<p>Most <a href="http://www.dogbreedss.org">small dog breeds</a> have bags of character, energy and endless love to give, and make for very good household pets. It is advisable to do some careful research, however, if you have small children or other pets, as not all small dog breeds get along with youngsters or other animals, although the majority will be fine with proper socialization. Many small dogs make ideal companions, and are well suited to apartment living because of their size. Many are also well suited as companions for the disabled or elderly as not all toy dogs require a large amount of exercise.</p>
<p>_____________________<br />
First of all, a normal dog pregnancy will last about 63 days, so if you know when she was bred, you should have a pretty good idea of when to expect the puppies. Some of the early signs of pregnancy include increased appetite, weight gain and increased breast size. Of course these can be signs of false pregnancy as well, so always have your vet confirm that your dog is pregnant.</p>
<p>Dog pregnancy tips - Breeding dogs is an exciting experience. From the time a proper mate is found to the point that the puppies are born, it is crucial to take careful steps to make this successful.</p>
<p>A dog&#8217;s pregnancy or gestation period lasts between 60 to 67 days. Most dogs give birth after 63 days.</p>
<p>The only way to determine the stage of the <a href="http://www.dogbreedss.org/dog-pregnancy.htm">dog’s pregnancy </a>is by keeping the track of time from the day of the breeding. Keeping a record of this on file is advisable for reference purposes.</p>
<p>Exactly three weeks after breeding, the mother must be examined to confirm the pregnancy.     <a href="http://www.dogbreedss.org/dog-pregnancy.htm">http://www.dogbreedss.org/dog-pregnancy.htm</a></p>
<p>The dog must be given a formulated and premium brand of dog food for the duration of the pregnancy and throughout the nursing period preferably with strong nutritional foundation.</p>
<p>During dog pregnancy, the mother&#8217;s food consumption will almost double compared to the pre-pregnancy level so increased feeding must be given to ensure that there is enough for both the dog and the puppies.</p>
<p>Behavioral changes are to be expected during this time. The dog will demand for more affection or may experience a few days of vomiting.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://namescat.googlepages.com/cat-pregnancy-symptoms.htm">Cat pregnancy symptoms</a> - The first noticeable sign of pregnancy in a cat is a change in her nipples. Approximately three weeks after mating her nipples will become pinker and more enlarged. This is called &#8216;Pinking&#8217;<br />
Your cat may become more affectionate and want more of your attention. There may be an increase in appetite.<br />
Pregnancy can be confirmed by your vet from approximately 22 days using ultrasound.</p>
<p>As the pregnancy advances your cat may begin &#8216;nesting&#8217; behaviour. She may begin searching for a place to deliver her kittens. She will try to get into closets, cupboards and other secluded places. Usually about two days before giving birth your cat&#8217;s mammary glands will increase in size and she will begin producing milk. Your cat&#8217;s temperature will decrease to about 99 degrees F and you may notice a drop in her appetite. She may become restless and begin nesting in earnest. She may follow you around and become very affectionate or pace from room to room. Other signs are that she may begin purring, meowing, panting, licking her genitals and she may vomit. You may notice a vaginal discharge and eventually contractions. Not all signs apply to all cats.</p>
<p><a href="http://catwebsite.googlepages.com/cat_pregnancy.htm">Cat pregnancy</a> - Cats really should be classified as a truly matriarchal species because the survival of each kitten depends solely upon females. The biological mother is primarily responsible for the care of her young, but other females will feed and protect the kittens when she is absent. The father of the litter, nor any other males will care for the kittens. </p>
<p>In the fifth week you can feel golf-ball sized swellings in her abdomen. Limit your prodding an poking. Use gentle hands as you can damage an embryo or cause a miscarriage. </p>
<p>In the sixth week you will notice her nipples are very large and they look full. They are. She is now storing milk in preparation for those hungry newborn felines.<br />
During her pregnancy, allow Sylvia to lead a normal life. If she is an outdoor cat, let her venture out for a hunt. If she wants to climb, discourage her. She may think she&#8217;s got it all under control, but the weight of her babies has changed her center of balance. </p>

<p>The Sphynx cats that we have today descend from a couple of domestic shorthair farm cats that produced a hairless kitten. The hairless kitten named &#8220;Epidermis&#8221; was put into a successful breeding program in Oregon. The Sphynx cat became a recognized breed in the mid 1970&#8217;s.</p>
