Raising Healthy and Happy Dogs
At some point we had to make the hip and elbow dysplasia screening. I even did not know that there was such thing. But as breeder of my dog told me to do that and I am a very responsible person I did it immediately. The outcome was excellent, free of everything, as good as it gets. Then I started to look around for finding information what does it really mean to understand what is it about I need to be celebrating actually.
Time passed, meanwhile I started my dog breeding era until I managed to buy myself a 5 months age puppy with severe elbow dysplasia. I let the blue heeler puppies for sale to be operated and it took her six months painful recovery. The way she was laying on my living room floor and cried ripped my heart off and I promised myself that health will be priority number one for me in the future. It was simply heartbreaking for me to think about dogs in such condition.
So I started my journey of researching and proving. Went wrong analyzed it again. I found patterns of people actions that raised dogs with their mistakes and the outcome in the dogs. I found patterns of people with whom all the dogs were raised healthy. In some people hands all their dogs grow up having severe health problems having extremely healthy parents and brothers and sisters. In some people hands even the dogs from not healthy parents grow up to be healthy and long living.
The same way it was with the success in shows and competitions. How likely it is to be that person, who takes its first dog, no matter if from world winners parents, is going to win with this dog the world championship? And how likely it is that an experienced dog handler and maybe even earlier high achiever takes a new dog and wins with it again! Out there are bets when a world winner takes itself a new dog if it is going to win the world championship also with the new dog. And quite often wins the one who made the bet on repeating the success.
