Overview

The Australian Shepherd has its origin in North America were it was developed during the nineteenth century. It is not entirely sure where the “Australian” came from. The English Shepherd, Dorset Blue Shag, Cumberland Sheepdog, Scottish Collie, Glenwherry Collie, Bouvier des Flandres, and the Welsh Sheepdog were all breeds that were used to develop the Australian Shepherd. Most of the dogs that used to develop this breed came from Great Britain and Scotland. After the Second World Ward these dogs were often used in Western movies, in rodeos and on television shows. They also became very popular companions on farms and ranches.

Temperament

Anatolian Shepherds are extremely loyal dogs that are also used as guard dogs. This breed is extremely intelligent, and also very easy to train. They will also pick up new skills very quickly, and are not ideal for people with no previous dog ownership experience. Owners of these dogs should be natural leaders that will dominate so that the dog can learn appropriate behaviours. The Anatolian Shepherd is also a very courageous, calm and watchful dog – self-assured, but not aggressive. They can however be a bit wary of strangers. You will find these dogs to be very loving toward their families, but people they don’t know should be gradually introduced to them. In general these dogs will get along well with everyone, unless there is a reason for them to be suspicious of someone. This breed can however be tough on itself, and somewhat stubborn.

Care

Australian Shepherds are average to heavy shedding dogs, and will not be well suited to those suffering from allergies. This breed should be brushed on a weekly basis with a firm hair brush, and a thorough brushing is suggested every 6-8 weeks. It is also advised that these dogs are brushed just before they are bathed to prevent further matting. After these dogs are bathed, they should be blow dried until they are completely dry. If their coats are left damp, skin problems might be created.

Training

It is advised that training for these dogs begin at a very early age. Motivational training methods should be used on a consistent basis. These dogs will also do best in a loving, safe and fair training environment. This breed is very patient toward their owners, and very loyal toward their families. Australian Shepherd is natural protectors and will not need extra protection training. These dogs should get obedience training at a very young age as they will follow what they have learned early on in their lives. The Australian Shepherd should also be socialised as they tend to mature fairly slowly.

Health problems

Some of the major health concerns this breed has trouble with includes Cataracts, Collie Eye Anomaly, autoimmune disorders and hip dysplasia. These dogs are also at risk for some genetic eye defects such as ocular coloboma, iris coloboma, juvenile and senior cataracts and a detached retina. The Australian Shepherd is also very sensitive to ivermectin which is used in used in heartworm medicines.

Can-C eye drops safely reverse cataracts and are approved by the IVP for use on cataract suffering adults and backed by veterinarians for use on the common condition in senior dogs. The new treatment avoids the need for surgical removal of cataracts and high priced private surgery while offering affordability and acknowledged proven results.

Dr. Mark Babizhayev Ma, PhD has patented a clinically trialled eye drop that has been proven to reverse cataracts without the need for surgery. It uses the raw material N-Acetylcarnosine to reverse the damage of cataracts by simply applying several drops into the eye each day.

Statistically the United Kingdom has over 500,000 cataract suffers waiting for surgery at any one time. Just one London Hospital carries out 250 – 500 cataract surgeries every week. Can-C N-Acetylcarnosine eye drops is a safe and effective way to treat cataracts without the need for surgery.

As expected people in the international market place saw the opportunity to capitalise on this breakthrough and started to offer similar products that came with very poor results. Dr. Babizhayev voiced his concerns by saying “these companies often reference my research in their marketing efforts even though they have no affiliation with me and are definitely not offering my proprietary N-acetylcarnosine (Can-C) formulation which the research was based upon.”

Fortunately there is a simple way for consumers to Verify if they have purchased the “Clinically Proven Formula” because each product has the statement “Approved by Innovative Vision Products (IVP).” printed directly on the box!

IVP is a Pharmaceutical and Nanotechnology Development Company with a portfolio of patent protected innovative chemical entities, drug delivery systems, and unique medical devices to target specific biomedical applications. Do Not be fooled by random formulations and claims from other companies.

Remarkably the success is not limited to humans as Can-C eye drops are available for Canine or Dog cataracts too. Happily, many dog owners are using this product to effectively address their pet’s cataract condition including veterinarians.

Jack Stephans DVM of Pets Best Insurance said “as a veterinarian I want to let you know that I am recommending N-acetylcarnosine (Can-C) for the treatment of canine cataracts. After applying Can-C eye drops to my 15 year old miniature pinscher, “Skeeter”, for one year, the cataract in his right eye has diminished! Your cataract eye drops are a modern scientific miracle for our pets.”

Like Dr Stephans we all love our pets and would do most anything to help them enjoy their more senior years. Administering Can-C is safe, affordable and has no reported side effects backed by controlled clinical trials.

The dog coat is made especially for dogs with a low tolerance for colder climates. All dogs were not created equal. Some are bred to withstand sub zero temperatures while others are bred to live a little closer to the equator, where on occasion it can get uncomfortably cold in certain places.

Dogs like the St. Bernard and Newfoundland have a lot of meat on their bones and a natural thick wooly coat of hair to protect them from harsh outdoor conditions. The Alaskan sled dogs, Siberian Husky and Alaskan Malamute, are amazing when it comes to withstanding the frigid Alaskan weather. Everyone has seen those clips of the sled dogs asleep on the snow during blizzard conditions. This is what these dogs were made for, withstanding extremely cold climates.

Most dogs with a short coat of hair and a muscular build are not bred to tolerated cold climates. There is virtually no fat on these dogs to protect them from the cold. These type dogs are the ones that need extra protection, in the way of a dog coat, during the cold winter months. Even with limited exposure to the cold, certain breeds need extra protection.

There are big dogs and small dogs that fit these criteria. Two extreme examples are the short haired Chihuahua and the Doberman Pinscher. Neither dog has enough fat for protection and they surely cannot rely on that short coat to keep them warm. These type dogs suffer when the temperature dips below 40 degrees.

Senior dogs suffering from joint pain due to arthritis, can be negatively affected by the cold. Cold natured dogs need protection from the elements even if they are only exposed for a short time. Going outside to eliminate does not take long, but it might be long enough to have an adverse affect on the dog. A good quality dog coat will provide that protection from the elements, rain and bitter cold temperatures.

Considering the warmth factor, check the thickness of the coat. Does it provide enough protection for the climate in your region? Is there adequate padding? People living a cold rainy environment would definately need a waterproof coat. Be sure to measure the dog correctly, from the shoulderblades to the base of the tail, to ensure a good snug fit while covering all the vital areas that need to be protected. Some dog coats will fasten around the chest and mid section with padded velcro straps. Plastic snaps or buckles and nylon straps are used for others.

Before making the purchase, throw together a makeshift coat at home to see how the dog will react to wearing a garment. The last thing to take into account is whether or not the dog coat is machine washable and safe for the dryer.
