No Need For BSL- Breed Specific Legislation Written by: Rachael Stacknick Member of: www.web-rover.com

In short breed specific legislation is a quick fix for a growing problem, only thing is it does not fixrepparttar problem. Many cities, countries, states and provinces have now jumped onrepparttar 125637 band wagon to implement BSL. Most recently Ontario and there ban against "Pit Bull's". What people do not realize is that it will not stop here,repparttar 125638 bites will not stop,repparttar 125639 government will not stop banning breeds. Sure ok, they get rid of pit bull's (which i do not agree with), so mayberepparttar 125640 bite statistics will go down for a while. Then people start getting other dogs (of any breed) and start training them to fight and attack.....what do you do now? It is a vicious cycle (no pun intended) that will never end. Some places have even brought in hyenas and apes and are training them to take place of their fighting dogs!........It all comes down torepparttar 125641 government making a hasty decision and not listening torepparttar 125642 experts....and irresponsible ownership.

So what is irresponsible ownership you say???

Well, this could be a long explanation, but I will try to keep it torepparttar 125643 point. Irresponsible ownership primarily is: 1. Irresponsible breeding 2. Leaving your dog outside chained up with no human contact(or very little) 3. Training your dog to fight 4. Not giving your dog proper socialization with all kinds of people varying in age colour and sex 5. Walking your dog off leash in public 6. Not Spaying and neutering 7. Not keeping your pet's shots up to date 8. Not having your dog licensed byrepparttar 125644 city 9. Not keeping your dog on a proper diet 10. Not having a properly fenced yard 11. Not having your dog obedience trained (These are in no particular order)

These are just things off ofrepparttar 125645 top of my head.....there are many more, but most of it is common sense or at least should be.

Do not get me wrong though. I am so very sorry torepparttar 125646 people who have been severly injured by a dog or have lost someone because of a dog attack. But this happens with all breeds of dogs, fromrepparttar 125647 smallest torepparttar 125648 largest. We only hear aboutrepparttar 125649 bites and attacks from those dogs that are on someone's hit list.....primarily, pit bull's, rottweilers, dobermans, german shepherds, and akitas. We dont normally hear aboutrepparttar 125650 chiuahiua that bit jimmy last week and drew blood, orrepparttar 125651 shihtzu that bit julie last night and drew blood (names and breeds here are just an example)...why don't we hear about them? Because they are not onrepparttar 125652 hit list......yet. Every dog hasrepparttar 125653 capability of severly injuring someone....they all haverepparttar 125654 same set of teeth, sorepparttar 125655 criminals, drug ops and so on will keep training whatever dog they can get a hold of to be there attack dog's, and soon, when there are no more dog's they will move to another animal.....surprise surprise.

Puppy Vaccines Assure Wagging Tails and Wet Noses

When you get a new puppy it is imperative that he receive all his proper puppy vaccines. These protect him from getting diseases if he becomes exposed to them. Whenrepparttar pet doctor injects a vaccine into your puppy, it "teaches"repparttar 125636 pup’s immune system what a disease organism looks like. Butrepparttar 125637 vaccine contains only weak or dead versions ofrepparttar 125638 organism, sorepparttar 125639 puppy's immune system learns to recognize it, but withoutrepparttar 125640 danger of serious infection.

Later in life, ifrepparttar 125641 organism ever attacks,repparttar 125642 puppy’s immune system is already prepared to fight it off because ofrepparttar 125643 vaccine. When a puppy receives a puppy vaccine, his body forms antibodies that can fight that particular disease. Withrepparttar 125644 antibody already inrepparttar 125645 puppy’s system, it will have a better chance of fighting offrepparttar 125646 infection. Puppies should receive their puppy vaccines beginning when they are underrepparttar 125647 age of four months. Your vet will know which vaccines to give, and in what order. It's also important to give booster shots. These keeprepparttar 125648 puppy vaccines current. You need to do this so that your puppy's immunity continues to be strong. Some vets have a reminder system, and will phone you or send out a postcard to let you know when it's time for booster shots. However, it's good if you also keep your own records of all shots, medical treatments and puppy vaccines, so you'll know when it’s time.
