 The mark to be aimed at in dog breeding is improvement - improvement of your own stock, improvement in the quality of the puppies which you raise, and finally, improvement of the breed itself.
Many owners argue against the purebred dog. They maintain that mongrels must be smarter than thoroughbred specimens, because performing dogs are practically always mixed breeds. This is true, of course, but the average vaudeville performer who trains these animals is like the rest of us in that he would find it rather expensive to finance the establishment of a troupe of thoroughbreds.
I think that is a lot more likely to be the reason for the performing mutts than any greater degree of intelligence on their part. As a matter of fact, I have trained both thoroughbreds and mixed breeds, and I have no hesitation in saying that the purebred dog showed more sagacity and was more amenable to discipline.
A good point to remember is never to breed dogs which have an hereditary fault, unless it is a minor one and is more than balanced by his outstanding |

 How many times have you been bothered by your own barking dog or your neighbors dog who is excessively barking at all hours of the day and night? Dogs who display excessive barking either indoors or outdoors can cause problems with the pet and owner as well as their neighbors.
If you have an excessive barking dog, then a bark control collar may be the answer to your problem barking. Since dogs do come in various sizes as well as different temperaments, there is a no bark collar specifically designed to suit your needs. Since barking is a dogs main mode of communication with other dogs as well as their human companions, sometimes there is a necessity to eliminate times of unwanted or excess barking. Using a bark control collar or outdoor bark control birdhouse will give you the peace and quiet you have been missing.
Lets start with explaining how the no bark collar or bark control collar works. One of the most effective types of anti-bark collars are the static correction or shock type collars. |
