Canine Crania - Your Dog''S Head And Why It Looks That Way

by Cummins Bryan D. Cummins e Racine Kaelyn Racine

~~39,74€~~ 35,77€ 10% OFF

 With the establishment of national kennel clubs, conformation dog shows, and pedigrees that only register "purebred" dogs, the majority of these breeds have only been developed in the last 165 years. Today''s dog comes in a seemingly infinite range of sizes, shapes, coats, and colors. This diversity is the product of selective breeding that, in turn, is primarily in the hands of breeders and judges. Perhaps nowhere is the diversity of the dog more evident than in the skull, which, in contrast to wild canids, is too often misshapen and deformed. With selective breeding to arbitrary standards of canine beauty comes myriad health concerns, including shortened life expectancy in many cases. We have literally shaped--and continue to alter--the domestic dog, but we must ultimately ask two questions: for what purpose and at what cost to our "best friend"?

Canine Agility And The Meaning Of Excellence - Formulating An Ethical Approach

by Dixon Beth A. Dixon

~~34,44€~~ 31,00€ 10% OFF

 This book is a philosophical inquiry about the meaning of excellence in canine agility. No matter how accomplished we are as trainers, students, or competitors, we are all either striving for excellence, realizing excellence, or falling short of it, sometimes by a lot. This study employs a unique methodology to explore the foundational issue of excellence in agility as well as in other canine sports. Using interviews with ordinary practitioners of agility, judges, and competitors, as well as memoirs, autobiographies, and fictional stories, the author formulates and argues for the ethical concept of excellence.

My Broken Dog - Living With A Handicapped Pet

by Kubillus Sandy Kubillus

~~18,54€~~ 16,69€ 10% OFF

 Sandy Kubillus faced a dilemma: whose needs should come first, those of her paralyzed dog or her healthy husband? After a tragic accident killed her first dog, her new puppy died from distemper ten days later. Her third dog, a springer spaniel named Kaylee, survived a fall off a 75-foot cliff at the age of nine months. These three tragedies compelled Sandy to prove that she was not a failure as a pet owner. Kaylee relied on Sandy for everything, and Sandy needed her dog. Kaylee and her eventual successor, Cassie, became Sandy''s "heart dogs"--those once-in-a-lifetime pets that affected her soul, giving her the courage to stand up to her parents, obtain the job of her dreams, and become a better partner to her husband. This memoir examines the realities of helping a dog heal from a traumatic injury, including the stresses it can place on relationships. Filled with the joys of small accomplishments and advice on how to navigate through the rough patches, it offers a lifeline for readers experiencing difficulties with their pets or their lives.
