Dog Items: Collar vs. Harness

I have experienced that time when Twix, my male shih tzu, kept on tugging his leash as he tried to run after a moving car. We were at the parking lot of Tiendesitas in Pasig City, and Twix was barking loudly. Maybe he smelled something bad about the car.

 Good thing, I had used a reliable leash and harness on Twix, so it's easier to stop him from being a nuisance. I never buy those cute dog collars because I used to think that could make the dog choke to death if you pulled it the wrong way. Imagine, the dog's running and you pull the leash hard enough to make the dog stop, because he's already choking... It's just sad.

Female Dog Heat Cycle & Knowing the Signs

Guada, my female shih tzu, started to "heat" when she was about seven months old. Twix, my male shih tzu, would usually climb onto her and try to mate with her. In one instance, Twix had been able to shoot into Guada, and 2 months later, she gave birth to 3 wonderful puppies.

For small breeds, first heat usually occurs between 6 to 9 months of age. Then the succeeding heats occur every six months from then on. What are the signs that the dam is approaching heat?

Red and Green Marks on PCCI Registration Cert.: What Do They Mean?

Twix@FunRanch

Last year when I got Twix, my friend Fiel who's also the breeder gave me a registration certificate that had to be transferred in my name as Twix's new owner. I saw 3 red marks on the PCCI registration certificate and wondered what they mean.


Here are the things that I found out about the red marks and green marks that some breeders or dog sellers are bragging about their dogs.
