a very sad case - great dog, great owners
who had no idea raisins could be a toxin. Please
alert everyone you know who has a dog of this
very serious risk.

Poison control said as few as 7 raisins or grapes could
be toxic. Many people I know give their dogs grapes
or raisins as treats including our ex-handler's. Any
exposure should give rise to immediate concern.

Onions, chocolate, cocoa, bakers chocolate, and macadamia nuts can
be fatal, too.

Also be careful when you let your dog into the garage. antifreeze sometimes leaks on the ground and they may drink it.

AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIERS - FEEDING TIPS FOR YOUR DOG

Common Feeding Mistakes People Make

Common Feeding Mistakes People Make Food carries a powerful message in the dog world. By Cesar Millan Feeding provides your dog with nutrition and gives you the opportunity to shape your dog’s behavior. Don’t Miss Out on the Ritual of Feeding When puppies are little, they wait to be fed by their mother. This waiting is a form of work – psychological work, and it builds a healthy state of mind. Day after day, this ritual plays out among the pack. I take my dogs for a walk before I feed them. This form of waiting provides my dogs with psychological work and builds a healthy mind. The walk also promotes a healthy body and allows my dogs to experience the world. Don’t Reinforce Negative Behaviors When Feeding Dogs don’t get fed when their mind is excited, nervousness, tense or aggressive. They get fed when their mind is calm and submissive, which is what their animal pack leader would require. Make sure your dog has reached a calm and submissive state before you place the food bowl in front of him. If you feed him when he displays any negative behaviors, such as nerves or excitement, you will reinforce these behaviors and guarantee that they will reoccur. Food carries a powerful message in the dog world. Understanding its meaning and consequences will allow you to connect with your dog and help him to lead a happy, balanced life.

BLUE PIT BULL INFORMATION AND FACTS ABOUT PITBULLS

REGISTRATION: Most American pitbulls are registered with the UKC (United Kennel Club) . Some are registered with the ADBA (American Dog Breeders Association). Some are dual registered and are registered with the ADBA and the UKC. If you have a dog that is UKC registered you can still have it dual registered. You simply send the UKC information and a picture of the dog to the ADBA.

COLOR: American Pit bulls have a variety of colors including blue pit bull, red, fawn, black, white, piebald, and many combinations. A bluenose pitbull simply means that the dog's nose has a grey tone to it.

BLOODLINE: An American pit bull terrier's Bloodline is simply the kennel that produced the dog. If you look on your registration papers you will see a kennel name or last name of the breeder who produced each dog. When someone states they have a 50% Razors Edge dog, it simply means that 50% of the dogs in the pedigree stemmed from Razors Edge Kennel. The dog is still 100% "American Pit Bull Terrier".
MISCONCEPTIONS OF THE BREED:

• Pitbulls are born mean FALSE
• They have locking jaws FALSE
• They are born human aggressive FALSE
• They "snap" for no reason FALSE
• They are naturally aggressive towards children and small animals FALSE
• They are born killers FALSE

DOG ATTACKS: Behind every pitbull attack lies a bad owner that deliberately created an aggressive dog, or a uneducated owner that did not properly exercise and train their dog.

REAL TALK: "american pit bulls" were bred to never harm a human hand. When a pit bull attacks a person it is uncharacteristic of their breed and is looked down upon by respectable breeders.

THE BAD REP: The pitbull's bad reputation comes from the media. News channels need dramatic stories to make money. "Deadly pitbull attacks innocent child" sells better than "Man bitten in the ass by golden retriever". That's why you don't see the media focus on other breeds that attack people. It doesn't sell. Pitbull rarely attack people, but when that's the only breed that the media focuses on, it gives the impression that it happens often.

"AMERICAN PIT BULL TERRIERS" ARE THE SAME AS

• blue pit bulls
• American bullies
• blue nose pit bull
• blue pitbull
• fawn pit bulls
• bully pit bull
• ukc or adba registered pitbulls

"Amercan Pit Bull Terriers" ARE NOT THE SAME AS
