Book Description
This book (Boerboels) provides you with a through description and positive attributes of this breed including origin, purpose, history, normal heights and weights, acceptable colors and behavioral traits. Our books differ from most books on dog breeds because this book also provides you with a comprehensive and authoritative source of all the known predisposed hereditary health syndromes for the breed. You will find extensive references for each problem described. We also provide the breed club address for this breed and a list of laboratories and organizations that can provide professional help and information. As a small animal veterinarian, I have always been intrigued by the way dogs have been bred to fill a purpose in life and further impressed that they also tend to love performing that service. Greyhounds and other sight hounds are built for speed with aerodynamic bodies consisting of small head, deep chest, narrow waist and large leg muscles. On the other hand Dachshunds take their name from German words meaning badger dog and they use their long nose, long body and short legs to both track, enter and dig into badger dens. After developing a practice that catered to clients with show dogs, my interest in each breed continued to grow as I studied and observed more and more about the unique predisposition and incidence of health problems in each breed. Breeders of purebred dogs for show were a challenge and inspirational for me to research and help them with their unique health problems. Historically references to hereditary problems are scattered throughout various Veterinary medical texts and journals such as ophthalmology, neurology, gastroenterology, cardiovascular and dermatology. This book, as well as the other books and articles I have written, is researched and compiled with the intention to provide both veterinarians and dog owners with comprehensive and authoritative predisposition information under the breed name. At the date of this publication, The American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation and the The Kennel Club of England reports over 400 known hereditary health syndromes throughout the dog kingdom. At the writing of my first book in 1983, less than 50 hereditary issues are able to be predicted and or diagnosed. Sequencing of the canine genome, DNA tests, metabolic testing including blood tests and urine testing; plus, phenotypic examinations such as radiographs, ultrasound, and CERF or OFA eye registry exams by a Board Certified Veterinary Ophthalmologist have advanced the science of breed related health and behavioral problems. This book will provide veterinarians, researchers, pet owners and breeders with a comprehensive guide to all the known problems veterinarians and dog owners should consider during pet selection and throughout each life stage of our canine friends.

Canis Africanis
Author: Lance Van Sittert
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004154191
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
The role of the dog in human society is the connecting thread that binds the essays in "Canis Africanis," each revealing a different part of the complex social history of southern Africa. The essays range widely from concerns over disease, bestiality, and social degradation through gambling on dogs to anxieties over social status reflected through breed classifications, and social rebellion through resisting the dog tax imposed by colonial authorities. With its focus on dogs in human history, this project is part of what has been termed the 'animal turn' in the social sciences, which investigates the spaces which animals inhabit in human society and the way in which animal and human lives interconnect, demonstrating how different human groups construct a range of identities for themselves (and for others) in terms of animals. So instead of conceiving of animals as merely constituents of ecological or agricultural systems, they can be comprehended through their role in human cultures.

K9 Unit Management
Author: Reinier Geel
Publisher: Trafford
ISBN: 9781412021777
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
"This book is definitely more than just police dog management, and what you need to know to manage a unit of this nature. It gives insight into the core of the men who work in uniforms with dogs, the way they think, the dangers they face, and their remarkable day-to-day experiences. Their insight into the unknown world of dogs and the bond between human and animal is truly remarkable. What is striking is how they put things into perspective. "The author's descriptive style makes it an easy read, and enhances the vast amount of knowledge, facts and real life experience it portrays. "Covering conceptual ideas on the intricacies of police dog culture, in the book he draws easy to understand comparisons. It's like nothing you would expect, and yet is everything that you wanted to know. It covers every minute detail of a K9 unit, and is written in such a fashion that I think it will have something to offer for years to come. For old and new, police and non-police alike, anyone who reads it will learn something, if not about police dogs then about their own dogs." -- Annalie Reid, Kempton Express Newspaper
