Sirius of the Week for May 4 - 10, 2008

This week our star is Bandit.

long haired chihuahua

And his person-mom writes,

He's a purebred Long Haired Chihuahua, born November 1st, 2007. Bandit's very energetic for his little size, and smarter then he looks. He's black with blonde markings. He's my little stud.

Bandit's favorite "people" food is cheese. He loves to cuddle and sleep, but get him outside and he can't stop running. He's a one person dog, and he follows me everywhere I go.

Dog Health


From the Crazy for Dogs mailbox:

The Department of Ethology, Eotvos Lorand University and Department of Neurobiology and Cognition Research, University of Vienna are organizing the first Canine Science Forum 2008 conference which will be held in Budapest, between 5-9 July, 2008. The website of conference is available at http://csf2008.elte.hu.

We strongly feel that there is a need for an interdisciplinary forum that brings together scientists with different expertise on Canines who wish to share their research interests with fellow colleagues working on closely or more distantly related fields. This forum aims to substantiate canine biology in order to develop it as a major model of biological investigations.


Beware of Internet Puppy Scams: Unfortunately, unscrupulous people have been sending emails offering to sell pedigree puppies (bulldogs, pugs, and others). Similar phony websites are also on the web. These emails and websites are fake. They are designed to cheat you out of your money either by never sending you the puppy or by sending you a different dog from what you paid for. Your best bet: If you want a purebred, contact a local breed-specific rescue group. Or if you just want a new best friend, save a life from your local animal pound.

It appears that dogs can develop renal failure from eating grapes and raisins. So, to be on the safe side, do not give your dog grapes or raisins as treats. You can read more at these links:

Some Dog Facts

  • In the wild, a mother dog's pack-mates, possibly her own mother, or sisters, but any female, will help her with the puppies, and bring her food. A domesticated dog has a human pack to help.
  • Briards have double hind dew-claws that should not be removed.
  • Chocolate can be fatal to dogs.
  • While it is inside the womb, a puppy is enclosed in its own membrane and attached by its umbilical cord to the placenta. The placenta is, in turn, enclosed in the fluid-filled amniotic sac.
  • The healthy newborn puppy is blind, deaf, toothless, and hungry. It can drag itself around to find a teat (but it cannot walk) and it can suck.
  • The stomach is a muscular pocket that holds from one quart in smaller dogs up to two gallons in big dogs.
  • Dogs cool off by panting. They only have sweat glands in the pads of their feet.
  • The coat of the Weimaraner is almost always short and dense. It can be roebuck, silvery grey, mousy-grey, and all intervening shades of grey. Occasionally there will be white patches on the chest and/or paws.
