Book excerpt: "This book tells the amazing true story of one astonishing little boy and the very special dog who has changed his life forever. On a bitterly cold night in January 2012, Haatchi the dog was hit over the head and abandoned on a railway line in London, England, to be hit by a train. Somehow, the puppy survived the blood loss from his partially severed leg and rear tail and managed to crawl away to safety. Fortunately, Haatchi was rescued, although vets couldn't save his leg and tail. He came to the attention of Colleen Drummond and Will Howkins, who aren't just kind-hearted dog-lovers. They are also the dad and stepmother of Owen (known to his family as Little B for 'little buddy'). Owen, now aged eight, has an extremely rare genetic disorder which causes his muscles to permanently tense. Largely confined to a wheelchair, Owen was withdrawn and anxious and found it difficult to make friends. But when the little boy awoke the morning after Haatchi arrived, he immediately fell in love with the severely disabled rescue animal who would, in turn, rescue him"--

Download or read book The Sheep Dogs of Anatolia written by Guvener Isik and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sheep Dogs of Anatolia, Yörük Koyçs, is not intended to be a guide or instruction manual, and the material in the book is presented by integration into stories and the author's personal observations. The author has worked on this book since 1997. Although the focus is the Anatolians, the information provided here is applicable to all Large Guardian Dogs, such as Great Pyrenees, Kuvasz, Alabai, and Ovtcharka. The reader is not forced to accept rules and laws dictated by the author or any club. On the contrary he is encouraged to mold his own methods based on the practices in the rural Anatolia. Rights and wrongs in sheep dog raising are not confined to rules; rather they reside in understanding the mindset of the shepherds, the nature of the flocks, and the dogs, which are summarized in principals. The main source of information in this book is from the authentic shepherds instead of white collar data collectors and the sedentary farmers. No ready- to -swallow pills are provided in order to successfully live with sheep dogs and to benefit from them. Once the reader understands the aboriginal conditions of the sheep dogs, only then can she start seeing where they are coming from and why these primitive dogs act in certain ways. The book helps the reader to understand the source, which allows a smoother journey to the destination.The first half of the book provides general information on the sheep dogs in Anatolia in terms of historical background, descriptions, various strains of dogs, traditional selection, conditioning, feeding, numerous practices, fundamental characteristics, and determining standards of Anatolian sheep dogs in relation to the requirements set by the shepherds. The second part of the book is mostly discussions about the common misunderstandings related to the sheep dogs, such as breed descriptions, training problems, and the concept of primitive breeding. The approach to tackle these issues is radically unconventional, which challenges the show mentality which consists of pedigree based breeding and artificial selection criteria, as well as other practices related to conformation showing. The author also looks at the dog-wolf interaction in terms of flock guarding. The format of the book allows the reader to pick up any chapter from the second part, independent from the first part, and read without having to have read the preceding chapters or accordingly, choose to be done at the end of the first part of the book. In other words, one can feel free to stop reading at the end of Part I if he is not interested in the philosophy behind pastoral sheep dogs. The second half of the book follows with 63 pages of original photographs from the author's private collection and is composed of 119 dog photos from all corners of rural Anatolia.

Book excerpt: “Based on the latest findings in the field of canine cognition and behavior, this book is an invaluable resource.” —Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard To Think Straight About Animals Every dog owner knows that along with the joy can come the stress and frustration of behavioral problems, which are expensive to diagnose and treat. Enter Kim Brophey, award-winning canine behavior consultant. Using cutting-edge research, Brophey has developed a groundbreaking system that allows owners to identify what their dog is struggling with, why, and how they can fix it. Brophey’s approach is unlike anything that has been published before and will give dog owners a new understanding of what motivates and affects their dog’s behavior. This innovative technique rethinks the way we categorize dogs, and distills information from over twenty scientific disciplines into four comprehensive elements: learning, environment, genetics, and self. With revolutionary tips for specific dog breeds, this book will change dog owners’ lives—and lead to happier human-canine relationships. “It’s refreshing to finally find a book that takes into consideration the many predispositions to behavior problems in dogs . . . teaches us to really see the dog in its entirety.” —Alexandre Rossi, author of A Dog at the Keyboard
