Desert puppy Tomi
27th February 2009
I found one desert puppy and gave him name Tomi. He is strong boy with big paws, sandy color with white marks, probably 4 months old and seems healthy. He was living around workers in desert who used to feed him.
Rescued Puppies II
13th February 2009
I found next two puppies of desert dogs. They are very beautiful, healthy, probably 3 months old. The girl has sandy color, the boy is black with gilded and white marks. They seem to be mix german shepherd.
I gave them names Sandy and Blacky. Both of them were very hungry and thirsty. I started to feed them with granules Royal Canin for puppies. I will mix it with boiled chicken meat sometimes - all puppies love it.
Life with Max
Dog: Max (one of rescued puppies - see section "Rescue Desert Dogs")
Owners: Karen, Quentin, Jordan and Paige
Email from 25th January 2009
We got Max back in Oct 2008. He was so cute that I felt like he was a human baby, I wanted to pick him up all the time, make sure he was getting enough food and water and being quite when he was napping. Well he's almost five months old and getting big everyday. When my kids went back to school from a winter break the bus monitors couldn't believe how tall he has gotten. But I've been told that he's still growing. For the moment Max and my daughter Paige (she's just 5) are about the same height.
Life with Bamboo
Dog: Bamboo (one of rescued puppies - see section "Rescue Desert Dogs")
Owners: Marcela & Radovan
9th January 2009
Our Bamboo is 4.5 months today, has already 15 kg and is really wonderful dog. Some people have told me in the past that desert dogs are "wild" but I definitely do not agree! He is very gentle to us and to our other dogs (the heaviest of them has only 6 kg). Bamboo loves to walk with us and play with doggy friends (especially with his sister Barča and our other dog Fanda). Sometimes he paws holes but it is no problem because we established one place for this his hobby. He knows already „come to me", „sit", „give paw". He is very smart and would know more but I am afraid I had not much time for his training in last few weeks. Now I plan to teach him „down", „stay" and improve walk near leg.
Life with Toby
Dog: Tobby (one of rescued puppies - see the section "Rescue Desert Dogs")
Owners: Maxine & Stephen & Joshua
Email from 23rd December 2008
Many people have fallen in love with Tobby and he has
become a bit of a celebrity on our compound (He went christmas carol singing on Sat
evening!). He goes over the coffee shop with us regularly and curls up under the table
with a chew stick (yes,in the freezing cold!) and many people make a fuss of him
that miss their own dogs from home. He has made a lot of doggy friends too from
mad spaniels that he plays crazy chasing games with to a massive german shepherd
'uncle' who lets Toby jump all over him and chew his ears.
Training and Safety
DOG TRAINING
When puppy makes something wrong, it is very important to correct him directly after this thing. The puppies have very short memory and if you correct the puppy with delay after wrong act, the puppy is confused and does not know why you are angry. The puppies have short memory for things like this.
Zvířecí domov „Sirius“
Přináším reportáž z místa, kde se dvě dámy středního věku starají o 39 pejsků a více než 100 koček. Dávají jim všechnu svou lásku, čas, peníze, zvířata jsou celý jejich život. Většinu svých svěřenců nevydávají, protože jsou jejich mazlíčky, navíc někteří z nich hendykepovaní či příliš staří. Tento zvířecí domov se jmenuje „Sirius“ a nachází se na konci malé obce Záhoří u Písku.
Rescued Puppies I
24th October 2008 – morning
I found 5 puppies in front of one compound in Riyadh.
They are babies of „Saudi Desert Dogs“. „Saudi Desert Dogs“ are not formal breed but all of these dogs look very similar – they usually have short hair, sandy color, white socks and white chest. They have size like smaller german shepherd. They are very beautiful, smart, faithfull and are not degenerate yet.
Puppy´s Bed and Hygiene
PUPPY'S BED
Pup puppy's letty on some quiet place in a room, where you spend the most time every day (it is usually some corner in the living room). When the puppy is sleeping do not disturb him (you do not like also when somebody disturbs you during sleeping). You can move the puppy's letty to your bedroom for the night (or buy the second letty) if you want to have the puppy still near you. It is good to be near the puppy during the first nights in his new home, because the puppy miss his dog family, is confused and needs to be with somebody.
Puppy´s feeding habits
A puppy must always be fed his meals according to a puppy feeding schedule or chart at the same times and place. Up until six months of age, the puppy will need to eat about four meals a day (for example at 8am -12am – 16pm – 20pm). The puppy needs regular regime. At six months a puppy must eat two meals a day. Not too long ago, it was recommended to feed a puppy only one time a day, but now it has been observed that it is better to feed two times a day (morning and evening).
De-worming and Vaccination, Care about body
DE – WORMING (must be in every case…as curing or prevention)
Until three months it is necessary to de-worm (also as prevention) every two weeks (for example tablets Drontal, Caniverm, Ambex). From three months old until one year de-worm every tree months.
From one year old de-worm every six months (if you have small baby at home so do it every three months).
Hard life of animals in Saudi Arabia
There are really very bad conditions for dogs, cats and other animals in the most of pet shops (for example one of the cruelest is pet shop Life & Nature in Riyadh). Dogs and cats are kept in small cages with show window so they are like in aquarium. They must stay on concrete or grates (also small puppies!), are closed in cages all the time and nobody leaves them to walk. Fresh clean water should be available all the time but it is not (not even for nursing females!). Dogs and cats get water usually only two times daily for short time.
And what does Islam says about it?
I have been studying Islam in context with animal rights and it's interesting that although The Holy Koran is one of the earliest records authenticating animal rights. Islam is one of the few religions which specifically endorses rights to animals and acknowledges they are an important part of Allah's creation, our world and, as such, we are expected to show respect and a responsibility toward them.
"HAPPY DOG" SALON
I am very sorry to inform all owners of dogs that Happy Dog Salon is closed. I left Saudi Arabia for good in April 2009. I will never forget my clients and friends. Love, Marcela
