It’s here...

A Comprehensive 5 hour Course on 5-DVD Discs * Puppy rearing from birth to 12 weeks and older. * Learn from top veterinary behaviorists, breeders, and dog trainers. * Scientifically proven to greatly improve outcomes for puppies

E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com

Jane Killion, author of When Pigs Fly, has assembled a team of experts to give fascinating insight, deep wisdom, and practical instruction for breeders, puppy owners or anyone else who touches puppies. Over 50 lessons are organized on a logical, week-by-week timeline to give breeders and puppy owners a clear roadmap for raising a puppy. The film follows one litter of puppies through the program and checks back on them over the next three years so you can see the profound, almost unbelievable results of the Puppy Culture program!

Puppy Culture Product Review

Hammock Beds: Recommendations and Brand Comparisons.

Why You Need Hammock Beds For Your Puppies Puppies love hammock beds - it makes a cozy nest and it keeps the puppies clean and off the floor. I think they like the way it sinks in the middle and give that “den” feeling.

It also makes a great play fort, as you can see in this clip from Puppy Culture:

What size to get?

The beds come in many sizes so here’s a reference for you: 7-8 Bull Terrier puppies can comfortably fit in a 24x36 bed up to about 9 weeks of age.

E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com

Although they inexplicably do like to jam themselves into small places, we still add a second bed when they start falling off the sides or they can’t comfortably fit on it in one layer.

These puppies are 9 weeks old.

Which Brand Is Best?

It’s rare that you can unequivocally point to one product as winning on every point, but the hands down, winner for us in every category are the Kuranda beds. http://kuranda.com/ Here are the points that keep Kuranda beds head and shoulders above the rest:

k Hidden edges on the webbing.

Kuranda has brilliantly hidden the webbing inside the PVC frame so there’s nothing to chew.

The puppies would love to destroy it, but their little mouths just can’t get a purchase on anything. Sort of like the shark scene from James and the Giant Peach. You see a lot of furious activity but in the end the worst is a couple of scratches.

NICE!

In contrast, here is a photo of the Max 200 bed we started with - this is the way the demise,of the bed begins, and then it progresses rapidly to it being chewn in half, and the puppies are lying on the floor. We went through 5 or 6 of these very expensive (and incredibly difficult to put on) covers before we bought the Kurandas.

Now we’ve had the Kurandas with their original covers for over three years.

AMAZING! continued on next page...

E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com

Puppy Culture Product Review

Hammock Beds: Recommendations and Brand Comparisons.

Why You Need Hammock Beds For Your Puppies,continued...

k Super-durable plastic

Even after three years, our expert adult chewers did not manage to completely destroy this bed that we keep on the back deck. And they really tried!

k Overall, very reasonable price Amazon has the 36x 72 Kuranda bed listed for $72.00 including shipping.

The very cheapest PVC hammock bed I could find was at Lowes, which was $41.00 They do not sell replacement covers (at least, could not see any on their site), and the cheapest replacement covers I could find are 30+ dollars. So the price is really about the same, if you figure you will go through at least one cover per litter.

If your puppies are not self-contained-wrecking-units, the Lowe’s product might be a good deal, but I still don’t like that little space where a leg could get jammed between the PVC and the webbing.

E Dalmatians | www.edalmatians.com

Oh, and don’t bother with the fleece covers.

This photo was taken literally within one second of putting the covered bed in the weaning pen.

Bull Terrier puppies are divining rods for the destroy-able portion of anything you put in their tank, I mean, pen. They don’t even have to investigate the whole thing to find the part they can chew - the weak part of the item sends out some kind of signal to the litter and they go straight there.

Your puppies may not be this efficient at destruction, in which case the covers are very nice.

We got sick of replacing the fleece covers and now use nice fluffy double sided fleece beds, instead.

It’s stiff enough to lay flat and not ball up and they can’t chew it.

Yes, not cheap, but lasts forever with puppies.

So the Kuranda beds get the Puppy Culture Heart of Approval - this is an unsolicited and unsponsored endorsement - we received no compensation from Kuranda but we sure do love their products!

Staff Photographer Linda Davis

Dalmatians

Copy Editor/ Writer Karen McNamara

Writer Jane Killion

Writer Michelle Wrath

Linda serves as staff photographer for the EQUIERY Magazine and Official Photographer for the

TROT-SAR Search and Rescue Team as well as E Dog Magazines.

She specializes in candid photography which caputures the spirits and personalities of dogs and horses (oops don’t forget Lucky the sheep ). Her photos were selected as Grand Prize Winner for Foster and Smith Catalog, Revival Animal Health and 365 Dogs a Day Calendar. She has had Dalmatians for 32 years finishing conformation and performance titles on numerous dogs in AKC, UKC and International venues. Linda has also worked 34 years for the Federal Government as a Firefighter and recently retired from her position in Logistics and Supply Mangement Officer for the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (Veterinary Medicine).

Karen

was born into a house of dogs. Some of the breeds included Cocker Spaniels, St. Bernards, Irish Wolfhounds and Kerry Blue Terriers. Her true love of Dalmatians didn’t come true until 1981 and she has been an owner, breeder and exhibitor ever since.

She is a graduate of Montserrat College of Art with a minor in photography and worked for many years as a senior store executive for a major retailer. After many years Karen has returned to the world of photography where her favorite subjects are her 3 Dalmatians and her garden. She is now the owner of Sit Stay and Play, A Dog Day Care center in Beverly Massachussetts and enjoys writing for E DogMagazines. In her spare time Karen is also an avid equestrian.

Jane

is the author of the best selling “When Pigs Fly: Training Success With Impossible Dogs.”

She breeds Bull Terriers and is currently producing a film on puppy rearing and socialization in the critical first twelve weeks of life.

Her somewhat paradoxical passions for Bull Terriers (not easy to train) and agility (requires a lot of training) have earned her a PhD in Getting Dogs To Happily Do Stuff They Don’t Naturally Want To Do. She’s been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and present seminars on training “Impossible” dogs, bringing a message to hope to dog owners who are at their wits end.

Michele,

For the Sport of Dogs has become her passion and weekend diversion from the world of High Technology where she has served in various Senior Leadership positions for the past 20 years. Michele was introduced to The Dalmatian breed 16 years ago when her husband decided he wanted a dog that he could take running. By the time they went to pick out their first puppy, they were looking for a show dog. Michele and her husband Tom have bred and exhibited Dalmatians under the SunnyOaks kennel name, producing multiple BISS winners, Group winners, National and Regional Specialty winners, and the 2004 Dalmatian Club of America Top 20 winner who went on to be the #1 Bitch and #3 Dal in 2004 and 2005. Michele has been contributing to E Dog Magazines as a writer for the past few years.
