			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yorkshire terriers are famous for their soft, flowing coats. But, it takes a great deal of care to keep the hair in tip-top condition. Fortunately, it is easy to learn how to care for your Yorkshire terrier&#8217;s coat.</p>
<p>The Yorky is acknowledged for its long &amp; flowing coat, to maintain this appearance the coat requires daily grooming. Yorkshire terriers possess what is acknowledged as a &#8217;single coat,&#8217; simply meaning that they do not have an undercoat.</p>
<p>Most cleaning agent made for persons can actually irritate the epidermis of Yorkshire Terriers. Yorkshire terrier epidermis has a lower tolerance to clean-up solutions than human epidermis does. One of the causes of irritation is that Yorkshire terrier epidermis has different PH needs; so using a human&#8217;s cleaning agent can dry your pups epidermis out causing annoyance to you and him.</p>
<p>Start out by teasing out any obvious knots with your fingers.</p>
<p>When washing your Yorkie&#8217;s coat, don&#8217;t scrub it excessively. The clean up action of the hair soap will lift the dirt without scrubbing, and you take the chance of tangling the coat. It is smart to use a tearless hair soap nearby the eyes and face.</p>
<p>anon you have finished with the shampoo and conditioner the next step is to rinse him off. All the leftover shampoo and conditioner can irritate the skin. If you find that he is scratching excessively anon the washing it is probably due to the residue of the clean up solutions used. So it is essential remove all the shampoo and conditioner from the dog as you can.</p>
<p>One of the best things about giving your Yorkie a bath can be drying him off. Because his tresses can easily be tangled into an aggravated mess at this point, you may try bundling him up with a soft absorbent towel and doing some one on one cuddle time. Taking advantage of his awesome snuggly goodness can be rewarding to both of you.</p>
<p>When your Yorkie is no longer dripping, it is time to develop his coat into tip-top shape.</p>
<p>Before you comb your Yorky lightly mist their coat with a solution of warm water &amp; a conventional mild Yorkie conditioner this will assist to soften the coat. If you groom the coat completely dry it can make it harder to work through any kinks &amp; there is more chance that you will break the hair.</p>
<p>Keep away from the pin brushes that have the little balls on the ends of the pins as they have a tendency to pull at the coat &amp; break the fine hair.</p>
<p>Using a long tined metal comb, go over the now sterilize and silky smooth Yorkshire terrier coat. The idea is to remove the snags and kinks still existing even succeedent a appropriate brushing.</p>
<p>To complete your Yorkie&#8217;s look, it is essential to do a few touch-ups.</p>
<p>Some owners prefer to keep their Yorkshire terriers clipped short for ease, this is a first-rate idea but you must ensure that you are prepared to keep this up every few months.</p>
<p>It is equally essential to care for your Yorkie&#8217;s feet. The tresses between the pads should be trimmed so that it is level with the pads. at the same time as you can shape the tresses encircling the feet at this time, it is easier to wait until succeedent you finish his bath.</p>
<p>Some pooches get what has been established as &#8220;dingle berries&#8221;. This is excrement handing from the canine&#8217;s body hair locality of his anus. Sometimes the excrement can actually cover the anus so extensively the dog cannot relieve himself. Thus trimming the body hair locality of the anus opening can and will effectively prevent the condition established as &#8220;dingle berries&#8221;.</p>
<p>Often Yorkies will develop excess tresses inside their ears. This needs to be plucked, or your Yorkie will have an increased take a chance of infection.</p>
<p>With ear clean up solution, use some small gauze squares to freshen his ears. Never put anything small like Q-tips into his ears, it is easy to accidentally damage his eardrums.</p>
<p>Finally, you can decorate your little guy with a fancy ribbon or bow. Of course, many Yorkshire terrier owners prefer their pups to go au-natural instead.</p>
<p>You should also give his nails a quick trim.</p>
<p>Brush his teeth subsequent each bath, and have them checked annually by your vet.</p>
<p>The two main reasons for regular grooming are: If your Yorkshire terrier looks great he/she will feel great. As you are grooming you can check for any sores, lumps or cuts on your dog.</p>
