I use this product daily in my kennel

Vitamin E is an antioxidant and anticarcinogen. It helps to protect vitamin C and vitamin A from oxidation.

 Vitamin C,
Super C 2000, $37.00
 I use this product daily in my kennel.

 The body requires Vitamin C to form and maintain bones, blood vessels and skin. Vitamin C is responsible for  
 helping to build and maintain tissue and strengthen the immune system. It acidifies urine and may build resistance to allergies.

 Higher, tasty concentration is easier to feed! Just half a teaspoon equals 2000 ml of vitamin C. Less powder to mix into food 
 to turn off those finicky eaters! Buffered with calcium bicarbonate for superior, yet cost-effective, assimilation.

   Dosage:

Cat & Small Animals
1/8 teaspoon to 1/2 teaspoon per day

Medium to Large Dog
1/4 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon per day

Salmon Oil

 
 Salmon Oil, $31.50
for 32 fl.oz.

 I use this in my own kennel. My dogs love it. I have dogs that will spit a gell cap out. These same dogs love this
 salmon oil. It's an excellent all-natural source of Omega3 and Omega 6. It's easier than capsules for a puppy to
 swallow.


   Freezing of Salmon Oil is not recommended. Salmon Oil should be used within 3 months of opening a bottle.

$11.00

 


  Probiotic supplement, probios, $11.00
(240 grams Powder)

   I use this product daily in my kennel, 1/4-1 tsp.

Why use Probiotics?

  • To provide a source of live, naturally occurring microorganisms
  • To maintain a healthy microbial balance in dogs
  • To supplement desirable organisms to newborn puppies
  • During incidences of diarrhea
  • To help maintain appetite
  • As part of a health maintenance program

        When to use Probiotics

Dogs are exposed to many stresses that can result in lack of appetite, diarrhea and other intestinal upsets. These stresses may include:

  • Transportation ~ Some dogs can become extremely agitated when traveling by car or plane which can cause loss of appetite or diarrhea.
  • Competition Dogs ~ The excitement of the competition, along with traveling, and exposure to strange dogs and people, can create a nervous stress in dogs, frequently manifested by reduced appetite, vomiting and diarrhea.
  • Boarding ~ Lack of appetite or nervous diarrhea are common in some dogs when boarded in a strange kennel.
  • Antibiotic Therapy ~ Antibiotics can destroy pathogenic microorganisms as well as the beneficial bacteria that are normally found in an animal's digestive tract.
  • Post-Surgery ~ High doses of antibiotics are often used to reduce the possibility of heavy contamination during surgery. This frequently lowers populations of beneficial bacteria as well. In addition, antibiotics are used after surgery, which can alter the physiological activity of the gut and allow the intestinal microbial population to become unbalanced.
  • Chronic Diarrhea ~ Many times, the etiology of chronic diarrhea is unknown, and the animal won't respond to usual therapy.
  • Post-Whelping ~ To maintain appetite and good milk flow, give Probiotic to bitches, especially "nervous mommas" and first time whelpers.
  • Newborn Pups ~ The neonatal period for the newborn pup is a critical time for survival. Normally, newborns quickly acquire bacteria from their mother and surrounding environment, many of which are potential pathogens such as E. coli. Therefore, it is desirable to establish early colonization of the intestinal tract with beneficial bacteria, especially if the pups become orphaned.
  • Geriatric Dogs ~ Digestive problems are fairly common in older pets, including reduced appetite, diarrhea and constipation. Probiotics helps reduce the occurrence of digestive problems due to old age.

               Fading Puppy Remedy

 In order to maintain freshness, I order on an
  "as need" basis:
To order this item email tennesse@charter.net

 

 

 

 Fading Puppy Remedy, Homeopathic preparation, $30 (To order this item email tennesse@charter.net )

Richard Croft, the originator of the Fading Puppy Remedy, developed the product over many years, based on observation and trying over 800 combinations. It has been used for over 30 years in Europe and has treated tens of thousands of puppies and kittens.

To ensure freshness of product, I do not store a lot of this. Shelf life is 18 months.
Ingredients:    Cal-Carb, Acid-Acetic, Hepar-Sulph, Kali-Mur, 2 ounces.

If you have a group of breeders who would like to order multiples, I can work out a discount.

I would not have a litter without this product.

