Download or read book A New Owner s Guide to Airedale Terriers written by Jaime Cabet and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Airedale terriers, also known as "Airedales," originated from the Yorkshire region of England. The Airedales belong to the class of dogs called the terriers, and the Airedale has been nicknamed the "King of Terriers." The nickname was given to the Airedale, because it is the largest canine in the terrier class. The Airedale weighs approximately 55 to 65 pounds, and grows to be about two feet tall. Airedales have medium-length black and tan coats, with a wiry topcoat that feels soft and fluffy underneath. The coat covering the back and legs appears curly and stiff, and must be regularly groomed. The Airedale does not shed much, if any, fur. Many Airedales have a surgical procedure done shortly after birth, called docking. The term docking means shortening the tail of the canine, which makes the tail stiff and stand at attention.

Download or read book New Owner s Guide to Yorkshire Terriers written by Linda F and published by Hyperink Inc. This book was released on 2012-03-02 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Yorkshire Terriers are majestic little dogs; proud and intelligent with flowing locks and human-like hair. With their spunky attitude that belies their size, the 'Yorkie' is a popular choice among dog lovers. The Yorkshire Terrier, which originally hails from the English city of Yorkshire, was a working class dog, primarily used as rat catchers in nineteenth century clothing mills. Later on, the dog left the realm of the working classes to become a companion pet for high society families in Europe. The breed was first recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1885. EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK To socialize your Yorkshire Terrier effectively, you should start by introducing him to as many different people as possible. Encourage gentle play and petting. Make careful choices; a single well-behaved child will offer your dog a more positive experience that a group of noisy ones will. Next on the agenda are the sights, sounds and smells of life outside. Try and incorporate a variety of environments into your daily walk. Take him to the park, down a busy street and pay particular care to visit places that you would normally frequent; it is imperative that he becomes used to a wide variety of locations. As the weeks pass, you can build upon his social skills by introducing more and more stimuli. Yorkshire Terriers can find it difficult to get along with other animals, so you should tackle this potential issue as soon as his inoculations have been administered. Puppy training classes are a great idea, but you should also attempt to introduce your dog to cats and rabbits from an early age to avoid problems later. Your Yorkshire Terrier and Children All things considered, the Yorkshire Terrier is a friendly breed of dog, although special care should be taken if you have children. Your dog will have been introduced to children of all ages as part of your socialization efforts, but it is a different thing to have a child meet a dog once to having children and dogs share your home on a full-time basis. Yorkshire Terriers are one of the smallest breeds of dog in the world and can be extremely vulnerable to rough play. They are prone to snap if physically hurt, so the majority of quality breeders will not allow a Yorkshire Terrier to be placed with a family that has children under seven years old...

Download or read book Jack Parker s Wiseguys written by Tim Rappleye and published by University Press of New England. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the winter of 1977-78, anyone within shouting distance of a two-mile stretch of Boston's Commonwealth Avenue - from Fenway Park to the trolley curve at Packard's Corner - found themselves pulled into the orbit of college hockey. The hottest ticket in a sports-mad city was Boston University's Terriers, a team so tough it was said they didn't have fans - they took hostages. Eschewing the usual recruiting pools in Canada, Jack Parker and his coaching staff assembled a squad that included three stars from nearby Charlestown, then known as the "armed robbery capital of America." Jack Parker's Wiseguys is the story of a high-flying, headline-dominating, national championship squad led by three future stars of the Miracle on Ice, the medal-round game the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team won against the heavily favored Soviet Union. Now retired, Parker is a thoughtful statesman for the sport, a revered figure who held the longest tenure of any coach in Boston sports history. But during the 1977-78 season, he was just five years into his reign - and only a decade or so older than his players. Fiery, mercurial, as tough as any of his tough guys, Parker and his team were to face the pressure-cooker expectations of four previous also-ran seasons, further heightened by barroom brawls, off-the-ice shenanigans, and the citywide shutdown caused by one of the biggest blizzards to ever hit the Northeast. This season was to be Parker's watershed, a roller-coaster ride of nail-biting victories and unimaginable tragedy, played out in increasingly strident headlines as his team opened the season with an unprecedented twenty-one straight wins. Only the second loss of the year eliminated the Terriers from their league playoffs and possibly from national contention; hours after the game Parker's wife died from cancer. The story of how the team responded - coming back to win the national championship a week after Parker buried his wife - makes a compelling tale for Boston sports fans and everyone else who feels a thrill of pride at America's unlikely win over the Soviet national team - a victory forged on Commonwealth Avenue in that bitter, beautiful winter of '78.

Download or read book American Working Terriers written by Patrick Burns and published by Patrick Burns. This book was released on 2006-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical, common sense, terrier work for the beginner, laid out in a clear no-nonsense style with chapters on the history of working terriers in Europe and America, along with sections on introducing young dogs to work, tools, technique, American terrier quarry, hazards, and veterinary care for working dogs. The sections on veterinary care and tools alone will save most people more money than the cost of this book, while the tips on digging, locator collars, skunk toxic shock, and handling quarry at the end of a dig, may save you more than money. This is a book on working terriers, but if you show, breed or judge any type of working terrier you need to read chapters one, two and four, not only to understand the true history of working terriers in Great Britain and the United States, but also to understand why (and how) show judges have selected for linked structural characteristics that have resulted in breed after breed disappearing from the working field. 270 pages, with 80 photos and illustrations.