<p>A well cleaned Yorkie is a fit Yorkshire terrier. By grooming your Yorkshire terrier every day, you will keep on top of his health and keep him glad as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shih Tzu dogs are interesting dogs to own and before you invest in a Shih Tzu dog you may want to do a little research into their primary behaviors and characteristics.  There is a lot that is unique to Shih Tzu dogs and some of it good while some of it is bad.  But just like any other pet, if you really love your dog take the time to get to know your dog and its behavior and habits then you&#8217;ll both be much happier.</p>
<p>Shih Tzu dogs like it quiet and they do not react well to a lot of noise and a lot commotion.  For this reason Shih Tzu dogs are not the best dogs to have around kids.  Kids have a tendency to make a lot of noise and if they are young enough they can sometimes make too much noise for the Shih Tzu. One reaction a Shih Tzu has to noise is a nervous biting habit so you may want to talk with your breeder about mixing a Shih Tzu and kids.<br />
Shih Tzu dogs come from dogs that were preferred by ancient Chinese royalty and they know it.  They carry themselves very well and will usually walk very upright and proper.  They do not need a lot of exercise but they love to run and play when they feel the urge and they certainly will not fight the urge to have fun if everyone around them seems to be having fun as well.</p>
<p>As far as noises go they do snore when they sleep so you may want to get your Shih Tzu used to sleeping in its own bed and they can also snort all day long.  However they are not your typical toy breed of dog, as they are most certainly not a yippy dog.  They do not bark all day long and they do not carry on vocally at all unless they have a very good reason.  They don&rsquo;t make great watchdogs but they only speak when they really mean it.<br />
A Shih Tzu dog is not like a Labrador or some other very easy to train breed of dog.  They won&rsquo;t go fetch the ball if they don&rsquo;t feel like it and that simply isn&rsquo;t going to change.  They can be very stubborn and it can take you a long time to get them to realize who is in charge because they think they are.  This also causes problems with housebreaking because sometimes housebreaking a Shih Tzu can take almost six months depending on the dog.</p>
<p><a href='http://shih-tzu-care.wetpaint.com/' target='_blank'>Shih Tzu dogs</a> make great little pets but they need a lot of attention.  They need to be combed regularly to keep their long beautiful coat healthy so that the dog can stay healthy as well.  They also do not like being left alone for more than a few hours at a time so be sure you are going to be able to spend a lot of time with your Shih Tzu.  If you keep this in mind then you will be able to really enjoy your dog.</p>
<p>This article contains a lot of helpful information if you are considering a <a href='http://ezinearticles.com/?Shih-Tzu-Canine-Royalty&#038;id=866043' target='_blank'>Shih Tzu</a> as a pet. You will find some useful <a href='http://shihtzupuppies.multiply.com/' target='_blank'>Shih Tzu information</a> in this article.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is believed that the Bichon Frise has its origins in the Canary Islands from where it was brought to Europe by Italian sailors sometime in the fourteenth century. Essentially, the Bichon Frise dog is curly coated and of toy breed size and it is also the only dog to have a double coat among the Bichon type. It is closely related to the Barbet and Water Spaniel, and were at one time the favorites of both Spanish as well as French royalty, after which they even developed into circus performers.</p>
<p>The Bichon Frise is described as a charming puffball and the Bichon Frise personality is that of being lovable and cute as well as playful and also loving of humans. In addition, he is strong and has an independent spirit and he is also robustly tenacious. The Bichon Frise makes an excellent pet as far as children go and also is ideally suited as a pet for those who have allergies to dogs because he is non-moulting.<br />
The Bichon Frise dog that literally means curly lap dog is a typical toy breed and very popular as well as resembles the Maltese though it is larger in size. The Bichon Frise personality is one that is very intelligent and which is coupled with a happy disposition that makes him a most sought after breed. If you come across a Bichon Frise dog that has been well bred, you will find that it is very playful, sensitive as well as affectionate.</p>
