For Breeders -- Developing High Achievers
In many animal-breeding programs
the entire process of selection and management is founded on the belief that
performance is inherited. However, there is credible evidence that a large
percentage of performance is actually controlled by other influences, such as
training, management and nutrition. Researchers have studied this phenomena and
have looked for new ways to
stimulate individuals in order to improve their natural abilities. Some of the
methods discovered have produced life long lasting effects. Today, many of the
differences between individuals can now be explained by the use of early
stimulation methods.

Pet Resume
Make a resume for your pet to present to landlords. For example, if your pet is
quiet, calm and/or less active, point that out. If you have an active dog,
explain how you fulfill his/her exercise requirements. In addition to your
pet's resume, you may also want to attach reference letters from current and
previous landlords and/or neighbors; certificates of completion of
obedience/training classes; references from your pet's trainer or groomer; a
health certificate from your vet; and if your pet is cute, a picture.

Defining a Pet's Quality of life
Whenever one considers the painful choice of euthanasia, one is always advised
to take the pet's "quality of life" into account. But what is "quality of
life"? How can you determine whether a pet is still experiencing a good quality
of life -- or whether its level of suffering is no longer acceptable?

Who Will Care for Your Dogs?
by Betsy Polglase , MA
If you suffered a stroke, were in a serious auto accident, or in some other
major crisis which took you from your home—perhaps permanently—who would care
for your [Airedales]? I cannot imagine a scenario more tragic than dogs trapped
in crates, or alone in a house with no food or water and no way to relieve
themselves—and no one knowing they were there. From

The Relationship Between Animal Abuse and Child Abuse
Nearly all children go through a stage of "innocent" cruelty during which they
may harm insects or other small animals in the process of exploring their
world. Most children, however, with guidance from parents and teachers, develop

lifetime pattern of cruelty. What We Can Do
