Our newest Aussie (Australian Shepherd) Wallpaper

Why dogs bark

The first point is that barking is a form of communication. When a dog barks, there is a reason for it. Sometimes it will be a simple reason when the dogs see someone or something and in other times the dog wants your help. You need to find out why a dog is barking in order to stop them doing it.

When your dog barks all the time he is sending you a distress signal. He needs something what he didn't get so far. Are you walking enough? Is he living a well balanced life? All those questions should come up in your mind.
And don't think a dog will greets you with barking. That's usally a sign that your dog is bored and lonely cause its not a natural setting. Dogs simply don't use emotions like we do. Remember that they are dogs!

She is so Cute!

I just have to upload this pic. Isn't she cute?

The Australian shephard

The Australian shephard is called Aussie aswell and he is a breed or herding dog and was devoloped in the United States.
Despite his name was not devoloped in Australia, this is just the name cause they used these dogs to herd Autralian sheeps.

The Australian shephard is a medium sized breed. Their weigt will be from 40-90 Pounds and the are anywhere from 17 - 26 inches in height. Aussie colars are red, black, blue merle and red merle. That's why every dog looks individual.
This dog is highly energetic and requiring a great deal of exercise and attention. An Aussie enjoys working, practicing tricks or competing in dog agility

Like other herding breeds, the Aussie like esprecially herding, dog agility, frisbee and flyball.

How to choose the dog food?

This is a very complex topic. Everyone tells you what is good and what is bad and so on. But I got a few points which are very important.

 

1. Only animal-based proteins and high-quality refinded meals - so no vegetable-based protein
2. Don't look only at the price. The cheapest food is most of the time not the right thing for your dog. There is no need to buy a very expensive one too. You have to look what is inside the food and then make your choice.
3. Look at the age of your dog. Most of the time there are different products for different ages. (Usually 1-12 months, 1-7 years and 7 years and older)

Her sister Ivy

The last time I forgot to mention that a good friend of us bought her sister so they can play together every week. I think its very good for the devolopment of the dog's character.
The learn to play with other dogs and they socialize faster than other dogs. It's good for the health aswell.
I think we can see Ivy nearly every weekend and from time to time under the week aswell.

Hope you like the picture. (Peach left - Ivy right)

Our new Cutie

This is our new cutie Peach. Right now she is 10 weeks old and it's an Australian Shepherd. (Wikipedia Link) As you can see she is so small and cute and here eyes are dark blue which is wonderful.

Hopefully we are able to train some tricks with her. But right now she is sleeping most of the time cause she is so young.

I will you keep updated and I will post more pictures soon!