<p>The Bichon Frise is also very cheerful and this is a major aspect to every Bichon Frise personality, as too is his penchant to socialize with humans as well as most other dogs. However, on the downside of the Bichon Frise personality is the fact that he can be very stubborn, though in other instances you may find him to be quite patient as well. Also, don&rsquo;t be surprised should you Bichon Frise nip you once in a while, albeit gently. The Bichon Frise is also very energetic and is often seen racing about in circles.<br />
The <a href='http://hubpages.com/hub/Bichon-Frise' target='_blank'>Bichon Frise dog</a> is a toy breed that is usually of white color and which has a puffball coat. It is also known to be very affectionate and easy to get along with. This excellent companion dog has a penchant to be around people and thus does not thrive when left alone. The main features of the Bichon Frise personality include being very sociable and affectionate and being adaptive to other dogs as well as to children.</p>
<p>The Bichon Frise dog has a very happy temperament and he thrives when in the company of humans and loves the attention that he gets. The Bichon Frise personality is also well known for its intelligent and high level of obedience, and so it can easily be trained and will even learn how to perform tricks for its master. Though a toy breed, the Bichon Frise will not bark too much, this very trait makes him unsuitable for being used as a guard dog.</p>
<p>You should not find much difficulty in learning about the <a href='www.bichonfrise.doggy-blog.com' target='_blank'>Bichon Frise</a> personality as that will help you choose this breed for its affectionate and cute nature, though he can often also turn out to be quite stubborn as well.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Pomeranian is a popular breed, and no wonder. Most dog breeds in the toy group make wonderful pets. Some domesticated dogs were bred to provide some kind of labor service to humankind. Dogs like the Newfoundland, Saint Bernard, and Doberman Pinscher provide useful services like water rescues, snow rescues and property guard duty. Appropriately enough, these dogs are all members of the working group. </p>
<p>Dogs in the sporting group work at hunting and field trials. These dogs include spaniels, setters, pointers, and retrievers like the American Water Spaniel, the English Setter, the German Wirehaired Pointer, and the Curly-Coated Retriever. </p>
<p>The hound group works by tracking prey, either by scent or by sheer stamina. Scent hounds include the Bloodhound, the Basset Hound and the Beagle. While the Greyhound, Saluki and Whippet can outrun nearly any prey animal over the long haul.</p>
<p>The Pomeranian, in contrast to these hard workers, was bred to be a lap dog, a friend and constant companion.<br />
Pomeranians are confident to the point of cockiness, secure in their position as faithful sidekick to the leader of the pack. Your Pomeranian dog will command your attention, so be ready to provide it. These little dogs have giant personalities. They are alert, intelligent, inquisitive and animated. </p>
<p>Pomeranians become extremely attached to their masters, and can be very protective in situations where they perceive their master is being threatened. Because of their protective nature, Pomeranian dogs tend to be suspicious of strangers and treat new people with caution, and they often voice these suspicions by yapping incessantly when meeting new people, especially on their home turf.</p>
<p>Such a strong-willed dog requires a confident owner who is not afraid to take charge of the dog and show it who is boss. If the Pomeranian&#8217;s cocky behavior gets out of hand, it can lead to neurotic behaviors like biting, snapping, moodiness and general unpleasantness.<br />
Many Pomeranians get along well with other dogs that are household companions, but they are territorial and will try to chase strange dogs, even dogs that are substantially bigger than they are. With appropriate training, the <a href='http://pomeranians.multiply.com/' target='_blank'>Pomeranian dog</a> can be an excellent pet. Socialize the Pomeranian early on to avoid his developing bad habits like sharp or shrill barking. Start housebreaking at an early age to get the best results.</p>
