The Maltese Terrier - Breed Information

The Maltese derives his name from the island of Malta, off the coast of Italy.  The Maltese is a very ancient breed, and was know in the Mediterranean before the time of Christ.  He is a handsome, intelligent dog, always inquisitive, and makes a wonderful pet.  He is very popular in the USA.

The coat is single, that is without undercoat, it hangs long, flat and silky over the sides of the body almost, if not quite, to the ground.  The long head-hair may be tied up in a topknot or it may be left hanging.

Mitch & Luka The Spanish Water Dogs

Spanish Water Dogs need to be shaved down at least once a year and must be done using the same blade all over so the hair grows back evenly.  Spanish Water Dogs are never ever blow dryed or brushed so they thats why they should be cut once a year to allow the skin to breathe and get rid of any matts.

TICKS - Its That Time Of Year Again

Ticks are parasitic arthropods that feed on the blood of their hosts. They are attracted to warmth and motion. Ticks tend to hide out in tall grass or plants in wooded areas waiting for prospective hosts. Once a host is found, the tick climbs on and attaches its mouthparts into the skin, beginning the blood meal. Once locked in place, the tick will not detach until its meal is complete. It may continue to feed for several hours to days, depending on the type of tick. On dogs, ticks often attach themselves in crevices and/or areas with little to no hair – typically in and around the ears, the areas where the insides of the legs meet the body, between the toes, and within skin folds. Most species of ticks go through four life stages - eggs, larvae, nymphs, and adults. All stages beyond eggs will attach to a host for a blood meal (and must do so on order to mature). Depending on species, the life span of a tick can be several months to years, and female adults can lay hundreds to thousands of eggs at a time.
