How to choose a Maltese

Went to Pasir Ris Pet Farm today as Chowchow's friend is thinking of getting a maltese.

Fell in love with a Cocker Spaniel puppy as well and you can read about that here.

The breeder is very experienced in breeding malteses and these are the tips that she gave us.

1. The angle of the head from the snout should be as close to 90 degrees as possible
2. The nose has to be large and black
3. The eyes have to be large and round too, as it is the face of a maltese that's important
4. All paws should be as black as possible
5. The head should generally be broad
6. Fur-wise, a maltese that has fluffy fur is easier to maintain than one who's fur is cottony
7. Fur colour doesn't matter. It is the facial expression of the maltese which matters. It should appear 'smiling'

There you go! Good tips if you're intending to get a maltese as a pet. Talking to Chowchow's friend has also reminded me that there are general rules that 1st time dog owners seldom consider. Will blog about that as soon as I find a way to make it concise!

Cheerios! Woof woof.

Suicidal Dog - Bridgestone/ Mercedes Commercial

So cute!! How come this isn't shown on Singapore TV?

Muggy weather

The heat these days is disgusting. Bet you've been scoffing down ice drinks or ice-cream. Tempted to give your poochie some too?

What I do is to give Baileys some ice cubes. He's not very fond of them now since he's discovered papaya....but you can try freezing treats in ice cubes! Cools them down, works out their jaws and they think its a treat!

Silly Me

I know why it seems as if nobody's reading my blog...its because I had accidentally deleted my tracker!! LOL...oops...

Doggy shampoo

Sometimes, I don't understand why my dog's shampoo is more expensive than mine. I've asked my vet and he said that dogs' skin has a different pH level than humans. Still doesn't explain the cost!! Horse hair shampoo is sooo cheap and its so good that its better for humans than most of the human shampoo out there.

Ok, that's not the point. Back to doggy and cat shampoo. I've checked with the vet and he said that its perfectly fine to bathe your dogs in diluted human shampoo. That's what I've done with Baileys and he smells goooood...... =)

Let me just revel in how cute I think Baileys is.....

Sleeping after a nice long walk...see...walking your dog helps...especially if you've got a hyperactive pooch.
