Dogs in the News

Picture of Dog in the NewsOn Friday, Max the Jack Russell, saved the lives of the Rowan family of Port Coquitlam, when he alerted them in the middle of the night after a fire started in their home.  Apparently, the batteries in their smoke detector were dead and it was only the persistence barking of Max that woke the family up to the dangerous smoke filling the house.  Fortunately, no one was seriously injured but the house was completely destroyed.  Click here to get the full story.

Did you Know?

There is good reason for poodles to have such crazy haircuts.  Poodles are actually hunters and they need to have their hair shaved so they are not weighted down by it when they are swimming after their prey.  The puffy hair that the groomers leave on their heads, and around their knees, ankles and torso, is left there to keep their joints and internal organs warm.

 

DOG OF THE MONTH

The Basenji made an appearance in civilization at the dawn of history. Brought down the Nile as a tribute by people from Central Africa, he was a palace dog so long ago that he watched the pyramids being built.  Pictured in bas-relief and sculptured in stone as far back as 4000 BC, the Basenji is shown both as a hunter and as a favored house per lying under the pharaoh's chair.  His original habitat is the headwaters of both the Nile and the Congo in the heart of Africa.  Basenjis are still hunting dogs of native tribes, and so necessary are they to the Pygmies that a wife can be purchased for less than a Basenji.