<p>The majority of Pomeranians, puppies and adult dogs alike, can be trained and socialized to be loyal, manageable companions. To be sure, your Pomeranian will provide you with endless entertainment and more than enough companionship to ward off loneliness. </p>
<p>If you decide to get a puppy, ask your breeder to suggest an obedience trainer. If you are getting an older dog or a rescue Pomeranian, spend some time with the dog to see what its temperament is like, and seek professional training help if you run into obedience issues.</p>
<p>A devoted lap dog, the <a href='http://hubpages.com/hub/Pomeranian' target='_blank'>Pomeranian</a> is a loyal, protective companion and makes an excellent pet for an elderly person. Breeders and trainers can provide owners with <a href='http://pomeranian-lovers.wetpaint.com/' target='_blank'>Pomeranians information</a> that will help them control any behavior problems that arise.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you and your family have decided that you are ready to bring a Shih Tzu into your home and lives. You have a nice home and plenty of love to give and that is all you need to know when picking a dog, right? Unfortunately, this is not the case, as many different types of dogs have different types of personality. If you select the wrong dog, you may have a situation you did not expect to happen. It is best to know what to expect before selecting a puppy.</p>
<p>The best thing that you can do to make sure that the expectations you have for your dog match and compare that to what the Shih Tzu dog will be able to give based on their personality. It is best to really sit down and think about your lifestyle and how much time you will have to devote one-on-one attention and time to your Shih Tzu dog. Some breeds of dogs require more attention then others so this is something you really must consider. Write out a list of what you would and would not be acceptable from your dog and compare that to the typical personality of the Shih Tzu dog.<br />
Now, it is time to think about the Shih Tzu dog and their breed personalities. Although, not every dog, no matter the breed, will always fit one hundred percent into this well-defined checklist, it is a good guideline to get a feel of what you may expect from this type of breed. You may have written down that you are looking for a dog that does not require a lot of outdoor exercise because of your health reasons. If so, this breed is perfect as they do not require much exercise and they are not as yappy as other toy breeds and therefore will not drive your neighbors crazy.</p>
<p>Even with their short legs and long body, the Shih Tzu dog is a sturdy little dog that will carry himself with a proud sense about him. But don&rsquo;t worry that this breed is a snob as they are still very playful and happy, not only with their owners but with strangers and other pets as well. These characteristics often makes the Shih Tzu dog a perfect choice for those who can&rsquo;t get out a lot, but when they do, they want a relaxed and well-behaved dog.<br />
But if you are looking for a breed that will not be prone to a lot of problems, which can require costly vet bills, then this breed may not be for you. The <a href='http://shihtzudog.gather.com/' target='_blank'>Shih Tzu dog</a> is prone to many things but problems with their breathing are often the most noted issue. Because of their face structure and upturned nose, the Shih Tzu&rsquo;s have a lot of breathing problems which can unfortunately lead to heatstroke if they are in hot and humid weather for too long. </p>
<p>Even though those beautiful, large, and shallow eyes are amazing to look into, they are very much at risk for infection and eye injuries. Disk problems also generally occur in these breeds because of their long backs and their joints are often times a cause of a lot of pain for them. The Shih Tzu dog is also known to have a variety of skin and kidney problems. So, in thinking of whether or not a Shih Tzu dog is right for you, consider all the good and bad and think hard about if they are truly a good fit for you and your home.</p>
<p>The <a href='http://shih-tzu-care.wetpaint.com/' target='_blank'>Shih Tzu</a> comes with not only a great deal of positive qualities, but some important issues as well. Everyone who is considering bringing a Shih Tzu dog into their home should think about both the pros and the cons. When finally deciding to adopt a Shih Tzu dog, it is important to read as much <a href='http://www.shihtzu.doggy-blog.com' target='_blank'>Shih Tzu information</a> as possible.</p>
