Ask yourself the following questions in order to decide whether horse training is right for you

1. Do you like horses and if it is horse training that you really want to do? 2. Have you taken part in horse shows and been to or watched any horse races? 3. Do you want to learn new information about the kinds of horse feeds on the market, as well as find out the required dietary allowance for each type of horse? 4. Would you enjoy grooming horses every day? 5. Would you mind talking to them? Horses obey more through human contact, especially the human voice, this is from the studies made. 6. Are you an encouraging person? 7. Do you have leadership quality? 8. Are you willing to put tacks or harnesses on the horse in order for them to be used to the tools? 9. Do you mind riding the horses and observing their behavior with each temperament when asked? 10. Are you going to be patient when training them?

Is Your Beagle Breeder Telling You The Truth?

by Michelle Adams

There is a growing epidemic in this country. A recent spike in the popularity of beagles has led to the rise of a great many dishonest beagle breeders who run puppy mills to meet the growing demand for these sweet little dogs. These puppy mills, as a general rule, supply the majority of pet stores in this country; which is why many would-be beagle owners wind up taking sick or dying dogs home with them.

The majority of quality beagle breeders would not even consider supplying pups to a pet store. Beagles who live in pet stores generally live in cramped conditions, with no hope of getting proper exercise; and although not necessarily mistreated, are often only one in a sea of pups all clamoring for attention. These pups have typically not received the proper medical treatment that beagle’s need, which makes them even more prone to illness than normal.