<p>Breeding programs in the United States and the Netherlands were based on this original line but have also continued to include hairless cats that appeared spontaneously among domestic cats. The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) accepted this unusual looking breed for registration and competition in the Miscellaneous Class in February 1998.</p>
<p>The Sphynx breed was developed with the help of the Devon Rex, the Devon Rex sometimes occur with sparse fur.</p>
<p>To most people, hairlessness is a denial of everything that cats are about, and it is true to say that, although a curiosity the Sphynx has won a growing band of admirers (myself included!).</p>
<p>It is interesting, however, that the history of the Mexican Aztecs contains stories of a breed of hairless cats which in winter developed a slight growth of hair on the back and along the ridge of the tail. Some modern Sphynxes have the same characteristics.</p>
<p>The hairlessness, so called, because in fact the mature Sphynx has a very short downy coat which can be felt or seen only with difficulty, but no true eyebrows or whiskers - which is caused by a recessive gene. The mutation changed not only the hair length but also the body type, so that the Sphynx does not merely look like a domestic cat without hair. It looks like an entirely different species. in cats with normal coats, the hair regulates body temperature, and the Sphynx&#8217;s lack of hair causes it to sweat and also makes it warm to the touch.<br />
The Sphynx has a long fine and muscular body, barrel-chested, with long slim legs and small dainty paws. The tail is long, thin and hard. the neck is is long and supports a head which is slightly longer than it is wide. The ears appear disproportionately large, wide at the base and round-tipped. The eyes are deep-set and slanted. The skin should have the texture of chamois and may be covered with a very short down. On the ears, muzzle, tail, feet and testicles, there will be short, tightly packed soft hair. The skin is very wrinkled in kittens and adults should retain as many wrinkles as possible, especially on the head. These wrinkles provide much needed insulation. The lack of a thick insulating coat makes the Sphynx very warm to the touch. Although these cats do not have hair that needs to be combed, they do secrete an oil from their skin and require frequent bathing.</p>
<p>Sphynxes are said to be champion purrers, is very people-orientated and affectionate. They love attention! They will greet their owner when they come home and are very talkative. They are highly intelligent, playful, cuddly, often described as being &#8220;part dog, part child, part monkey, and part cat&#8221; - They like to snuggle next to you to sleep and they want to be under the covers. They have fun playing with appropriate cat toys and table tennis balls, most of all, they really love affection from their owner. Some owners have described the Sphynx as a &#8220;clown cat&#8221; - with it twisting and turning in mid-air and other antics it certainly can be a very humorous cat at times.</p>
<p>Sphynxes are essentially indoor cats as they have so little protection from adverse weather, and they do not like resting on cold surfaces. Their body temperature is a degree or two above the average for normal cats and they have voracious appetites to compensate for the heat loss.</p>
<p>Sphynxes have a characteristic pose, when standing, of raising one foreleg.</p>
<p>Kittens are born with a covering of fine down which they lose as they mature. Coat colours and patterns can sometimes be seen faintly in the adult down and on the underlying skin. They come in all colour variations.</p>
<p>The Sphynx cat requires weekly maintenance. Trim their nails as needed, your vet can instruct you on how to trim the nails. The Sphynx needs a bath once a week, use only products labeled &#8220;for cats only&#8221;. Cats are very sensitive, so it is very important to use products that are made specifically for cats. it is important to dry them with a towel after a bath, and not allow them to chill. The ears need to be cleaned once a week. The proper cleaner can be purchased from your vet or a good quality petstore. Use Q-tips to clean and clean only the area that you can see. If you have not done this before, your vet will show you the area of the ear to clean and the proper method.</p>
<p>Remember the Sphynx is an indoor cat only. Their skin is very sensitive due to the lack of hair and they can sunburn easily. If possible, make a place in front of a window where the sunshine comes in. They will likely try to get into open washers or dryers, especially ones that are warm and cosy. Try to keep the washer and dryer doors closed and always double-check before starting a wash or dry cycle.</p>
