Wellard, Eastenders, and the Pedigree advert
Have you seen the Pedigree Chum advert [UK readers] about Marley & Me?
In the centre of the group of dogs watching is a Belgian... do you think he looks a little like Wellard from Eastenders?
Actually he should do! He is the 'Wellard' actors grandson... so Wellard is now a proud grandma of a budding animal actor!
Note: [This is just an update for all followers of Wellard on my various blogs - and will be posted on them all!]

More hints and tips + new blog
The winter here in the UK seemed to have gone on for ever! Dogs got covered in mud or soaked every time they went out for exercise. Not to mention the dangers of frozen stretches of water in ponds and canals especially - let's hope it's soon completely over and we get a drier and better spring and summer which is more suited to outdoor pursuits, especially dog agility!
If you are experiencing difficulties when drying and cleaning your pup, then get your puppy used to being cleaned up after its walks by using a reward - it's easier if there are two of you - one holding treats, and the other doing the necessary cleaning.
There is a new blog which has just started at Lhasa Apso Potty Training which deals with all sorts of doggy behaviours. Do please click over and see what you think!

Good or Bad timing?
Discover How You Can Have Your Own Successful Business
Online In 30 Days ... Or LESS!
Every once in a while, something comes along that changes
the way that people do business online. Sometimes it's a
new software product, sometimes it's a traffic generator.
Right now, online marketer Richard Legg is putting the
finishing touches to his new online marketing course
titled:
"Succeed In 30 Days - How anyone can have an online
business in a month or less"
I've had a sneak preview of the course and I can tell
you it is absolutely amazing. If you are a newbie, or
if you've tried every program under the sun... and failed, this WILL help you finally succeed online. As part of the
course you'll discover:
> How to have your own "Online Empire" even if you have
absolutely no experience.
> How to generate a list of Hungry buyers for ANY site.
> How to advertise to millions of people legitimately.
> How to get the most essential tool, that every marketer
needs. Without it, you could lose 90% of sales.
(You'll be shown how to get it at No-Cost!)
> Plus: Instant Access to a resource that can make you
$50 or more within one hour of joining.
Plus much, much more...
As you can guess, a package like this could easily sell
for hundreds *BUT* act now and you can get instant access
at no cost to you whatsoever!
Not many people know this, but in order to tweak and
perfect the course, Richard is GIVING away a limited number
of V.I.P memberships to the first few people to visit the
site and join up. This way he can get feedback and improve it.
Once he's confident, he's going to start charging up to
$197 - $297 for the course.
I have been given access to a special V.I.P link to share
with a few people. Visit the site now, and you can join
for absolutely nothing. You can save hundreds!
Succeed in 30 Days
Like I said, there are only a limited number of V.I.P
memberships and many are gone already. If you want to
grab a copy, you must visit now and secure it before
someone else does..

Dog and Puppy Health Problems
Did you see the much publicised Pedigree Dogs Exposed [on UK TV] which has left most dog breeders and exhibitors incredulous and angry, and others feeling that it may have served as a timely reminder that there are issues that need addressing by the KC and breeders before it becomes too late?!
Then there was the Martin Clunes dog programme [in 2 parts] which was MOST interesting... and did touch on the same negative health problems occuring in pedigree dogs in the last programme. If you missed both programmes and own a pedigree dog do try and see if any of your friends taped the programmes. Most worrying!
The health problems appear to be getting worse and worse. Just looking at some breeds makes you worry - think of the poor Alsations, whose back ends and legs look all wrong, and from what was said on the programme it is being encouraged by the Kennel Club as the way they should be! But it causes untold problems later in life, and not that much later, either!
Arthritis, heart problems, heads too small for the brain, poor articulation, breathing problems, and so much more is being increasingly found within the pedigree dog breeds - in breeding is a major problem, as is breeding for required TYPE for showing. More worryingly, dogs with known problems are being made champions and are being bred from in large numbers - increasing the problem exponentially.
[If you are thinking of adopting new dog from rescue - a working dog, from working stock, a mixed breed, a Heinz 57, would all be perhaps better bets health wise - obviously if you are a fan of a particular breed, then it will be that particular rescue that you go, but do please be aware that the veterinarian costs for your new pet could be horrendous... maybe the previous owners knew of the health problem and that was their reason for the abandonment!
I do know of some unscrupulour cases of this phenomena. Your breed's Welfare Trust might be helpful in this respect if they can afford it - I know with our Trust they do fund vets fees for health checks firstly, and secondly try to fund vets fees for problems found in abandoned animals.]
The mental anguish, the vets costs, and the final outcome of this ticking time bomb is something perhaps best avoided.
It was horrific to hear how some of those poor animals suffered, and all in the name of 'best of breed'! I know of several people who couldn't bear to watch all of the programme - but it is best publicised, whilst hopefully, there is still time to at least partially reverse the harm being done to pedigree breeds.

EastEnders and Wellard
Do you watch EastEnders? [UK TV programme] You'll be happy to know that Kyte who played Wellard is alive and well, though she is getting on in years!
She is trained using treats, will do anything for food! She really played the part amazingly well from when she took the part over from her mother. Terence, also of EastEnders fame comes from the same 'stable'.
What really pleased me was that EastEnders undertook to highlight the danger to dogs from CHOCOLATE. If you are getting a new puppy before Christmas - please pay attention here!
The choclate treats you can buy for your pet in the petshop are totally different, and aren't dangerous, but chocolate which is meant for human consumption can have an extremely detrimental effect on the health of your pet and in some cases, kill.
Please keep it away from them... Christmas can be a very tempting time for your dog with chocolate decorations on the tree maybe and also presents [chocolates] under the tree on Christmas night. Make sure your dog is well away from these temptations.