Dosage to the puppies from birth: As a preventative give 2 drops twice daily if they look normal, for two to three weeks. If there is any deterioration in the puppies increase dosage to 4 drops half hourly or hourly for about eight to twelve hours in every 24 hours. The dosage relies very much on how the puppies are responding, so give more or less as you think best. All litters of puppies are different so you may see variations in the response to the remedy.

One sign is a tendency to "puff and blow" a little. In this case cut the dosage in half.
NOTE:
For premature toy puppies that weigh under 3 ounces, dilute the remedy one drop to three drops of pure water.
Then give a single drop per dose.

Puppies that are being bottle fed or supplemented can be given the Remedy as it will also help the digestive system. Give it after dewclaw removal and tail docking to allay trauma.

The Fading Puppy Remedy will improve the milk of the bitch and the dosage of half a teaspoon can be given once or twice a day, regardless of the size of the bitch. Homeopathy is not dosed by weight.

I have seen incredible results when giving the dam Fading Puppy Remedy during whelping for exhaustion. To help prevent Fading Puppy Syndrome it is recommended to give the remedy from the time of mating at half a teaspoon daily. This is particularly good for bitches with a history of loss. It has increased the overall health of our litters and gives us uniform in size and robust litters.

 DVD-501

$40.00

 Your Puppy 8 weeks to 8 months, DVD, Leerburg Kennel ,  $40
 

This training video answers all the questions new puppy owners have concerning the care of their new puppy. Ed Frawley has been breeding dogs since 1978 and has produced over 350 litters of working bloodline German Shepherd puppies, although the methods demonstrated work for all breeds of dogs.
 

This is the DVD that all of my puppy families receive from me as a gift prior to their pups coming home, whether they have had pups in the past or are first time dog owners.  I will not let a pup go until the family has viewed this.

Establishing Pack Structure with The Family Pet, DVD, Leerburg Kennel, $40

The vast majority of dogs do not want to be pack leaders. They are much more comfortable when someone else becomes a pack leader and they are happiest when this job is taken by their owner.

Once a dog accepts a pack leader, that dog becomes calm and submissive. The dog knows his new pack leader will take care of all of life's needs. He understands his leader feeds him, waters him, exercises him, and protects him from stray dogs and bad people. The dog learns that guests to the home are the pack leader's guests and not intruders or people for the dog to either play with or become aggressive towards.

With this said, the road to a calm, submissive dog is to first establish leadership. This 4 hour DVD explains the foundation on how to get your dog ready for obedience training. Once that's done, the pack leader can introduce his rules and begin to obedience train his or her dog.

 

 DVD-503

$40.00

 Basic Dog Obedience, DVD, Leerburg Kennel , $40,

The best dog trainers know how to build a bond based on two way respect between the dog and the handler. These trainers know how to motivate a dog to want to learn. They understand how and when to apply distractions during training so they can show the dog that it must mind under all circumstances.

This DVD is organized into chapters, just like a book. The menu for our DVD allows you to watch the chapter you want when you want. This makes for a very simple review.

 Housetraining eBook, Leerburg Kennel, $12
 

There are a million "old wives tales" out there that are nothing more than misinformation on house train dogs.

$16.00

20 ft. Cotton Training Leash, $16

This 20 foot light weight training line is light enough that it can be used on young puppies and strong enough for use with adult dogs. I have found that a cotton line, like the one we sell, is better than a nylon line because it does not get slippery when wet like a nylon line. It is also lighter in weight than a leather line.

This leash has a comfortable hand loop and is made out of the finest quality cotton. It has solid cast hardware which is corrosion resistant.

This leash is 1/2 inch wide.

 

 

$17.00

  Leather Two Dog Lead, handmade, $17.00 
  Comes in black, brown and burgandy.
5/8" wide x 12" long

Our dog leashes are made from soft Latigo leather. You will never find a leash of this quality in any pet store or dog food warehouse.
The snaps on our leather dog leashes and collars are made from the highest quality Italian bronze. These snaps are generally sewn and then pop riveted to insure the highest security available.

You can buy a cheaper leash at any store in your town, but you will NEVER buy a better quality leash anywhere.

 

 

 

 

$23.00

Leather Traffic Leashes, $23.00 for 18 inch

  A traffic leash is a big leather leash handle with a bronze snap.
  They are easier to grip than a normal leash and offer better control when the dog needs to remain close to the handler.
