Socialization
As author Kim Campbell Thornton begins this Simple Solutions guide, “Dogs are known as man’s best friend, but they don’t come ready-made to take on this role.” Socialization unlocks the key to the human-dog bond and explains how well-mannered, well-adjusted dogs are made (not born). A term used by canine behaviorists and trainers, socialization is a fancy five-syllable word for “getting friendly,” which doesn’t come naturally to all dogs. This handy little book begins with a discussion of puppy life stages, showing how puppies developmentally mature and what their ever-changing needs are. New puppy buyers must be aware of the importance of the breeder’s role in socializing a litter of puppies, a critical process of introducing each pup to people, other dogs, and common everyday noises, during its critical developmental stages. Puppies raised without socialization (typically in a commercial breeding establishment, sometimes called a puppy mill) have a decided disadvantage and may never develop into normal, well-adjusted dogs. The book gives the new dog owner advice about planning social outings for the puppy so that he has “People to Meet, Places to Go,” ever expanding his social graces and comfort level with strangers and the not-so-scary-after-all unknown. The author also provides excellent guidance on introducing a dog to a new baby as well as introducing an adopted dog into an established multipet household.
Sloughi
An ancient desert sighthound from northern Africa, the Sloughi remains as mysterious and exotic to the Westerners as do its homelands of Morocco, Algeria, Libya and Tunisia. World authority and leading Sloughi breeder Dr. Marie-Dominique Crapon de Caprona has provided an astoundingly complete portrait of her beloved breed, including an insightful look at the breed's lands of origin, the breed's importation to Europe, the US and Canada, a comparative look at the Sloughi and its close relative the Saluki, Greyhound and Azawakh, and the breeders and famous dogs who have established the breed in the modern-day world of pure-bred dogs.
Skye Terrier
Elegant and dignified, the Skye Terrier, named for the rugged Isle of Skye, stands tall among Scotland’s “below the knee” terriers in character and courage. Few pure-bred dogs match the Skye Terrier in independence and liberal thinking, as this intelligent terrier has a mind of his own and a heart to share with his like-minded, well-informed keeper, who is not averse to a little humility in the training department. Although not a choice for the first-time dog owner, the Skye Terrier proves to be a loyal and devoted companion to those he loves. Likened to a caterpillar, the Skye has a look all his own, “long, low and level” with a profuse coat that “falls straight down either side of the body,” according to the breed standard. The Skye will most assuredly act like a Skye, delighting and challenging his ever-devoted master.Terrier breed expert and author, Muriel P. Lee provides an up-to-date look at the Skye Terrier, including the breed’s history in England and the United States as well as its character and breed standard. The author also details everything that a new owner needs to know about acquiring a well-bred Skye Terrier puppy, bringing him into a safe home and establishing a house-training and obedience regimen. In addition to the basics of everyday care, including feeding, grooming and exercise, this comprehensive guide also includes up-to-date information on healthcare, written by Dr. Lowell Ackerman, well-known Harvard lecturer and veterinarian.Lavishly illustrated, this excellent chapter on preventive healthcare advises owners on selecting a qualified veterinarian, controlling parasites, vaccinations and infectious diseases and more.
